Laurel Tavern

I met up here with some friends a couple weeks ago for a girls night out birthday celebration. Very cute little bar. We got there around 7:30 and we sat at a little table inside. There is seating at the bar and also tables inside and a small outdoor area. We had to place out order at the bar and then there was a little confusion about whether they were going to bring the drinks to the table or if we had to go back to the bar. They did bring them to the table along with the appetizers we ordered. I had a Texas Mule which was okay, and then I switched to beer. Try the Scrimshaw pilsner. Very good and smooth.
After about an hour a very friendly waitress started coming around to the tables so we didn't have to go order at the bar anymore. I also had a grilled cheese with tomatoes which was delicious. By about 10:00 the place was getting very crowded and we were all ready to go, as we are all parents and 10:00 is late for us. Lol!
One more thing about the parking situation. It is valet parking for $5. I recommend using uber because it's starts to get a little crazy on Ventura and plus if you're drinking it's probably the best option.

Great little place to hang out for a beer and great burgers and fries. Studio City really needed a place like this!

Laurel Tavern is a small bar with great ambiance, service, and food. The beer selection isn't huge but what they do have is good. It can get crowded to the point of standing room only on Fridays and weekends, but the people are generally friendly and don't mind rubbing elbows.
