The doorman was rude, and the female bartenders upstairs kept skipping me to fill drinks for guys and flirt for tips to the point where it took 30 minutes to get a single drink. ”

Really great layout/concept for the bar. ”
- “
It had a great crowd, good music and the pizza was the best I've had in L.A. I thought it would take forever to get a drink considering how many people were in there, but they had like 8 guys behind the bar waiting to take orders. ”
- “
best new bar in Hollywood ”

Not one bartender recognizes us ever, we are charged for every single drink that we order every time we go and for Happy Ending that means $40 for a tiny glass of vodka and soda and two Jagerbombs. ”

For being a bar in Hollywood, the food is amazing! ”

When i walk into a sports bar,I usualy want chicken wings and a Stella,but that takes too long at"The Happy Ending ”

Happy Endings is going to have to rely on people getting drunk at the bar and staring at the servers short shorts, cause everything else is a disappointment. ”
- “
As a former bar manager maybe I am a little tougher than most but this place is honestly the worst bar I have been to in Hollywood - and that is saying a lot. ”

Apparently, that main rude bouncer was not only head doorman, but manager of the whole bar. ”

shouldnt have to eat my food at the bar next to dirty plates that were left for about 40 minutes while this clueless bartender talked to her friend the whole time! ”
