"An open and loved gastropub in the heart of Studio City. Laurel Tavern is all about the basics – order at the bar and seat yourself. Enjoy the relaxing atmosphere, casual pub fare, variety of beers, and signature cocktails. The spot is perfect for all occasions – hangouts, dates, and sporting events." - Blake Kathryn
"Laurel Tavern is kind of like Cinderella’s carriage - except instead of turning into a pumpkin at midnight, every day at 4:30pm, it transforms into Studio City’s number one spot for after-work drinks. The bar food is solid, the corkage fee is low, and everyone’s heart is just wishing for the traffic on Laurel Canyon to die down." - kat hong
"Choosing to drive down Laurel Canyon at rush hour is like voluntarily locking yourself in a room with a bunch of angry wasps, which is why so many captives of the lots in Studio City decide to wait out the traffic with a burger and a beer at Laurel Tavern. Even if you don’t work in the Valley, you should still visit - it’s an industry spot that feels like more like a neighborhood hangout, and has a very good burger. One comes with honey mustard and cheddar, and is the size of a large guinea pig." - brett keating
"This casual beer and burger spot in Studio City has reasonable prices (especially during their daily Happy Hour from 3-6pm), and one of our favorite burgers in the city. The crowd here is probably doing the exact same thing you are - meeting a distant colleague for some light industry gossip until traffic dies down on Laurel Canyon." - brant cox
"Laurel Tavern opened as a casual neighborhood bar and restaurant on Ventura in Studio City and has quickly morphed into the de facto after-work drink spot for everyone who works in the Valley. This isn’t where you go to impress someone with your restaurant-finding skills - this is where you go after a long day of mediocre auditions to talk to the assistant of a high-powered manager who’s only there for the expense-able burger." - brant cox, brett keating
