I wanted to love the place. Oh how I wanted to love it. I tried so hard, giving this place so many second chances, but at the end of the day, it came up short. Really great lay...

I will recommend this restaurant. This place is good for anyone either with friends or families. I so like their lobster menu. One of this days, i'll be back together with my parents. more

Nice. 5/10/2012

My favorite dinner here is the pork chop, no matter how the cook it. It changes every month. In the months they don't have the pork chop the pork shoulder is a good consolation. more

You Gotta Go!! 3/22/2012

?I love this place. I would definitely recommend it to all mature crowds. The Bar is great! The servers are very friendly. There is a BIG college crowd on the weekends and around Basketball and Football season the place is filled with sports fans! The crowd is very upbeat! There is a mix on the weekdays of college students, everyday people, and business people from the local office buildings. The food is great! there is a mixture of everything. From Catfish to Hamburgers! They keep the place very clean and the food once again is just amazing! And drink service is great! I never mind leaving a tip!!? more

The place was packed with cuties 8/8/2011

The moment i walked in here i felt like i was back in college, beer pong going on, pitchers of beer and frat guys everywhere. The place was packed with cuties and i would say the ratio was pretty good.The bartenders serve fast which i liked, got a round of shots for the guys. Upstairs they have beer pong tables and it has a big following. more

Ridiculous, stereotyping, racist frat party 8/7/2011

This place is run by a racist, pretentious pr*ck. I went last night (sat.) for a friend's birthday party.. My bf was wearing a long sleeve polo collared shirt and fitted jeans with a belt -- and they did not let us in. Mind u we saw several ppl coming in and out with baggier pants than him and even shorts! When we pointed this out the bouncer just shrugged his shoulders and said that he wasn't at the door when they came in. Mind you there is NO DRESS CODE ON THEIR WEBSITE and when u call the # it's just a recording. However the fat disgusting bouncer checking IDs at the door said that my bf looked ""unpresentable,"" right as someone in shorts is walking out and some guy with huge pants is walking in. The army of douch* bag bouncers that post up in front of this sports bar -turned beer pong ""night club""- claim that the manager is watching everyone that comes in and gives them a yes or no (racial profiling) they also said that the manager does not come out and talk to anyone (he's a little b*tch, a puss). This place is 90% whites, 5% asian, and 5% other. This place is a ridiculous frat party full of as*holes. more

Manager is RACIST!!! 7/30/2011

I've been here three times and all three times we've had a friend who hasn't been able to get in because his jeans are ""too loose or baggy."" Our friends have gone back to change and imagine how degrading this might be for them. They come back the same night, and are told ""your look isn't what Happy Endings is going for."" Oh and other people are getting in with plaid shirts and cargo shorts. Yes all three guys were brown! Happy Endings management is as racist as can be. Oh and might I add the jeans were definitely not loose or baggy, any tighter it would've look wrong. more

The service was always nice 7/7/2011

During the year (2008, so ya this review is long overdue) I was interning in LA for a small production company I would frequent Happy Ending at least 2 times a week for lunch. It didn't hurt that it was literally across the street from our offices! I was introduced by two other interns that had been there a few months before me and I was pleasantly surprised by the food. At first glance you see a bar but when you read the menu you are greeted by filet mignon sliders, truffle herb fries, beet and goat cheese salad and a grilled cheese sandwich and tomato soup combo that will bring a big smile to any nostalgic American that ate them as a kid. The service was always nice and never failed to give me a good laugh with their great humor. Another cool thing, you can play trivia games on the little touch screens on each booth, while you wait for your food. Other than that, they have wheel of fortune which is put into use at night (Tuesdays?), a lobster aquarium, and if you're feeling adventuress you can order yourself a nice refreshing FISH BOWL of your favorite libation. Yes it's an actual fish bowl. I haven't visited for about two years now, hope it hasn't changed too much. more

You can eat you can drink and you can dance 6/20/2011

I am not a party animal. But I love Happy Ending. You can eat you can drink and you can dance. I like the layout of the place and I really enjoy the music. I like the kind of people that go there and you can always spot some actors so yes it's my kind of place. more

Good times. 6/15/2011

I'm a local and have been to this place many times. Free UFC fights (GSP showed up a few months ago), Lakers games, NCAA Football, etc. There is no cover to enter and the venue is nice with a lot of TV's and projectors and also has a 2nd floor. During the day and early evening, the place has a killer menu. Mostly bar food, but everything is good. The pizza, the filet sliders, the burgers, you name it. They also have a cool wheel on the wall which they allow girls to spin. Once it lands on a drink special, that special will be good until the next girl spins. The bar staff is usually friendly and will even let the girl have a freebie if she can land on the special she wants. Why usually friendly? I came here once and a few of the bartenders were from the New England area. They seemed to care more about the BoSox-Yankees game than serving patrons waiting for drinks. Happy Ending also serves free popcorn! At night, the music is usually good and the place will get packed on weekends around midnight and stay full till 2 am. The crowd is a pretty eclectic mix, but that's what you're going to get in Hollywood. I've also come here when they've had beer pong set up as well as a night when a band played covers of songs while participants could come up on stage and sing along. I guess it's like live karaoke. Good times. more

the best of both world 6/14/2011

If a sports bar and a college bar would have a baby, and that baby crawled onto sunset than this is it. Are there better sports bars out there? Yes... Are there better college bars out there?? yes. But only here can you receive the best of both world in the heart of hollywood. The bars decent size, theres no cover charge and sports are running all day. This isnt a club, if you looking to freak all night long then this isnt your place. However if your looking to drown your sorrows with some friends and be one of the handful of randoms stumbling out of this bar at 2 in the morning, come here. As a guy, im always on my best game here. Cause you never know with happy endings. They have good nights and bad nights, but regardless you will have a selection of chicks to mingle with. more

you'll be happy 6/13/2011

After leaving the Hawaiian BBQ we ran out in the rain splashing in puddles and dodging cars in the parking lot to drive over to Happy Ending. Since it was right behind the place we had just been at we'd figure it would be a cinch to park and what not. It wasn't, there was valet here so rather than try to circle the block and avoid rush hour traffic we just valet'd. It was like 3.50 (remember this). We go inside and it's a New York style bar, with TV's at every booth.. I mean literally tv's over my head and gf's head and so on and so forth at every booth.. nice! My team the Knick's were on the tube but lost to the Cav's. Fans were cheering. We checked out the menu and I tried the Mahi Mahi fish tacos. This was a bad idea as I'm so used to the killer Mahi's at South Beach in OB that these didn't fare well in comparison. GF got the chicken spring rolls and I traded some of my tacos for her spring rolls. I drank a couple of Racer 5's and she had a bud light. The atmosphere is more enjoyable than the food is and I can see some good drinking time being done here. They had a spin the wheel game for drink specials... plenty of space for many guests, lots of TV's for sports, and Johnny on the spot servers. I do recommend this place for drinks after work or as a starter for a crawl along the strip...... in the end... you'll be happy, except when we got outside and the valet price had gone up to 4.75. Another couple apparently was familiar with their shenanigans as they joked about it as they arrived. I said document the current price as when you get out it's gonna be different, laughed and sped off to sweet home San Diego. more
