Our Guestbook
“ The food was surprisingly good. Menu was small and typical bar food but everything tasted great. Service was okay. Had to order online, but had trouble so ordered through the bartender. Confusing since there are no wait staff. Ambiance is sparse. Gets loud when it fills up with people, but good place to hang out before a USC basketball game. ”
“ Came for a happy hour. Left happy. Close proximity to USC made it convenient if you're already close by at the hotel, arena or school event nearby. We had charcuterie catered with roaming small bites including beef sliders, portabello bites, and chicken tenders in addition to the usual bar staples. The outdoor patio great for mingling and restrooms are nice. Paid paid is available in the large structure next to the hotel. ”
“ The Lab Gastropub is a loud, noisy spot; these facts aren't a secret because of it's proximity to USC. Tip: The venue is directly opposite the USC campus The portion sizes here are very generous, and the food is pretty darn good - put a couple of beers next to some of their food and it tastes even better ;) Prices are fairly reasonable, and the service is prompt and friendly. ”
“ Cool spot to go to before or after a USC game . The Galen center is directly next door. Parking lot available across the street. Friendly staff! ”
“ The Lab is a chill spot for food and drinks. There is seating both indoors and outdoors with some large couch areas for big groups or small tables for intimate meetings. We ordered the kimchi fries and brussel sprouts for the table. They were tasty and well portioned for sharing. They had a sizable drink menu with cocktails, beers and wines. The closest parking lot charges $4 an hour. There's limited street parking. This place wasn't anything special, but a solid option for happy hour or post-work drinks. ”
