GYM Bar WeHo

Ordered the signature burger and fish and chips through Grubhub takeout The signature burger lists as having aged cheddar, bacon, onion ring, etc. but the burger I got was without the signature ingredients. In addition, the burger bun and patty were both way over cooked. Portion sizes were solid. I initially thought it was just a Grubhub mixup but their own online menu also lists the same description. Service seemed nice but there was confusion around the order status. They initially said they did have a Grubhub order to no they don’t have an order to yes they just got the order. I did order later in the evening.

I'm not really a bar person but I really enjoyed this place. Staff was nice, music was diverse and it wasn't too loud, nachos and french fries tasted amazing.

Love this place! Wanted some food and to watch some Australian Open tennis. Had a fresh Cesar Salad with grilled chicken. The presentation was beautiful. Tasted great. Attentive bartender. Great crowd with some “eye candy”. Definitely going back! 💪🏻

Another staple of the WeHo gay scene this one has a sports bar twist. Lots of screens and casual seating with a friendly crowd. Not as loud or clubby so it’s good for relaxed nights out but still in the heart of the nightlife strip.

Prob one of the best veggie burgers I've had in a long while. The impossible patty is thick n juicy and it is cooked on a separate skillet than the other foods. On Monday's the burgers are only $11! 😁 Cute spot for the gays to gather casually.

A fun and friendly bar! There are flags all over representing dozens and dozens of teams across multiple sports - including my favorite team, the Oklahoma State Cowboys - along with different games on nine TVs, making this feel like the true Sports Bar it is. Nightly food and drink specials are priced great. I had the $2 hot dogs on Thursday night, which were long, plump, and tasty. The service is quick, the staff and crowd are super friendly, and the mix of patrons is very diverse. You will run into to folks like yourself here.

Very pleased as a WeHo local that Gym Sportsbar is back! Visited with my friend and we were very impressed with the service and drinks. We had to show our vaccine card at the door which I like because you feel safer at a bar with lots of people when you know they are all vaccinated. The space is pretty big and has a nice outdoor area you can chill at. The staff are very friendly and we got some really cheap $7 drinks at the bar. Will definitely be coming back!

Best sports bar in West Hollywood. It seems to attract a lot of locals who know each other and everybody seems really friendly, unlike most of the other bars. If you’re single, it is a great place to mingle.

The vibe is bright, fun and exciting. This little place gets crowded fast so it's loud but such a great atmosphere for a fun time which is the point of going to a bar. It's definitely a dive and most definitely a vibe. I joined my LGBTQIA kickball team here after our game a few Saturdays and to be honest we were the crowd and we were loud and strong. We definitely bring the fun. Be is great, alcoholic smoothies and are refreshing. I ordered a caesar salad which was fresh, crisp and hit the spot. If you're looking for a fun place to hangout in WEHO I definitely recommend GYM Bar any hour of the day. But be warned, it gets crowded and loud quickly.

Went to have drinks with family yesterday Monday 11/4/24 we walked into this bar and got Nothing but an attitude by the woman bartending while she talked crap about myself and the two people I was with to her rude friends. I can not believe how rude she was. We were very nice And just wanted a bite to eat with drink. I don't live far from this location but will Never take my family, friends or anyone I know to This bar. I hope she is removed from her position and finds a job in a warehouse where no one can see her so she doesn't have a chance to give bad customer service. She should be ashamed of herself for talking about people when she has NO ROOM to be talking about anyone. Please do not take him business to this establishment until she is removed!

If you're a sports fan this is the bar for you. Plenty of TVs to watch multiple games and I felt like they had every sport on that day. We ordered our food at the bar and then it was brought to our table. I would definitely go back for that burger and the tator tots were so good. That's the kind of easy, well made bar food that I look forward to. Bartenders were really nice and I loved that they have a water station for you to get a glass whenever you need.

You'd think with a name like Gym Sportsbar that Jamie W. and I would pooh-pooh such a jock-centric place. Well, we were three bars into our night of debauchery in WeHo, and we didn't think we had enough energy for the gigantic margaritas at Fiesta Cantina. We sauntered a bit more on Santa Monica Blvd. OK, 'staggered' might be the more appropriate term. Anyway, we noticed this bar was relatively empty compared to the other bars. Not sure why, but to our cumulative delight, they had three slushie machines in operation with three alluring flavors - Cherry Cosmo, Frozen Margarita, and our inevitable go-to Pina Colada. For $9, the Pina Colada Slushie was the perfect ending to our wily WeHo night (photo: https://yelp.to/TZyAih360p). The place was finally starting to fill. Half the screens were showing an NBA game, and the other half "Girls Trip". Jamie and I were frankly too busy staring at the meat parade passing by. Some were quite well marbled. DRINKS - 4 stars...slushies with a kick make us lushies AMBIANCE - 4 stars...good size place with plenty of screens SERVICE - 4 stars...glasses were overflowing with delight TOTAL - 4 stars...did this count as a gym visit? RELATED - Exploring WeHo? Here's a collection of places I've visited and reviewed: https://bit.ly/3TBgdOP

It's been so long since I popped into Gym Sportsbar & Grill aka Gym Bar... So much so that this new location (only a short stroll down from the original) now on the corner of Hilldale/Santa Monica Blvd just west of Heart Nightclub (formerly Rage) and the light at San Vincente Blvd /Santa Monica Blvd have their forever meet cute. Gym Bar is 100% a Sportsbar with my kind of Happy Hour and Happy Hour specials including a buy one get one deal. You'll get a Gym Sportsbar poker chip for your second beverage you can redeem after the first before 8PM. If you're unable to make their H.H.... don't fret they have great deals/specials all week and weekend long... Not to mention drag shows, karaoke nights (like Monday's with Ben and Jen) and game days frequently! The space is pretty intimate, so if you're unable to find a seat, you'll definitely find a new friend to stand by who might even kindly offer their seat. Darts and Beer Bong set up, inquiry within. Make sure you have your ID ready at the door with security, super cool (and easy on the eyes). All the bartenders are lovely and ones along with the bar itself I'd come back to support. They have locations in New York and Fort Lauderdale I'd be curious to checkout. Really glad this safe space is back and going strong for the LA sports fans, sports fans adjacent, and my lgbtqia+ community as well our allies. Go Bruins!! Go Angels! Go team Go!!

Strong drinks and a good time. I was visiting from Nyc and looking for a fun vibe for a Tuesday night and Gym Bar was it

Tried this place on a whim as I was walking by. Love their menu! I got the old bay and lemon pepper wings. They even offer all flats, but I forgot to order that until the end. They're truffle Parmesan. Fries are interesting. They are thick cut with more of a powder consistency oppose to grated Parmesan, but this is a bar not a restaurant so I get it. Flavor was there and they have lots of sauces (ranch and hot sauce). The veggies on the side that they came with was delicious and reminded me of Wingstop. I really enjoyed it. Parking is parking here and I had to park a block down but that is OK and expected in Hollywood. The place was huge, bathroom was clean and server was nice.

The short bald bartender totally under pours shots! I said those shots are pretty weak, he's all- you can order a double. So that would then be $50+ for 2 doubles. Then he pulls the short shots from me and then would have to pour those out! Brilliant. Won't be back. Go to Mother Lode or Trunks for a decent pour!

I have so much fun at GymBar. It's one of the best bars to meet up with your friends have a drink and have good times. I go a few times a month. I was there the other night. It was a friends Birthday. He turned 45 and he wanted to have his Party at GymBar. It was a blast.

The bartender was super friendly and explained the happy hour limitations. The customer at the bar was really polite. We grabbed a drink at sat on the patio to enjoy the 72 degree weather in California.

Fun place to watch college baseball games along with Dodgers, etc. 2 for 1 drinks that are strong and reasonably priced. Also good bar food. Aubrey and Tony are great guys and it's dog friendly! Definitely recommend this place.

Omg this place is so fun. My fiancé and I came here to celebrate our engagement and we played on the beer pong table for hours. Sports playing, and the owner is so sweet. Not to mention the Cajun fries are ADDICTIVE. So good, ready to come back already

Very unimpressed. The bars posted closing time is wrong. The bartender served me a drink at 1:20 and then we were all kicked out by the bouncer at 1:30.

Terrible & racist bouncer. Only reason I'm giving 1 out of 5 stars is because the bartender gave us more alcohol than he should've. Oh yeah did I forget to mention that two of my friends got their personal belongings stolen? One had her phone stolen from her purse and the one had her whole wallet stolen. When we asked the people working if they could check the cctv they rudely told us to go across the street to file a report at the sheriffs office while they laughed in our face. I don't doubt that it was one of the employees who stole it. 0/5 stars if I could.

Security has a hard on thinking they run the business. They wouldn't even let me take out cups of water for my drunk friends.

Great happy hour with stiff drinks. Friendly and always a bit of a crowd. A local hangout.

This bar has the best happy hour specials (which are becoming harder and harder to find). The staff and clientele are friendly. It's such a laid back vibe compared to a lot of bars in West Hollywood. Don't skip the fried cheese curds - they are delicious.

Horrible experience. Hey bartender. Dude near the door. This was memorable. Yeah? Lmk if I can't close out because..... you left. And took my cc. Thanks! I'll be back because I think it might be a learning lesson for you to learn in the month of #pride what it's like to ask. Ask. Ask. Ask. Ask politely and get zero acknowledgment, consideration or hospitality.

Having just visited the gym sports bar outside of Ft Lauderdale I really needed to try the Gym in West Hollywood. If only you could drink beers and earn exercise credits. The Gym Bar is chill and a good place to hang out with the gurls for a beer or two. There is an outside and inside area so you can enjoy both. This is a better beer than cocktail place and decent for people watching.

I'm in love with this place Best bloody Mary ever plus service and quality is priceless plus all the bartenders are amazing with big smiles and a fantastic sense of humor I will be coming back for karaoke Thank you for great service

I totally went to the gym last night...and I stayed for at least a few hours. OMG...i've been to the office before...but the GYM?!!? ha! need this in SD We grabbed a drink or few before our dinner reservations...and just by chance it was also HH here...2 for 1 drinks...buy 1 and get a token to use for your next drink. woot woot! friendly bartenders attractive people good selection of beverages... great neighborhood... loved it!

There is a short dude that works there that has a tattoo behind his ear. Tried ordering one drink from him, dude has a massive attitude like he hates life. Gave me attitude before I could even order and tell him what I wanted. Moved over to his sweet little buddies and chi chatted and served their needs and several other bartenders, before circling the whole bar and asking me what i want again. Relax dude. You work at a gay bar. It pays to be nice and if you hate your job. I can help you find another, I am nice! Maybe he was having a bad day. Who knows. But it's no excuse for being rude and an disrespectful. Peace out loser.

Perfection doesn't describe this place. The Bartenders can serve up a stiff drink and carry a smile throughout every visit!! Stop in on Wednesdays during happy hour (3-9) (tell him Cortez sent you!!) the bartender Jeff is not only a hot peice of Man Meat but one of the coolest dudes in West Hollywood, be prepared to laugh and get drunken. Thanks Gym Bar Staff for excellence!!! Lee Cortez McGowan

Came here after The Hudson. It was a good and fun crowd. Grabbed a couple beers and an Irish Car Bomb. Nice outside area where you can people watch and look at all the hotties (or hot messes) walking the streets of Santa Monica Blvd. Oh- and the barback had a nice ass. Haha ;)

I'm just not sure. Good music though. Generally...Its just not fun. I wanna go home. Drink tastes like water.

There was a bartender there, very tall, older and built... must've been about 90 years old. Obviously doesn't want to bartend anymore (who can blame him?). Terribly rude and snarky. I came to see the VMA's on Sunday, practically rolled his eyes at me when I asked if they were playing it "on time" as opposed to on "central time". This was my first time at the Gym Bar, I doubt I'll return willingly, unless friends decide to meet there beforehand, etc. However, my friends aren't the gym rat, juiced, "I wanna be straight" beer-drinking types (thank God). I abhor the hetero-normalcy gay men in West Hollywood adhere too, and I in fact rather bask in the effeminacy of our culture as a good, differentiating and POSITIVE thing. The dominant male conformist energy has oppressed creativity, religion, and native cultures for thousands of years in Western society. This hetero- norm- conformist sort of establishment has never been my cup o' tea... however, Sunday's experience has galvanized what was at first only a hunch.

Came here on a Monday night which was karaoke night and I had a great time. Daily happy hour from 4 to 9pm and on Monday's all drinks from the menu are $7.50. They have two dart machines that I played all night singing along to the karaoke. This is a great sports bar that has a very chill vibe to it and not too expensive drinks. Great little escape from the main gay bars in weho Ps. Their bathroom is perfect for making out.

Where to start... I've been going to Gym Bar regularly for a year. I initially went for the great happy hour, play darts and came back ever since for the atmosphere. It's hard to describe an atmosphere, thought I'd say that the staff and the regulars make it so welcoming and friendly. I've made some great connections there and other patrons will very often say hi and chat. Overall, everyone there is usually very approachable and friendly and that is why I keep coming back. Thank you Gym Bar!

I've been coming to Gym Sportsbar for years. I think since 2013 or so. It's the home bar and place to be after a Saturday or Sunday kickball game with Varsity Gay League. The staff is always full of familiar faces and the service has been stellar with a quick turnaround on drink orders. It can get a little crowded during big weekends like Pride or Halloween, but because of its location is a recommend to get into with less crowds.

The drinks are really good and they are definitely are not light on the alcohol. Best place in west hollywood to get really cheap drinks that are not watered down. We went for happy hour and got 2 drinks for $11.00. Can't beat the price. Only thing is it's very Male dominated. They could maybe advertise to more women to get a mixture crowd.

this is the type of the bar I would like to go when I am in WeHo. no gogo boys, some bar games, nice bar tenders, good for conversation, decent priced drink, burger next door. nice happy hour. I will bring my friends over next time!

I live in wilton manors and we have a gym bar there which I love and on this business trip I was so happy to see they had one there with the same great welcome and drinks. It was like home from home. Great space with indoor and outdoor and great happy hour prices.

I really liked this place! Had never heard of it before, but I tagged along with some friends for their dodgeball team's after-party. Apparently, just about every night has a theme, and Tuesdays are when the bar is taken over by the dodgeball leaguers and flip cup games. Lots of men celebrating with beer, excitement, entertaining team shirts, and PE-style shorts. First of all, the drinks are CHEAP, as in $11 pitchers of beer, $3 beers, and $4 well drinks. When someone tells you prices like that in LA, you almost have to wonder if you heard them correctly. Everyone was super friendly and outgoing, including the patrons and the staff. I didn't try the food, but the patio was great for people-watching and seemed perfect on a summer night for either a loud flip cup match or just chillin What I liked most was that it didn't take itself too seriously.... very laid back atmosphere, such as when there was a need for another flip cup table, staff simply brought out a folding table and placed it in the middle of the patio. No one seemed to mind the spontaneous team cheers or lively atmosphere. I'll definitely be back on a Tuesday but would like to check out the other days too.... any place with a Bruin-themed night automatically gets an extra star from me.

Definitely one of my favorite bars in the area, hands down. The drinks are strong and not expensive at all. They have the best happy hour where you can buy one get one free, OR you can buy one and get a token for a free drink later. Pretty awesome deal. The bartenders are also super friendly, social, always smiling and having fun, and make you feel welcome. Great spot to watch games too.

I was a regular customer since 2014, but on a recent visit one of the bartenders, James, tried to pressure me into buying a drink, threathening to kick me out if I didn't buy one "within 5 minutes" and telling me that "we're a business and we're here to make money." I had stopped in for a few minutes on the way back to my car to listen to the karoake and watch the game on a Monday, when the place was nearly empty. Shortly after I arrived, James came over and very condescendingly told me that I had to buy a drink within 5 minutes or he would ask me to leave. He said, "I let you sit here for 30 minutes and we're a business and we're here to make money." His attitude was rude and condescending, like he was talking to a homeless person. I had been to Gym Bar numerous times, and one of the owners, Jesse, has always had friendly conversations with me, as has another bartender, Giovanni, and his partner. During the gay pride, the doorman didn't charge me cover because he "liked the way I looked." So, I was surprised to be threatened with being kicked out if I didn't buy a drink within 5 minutes. During my 5 minute "grace period," I messaged the co-owner, Jesse, and asked him, "What's your bar's policy on requiring someone to buy a drink in order to sit in the bar? Because one of your employees, James, said that I had to buy a drink within 5 minutes or leave. Do you kick guys out if they are here watching a game on tv without drinking." Before Jesse replied, James came back over and said, "Ok, time for you to leave, I gave you five extra minutes!" I replied that I had messaged Jesse and was waiting to hear what the policy was, and told James that he should not be pressuring customers to buy drinks while they're here watching the game or the karoake. After I told him that I had messaged one of the owners, his attitude changed and he said, "Oh, I didn't know you were watching the game, and I've just never seen you here before. I'm just doing what I was told to do, so I'll wait to hear from Jesse and he can reprimand me if I was out of line." So his attitude went from acting like he was evicting some homeless squatter to actually speaking to a customer, but if he had any customer service skills to begin with, he would've been polite and courteous from the start. I left shortly thereafter and then received a reply from Jesse to my inquiry: "Yes, we do [kick customers out if they aren't drinking]. I've told my guys if someone is just hanging out and not drinking, to ask them to leave. We get a lot of looky-loos, and have found it keeps the bar a bit more wholesome. Not saying you're one, but there can be a lot of creeps that come in just to use the bathroom or not sit out on the street. This policy helps us avoid having those kinds of people in the bar." I replied that I understand that, but it should be obvious that I'm not a homeless person or "creep" coming in just to "not sit out on the street." Threatening to kick guys out if they don't buy drinks within 5 minutes is just bad customer service, says that the bar is desperate for every little possible bit of money, and is disrespectful of the bar's role in the gay community as a place to socialize and meet people without being pressured into buying alcohol all the time. Sometimes I drink, sometimes I don't. I don't need a bartender telling me when I should drink or forcing me to buy a drink. Moreover, there were other customers who weren't drinking, who were watching the game, singing or watching karoake, or just socializing. In fact, there was a crazy looking old black guy with dreadlocks who actually did look homeless, drunkenly singing a karoake rap song that was full of expletives and nasty lyrics, and he wasn't asked to leave. How is that "wholesome"? Just because a bartender "has never seen me here before" doesn't mean it's appropriate to tell me to buy or leave, especially in a condescending tone as if he were talking to a homeless person. If keeping "creeps" and homeless people out is the goal behind their policy, then telling someone that looks like me (basically the closest thing to an athlete or jock that this "sports bar" is ever going to see) to "buy or leave" isn't going to accomplish that policy goal. If the goal is to make money, by forcing every single last customer to buy a drink, then that's just going to anger and alienate customers, who won't return and won't bring others there either. It's cheap, greedy, and parasitic to try to force even the 0.1% of customers who don't have a drink in-hand to buy something or kick them out. To top it off, instead of just apologizing, telling me that I'm a valued customer, and that he would educate his staff on how to politely and reasonably implement their policies, Jesse tried to justify his bartender's actions and make up excuses, then told me that if I wanted to "discuss this further" to email him and set up a meeting. Then he blocked me on Scruff. LOL! No time for that. I just won't ever go back.

How can you not love a cozy gay sports bar with tons of screens, an active crowd, 2for1 drinks, and half naked hot bartenders. Reco: change the windows so they open all the way and let the patio peeps watch.

I ordered a club soda. they charged me $3.50. i repeat: i ordered a club soda. they charged me $3.50. are you out of your fucking minds.

This place is amazing, the staff is the best, and if you had a bad experience, you probably did something stupid in the first place.

Nice chill atmosphere with a nice patio for people watching and there's restaurants nearby to bring food in if you're hungry. Servers are friendly and helpful. There are dartboards, TVs, and good music .

The best part of this bar is its name and its proximity to my gym (24 hr fitness) Somehow, it makes me feel better about myself " Im going to the gym, and after that im stopping by the gym" Yep..denial is a mofo. This place is cool. Not your dancing joint which is why I like it. The servers are nice and the people are usually guys like me that just got done working out and want to reclaim all (and more) the calories they burnt. Happy hour is great. 2x1. Cant beat that! Good beer selection and ambiance. Sometimes it can get a little over packed, but it's weho...hello???!!!!! Other cool fact is that because it's in the heart of weho there are tons of restaurants, and other bars around making it a cool pit stop for some inexpensive beers. Did I mention that right next to it theres a Five Guys? YAAAAAAAASSSSSSSS.

Eh just ok. Waiters are great, but bar is simple and can get crowded right away. I went here with couple of friends during their 2 for 1 drinks, which was pretty good. There are a few bars a block away though that offer the same deal, so no biggie here.

The Happy Hour is hard to beat. They have two: 4-8pm and 10:30-close. Drinks are 2-for-1. My only complaint about Happy Hour is you can't order your two drinks at once. You order one and get a chip that entitles you to another drink. Slightly inconvenient for those of us accustomed to ordering drinks by the dozen, but worth it for the price. The drinks are typical for a sports bar. They have a full bar but it's not a temple of Mixology. I wouldn't order a Hendricks gin martini with three olives here. Stick to beer and simple cocktails (which are strong) and you'll be fine. Most Tuesday nights this place is completely packed with people from the WeHo dodgeball league. If you want to play pool, throw darts, or breathe freely avoid Tuesdays. If "accidentally" bumping into sweaty dudes in gym clothes is your idea of a fun time this is your place to be. Why pay the guy at Micky's a dollar when you can feel up packages at Gym for free? Most other nights it's not terribly crowded and getting the pool table isn't difficult. The atmosphere is mellow, and you can walk in looking like a slob with little to no judgmental scowl, unlike most of its nearby gay bar brethren.

4$ vodka drinks during happy hour - Check. A open inviting space with high ceilings that doesnt make me feel like i am sitting in a box - Check. A super nice bar tender that tells you he would charge happy hour price, even though you are like 8 or 10minutes early - Check. and the same super nice bartender filling my vodka drink with more vodka than ice and soda - check. (might not have been the best of the idea at that time!) Not so showy hippy crowd at the bar - Check. and them Playing Adele right when I walked in - double check!! There is nothing I didnt like about this place, and its like few blocks from all the craziness in WEHO, and I am definitely keeping them on my list of places i like!

*cool place *small *inside can get crowded and if it does..it becomes a sauna ! *the workers had to keep mopping up water that was all over the floor (idk if a pipe busted but it was gross) *pool table (only usable when its not crowded) *outside patio *bartenders are cool and fast *able to watch sporting events

Love the atmosphere here! Bar manager and bartenders are THE best. Just a great crowd. Love Giovanni and his entire crew. They make the best drinks and everyone feels like a part of the family here!

Gym Bar is easily the most approachable bar in West Hollywood. A true neighborhood spot: low-key, come as you are, always friendly people - none of the scene you get at some of the more well-known gay bars along the boulevard. The happy hour 2-for-1 is a big perk (keep the tokens for your next visit, or use them all before 9pm), and if you get there after weekend kickball or weeknight dodgeball leagues, you'll get to mingle with the very fun/social recreational sports crowd.

Beer was sour, and prices were different than listed. Came to watch a playoff game but it's not really a place for that. Security acts entitled...

In spurts of neon that fire up the boulevard, GYM has long been a symbol of where the gay party scene in WeHo begins. Glaring rainbow flags wave out front; they foreshadow the motif of flapping stripes hanging from storefronts to come. At the edge of artsy, trendy shops, GYM boldly stands like the pearly gates to WeHo. May the fun begin. Though GYM itself is intimate, the space is maximized; the crafty use of square footage here doesn't cramp as much as it allows for proximity. Seven TVs line up sloppily along the walls like "dogs playing poker" masterpieces hung in a bachelor pad. Dart boards in the front and towards the back of the venue add a nice touch, as they engage and amuse groups of patrons. The bartender who served my beau and I was a tall, dimple-cheeked lad in an action hero retro tee, and he himself was as lively as GYM's atmosphere. Strong Island Iced Teas were served up for only $10 each, a bargain if you consider that each drink packed the inebriation power of two. On one hand, GYM is two blocks from all the craziness down at the strip of bars. On the other hand, GYM is the perfect bar because it infuses an unvarnished, East Hollywood reminiscent social scene into an area where so much glam and pretension exist. GYM is a gay bar, yes, but it doesn't flaunt that fact as its sole selling point, like Rage does. (Ok, minus the flying flags out front. Barring those, however...) I also liked that there were womyn at the bar too, as opposed to some of the single sex environments experienced a bit west. Who knew? The place I had brushed off and driven by a jillion times is now my new WeHo go-to.

The atmosphere was fun and friendly, staff was very nice as well. The outside seating was welcoming and comfortable. People were bubbly. Drinks - well they have a 2 for 1 special happy hour which is nice, but if your seeking a stiff or double shot drinks this place wasn't the place, even after happy hour. The drinks are more so watered down or filled more so with the mixer than the alcohol. I'll be back again, and hopefully I'll have a better drink experience. Haha
