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! ”
- “
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. ”

Love to go to the clubs now and then but still want a watering hole where you can go in jeans and a t-shirt, throw back some beers and cocktails and listen to some solid tunes amongst a great crowd. ”
- “
the bar was cool and semi mellow, however, if you arent a sports bar, why is every TV on sports? ”
- “
do not recommend this bar, especially not on a Saturday night. ”
- “
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. ”
- “
They have really outdone themselves with their food, the atmosphere is fun and relaxed and they have great drink specials all night long. ”
- “
If you don't realize that The Happy Ending is the most amazing and enthusiastic bar Hollywood has seen, then you deserve to suffer through the lines and bullsh*t at Le Deux. ”
- “
The wheel of drink specials are great fun and value. ”
- “
Great food / great bar! ”
- “
The food was fabulous, the drinks were priced well and they were constantly spinning their drink wheel (you should see it!) ”

The menu is too expensive for a sports bar although it is pretty GOOD. ”
- “
My new favorite bar! ”
- “
I've been wanting a place in Hollywood where I can go and get good food, fun atmoshpere & a cold beer. ”

This place has one of the best menus for a sports bar that I have seen on the west coast hands down. ”

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

Note to manager - audio means little in sports, but good conversation over beers and a ball game means a lot. ”
- “
The menu is pretty good considering it is a sports bar. ”
- “
It was definitely more mellow but the food, service, drinks and prices were all great. ”

When you go to a sports bar you want to see a great variety of teams, sports, athletes etc, not some gift shop BS of subway signs. ”

Anyway, I liked this bar so much I went back to watch a college basketball game the next week. ”
- “
Apparently, that main rude bouncer was not only head doorman, but manager of the whole bar. ”
- “
Oh yeah - offer some reasonable bar food. ”
- “
great drinks and all at a pretty affordable and justifiable price. ”
- “
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. ”
- “
Get rid of these morons that want to "PLAY" manager and rehire a good waitstaff and bar staff so that the front of the house wont ruin a good thing! ”
- “
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. ”
- “
good drinks and appetitzers and GREAT corey-oke band ”
- “
They have a big roulette wheel which was hot because the drinks were really cheap for an hour or so. ”
- “
Great bar food! ”
- “
and the place feels like a cool dive bar, but we loved that. ”
- “
What A great bar! ”
- “
Really great layout/concept for the bar. ”

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. ”

Bad customer service, cold food, average food ”

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. ”

like the whole experience of dining out so for me, good food isn't enough. ”

sometimes you are not going to get perfect service or everything to be 100%, but the overall experience with all of the TV's and the cool music and crowd is more than enough to keep coming back. ”

my waitress was nice. ”

The music was good, the crowd was 90% male, the servers were attractive, and the bouncers were bored and over-zealous (everywhere we stood was unsafe, according to them). ”

People are also really friendly here. ”

Yet its run by a bunch of donkeys and a management staff that in all fairness,is about as knowledgeable as Hellen Keller in a spelling bee! ”

staff acted like they hated management, and for good reason, there was a big dumb looking manager type yelling at one of the red pant suit wearing waitresses. ”

However the service completely sucked. ”

The food was bad, the server was not nice, it wasn't a good time. ”
