The Top 10 Gastropubs in LA

The Village Idiot.

Sep 21, 2012 —  Let’s face it, LA can be a pretty sceney town. Every day there’s some new story about the latest hotspot or freshest celebrity hangout, or which new restaurant just opened from that chef who won that show nobody admits they watch even though everyone does.

For those who care more about what they see on their plates than who they see sitting nearby, however, there is a wealth of city venues that offer a dedicated approach to quality while still maintaining a largely casual vibe, and there may be no better place to find that than at the many gastropubs in Los Angeles.

LA gastropubs – at least the ones we like – host that perfect unison of a stellar drinks selection paired with equally stellar food. They’re where you can suck the bone marrow out a of dry-aged rib-eye in-between snorts of a 15 year-old whiskey, or where the froth of a craft beer melds with the aroma of something you’d be willing to drive across the 405 during rush hour to taste.

Gastropubs in LA don’t require you to don a tuxedo or wait behind a velvet rope to gain entry, but they do ask you ditch the Bud Light and pretzels, at least for one night.

    The Hudson

    Bar / Gastropub / Restaurant

    The Hudson - Bar | Gastropub | Restaurant in Los Angeles.
    Unassuming one-story buildings in West Hollywood are about as remarkable as statuesque blondes, but what The Hudson lacks in flash on the outside, it more than makes up for with substance and style on the inside. A semi-enclosed dining room allows smartly dressed WeHo guests to take advantage of a refreshing, breezy atmosphere as

    The Village Idiot

    The Village Idiot - Gastropub | Restaurant in Los Angeles.
    A modern gastropub and popular neighborhood haunt – not to mention one of the biggest Premier League football bars in the city – The Village Idiot draws an outgoing and loyal crowd of young professionals, soccer fans, and expats. High ceilings and expansive windows create an airy and inviting atmosphere where after-work groups

    The Churchill

    The Churchill - Bar | Gastropub in Los Angeles.
    Though The Churchill just entered the scene in late-2011, it has the distinction of being run by the same guys behind West Hollywood’s casual and very popular bar The Hudson. Churchill is bigger than its older brother, however, and its rustic design with old-fashioned Edison light bulbs and unfinished wood flooring creates an atmosphere that is

    Mohawk Bend

    Mohawk Bend - Bar | Gastropub in Los Angeles.
    Housed inside a refurbished hundred-year-old vaudeville theater, Mohawk Bend is a trendy Echo Park eatery with a small menu of sustainable cuisine and a massive selection of craft beer.

    Rosewood Tavern

    Bar / Gastropub

    Rosewood Tavern - Bar | Gastropub in Los Angeles.
    While Los Angeles doesn’t lack for pubs, Rosewood Tavern is a fresh combination of traditional English bar and American steakhouse – mixed with a wee bit of sports and a whole lot of whiskey. Roughly fifty different whiskeys to be exact, along with nearly thirty tap beers and plenty of grub, all of which makes Rosewood a neighborhood favorite for

    Beer Belly - Bar | Gastropub in Los Angeles.
    Hidden behind one of Koreatown’s many cookie cutter strip malls is a world of craft brew, just waiting inside Beer Belly’s white, graffiti-covered building. A spinoff of the owner’s beer-collecting hobby, the bar features a drink menu offering a rotating range of budget-minded locally produced drafts and premium bottles that can cost a pretty

    Little Bear

    Gastropub

    Little Bear - Gastropub in Los Angeles.
    On the outskirts of Downtown, smack dab in the middle of the Arts District, there’s a little slice of Belgium called the Little Bear gastropub. There’s not much down this stretch of the aptly-named Industrial Street, although the venue’s towering red doors would make it easy to spot even if there were. Inside, a simple design of bare concrete

    City Tavern

    Bar / Gastropub

    City Tavern - Bar | Gastropub in Los Angeles.
    Although it offers more than twenty draft microbrews and a menu that includes everything from buttermilk-drenched cheesy poofs to pan-seared scallops, what really sets rustic City Tavern apart are the handful of self-serve tap handles protruding from its walls. Those smart enough to reserve a seat at one of the three booths surrounding those taps

    Self-described as “the perfect escape from the Hollywood bar scene,” the scholastically-themed Library Bar is both a sophisticated drinking spot and after-work social scene that caters to downtown residents, business professionals, and local USC students. The neon blue sign outside belies the venue’s chic décor and upscale vibe inside, where

    Boasting over three dozen carefully selected craft beers and a menu anchored by Andalusian tapas, The 3rd Stop is a cozy gastropub/sports bar hybrid popular with denizens of Beverly Hills and West Hollywood, as well as a large contingent of friendly young professionals dropping by for after-work unwinding.
