All I can say is, this must be the mouth the Hell. They clientele was unattractive, unintelligent, and frankly...just creepy. I had to tell one guy that I cooked meth in my kitchen in order to get him away from me. Terrible, terrible amalgam of the worst Hollywood has to offer. Go elsewhere.
- Pros: reasonable valet parking, i guess?
- Cons: crowd, and everything else
not much honesty in advertising

We went in to Happy Endings to watch a little March Madness. The menu that was posted on the bar said 2 for 1 mimosas between 2pm and 4pm. On the same menu it said salad was $7. But, when the bill came we were surprised to have been charge full price for the 3 drinks and $11 for the salad. The bartender brought the manager over and he stated these were Happy Hour prices and it was "industry standard" that those prices are only good Monday through Friday even though that was not posted on menu. Well, I don't work in the "industry" so unless it is posted I wouldn't know that. I suggested to him that they give the correct pricing on the menu so people know what they are spending...especially in this economy. He comp'd us one mimosa but didn't adjust the salad and on top of that charged us a $1 upcharge for each martini...which also was not printed on the menu. He said the upcharge was charged on all martini's because of the type of glass???? I would have to compare this experience with buying a used car. I felt like I needed a lawyer to complete the transaction. Needless to say I won't be going back there as I like goind places where they aren't shady with their prices.
- Pros: Good Drinks
- Cons: Misleading prices
Do not even bother.

We had such a bad time and the service was horrible. I've been here before for just drinks and even then it wasn't that great, but if you're trying to get food here...don't. The food was bad, the server was not nice, it wasn't a good time. Like I said. Don't bother.
OVERPRICED RIP OFF WHERE NOBODY KNOWS YOUR NAME

New to Los Angeles from New York I was happy to see a New York themed sports bar in walking distance from my new apartment. After going to happy ending about ten times I have finally reached my breaking point.
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.. These people have lost their minds charging Hollywood club prices for drinks at a neighborhood SPORTS BAR. Their ridiculous idea of Happy Hour is offering $10 pitchers of bud and bud light. I'm sorry, why would a pitcher of Bud ever be more than $10? It's usually a generic crowd and no regulars to speak of due to the way the bartenders treat people. I am shocked that the owners of this place are from the East Coast. NO sports bar in New York would ever treat regulars with such lack of hospitality and inflated drink prices. Save your money for Barney's Beanery where the drinks are twice as strong, half as cheap, and Happy Hour actually exists....
- Pros: Walking distance to home
- Cons: complete lack of hospitality, EXTREMELY expensive drinks (club prices)
drink but don't eat!

If you go here, do not - do NOT - order food. It's a fine bar if you're looking for just a bar. Music, booze, people and dancing. Fine. But don't get duped into thinking you should eat there too. The food is inedible. I'm sorry to be so harsh, but we ordered four separate dishes and each one tasted like it had turned. Not just cooked poorly, or poor seasoning choices, but like it was actually spoiled. Beware!
But the bartenders and servers were cute - just don't eat the food!
- Pros: valet parking
- Cons: terrible food
Two words: COREY-OKE!

Every Weds. night, "Corey-oke" plays here -- Corey Hamm, Corey Feldstein & Corey Hardt play live bass, drums and guitar, inviting anyone brave enough to join them on vocals for your favorite 80's song. The bartenders and waitresses here are overworked yet friendly -- they'll keep visiting your table even if it's packed, and they'll even provide your group with seperate checks upon request. The appetizers are good but pricey. Ever so often, the bartender spins a giant wheel to determine the next drink special. Several beer pong tables are available in a back room. The crowd ranges from eastside hipster to westside frat-boy and everything in between. I've seen Mila Kunis, Japanese girls, WeHo pretty boys, and what appeared to be a pack of Camp Pendleton jarheads on leave! S'all good -- come on by and take it all in!
- Pros: COREY-OKE! Friendly staff. Stiff drinks.
- Cons: Crowded, loud, pricey appetizers, hard to get a table if you arrive late
You Will Be Physically Picked Up and Thrown Out

So I went to this place this past weekend. While I was there I admittedly got tipsy, but at no time engaged in any lewd behavior, made no snide comments to anyone, didn't get "loud" or anything; I kept to myself and my friends. While I was on the phone, I was ambushed from behind by to bouncers. They literally picked me up while I was still on phone and started rushing me to the back of the bar. When I asked, "What is going on?" they replied, "Shut the f*** up, you f***ing fa**ot." They then opened the back doors and TOSSED me into the street.
I understand a place trying to maintain a particular girl to guy ratio and to avoid too many out-of-control drunk patrons...but this was just ridiculous. Thus, if you have self respect you might think twice about going to the bar.
- Pros: I was able to buy a drink.
- Cons: The staff was prejudice, disrespectful, and absolutely demeaning.

Karaoke Snobs
by eatryebread

This review is for Monday nights and the karaoke snobs. The blonde (brunette really, saw the roots girly) who "hosts" the night is a stuck up fiend. Her and her friends stroke each other's bruised Hollywood egos by singing (yowling) hits from yesteryear. This karaoke "hostess" cut my song off halfway through, on purpose, because she wanted more time for her posse, who already sang five times each. Zero respect. High School mentality. I truly hope she falls down the stairs in her pleather boots. If the Happy Endings management catches wind of this review, just know you can do way better. I should have snatched my five bucks out of her tip jar. It went to a poor dye job anyway.
- Pros: writing this review
- Cons: the staff is stuck in high school
Worst Poser Sports Bar in L.A.
by crab78

The Happy Ending stinks like an dead trout in an unplugged freezer. Where do I start? Let's start with sports bars. Don't you hate sports bars that know nothing about sports but just have a lot of TVs? That's what this is and the TVs are so g%dd#m loud you'd think you walked into black metal gig at the Knitting Factory. Ridiculous. Note to manager - audio means little in sports, but good conversation over beers and a ball game means a lot.
The other MAJOR TURN OFF was the half assed decor that was something to imply that this was kind of, sort of, might be a Yankees bar. 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.
As far as the everpresent Yankee symbol, you posers, losers and wannabees need to go find an island where you can all pretend to be Chief Dil-doe. Besides the fact that the loser Yankees had a 210 million dollar payroll and still couldn't make the playoffs, you clowns with low self esteem still have to plaster the mark of what you deem a "winner" on yourselves. What a major turnoff.
In a town that has the Trojans, Bruins, Dodgers, Lakers, Clippers and Kings, I don't want to see some half assed NY decor in the middle of Hollywood. You New Yorkers never quit. Your arrogance and insecurities know no bounds
And as for the magical, irreplacable, mystic NY pizza that you can't find in L.A., well, I had it at this place and yes, it was good. And yes, I've had pizza in NY and it's good too but as far as not finding it in L.A. - more hot air from blowhard New Yorkers.
Try Big Wangs on Cahuenga or Champs in Burbank for real sports bars.
- Pros: good tap, decent food
- Cons: too loud, not a real sports bar, no need for more NY stuff here
