Father's Office rocks, it's always packed and has a great buzz but there is always room in the new spacious location, and the owner is a famous chef not just some bar guy, so his specials are the best in town, and no tax, what a deal. ”

it can be hours of fun in a friendly atmosphere. ”

Great food and atmosphere spoiled by terrible customer service ”

they have a really nice peach cidar and hazelnut beer which have become the usual when coming here! ”

At $12 bucks a pop and around $6-8 for a beer, this isn't a cheap meal, but if you're craving a good burger or are taking a friend out from out of town, this is a great place. ”
- “
The barstaff are very helpful and will give samples of beers to inexperienced drinkers, too. ”

But it's because this place has the best beer selection and the best food I've ever tasted in a bar in my life. ”

Overall this place is the best beer bar I've found in SoCal. ”
- “
Worst burger ever, and longest lines, rudest staff, horrible beers on draft. ”

The downside is that you have to wait in line to get in, so you can't have one of their great beers or a glass of wine while you are waiting (wine list isn't bad, not a full bar). ”

also love that they have my favorite beer (Hitachino White Nest Ale) as well as a good selection of other white ales here, a rarity in L.A. ”

Lots of good beers. ”

I'm not a huge beer drinker, but the bartender helped me choose one I've never even heard of (and can't remember the name) and it was delicious! ”
- “
Just go and sit at the bar and enjoy the outstanding beer and food. ”

The bar is way in the back and they make you get up and order each beer individually and buss it back yourself, which is annoying, due to the cramped-ness of the place, but their beer selection is good enough to allow them to make any rules they want. ”
- “
Just bar food but it is GREAT bar food ”

It's all been said here: the beer selection rewards more sophisticated swillers and the burgers (in the one variety they offer) are terrific. ”

It was one of the best meals I've had; great beer, great food, and great company. ”

The burgers and fries are undeniably good and the beer and wine selection will appease anyone. ”

Interesting thing is that you go to the bar to order your drinks and food. ”

The drinks are good. ”

Also, seeing as how their beer is actually interesting and well-selected (and therefore does not come by the yard), I'm sure some people would be opposed to the "small portions. ”
- “
since i was born and raised in LA i've visited a plethora of burger joints and Father's Office is the absolute best, bar none. ”

The MAJOR strength of this bar is the fact that they, unlike so many bars in SoCal, realize that some of the best beers are found right here on the West Coast. ”

Meanwhile the bar/restaurant was not full! ”

love knowledgeable people and I respect their opinions however, while I was sitting thirsty and ready for a cool beer to quench my thirst. ”

Excellent beer collection for the connoisseur, and also FOOD for the connoisseur. ”

Mix in an amazing offering of draft beers from all over the world and you have a memorable lunch or casual dinner. ”

DON'T GO , EVER, ( and maybe that way I can find a seat for myself to have some awesome beers and the best burger. ”

Overrated burgers, great beer ”

I'd say if you are looking for great food, great beer, and a fun ambience- forget the office and head to Santa Monica's Library Alehouse. ”

Great beer selection and a nice after work crowd, too. ”

Neither of the bartenders could provide a decent pour (and let's face it, when your beer costs >$8 it would be nice to get more than 2/3 of a small glass) and the service was next to nonexistant. What service there was bordered on rude. The beer is extrem ”

If you just have to try the place I suggest getting an overpriced beer and an order of $6.50 sweet potato fries and see if you can get that far. ”

Good crowd of 20-30somethings who appreciate good beer. ”

The burger was very good, as were the fries and the bartenders recommendation of beers. ”
- “
If you like to just sit at a bar and be ignored, if you like to die of thirst w/an empty beer glass in front of you and an open tab, if you like to order a $12 burger w/$2.50 fries and get a bill for $27 ”

If the service were as good as the food I would give it 6 stars! ”

My favorite burger ”
