What People Are Saying About Cock N Bull British Pub

Featured Review

In Short – This large, bright, no-frills tavern is a longtime local favorite with sports fans, beer aficionados and expatriates. The oak-paneled walls surround a couple of dilapidated pool tables, televisions broadcasting "the match," garish alcohol promotions and the prerequisite dartboard. A small (underused) stage sits in front of a giant mural of John Lennon strumming his guitar. Drinkers pound Stella and Guinness by the pitcher and nosh on authentic pub grub like meat pies and fish and chips. – –

Editor's Tips

Know Before You Go:
No credit cards accepted, and the on-site ATM charges exorbitant fees, so bring plenty of cash.
Parking:
There are plenty of free parking options--a complimentary lot is north of the pub off Lincoln and street meters stop running after 6pm.
When to Go:
Live satellite feeds of European football games are broadcast, some as early as 4:30am, when the joint is packed and rowdy with international fans. Call for schedule.
Happy Hour:
Monday-Friday, 4pm-6pm.

Terrible

by acgoben

The male bartender at this joint actually yelled a few choice words at my girlfriend for sitting down on an empty bar stool that was apparently permanently occupied by another patron who was busy in an another part of the bar. I've never experienced any situation at a bar that even comes close to the way this bartender handled himself.

If you're looking to grab a cheap drink from a hot-headed bartender at a dingy bar that caters to middle-aged British folk, this is the place for you.

GREAT PLACE TO DANCE SALSA!!!!

by SalsaGirl

Believe it or not, this British pub is one of the best places to dance Salsa around on the WestSide!! On Tuesday nights DJs Dario and Nero spin some of the best tunes in LA. There's a nice wooden dance floor, the people are friendly and it's never too crowded. Rather it's cozy and intimate and everyone knows everyone else. And of course, there's Jimmy the friendly bartender. So com'on all you dancers, check this place out!

$10-$20 Cover charge for soccer games that are not on pay-per-view, but are on ESPN!

by rowdyirish

they charge $10-$20 cover charge for things like the Euro Cup final when it is on free television not pay per view, isn't my money for pints and tips enough?

  • Pros: Great Place
  • Cons: Cover Charge!
