DineLa lunch was great! I had the chicken Parm on linguine and a salad and my friend had impossible burger. But the class of the lunch was a mushroom bisque that was absolutely delicious and I think about it time and time again. The service was excellent and the old decor was very good Indeed and a nice tin roof

The atmosphere is top notch the food is really good. We we’re here for Dine LA week and all of the service called out/off and unfortunately, our service was lacking. We were 6 of 8 guests followed by another party of 6. Our server took our order first, brought our salads. While at the other party they got their drinks and bread basket.

Food, service, and atmosphere were outstanding. Mac n cheese were a perfect blend of ingredients, the blue cheese was mild and not noticeable in the dish. The Philly Cheesesteak was one of the best I’ve ever had. Cocktails were spot on, and the fish n chips hit the spot. What a super cool concept as well, the chance to eat in a fire station! So glad I was introduced to this establishment.

What I liked: The food was tasty.. everything was cooked just right. Live music is a nice touch and creates a fun atmosphere, even on a Sunday afternoon in DTLA. A lot of historic charm here, solid wood, high ceilings, etc.

Good food and service! I really enjoyed my ribs and the calamari. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere. The music playing was at a good volume, not super loud, where people have to yell to hear each other. The servers were very nice, accommodating, and always hustling to attend to their customers.

Met Rick Springfield here, as Los Angeles magazine was celebrating its new space for doing something or other there, lol. They were blasting Ricks music and other 80s music. Lots of fun! Great pub food, the bartenders really knew their stuff and were friendly and attentive.

We arrived on a Tuesday about 1pm. Place was almost empty so there should be no reason for slow service. Party of 7. No to big, not to small. Had to get up to ask them to take our order. Had to get up to ask them for refills on drinks.

This place has stepped up their game and has really delicious food and stunning service. I highly recommend to take a break and enjoy this city stop for lunch. Covid safe outdoor eating is available and everyone wears masks which I really appreciate. Best of it all, they are affordable too. Check them out!
