John CassilloAugust 23, 2013One of the best beer selections in Los Angeles. Great aesthetic, affordable prices -- a great spot to check out if you're in West Hollywood.
Damian POctober 26, 2013Tap list is great, bottle list is too! bar staff know what they are talking about. Unfortunately no food, but hey, can't have everything!
ClareFebruary 24, 2016Love the atmosphere. Great beer selection. Music was hit or miss & got louder & dancey as the night went on (even though nobody was dancing.)
Alex StillApril 24, 2018Beer bar menu, but not a beer bar vibe. Lots of young folks slamming shots of Tequila to loud, contemporary music. Probably a great place to spend a weeknight when it's a bit quieter.
Dahlia TurnbullApril 2, 2017Great service and the lady who hosts the karaoke remembered me from a year before 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Best craft beer selection, bartenders, and managers on the planet. You will never want to leave!
RustinNovember 1, 2013This place is good for pretty girls and gay guys.. So basically fun for everyone. The bar is tough to get a drink so plan 2 at a time and grab a seat in the back
Matt AllardMay 14, 2017They have a $4 draft and well drink happy hour M-F from 6-8pm, and from 1-3pm on the weekends.- Lauren AufieroJuly 2, 2011Best gem of a local bar in LA. Cool and real peeps flock to the goat like an unspoken rite of moonlit fireside mindshare. Try the raspberry ale and seasonal brews
E ZJuly 18, 2014Closes place that's like back home. NY/LES I miss you. But this place has a great beer selection on tap and Toxic Avenger on the TV. Lol
LeAnne Good For SpooningAugust 14, 2013While there is a great selection of beer - please don't expect decent service. The bar staff is SLOW and not exactly friendly, although they are knowledgeable about their products.
Lots of fun. One of the few places around the area that generally doesn't have a line to get in.
Andy DavidsonJanuary 2, 2015Twenty or so craft beers for about $6 to $8 each. Tasty and great service as well.- Nice little patio, game room, Solidarity for $4 - I'm a happy camper
Don't overlook the beer fridge it's crazy good. Be sure to taste a beer before buying a glass, they won't let you change a beer if you don't like it.
Josh GallagherNovember 21, 2014Amazing selection of beers from around the world and US. Pricey but worth it,
- Don't overlook the bottles in the fridge, there are some rare beers that are worth the money.
God I love this place. I believe in this place. Great place. Great beer. Great beertenders. One of the best bars in la
Fantastic taps. Also: shuffleboard, fooseball, and pacman. Nice bartenders to boot. Best bar I've been to in LA
David AbedMarch 18, 2010I went here for St Patrick's Day. The crowd was light but solid and both Irish beers were $5...not bad. This is 4 blocks from my house so you will see me their often.
Sean ParmenterMay 5, 2011$4 pints and wells 6-8pm...rotating beer lists from local breweries...how can you go wrong?!
Great games, great selection of beer. Try the Ruination 10th Anniversary!
Teresa TongApril 13, 2011Skipp the beer-tender is the best! Try the Solidarity from Eagle Rock brewery. Yum!
Ricardo HernandezNovember 1, 2016Deep dive bar in West Hollywood. Tap line up is not that impressive and decor/atmosphere the same.
Ryan is a great and generous owner. Great hot bar keeps as well.
