Boardner's by La Belle

My experience at Boardner’s in Hollywood didn’t start well. After waiting over 20 minutes for a street parking spot, a man who arrived later tried to take the spot we were waiting for. When we parked, he aggressively confronted us, claiming it was his spot, threatened us with a ticket, and then hit the car behind him while trying to park elsewhere. We were two women and felt very nervous because of his aggressive behavior and threatening looks. To our surprise, he turned out to be one of the security staff, which made the situation even more shocking. After calming down, we went inside and explained the situation to another security guard, Chuy, asking him to watch our car. Later, we saw the same man again acting aggressively toward my partner and told us he can kick us out from the place. So rude. We explained everything to the manager, Keenan, who apologized. Boardner’s is a great place with amazing atmosphere, food, and drinks, but this prior incident ruined our experience. We had planned our day around visiting, but due to this, we won’t be coming back.

Opening at 5pm Boardners has become our local go-to for my husband and I as this was where our first date was. There is such a positive vibe to this place that makes me proud that this is the neighborhood I live in. The staff and patrons are artistic in every different type of cinematic field. Eli, Cat & Keenan are all equally amazing to us and always have been kind, consistent and fun to talk to. And can handle this sometimes very high volume barscape with ease. I recommend the entire menu but tend to ricochet between the steamed dumplings, the angel hair pasta and my favorite salad in town - their Cobb Salad - which happens to have been invented in Hollywood, so its nice that Boardners makes a solid one. Speaking of history, Boardners is that - from the classic Hollywood studio system era onwards this place has served the hard working people of the Motion Picture Industry and you can feel it. There is something special here that makes you want to stay the night, journal, meet new talented friends and enjoy the vibe as it opens up into a busy fun place. A true Actor & Musician hangout ! Every time I'm here I get into awesome conversation with talented and very funny people who are either writing their own content or just performed for the day on a set! The back courtyard is a great place to take guests who visit as it adds to the whole Hollywood vibe and hosts live music some nights and the acoustics are perfection for this.

We had a great night. The drinks were nice and strong. We enjoyed several of their delicious offerings. My friend had a huge burger with fries and she loved it. I had Mac and cheese and pot stickers, which was plenty of food for me. The atmosphere is quiet and calm and the booths are comfortable. This was close to Halloween and they had it decorated nicely.

Boardner's Bar LA It was 10pm when we got there . And had some delicious food , I had tacos . And my brother Wyatt had spilt a sandwich and mozzarella sticks with my mom and he has two delicious cocktails.’ We also all felt some paranormal type feelings when visiting the restroom one after another First my brother felt like he has someone standing above him when he was washing his hands , like someone was up against his back then Mom felt like something was standing over her . Felt something hovering over her when she washed her hands and felt the room feeling tight the air feeling thick Then for me I Felt something run hands up my ankles . Calves and thighs From beneath me Then after i used the restroom and to was washing my hands and felt hands rub up my neck and back of my ear All in the unisex restroom All of us felt the room was thick but don’t let that discourage you from visiting the food is delicious the vibe is cool and gothic and if you have any interest in visiting somewhere with a haunted feel it’s worth a visit. Over all I had a good dinner and I would go back .

As former locals we used to crawl home to our apartment on La Brea after a night of clubbing and inevitable nitecaps at Boardner's...its the safe Hollywood hangout you always wanted!

I usually come here for their Blue Mondays nights, and the venue never disappoints. The two stages and the bar you can sometimes sneak into each have their own distinct vibe. The music inside is always great, and the outdoor sets change every week. The only downsides are the bouncers, who always seem a bit irritated, and the fact that I once had my phone stolen from my pocket here — something I’ve heard continues to be a problem. Still, it’s a solid spot overall. Just remember to bring cash for the entry.

I’ve gone to this place one other time and after this being my second time NEVER AGAIN! Security is brutally disgusting and rude. We were in line to pay and the tall white guy with a beanie and a bearer smacked my back I a woman to tell us to move into a line when we’re waiting for our party to arrive. He could have easily vocalized saying excuse me but he had no manners. Then I went into this place where the speakeasy/bar is in to make line for the restroom and the same guy as he had the same stature as from earlier in line, when telling me to move over stops one palm then the other palm over my boobs and makes his hands move over like signaling to scoot but he was so near my chest area that made me so uncomfortable because by a split inch was near touching my private area (chest) and he looked at my boobs almost like testing to see if he could get away with it. I as a woman it makes me feel uncomfortable because just cause you’re in this area of LA and they assume you would consume alcohol they think they can get away with such behaviors. Honestly truly NEVER GOING BACK.so beware it is LA and these weirdos are working for most clubs/bads.

was having a good time until one of my friends accidentally left his phone in here and the staff wouldn’t return it or much less look for it or let us look for it ourselves even after the event was over. called people a ton of times and none of them helped us. told us to call JESSICA, did that and she got angry and told us she couldn’t help . if you wanna come here just know the staff is ain’t gonna help you with ish! 😭 it’s been almost a week and not one effort or news about the phone
