Owner

The Redwood is an institution in Los Angeles and being voted into the top 101 best bars of L.A. is no small feat. Downtown L.A. is going thru a renaissance and so is the Redwood. With a change of ownership, the Redwood will be a fresh concept in a vibrant urban setting. The team hired Fred Sutherland, celebrated designer of Forty Deuce and Deep, To bring the right combination of look and feel. The redwood menu will be simple and creative, exactly what Angelinos have been craving. Sign up for our awesome newsletter to stay tuned for our grand opening and specials. Here's to you and the…

In Short – A Miami salvage yard provides the inspiration for this nautical watering hole, with a decor scheme that includes old alcohol barrels doubling as tables, rope ladders, fishnet-lined walls and steering wheel chandeliers. Downtown workers start to file in after 5pm, followed by nearby loft dwellers and their friends from Silver Lake and Echo Park. The kitchen serves up both a lunch and dinner menu, including veggie Ruebens, fried catfish burgers, crab cakes and grilled meats.

Really good food, cheap beer, friendly staff

by sehansen

I had wanted to check out the Redwood for a long time, so one day I went in for lunch on a Saturday. I ended up staying four hours! I had such a great time hanging out with the staff that I'm going there every Saturday now.

The food is very fresh, and it isn't that run-of-the-mill frozen and reheated bar food. Very delicious. I think today I'll try their breakfasts. They're not on the menu yet, but you can still order them. Even the cooks are friendly!

Try the grilled chicken. mmmmm.

But, yeah, this place is definitely more a bar than a restaurant. Come here to drink and eat, not eat and drink if you know what I mean. And to hang out with all the awesome, chill, unpretentious people.

Pros: Friendly, cool staff, fantastic food, chill patrons
Cons: no where for large parties to sit together

A good bar but needs more pirates

by glazz

I had hoped there would be more pirate stuff at this bar but I still had a good time. The drinks are good and I especially like the fish and chips. I just want some more pirate stuff!

Sad place to be

by JoeMerlos

I used to like the Redwood bar, especially for the fish and chips. Until this past saturday, the fish and chips stayed good but the atmosphere and the music was shocking!! I dont know who in their right mind put the entertainment together but the MC a mister "Old White Man" was offensive to say the least. Along with the other "entertainers" as well the only word you heard out of their mouths was either X-rated, or blasphemous or both. From sexually perverted ABCs to describing sexuall fantasies on stage, it was just waaay out of hand. The fact that there were children present did not seem to phase neither the performers or the staff either. What a shame!I will not recommend this place again nor stop by for any reason at all.
