First things first. This isn't the kind of bar where you can just waltz in at any hour of the night and expect fast service and no crowd. No, this is L.A. County's landmark gastropub (tiny as it is) where foodies, beer connoisseurs (and sometimes smug scenesters) from near and far wait in ridiculously long lines in hopes of getting a spot at one of the tables crammed inside. The plain hardwood walls and tile floors make the place as loud as a high school cafeteria, even on the rare occasion when there aren't many people around. The house offers a seasonally rotating selection of 36 "craft"…

Fathers Office 2nd Best Local Burger near the beach
by Coffeenow at Citysearch
I have been a Fathers Office Burger fan for years however, I have recently discovered LA's NEW BEST BURGER at Joni's Coffee Roaster Cafe in Marina del Rey. It's called "THE RODFATHER BURGER"....A Whipped Horseradish burger on a warmed homemade pretzel bun. This is a must and the word is spreading fast.....
- Pros: Great Vibe
- Cons: Too Crowded

My father's legal office has better taste.
by subjectiveone at Citysearch
After reading all the hype on Father's Office, and being a beer and burger lover, naturally I had to make an appointment. I rode my bike and was eager to drink a beer ASAP when I got there. I didn't realize I was in for a 20 minute debate between bartenders as to which beer they thought I would like best. I love knowledgeable people and I respect their opinions however, while I was sitting thirsty and ready for a cool beer to quench my thirst...I never thought I'd cry out for a Bud Light just to shut the bartenders up!
It was as if showing off their Beer philosophies was more important than actually serving the beer. Now it's not just the Great Beer Debate that made my visit less than enjoyable, I felt like a pod person when I asked for Ketchup!! The lady looked at me as if there weren't a burger and a plate in fries in front of me. They DON'T HAVE KETCHUP??!
As for the Burger...you better like it because there is only one option and it doesn't come with ketchup or mustard.
I have many a burgers and many a beers. 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.
- Pros: Large Selection of Beers
- Cons: Horrible service, little food selection, and OVER-RATED!
