The Village Idiot

The comfortable pub has been putting out plates of fish & chips , burgers and nightly specials for years, and keeps their open kitchen running at full steam until midnight on weekdays & 1am on weekends Read more

Came 1 Sun AM after finding 1 hr+ wait @ Blue Jam . Lovely atmosphere- pub vibe w/high ceilings & big windows. Ppl nice & good food, but unless you’re on a mimosa only diet, a breakfast for 2, $60 easy

I'm not a fan of the weekend nights here..hipster -- but the brunch & food are great! They have weekend $5 bloody Mary's and $15 bottles of champagne ; you can get peach or raspberry purée for $2 more.

AMAZING for brunch & events . Incredible back room & super accommodating staff . Great selection of beer on tap & plenty of TVs to enjoy English Premier League "football ." Ask the bartenders for recs!

Great place for a chill night out without sacrificing what makes LA, LA. Get the brussle sprouts if they have them! Full bar catered especially to whiskey and beer lovers.

Best place for an English breakfast in town . It's pretty crowded for football (soccer ) matches, but worth the atmosphere.

All of the food was excellent! We shared four entrees during brunch so we could sample the menu. It worked well .

English-pub type feel with a very slick edge to it. I had the cheese sandwich filled up with jalapeno & white beans & arugula - SO GOOD. the breakfast options look pretty fantastic too

2 great seafood choices on the menu: pick the fish & chips for a hearty meal or choose the delectable mussels in tasty broth for a lighter dish. Lots of beers on tap , but I pair w/ Tito's Vodka .

Locals flock here to share a few pints with their mates & dine on classic pub fare, from fish’n’chips to mussels . The nights are packed, making for a lively atmosphere . So grab a barstool & have fun. Read more

Have the Horsefeather cocktail - you won't be disappointed. DELISH! And the lamb meatball sandwish was terrific. And yes, I did write sandWISH!

The mixed beers & Michelada are all amaze. And even though I didn't have time today, every item on the dessert menu = must try.

Excellent bar with amazing food! Pate plate is on point!

The mussels are fantastic. Also, the Ancho Problem spicy margarita is great!

????????????????????❤️ Best British spot in LA. Sunday roasts , snakebites , pie , sports . This place is the dream.

The ambience will attract you, the staff will keep you. Awesome vibe, amazing food, such friendly and fun staff .

Nice outdoor seating , relaxed vibe good cocktails and great beers .

Charred calamari with Persian cucumbers , lime & avocado was outstanding. The Hemingway also a great cocktail if you don't like sweet cocktails .

The back room is a great spot for an afternoon get together. During the NFL season, this spot is quiet on Sundays because they watch real futbol.

If you like beer , don't get the same thing you'd get somewhere else. Try the Idiot beers - they're only $6 and delicious. If you like Pale Ales, get the Racer. If you like garlic , the steamed mussels

"I am a sucker for a good ol’ pub and this is the only one I haunt on Melrose Avenue . There’s nothing better than steamed mussels and fish & chips (or is that just mussels – hmm)."-Curt, Pretty Hurts

Delicious. Everything is perfectly seasoned and the drinks are very well thought out. Bar/kitchen synergy!

Great beers , and the fish and chips was amazing... worthwhile if in Melrose.

Burger with blue cheese was delicious and the panhandler cocktail was excellent.

First time here, it was cool. Waitresses and hostess were really nice. I'll be back for sure :)

Nice atmosphere and kind waiters . Food is great - beer choices are awesome!

Check out the "guest on tap ", just found my new fav, Chainbreaker IPA from Deschutes Brewery in Bend, OR - tastes like summer

All-day soccer-and-drinking destination favored by locals since 2007. Read more

The spinach salad is amazing good with the ginger . Veggie pie is a must. It looks small but very hearty!

Good place for drinks. Didn’t order them, but they had fried Brussels sprouts that sounded interesting!

Warm sticky toffee cake with whipped crème fraiche is melt in your mouth delicious!!!

Food and drinks were on point! Great service as well .

Delicious share plates. The waffle fries are must!

OK, I am a sucker for a good ole pub . And this one is one (or the only one) that I haunt on Melrose Avenue . There’s nothing better then steamed mussels and fish and chips (or is that just mussels –

Corn soup (served cold ) - quite tasty followed by some mussels and Fish and chips ..LA experience at its finest ..

Great atmosphere, good place to hang out with friends, awesome fish and chips…..but the table service sucks!! Seriously, this last time I was in the waitress seemed super inconvenienced ever time we o

Great hangout. Food is delicious. Love the fish and chips

Amazing Saison beer and Brussel sprouts with bacon .

Get your drinks from Erin at the bar , she is one of the best bar slingers around. Good drinks and good food.

Sit at the tables at the end of the bar to watch some of the best chefs in the city .

Love the sunchokes that comes with creamy sour cream condiment (I LOVE condiments) -Francine, The Real L Word

Brussel sprouts in bacon vinagrate sauce is great!

Great place to grab grub and drinks with friends. Won't break the benk and everything is tasty/fresh.

I'm living the old speckled hen . Brings me back to boozing in England. Super smooth!

Try the steamed mussels

Come for brunch ? Have the quiche . It's a small portion but artfully made.

Great for watching sports . And eating poutine .

Steak and potato pie . Just get it and thank me later

15$ for champagne bottles for mimosas during weekend brunch

The booths by the window are great. And the Brussels sprouts are insane.
