Editorial Review for Barney's Beanery – by Kim Cooper
The Scene
What was once a ratty neighborhood dive frequented by beats, hippies and Jim Morrison is now a ratty neighborhood dive full of sports fans from UCLA. The cavernous interior hides many cozy nooks from which to watch the game. The infamous anti-gay policy was done away with a long time ago, but for a bar in the middle of Boys Town, you'll find a pretty straight crowd. Expect friendly folks who appreciate old-school scruffiness. Saturday nights can get crowded.
The Draw
Barney's offers a huge menu of comfort food: 150 different burgers, 65 chilis, 90 omelettes and much more. Also, 50-cent pool games, popular karaoke nights and an excellent happy hour keep the crowds happy. With 50 beers on tap and several hundred in bottles, this is a hops-lover's paradise.

i'd probably never normally choose to come here -- too sportsy and fratty for me, but sometimes i've gone w/a work group. it's good for happy hour and greasy fried stuff and beer if that's what you're in the mood for. sports fans like it. lots of history.
Pros: happy hour, cheap
Cons: too fratty, greasy food

The Beanery in West Hollywood is a bit of a walk from my workplace but well worth it. They have nearly unlimited choices on the menu, enough so that I could find healthy choices when in the mood. Service is good too, and the beer selection is awesome. During the day, it's pretty easy to get a table. I imagine that's different at night, but I've never been so won't speak to it. The food is prepared in hearty portions and most items are quite good. Surprisingly, even their veggies are tasty. I'd recommend a stop at Barney's for some good stuff.
