Jug Jug Sports Bar & Restaurant

HIDDEN GEM!! What a great little find this place was. I was in town for 2 days for work, searched "sports bar near me" to watch football on a Sunday and stumbled across this place. Decent little sports bar vibe, but the FOOD!! Authentic Korean, scratch made in the back. The spicy wings, the shrimp tempura, the fried rice, incredible!!

Food: this is a sports bar/dive that serves great Korean food. I recommend trying the chicken wings or kimchi pork fried rice. Parking: the restaurant has ample parking since it’s in a large shopping area, anchored by CVS. Tips: they offer a good variety of draft beers. They have pork hock, which goes great with beer when watching a game.

Very nice. I enjoyed a nice little Sunday there.

Owner always makes it a point to have patrons be happy and comfortable. He goes above and beyond to interact. All the bartenders r beautiful, friendly, and kind that interact with friendly banter and can contribute to any topic u talk about.

This place deserves 10 out of 5 stars. The seaweed soup is insane (they are both mine) , French fries are awesome, that’s all I’ve tried. Come here all the time for e soup. And the vibe of this place soooo Tarantino and just great! Even though there are only outside seating now

Reason for visiting: Thursday night football Date/time of visit: Thursday, ~6:00 PM Parking: in the adjacent lot, free; shared with other businesses Party size: 5 Environment/ambience: small sports bar; initially they said they didn't have the game on but figured out they did later, which was odd. A couple TVs, wasn't too crowded. Service: was ok; she came around a few times. Food: was ok; had a few pitchers of Modelo, Pork Hock + Snail, seafood pancake, and chicken wings. The wings tasted good and had good flavor; they're the big wings, which were good. The seafood pancake was ok, not really crispy (comes with a side of sauce). The pork hock was good; didn't try the snail. The galbi ribs were ok too, nothing special Cost: ~$300 with tip

I don't know how people find this place to be even decent, other than having incredibly bad taste in food and environment. For starters, the food has great presentation but the price shows where the owner sunk the redesign of this once classic spot into a club vibe for a place with poor taste in design. This place looks and feels dirty, possibly due to the staffing. The bathrooms are not a place that makes you feel like you should have food here either. Do not recommend and will not return. This is a very honest review. I've had a better experience at dive bars than I've had here.

A friend recommended I try the Korean spicy wings over a year ago. Unfortunately I couldn't until this week. We'll I'm on day 3 of consecutive ordering!! I can't get enough!! This is my new favorite food choice.

The bartender is super hilarious hahaha, 10/10 vibes Also, Aquarius friendly(if you believe in zodiacs)

Went in as a large party. We had a reservation. We had a large party between 15-20. But they only gave us two tables, and a smaller one. The seating was also pretty bad. The location they gave was in the corner of the bar so it made is so some of us couldn't sit down. Some of us also couldn't eat as they gave us chairs but no tables. The food was 6/10, took too long to come (ONE HOUR!!). When we got there, we order beef ribs, popcorn chicken, corn cheese, couple shooters, fried rice, and a pitcher of beer. The popcorn chicken came quick but it was just breading. There was almost no chicken. The corn cheese, fried rice, and beef ribs took a whole hour. I understand if the place a busy, but our party got there when there was barely a handful of other guests. We followed up on the orders and even complained to the manager. The waitress lied to the manager and said she gave us the food. Keep in mind, this waitress was under a controlled substance. At one point, we asks to order more food and drinks. She said she'll be back with a notepad. For 10 minutes, she was just walking around doing nothing. How hard is it get a notepad and cups of water? I would talk about the drinks but they barely could give us food and a shooter after an hour. Overall, the food was okay. The service was terrible. I wouldn't come here again.

Nice place to go to catch a game, although it's a bit too cold inside. Outside, especially on summer nights and early fall nights is just perfect, however. Popcorn chicken is pretty decent, but not memorable, but the bulgogi is delicious. Just make sure to mix everything in the pan to get all the good marinate from the serving plate.

The absolute best Korean Bbq in Granada hills. The bartenders and owner have always been welcoming and sweet no matter what day I come and the place looks amazing after their remodel. Do not sleep on Jug jug! Stop by and show some love!

This place is hidden gem, my girlfriend and just found it by accident and we were surprise on how good the food was. We had a couple of cold one, the people were chilled and the food was amazing. If you're looking for a nice dive bar, this place is amazing place!

What's up Yelp nation? I can't believe I have yet to write a review for one of my fav spots in the valley!!Allow me to introduce you to Jug Jugs ladies and gents! Let me tell you! This Korean mom and pop spot right here! Right hereeeer ninja! Them spicy wings are crack! I've been coming here for years! and let me tell you, this spot always comes in clutch. You know when you're hungry and you need some late night spot and you and ur girl can't decide? Well, the wings at Jug Jugs are it fam! Plain and simple hands down the best wings you can get in the Valley. Dead ass, no lie! I even had my birthday celebration here one year, and it was lit. I mean, they got Korean pitchers, darts, and all the pay-per-view fights you could ask for. It's like a one-stop-shop for all your party needs. Now, Jug Jugs used to be divey, but the owner recently remodeled it and it's looking like a modern eclectic restaurant/bar now. I mean, it's got that vibe where you can come in with your crew, have a few drinks, and just chill. And the best part? The prices are cheap, and the food is great. Sure, the service can be a bit slow at times, but the owner is always hooking it up. If he sees that you're a loyal customer and you're spending a lot of money, he'll throw in some free fruit or even a dish. Or maybe he just recognizes me at this point, I don't know. But listen, thank you, Jug Jugs, for existing. You're a gem in the valley, and I'll keep coming back for those truly amazing wings! Peace!

Thought we had found a spot to watch the UFC fights but this last time was a horrible experience. Not only is the service slow, which is understandable on a busy night. But this is the second time that we ask for Tajín rimmed margaritas and not only do they make the mistake of doing salt but they don't even offer to fix it. We had to ask for empty cups with Tajín rim and pour our drinks out ourselves. The food looked good but it's so pricey. We did order the spicy chicken wings which were delicious. What truly ruined this place for me is that when it came time to pay the bill we noticed they charged us for 2 more drinks than we ordered. We brought it up to the waitress and the owner; unfortunately we had already paid so it was a matter of getting a refund. The waitress "guaranteed" we ordered the extra round. However I was 100% positive we didn't and we requested they check the cameras. The owner agreed but asked us to wait for them to close out some tabs. Why we had to wait 15 minutes before being helped is beyond me. We waited and then after making eye contact with the owner a few times he finally brought out a super antiquated camera device. He and my husband started reviewing the footage and we even told him what time we got our last round because I had taken a picture of it. The technology they have is so old it wouldn't fast forward so my husband had to go frame by frame. We sat there for about 30 minutes until the owner finally gave us the refund. Mistakes happen but the fact that we were made to feel like liars and thieves didn't sit well with me. Why would we request camera reviewing if we were lying? They didn't even offer anything, not even an apology and actually made it seem like they were doing us a FAVOR for giving us the refund. He also seemed upset and mentioned that we "wasted his time".I highly doubt I'll be back considering the mistake was on their end and we were treated so poorly when calling them out.

So we came here on a random night that we were checking out a few new spots that we've never been to, and we're focusing on small dive type bars. I've driven past this place many times before but had never stepped foot inside until a few months ago. I will say one thing: this was the best spot of the night, but that's not saying much at all. It's a small spot, small bar but had several TVs, all on sports channels showing games, etc. That was good. The service was a little slow, as it seemed like there was only 2 staff members there, a manager type and a very young girl who seemed to be very new. No problem; we were all new at something at some point. So we just had to wait a bit longer than we should've for drinks/orders. Plus, I felt like their drink menu, specifically their whiskey options, were VERY limited. I also noticed that there seemed to be a lot of couples on dates in here sitting in the booths. I don't know if that's because we came a little early, around 8pm. I wondered if the crowd would change at a later time of the night. Nonetheless, I felt like this place had potential to be lots of fun with a cool crowd. So, I definitely want to come back another time.

3 stars is A-OK. Let me start with that I've been circling this place for many years and finally I went there. Unfortunately, I did not pay attention to the pictures on Yelp, this place is basically a bar that serves Korean food. Honestly, we walked in and were shocked that it just looked like a bar with a few people in it and not a restaurant look at all, they do have booths. We decided to give it a shot. Well, we got a few dishes and they were good/Ok but very expensive and the portions were small, there's absolutely no reason they don't load up those plates with how much they charge, unfortunately that's a deal-breaker for me. I will say, the bartender and servers were very, very nice and the one thing I will take away from this place is that I probably will never eat there again but it looks like it would be a good bar option to go to that stays open till 2:00am daily.

Wow! I found a new place to chill, have food and drinks! The food is a bit pricey for me but it was really good! Service was ok since only one person working there on a late Sunday night. Margarita was good and the bbq ribs so tender! I ate it with steamed rice which is extra $$. The place looks really cool. A lot of tvs everywhere and the toilet was like the rolls royce of all toilets with heated seat and bidet with a feature that blow dries your bumbum!

A great place to watch a game and get some good food, especially their beef tacos. Will definitely be back. Madison was great, too!

Love the food and the ambience here . Big TVs are a big bonus ! The beef bulgogi is also very yummy

We got the mango soju cocktail and spicy pot stew (which I realized was budaejjigae in Korean on the menu!), and I'm glad we did! It wasn't super busy when we were here, and the servers were friendly and checked on us a few times, which was enough for us! A few notes though: 1. They did appear to raise prices (which shouldn't be a huge shock!), so I added the menu pics. 2. Expect dim lighting, louder music, and a little dive-iness! 3. The soju cocktails are 58 oz for $21.99, so it shouldn't be shocking that they're not super strong... Ok, so the mango soju cocktail was huge, tasted decent (definitely can't taste the alcohol, and that could either be good or bad, depending on how much you drink and how much soju goes in this). As for the "spicy pot stew," which is their budaejjigae, it was better than we expected! The stew had bacon, spam, kimchi, sausage, cabbage, green onion, onion, tofu, and a few slices of carrot. Note that the ramen (which you do usually find in budaejjigae) isn't already included. Definitely ask if they can add it, if you're a noodle-lover like me! It's an extra $3, but worth it. Otherwise, get some rice for an extra $2. Budaejjigae hits the spot when you're having a drink, especially if it's soju! My partner loved the broth, and we would come back to drink and have budaejjigae without going all the way to Ktown.

Ive been coming here for a while i got to say montse and khari are the best they here on the weekends and they will make your stay amazing

There is this girl server with black straight hair. She was so rude for no reason. I asked her to explain my tab because I was a little confuse but she got irritated about it. She even shh me when I tried explaining something. The weird part I walked back to my table and she came to continue being so disrespectful to the point she wanted to be a mean girl and mention my nails were ugly. She's weird for that like your pushing 35 years old. Act your age girl.

Horrible place! Didn't even get to order because they allowed people to smoke right outside the door and smoke gets inside and the whole place smells like a roadside motel. I guess it's a good place if you're a smoker.

This place is one of the best spots outside K-town. A hidden gem in the Valley. The food is legit. The Bossam, galbi, sea snails golbangi and seafood pancake are delicious. Definitely a place to stop in and enjoy. The drinks are flowing and the music is bumping.

It's cool bar, I like the layout out and the concept of the bar. Haven't tried the food but it looks good. If you set at a table be ready to wait a little bit for a bar tender or waiter.. some times they only have one .. but the selection of beers is really good and their mix cocktails are really good. It's a cold, Davey, kind of bar, feeling to go with a group of friends to have some good drinks and hang out

Great service. Friendly for sure I like it I will come back for sure. First timer. Did not try the food but I will next time

I had a party of about 20 people to celebrate someone's birthday. I called about 2 weeks ahead to ask if they can handle the large group and said that I would call back to confirm a week before the scheduled event. The woman on the phone was incredible and helped me a lot. Once we got there the day of, I realized that not everyone would be able to have a table in front of them. I went to order some food for us to start with and once everyone came I ordered our drinks. We were missing some drinks and food for an hour before I went up to the counter to ask for it. They gave us the drinks but not the food. I went back up upset and the manager or owner said that the waitress gave it to us when we DID NOT receive it. I told him 3 times before he said he'd check. And the waitress that was serving us was either drunk or high because she kept forgetting to grab us more water cups when we asked and had told us multiple times that she would come back with her notepad when she did not. Overall, the waitress we had was drunk or high, the manager/owner tried to tell me that I got my food when I didn't, and there was just not enough space for all of us to be there. If you want to go with a smaller party, then that would be better. MAX 4-6 people because large orders are not being double checked and they might think you're trying to get your price down by saying you're missing stuff.

Foods Good & Music is good. Drinks are watered down...like they open alcohol bottles pour half out and refill it with water...The beer on tap seemed the same way.

This place gets a solid 3 stars from us because they are one of the rare places that open late in these crazy pandemic times. The service was great and our waitress/bartender were kind. Unfortunately the food was not that good. It's Korean food, but too sweet, or soggy (wrong textures). It's not bad or inedible, but it's also not good. Just right down the middle for us. We got the jap chae (glass noodles, this one was too wet and too sweet), bulgogi (not bad), steamed egg (overcooked), and Korean pancake (undercooked). Overall grateful to have a late night place, but wouldn't really recommend if there are other options. Will say though, that you might just stop by and get a drink? A lot of people seemed to be enjoying themselves at the bar catching some games.

Food was decent but the playlist was the best part. Def a hidden gem and dog friendly.

Used to come here a lot. Sometimes gets lively when a games on. What I don't like about it, and why I stopped coming is that they definitely treat some of the regulars a lot better than others. I was definitely the only guy not getting a free round (or appetizer) on more than one occasion - even if there is just a few of us and I was spending good money. The customers will sometimes buy each other a round... but in my experience the management can be quite stingy. I found this out after returning to jug jug after couple of weeks off, only to find that I still owed them for one beer from 2 weeks ago! They held on to the ticket and were not about to lose out on that draft beer sale. Penny wise and pound foolish in my opinion.

I love Jug Jug the food is great the service is great the owner is awesome My favorite place in Granada Hills my favorite dish is Galbi eel and salmon filet mignon salad kimchi is legit.

I've lived in Granada Hills since 2017 and this was my first time here. I wish it didn't take me so long! They've completely remodeled the place AND they're family friendly! We came here with our two kids for some bomb Korean food and cold beers for mom and dad. I thought it would be weird at first to bring kids, but they were happy to have us and seated us right away. Service was great- friendly and fast. Food was so good with large portions. We had the chicken wings with cabbage salad, kalbi ribs, kimchi salad, rice, and garlic fries. Everything tasted fresh and was full of flavor. Tons of great beers on tap, all so cold and fresh. My husband had a michelada. Will definitely be back for more delicious Korean food. Check out my pics.

A waste of time. A while back I wanted to see the UFC fight. A fight that was showing on the same night as a Yelp Elite event. I double check the times and realize that if I leave the event exactly when it's scheduled to end I can make it to Jug Jug just in time to see the main fight. OK, That'll work. Except the event is awesome and I'm really enjoying myself and I'd love to linger a little. But I figure I'll wrap it up and head to Jug Jug. I drive over, walk inside and ....crickets. There's nobody there and they're not showing the fight. I guess they changed their mind. What an infuriating waste of time. So this Saturday, I'd like to see the UFC fight. I call about 3PM and Jug Jug says they'll have it. But I don't trust 'em anymore so I call back about 6PM. Nope. No fight. Decide what you're going to do and stick with it! The wishy washy thing makes you look like idiots and encourages customers to head somewhere else.

Really nice hole in the wall sports bar. I've always passed by this place and one day I finally went to catch Monday Night football. Drink menu is enormous, we ended up ordering mango soju and beer. Although they have a huge food menu, I would say stick to the basics: wings, fries etc. They have a lot of seating and a lot of big tv screens that you can ask to change the channel. Things I didn't like is that it's very dark inside barely any lighting, slightly over priced for low quality food, and who ever was on aux that night only played The Weeknd. Although I love The Weeknd, I rather not get in my feels while watching the game.

Jug Jug serves surprisingly tasty korean dishes. I didn't expect Korean bar food outside of Koreatown to be this good. Tried Korean blood sausage, and spicy rice cake and they were great. Very friendly atmosphere as well.

Provender: nice Korean sports bar out in the valley. I ordered the spicy squid mix, which is a dish you probably wouldn't see in other Korean restaurants. It's good beer food. The staff was friendly and attentive. Prices: reasonable considering you're not anywhere near K-town, although you'll see a lot of dishes that range in the $15-20 range. Parking: ample since it's located in a plaza. People: mostly adults (both Asian and non-Asian) during the late hours. This might be a good family spot for an early dinner. Perks: they have a decent selection of beer and serve Korean bar food that's hard to find in the valley. They are also open late. Caveat: this is a Korean bar, so order the Korean food, not the tacos. Just sayin'.

This is a no frills joint. But, The whole fried chicken is amazing. No breading, just fried skin goodness. Beers are nice and cold too.

A great place to hang out and have some delicious food and drinks! Full bar and kitchen is open late!

Stopped by several times to watch some NFL playoff games and had a real good time. Fortunately Tiffany was bartending each time I was here. She's very friendly. Honestly at least one of the times I actually stayed longer than I anticipated because of Tiffany's great customer service. I had plenty of beer. The beer is nice and cold. I also ordered the spicy chicken wings. Those things are so good. There are tv's all over. Perfect game watching atmosphere. After the game was over, Tiffany played good music to keep the crowd going. There's not much not to like about this place. Had a positive experience every time.

I been here to watch nfl and nba games a couple of times. The beer is very cold. The food menu is delicious. I have tried there wings, garlic fries, and the skewers. I highly recommend eating those appetizers. Our waitress Tiffany was very nice and did amazing job for us with excellent service. Defiantly come here to watch games, and have a good time with friends.

Once again, I write as not a bar patron but a regular at this establishment, I would underlie how much the recent renovation has breathed new life into one of the Valley's frequently-visited watering hole. Gone are the sport's memorabilia and, now, ambient lighting line the walls, proffering a more hygienic and pleasurable bar/dining experience. Not to forget, this old dog learned new tricks and has finally incorporated a Happy Hour menu that, admittedly, excessively generous in price and time allotment. Equipped with a FULL BAR and an overly-amiable, attentive, and hospitable bar staff, there isn't a bar I would even stutter to recommend to a Valley visitor than Jug Jugs.

First time here, got the combo 1 and was not worth it, yes the wings where good and the rice was good but the plate it self was not worth the total of 90$+ typical when spending this much you get a lobster and or more. Customer service was good too, but needed to continuously get attention.

I wholeheartedly adore this place. It's really rare to find a bar out in the valley where it's good vibes good food AND service is just TOP notch. I love Ashley she's the SUPER pretty girl with the kindest heart! She always makes me and my friends feel so welcomed and everybody else are super chill super accommodating I feel like for a bar it definitely changes the game when the workers actually put in time to get to know you and i noticed it wasn't just us it was everybody they were taking the time to get to know and just over all very good customer service. And how can I forget the OWNER. He's the highlight of this restaurant/bar. He's always there making sure the bar is running smooth he actually take HIS own time getting to know his customers and he's always so humble and thankful for the people coming out to his place. I honestly love supporting a business where the owner actually takes time and make sure with his own matter of hands that the business is going smooth. He's a hard working man and we love to see it!!! Lol anyways back to the food I've ordered many different dishes and NEVER once had an issue I feel like all their food is SOLID for a bar setting I was reading other reviews but for a bar setting food I feel like they have SO many options I never once ordered something and was disappointed by it. And their prices are reasonable and their drinks are SUPER cheap compared to yardhouse or any other bars so WHY NOT? Should definitely try this place. TLDR: good food reasonably priced drinks (it won't cost you an arm and a leg) and just good vibes. Check it out and you won't regret :)

Jug Jug is my go-to spot for Korean food cravings. The food never disappoints. You can't go wrong with the Spicy Wings, Shrimp Fried Rice, and Galbi. * The Spicy Wings are sooo bomb but so spicy. I like to eat the house salad in between bites * Try the Shrimp Fried Rice with the Pickled Jalepenos/Jicama they make in-house * The Galbi is my absolute favorite and comes on top of a bed of grilled onions They offer food delivery through Postmates if you don't want to leave the house. But I like to drop by so I could catch a quick conversation Duke, the owner. He's great company and has been serving the community for the last decade.

Great food and service. Love love love the spicy cabbage fried rice (kimchi), with an egg over the top. Super filling. Good atmosphere

This place is AMAZING! The food is fantastic, the beer mugs are ice cold, and the service is great. It's a hidden treasure in Granada Hills! The fried rice is the best I've ever had. Definitely try it!

I've tried,,, overpriced food. And when they mess up, you still have to pay! Don't go here.

It's been a while that I've experienced low level customer service like this Fortunately, it wasn't all bad. When we first walked in, we didn't get the usual, "hi, how can I help you?" type of greeting. It was more like, them looking at me, then me stating "hi, may we get a table for 6 please?" Answered w/ a nonchalant "sit wherever you want." (Even though there was a sign that said "please wait to be seated." ) Part of the lower level of cust service was probably because it was just 2 servers running around a little crazy. Bad judgement on mgmt scheduling. Y At one point, I asked both of the servers about one of the menu items, wondering what it was. Both replied along the lines of "IDK"--one just walked off afterward and the other described toe what she thought it might be... um, okay... Onto some of the positive... Spicy wings were great and tasty! They were jumbo wings, not the small tiny ones like one could get at BWW. Garlic fries were tasty, too All of our entrees pretty much came out singly or by 2-there were 6 of us. I originally ordered the Fish Cake Soup. Came out looking NOTHING like the pic in the menu. Looked like fish cakes were just boiled and thrown into some broth... um... ‍ I did mention that and asked for a diff dish that would be more appetizing or edible-looking. One of the servers (redhead) was nice about it... thank goodness. I ended up ordering Kimchi Stew which I was hoping would turn out okay, was crossing my fingers Verdict: it was okay. Looked like something I could have just thrown together in a hurry, definitely not what you would expect when dining out. I was just grateful it was edible and looked decent Definitely wouldn't ever go back there.

4 out of 5 Noms! Location: This place is as dive as it gets. It's not super clean nor is it bright. But that's the charm of this location. It's got a warmth that you just don't get in this era of hipster bars. Service: I've never had and issues, the food and beers are quick to the table. The owner walks around and makes sure things are done right. One of the staff was chatting away at the bar and the owner came to us and made sure we were good. Food and drinks: the wings and blood sausage are ridiculously good. Beer is cold, which is good. Wrap up: if your looking for a place to chill with your friends and eat good Korean bar food and have some beers, this is the place for you

Pretty cool sports bar with Korean food. THey have outdoor seating and they also put tv's outside for viewing. The have a really good korean fried chicken, it's moist on the inside and has a nice crispy skin. I'd skip the korean oysters tho, they give you a plate with a bunch of oysters they saran wrap some ice and they put the oysters on it, but the oysters kinda warm, and then they give you some lemons to squeeze on it. I prefer oysters on a half shell, cold. It was just kidna of weird eating them warm. THey were alirght tho, since we didn't get sick, just a little strange.

food and beer is great. most of the bartenders there are super sweet and accommodating. especially Montse! Kim and Madison were super kind as well! make sure you tip them well and SEPARATE from the bill if possible, otherwise the bar owner takes most of their hard earned tips! super messed up!!

This place must pay Yelp to keep their stars up. What a disgusting dump. This place should be sold, leveled and rebuilt into something worth while. The place is filthy, booth material is brown in color but stained mostly black. Everything on the menu sounds and looks disgusting. The prices are totally outrageous and the clientele is gross. If you patronize this place, you're gross. Horrible vibrational energy in this cesspool. Literally sat down, looked at the menu and our party of 4 immediately felt uncomfortable and we all decided it was the right decision to leave. Never EVER coming back. Imagine the success someone could have here if it was leveled and rebuilt. Just disgusting

Not good and over-priced. Would not recommend. Food review only--didn't have any drinks or beer.

came to this place for the first time , i'm from florida , let me tell you this is the best place i seen in a very long time , the perfect atmosphere , we felt like at home , the waitress the best , food awesome , a local place that I will visit every time i'm in this town

Ashley is the hostess with the mostest. I love this place. Great vibes. Great drinks and food!

I have been coming here the last 13 years. Never one time did I ever hate coming here. The food is bomb. The drinks are awesome. Get an order of mild chicken wings, 2 fried eggs, and fried rice. Trust me. Its dope. Also helps that the people that work there are fun, nice, and cool to hang with!!!
