This was the first place that we sat down and had a meal while visiting Los Angeles for the first time ever. It was a Saturday evening and we were able to get in and get a table. Parking was tight but there is a valley just down the road for $10. Inside the restaurant there is a indoor bar portion and an beautiful outdoor patio with lots of plants and lights. The ordering style is do it yourself, You can walk up to the bar or in the case of the patio is a food truck, Is and order your drinks and food. You get your drink on the spot and they bring food to your table. The food was incredible I had the best pork belly that I have ever had in my life, The drinks were very unique and very tasty. Staff was great and the atmosphere was incredibly chill ,great vibe.

We visited here on a Monday during happy hour, and sat on their pretty patio. Our food was delicious, especially the fish (cod) taco and the charcuterie board. The drinks were lovely too! We enjoyed it so much that we plan on going back there to have dinner sometime soon. In the picture there's more olives and cheese hiding behind the bread! Next time I will ask for the bread to be not grilled (my own pref.)

One of my favourite spots to meet friends, and great for casual business meetings. Awesome outdoor area, well lit, lots of plants, funky style. Indoors it’s a nice pub style bar, with plenty of seating and always a friendly atmosphere. Laurel has plenty of beers on tap, great cocktails, but the Crispy chicken sandwich is what I order here. All the food is good, but that sandwich fantastic! Get it smothered in sauce and it’s even better. If you’re pretending to be healthy you can grab the salad version, but it’s worth the extra calories.

I came into this place on a Friday night after a long, stressfull day of work. The overall experience of this place allowed me to wind down and leave in the right state of mind.

The atmosphere of this place is definitely a strong attribute. The lighting is plentiful, yet dim, making it feel very elegant and soothing. The outdoor seating is even better.

The beer that I ordered was very good as well. With that in mind, there's a pretty good variety of beer, wine and cocktails at this place.

Overall, I would return for another visit if ever given the opportunity.

Great place to grab a quick lunch under $20. Good drinks, lots of space and not overly crowded. Order at bar, get a number have food delivered to table outside or inside. Also, a very clean and upbeat vibe imo.

Been here previously for lunch, but stopped in for a quick dinner.

Good location on Ventura nr Laurel Cyn. There's parking available just to the east but I found street parking. Both indoor and outdoor seating is available.

All orders are done at the bar, for food, drinks, etc. Menus are posted on the wall and behind the bar, as well as QR codes on the tables for convenience. Service was fast, bartenders were nice. Food was excellent.

Great food and atmosphere here at Laurel Tavern. The outside patio is super comfy and enjoyable for drinking with friends. All of the food we ordered was delicious, especially the french dip. My only complaint was the ordering process. Everything had to be ordered at the bar which became a little frustrating waiting behind a bunch of people just ordering drinks. I think this spot would benefit from a "ordering from QR code and have food delivered to each table" situation. Overall great time here though. I'll come back more this summer to enjoy the patio.

Good draft beers & craft cocktails! Food is delicious! Everyone with me enjoyed their food, including me. Parking is limited, they do offer valet for $8. Sometimes you can find meter parking, you might have to spin the block.
