My friends and I have been here before for happy hour, and we decided to celebrate my birthday here the other day! Paul was so fun and attentive to our group. Thanks for making my birthday a good one 🙂
Huge shoutout to Paul!! He was fantastic. We went to celebrate a friend's birthday and he was so accommodating and friendly. The drinks were delicious and he went out of his way to sing Happy Birthday which was a highlight. We will definitely be coming back.
The drinks are expensive but unique and very tasty. I got a strawberry matcha gin cocktail and my friends for the fish sauce margarita - both were great and we had never had anything like that before. Their menu seems to switch out frequently as both were not written on the menu itself and some of the cocktails we asked for that were in the menu were not actually available. The bartender and servers are very friendly though, so make sure to ask what they are currently serving!
We hosted our post-marathon party at Sorry Not Sorry with over 100 runners, and the experience couldn't have been better. The staff was incredibly welcoming, the space was perfect, and the energy matched exactly what we needed. Highly recommend for group events or anyone looking for a great vibe and even better hospitality. Thank you to the SNS team for making it so special!
This place looks unassuming from the front but is so cute inside!
I came here to meet a friend and we got some happy hour wine and fries. The service was quick, efficient, and very kind. I would definitely come back!

We hosted a private party of about 40 during off hours at Sorry Not Sorry and they made it a really easy experience. From being flexible with the catering menu, accommodating my last minute changes in headcount, allowing me set up time before the event, these were all details I immensely appreciated. The staff was wonderful and welcoming. My guests had a great time. The space is super cute, the indoor and outdoor available space makes this a gem of a venue for hosting.
Absolute BEST place to hold a party! Very chill atmosphere, cool menu and full bar, patio seating, free reservations. The best!!
The owner of Sorry Not Sorry is lovely! Love hearing about how this bar came to be. I've visited when they've had events and those are fun. I've gone for happy hour with coworkers when I used to work nearby, and I also held my farewell celebration there, too. It's not too far from the Metro. They have more outdoor seating than indoors, and it's pretty chill. Love getting their specials and deals.
The bartenders and servers are friendly. Really like their cocktails. I usually get appetizers which are tasty. Love the space, it's cozy inside and extremely spacious outside.
One of the few places on the Westside that's great for large groups! They are a real community gathering place, which is hard to find in LA.

Great neighborhood bar, relaxed, friendly, good service. Back patio terrific spot for group meet-ups. Nachos are super!
This is my go-to bar in West LA, especially for events. They have a big wonderful patio for groups and the inside has a classy, comfy atmosphere as well. The food is great - amazing garlic fries in particular - and the drinks are reasonably priced and never disappoint. Great service too - when I accidentally left my backpack there they saved it and even got it to me early the next morning!
A friend and I went for the Dine LA menu, such a great deal on awesome Vietnamese food! Special shout out to Paul for great service and vibes, and for taking extra care with a food allergy. Very cute trendy spot, the music playing was definitely for the gworls and we loved it. The back patio was closed as it was a slow and drizzly Tuesday night but looks like it would be really fun in the summer.
Seriously, such a cool place/vibe and the food and drinks are amazing too!
We don't get to get out much because of the kid, but we've enjoyed every time we have a chance to go to SNS.
We had a birthday party on their back patio which was a extremely accommodating (kids were welcome), spacious, and no deposit required as we were going to order as we went through the day instead of pre planned meals from SNS. Where else in LA can you have 30+ guests come and hang like that?
Most recently tried their Dine LA menu and seriously, huge portions and SO good for the price. The selection of NA spirits, wine, and other options were greatly appreciated and taken advantage of.
There aren't many spacious, inclusive spots on the west side that we know of a so we are more than happy to be a returning patron here!l when we can 🙂

Fantastic food foremost. The decor is great and our bartender was very welcoming and a great host. She made sure to check in with every table and make sure they were doing good, and for a single person, was exceptionally good at taking care of the front of house.
The food here is both creative and yet nostalgic at the same time. The fried banh tet from the dinela menu was fantastic. Perfectly made, a surprising and welcome addition to the menu from an unexpected place.
The vietnamese shaking beef burger was absolutely delicious. A call back to a blue cheese burger with a fantastic depth and complexity aided by the peppery arugula and perfectly grilled buns and sirloin. The ube cheesecake is a great sweet to end the night on.
The drinks were very good. We tried the erewhon and the glo up and were. balanced and had either a nice complex taste owing to the choice of mezcal or a nice sweet treat.

Came here with my boyfriend for the dine in LA experience! The food was awesome and our bartender was wonderful. We ordered the kimchi pancake, the fried banh tet (YUM), the beef burger and the chicken banh mi. Oh also the Glow Up was sooooo yummy perfect watermelon cocktail mmm mmm mmmmmm Everything was great and I really loved how comfy this place was. Nice sofa seatings and warm lighting! Heard there's a lunar new year menu coming and very very excited to come again. We're about to get our third course hehe ^w^
10/10 glad to have found this place! Also they have a back patio but it was raining so we'll take a look next time

Obsessed with the kimchi quesadillas at first but then Jae suggested beef tacos with guacamole!!
Adorable little romantic place with an eclectic menu (fantastic garlic fries), a fire pit, fun drinks and outdoor seating-- we loved it!
Sorry not Sorry has become a staple for our friend group. From casual nights, to celebrations, even to work events. The staff is friendly, there is plenty of seating both indoor and outdoor and there's a wide variety of drinks. They have food options to fit any palate or dietary restrictions: from carnivores to herbivores. Ee typically choose to sit outside and enjoy the nice LA air. If it's winter and the temperature drops overnight they do have heat lamps available.
Love the mole nachos and anything with mezcal.

Have been here a couple times now and am LOVING their ice cream!!!! My fave so far is the Ube Honeycomb!!!! My husband's go-to is the milk and cream! I love the creaminess of the ice cream...and the flavor palettes are so unique!!! The staff is always welcoming and helpful!!! It's dangerous that they are not far from me!
The food is good. Try the mole nachos! I love any of the drinks with Mezcal in it. Also tried the non alcoholic drinks and loved those too.
The vibe is very casual with a small indoor area and a large outdoor space in the back. The bathroom is clean and spacious.
Service is a little slow, but the most recent time I went there were 4 birthdays happening (1 of which I was part of) at the same time, so it's understandable.

This is my second visit to sorry not sorry the first time I went and it was drag queen bingo night and it was absolutely hysterical. Amazing handcrafted cocktails made with love... You can taste it in the cocktails! Great DJ spinning great tunes delicious food and cocktails. You cannot ask for Moore in a bar and little did I know there is a huge outdoor space behind the bar. You can host 150 people there easily. The owners in general managers are amazing humans kind caring interested in how people are enjoying themselves. There's even a wine class that happens, but I can't wait to attend this Bar has got it all!
Some friends and I stopped by Sorry Not Sorry for the DineLA menu. So glad that we discovered this place thanks to their participation in DineLA! Their menu for the event was fantastic -- cocktail, appetizer, entree, AND dessert for $35? Absolutely solid.
I was really impressed by the service and ambiance of the restaurant. The back patio area is very spacious and inviting, and all staff members were very friendly and attentive to our table. The indoor area was also super cool and had tons of cozy-looking seats. It felt more like a lounge (complete with a great selection of board games provided to guests)!
Drinks were great! I tried the Early Morning Spin Class, and it was the perfect balance of flavors (and a great amount of liquor!).
Food was quite good. The baby bok choi was the quintessential summer salad. Absolutely delicious. I tried the chicken bahn mi for my entree, and I was slightly disappointed by the under-pickled veggies and the very. dense texture of the chicken two ways (the pate seemed underseasoned?) with the bread. I won't order this again when I return. That said, the tropical crepe cake dessert was *amazing* and really capped off the evening on a perfect note. Again, food was great, but I definitely wish I had tried the burger, which my friend described as "beautiful."
My fiancée and my friend also ordered the Bomb Ass Potato Salad and the fried buffalo cauliflower with house dressings, and both were stellar. I stole a lot of the potato salad. The buffalo cauliflower was a bit spicy for my taste, but, frankly, most things are a bit spicy for my taste.
I can't wait to stop back in sometime soon to try more items on their regular menu! Again, so glad that we found this place.

We have rented Sorry not Sorry now for two events and plan to do more. Working with them is a pleasure. The food is not just fresh and delicious, the presentation was beautiful. The service has always been amazing. Everyone is extremely friendly and welcoming. Prices are very reasonable and the location is excellent for anyone wanting to meet at a westside location.
We LOVE Sorry Not Sorry! The vibe is excellent, the food is delicious, the cocktails are strong, and the community feel is second to none. We've been fortunate to host two events on their lovely patio. The staff and management are fantastic - accommodating, kind, thoughtful, and always willing to go the extra step. Whether you need an after-work hangout or a venue with vibes, Sorry Not Sorry is the place to be!
I've hosted a couple of events at SNS. It's my favorite spots for well planned parties! They have a cool bar but a huge patio with lot's of space to host a lot of people and parties at the same time. You can easily reserve the area you prefer, bring your decorations, and most importantly, it's super convenient because the waiters open tabs for each person and you can easily keep asking for food or drinks without having to worry about payments at the end. If it gets cold outside late at night, you can also continue the party at the bar inside that is pretty cool too. The service is good and super friendly. Just make sure to reserve in advance if you have a big group to make sure they staff properly to serve you as best as they can. Oh - and they have board games, events that they publish every month in their website, and very good food actually! Thanks SNS for having me, you'll continue to see me often! 🙂
I came in for DineLA and had such a great time. A cocktail + app, entree, and dessert for $35 + tip is an unbelievable price.
The cocktail was delicious and definitely didn't skimp on the liquor. I started with the baby bok choi salad which was very bright and citrusy. The real star of the apps, however, was the kimchi quesadilla that my friend got. It was unbelievable and I would absolutely go back just for that.
For my entree, I had the burger which was so delicious. The blue cheese on the burger isn't something I would normally go for but the balance was beautiful and I definitely ate it faster than I should.
I finished the night with the tropical crepe cake which was so light and not too sweet.
Most of the seating is outdoor in the back in the picnic-style tables, which was great for our party. Brandon, the general manager, came by to check in on us several times, which I appreciated.
I will definitely be back, especially when that kimchi quesadilla makes it onto the permanent menu.

I recently planned a wedding reception at this venue as a follow up to my birthday celebration there in October. Both times this staff has made our events so special. They go above and beyond, dedicate a server to your area, have very reasonable prices, and really work with you to allow you to decorate and make your evening special. Special kudos to Brandon you rock!
Came for Dine LA for their incredible deal - $35 for 3 entrees and a cocktail? Hell yeah. We got a chance to taste pretty much everything and had a wonderful time - the cocktails were strong and tasty, the portions were generous and delicious, and the ambiance in the back patio on a warm summer evening was unmatched!
Food:
- Kimchi quesadillas were the definite star to me - so flavorful and rich with a little bit of a spicy kick, I could've mistaken them for a vegetarian entree somewhere else. That said, the Asian pear salad was great too and the two appetizers really balanced each other out.
- Between the burger and banh mi, I think the banh mi was my favorite - the pickled vegetables went really well with the grilled chicken and crispy-soft baguette. Burger was really tasty too with a spiced patty and juicy pickles.
- I was already pretty full by the time dessert rolled around, but got a second wind as soon as I had a taste. The mille crepe cake with the pineapple and blueberry? DIVINE. I'm usually not a huge Mille crepe cake gal myself, but the fruit flavors were perfectly balanced and the cake wasn't too sweet, which went amazingly with the preserves. The flavor of the five spice ganache was so unexpected and lent a savory umami edge to the brownie-vanilla ice cream combo (also delicious, a perfectly soft and chewy brownie.)
- Drinks paired amazingly with the meal, and we definitely indulged in a few. The Glow Up is probably my favorite, perfectly refreshing in the heat.
SERVICE: Fast and attentive and friendly - it was early in the evening, so the GM came by to check in on us as well. We only had good things to say all around.
Am honestly thinking of coming back again while they're still running the DineLA promo... I had a great time and it is truly a spectacular deal.

A fun backyard atmosphere with great service! You can sit inside but outside is really nice! You sit on picnic tables and benches. The service is great you don't just have one server you have them all! If one of them sees you're done they come up and ask if you want another drink more food etc. They offer a drag queen brunch that was on Sundays and they have a drag queen bingo night! Check out their website to see what is going on for the month! The garlic fries are amazing as is the fried Buffalo cauliflower!! Fun place for groups it runs about 30.00 per person.
4.5 stars rounding up to 5 stars. As a casual event and entertainment venue serving food and drink, this place has a great ambiance and no-pressure, yet prompt and pleasant service. I enjoyed the chicken nachos and thought they were good value for the price. Though it might not end up on an essential foodie list, the caliber of food paired with the pleasant, inviting space plus the game nights and other themed amusements they host really make this business a gem in this community.
A nice venue with good food! When you enter the main bar it's a tight squeeze and loud - great if you just want to grab a drink and socialize. But there's also an entire outdoor patio area if you want a chiller vibe. There's a fire pit and a series of heat lamps (could use more lamps outside). There were two larger parties but it didn't impact my ability to chat with my friend. The true highlight of the evening was the wings. Get them. I cannot convey how tasty these are. My friend and I were salivating and I'm still debating to go back and get more. The perfect balance of sweet and tangy. Service was chill. I asked for a burger without onion and they forgot but the server came back out and acknowledged it all by herself. I was fine just taking them off but I appreciate the willingness to own the error and the offer to make me a new burger. I was also debating about a drink and she said if I didn't like it that she'd let me pick something else. Sorry I didn't get her name! We were also bummed they were out of their signature desserts but maybe that's a testament to how good they are.
Attended a private party for a large crowd, 150+ party. Held on outdoor patio which had ample room for a large crowd and enough heaters to keep warm. Great cocktails and buffet finger food.
Quickly becoming the hotspot of the west side, this casual and fun place is a fantastic way to spend an evening.
We came in for a film festival party and found a space outside in the back.
The drinks were delish but we had to go inside to order anything. I never saw a waitress. Nit sure if it's always that way but happy to adapt. We went inside to order and felt very cozy and comfortable.
Great ambiance and service was good.
I'll try the food next time and update ya'll! Yes? This means we will definitely return!

Came here for an event and it's a great venue for a relaxed social gathering. The bar inside is a little small but the enclosed outdoor lot in the back was a great space for our large private group, probably 40-60 ppl. Love the heater lamps and the fire pits. There was a great drink menu (wine, beer, spirits, cocktails, mocktails, and an impressive list of other non-alcoholic options too). I got the "early morning spin class (great name for a great drink lol), a concoction of vodka, peche de vigne, fresh pressed orange juice and cranberry. A small group of us ordered some apps. My fave was the chicken mole nachos, which were fantastic. The mole really added a nice twist to a traditional nacho platter. The chicken tacos were a little bland and the turmeric garlic fries were a little soggy. The service was fantastic (efficient and friendly) and they did a great job catering to our large group despite their small staff. It's mostly just street parking in the area but I got lucky and found something around the corner.
