About Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar
Dogs are welcome at Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar, a restaurant and bar on W Olympic Blvd at LA Live in Los Angeles, within walking distance of the Convention Center and Crypto.com Arena, so it fills up ahead of Lakers games and conventions. The kitchen works across global comfort fare, from Korean Ribeye Bibimbap to pot roast and Fettuccine Alfredo, with burgers such as a bison and a BBQ version served with fries, and sandwiches including a Cuban and a turkey club. A soup and salad lunch special pairs options like tortilla soup with tots. The bar pours craft beer, sangria, and cocktails including a pineapple mojito and a hibiscus margarita, along with a margarita flight. Guests are seated by a hostess and served at the table, and the breadth of the menu suits groups ordering in different directions. The dining room opens daily, and desserts run to a s'mores plate.

Customer Review Summary
Servers draw the most consistent praise here, described as attentive without hovering, quick with recommendations and quick to top up in house brewed coffee even when the room is busy. Close behind is the breadth of the menu: diners single out the Pot Roast Beef Sandwich as rich and tender, the Blackened Shrimp Tacos as nicely spiced and fresh, and burgers that arrive hot with crispy fries, including a BBQ burger cooked to order and a bison burger. Others mention a Cuban Sandwich, deviled eggs, fresh fried potato chips with sauce, and a chocolaty s'mores dessert. Drinks recur too, with a pineapple mojito, hibiscus margarita, sangria and a margarita flight all named. Several call the atmosphere relaxed, cozy and family friendly, with a noise level low enough for conversation, and a few visiting from the Convention Center or a Lakers game say the prices felt reasonable. One reviewer describes the visit as an awful experience from the start and says they will not return, without elaborating.

“Had a great meal here. The Pot Roast Beef Sandwich was rich and super tender, packed with flavour. The Blackened Shrimp Tacos were also a standout, nicely spiced and really fresh. Solid food, good vibe, and service was on point. Would come back.”

“I can’t believe it took me 7 years of living in Downtown LA to finally experience Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar at LA Live—but I’m glad I finally did. From the moment I walked in, I could tell this place lives up to the reputation people have …”

“I went during one of the rainy weeks and the service was great. The hostess was very nice and able to seat me pretty quickly. I ended up ordering one of the specials and really loved the attention to detail and how clean everything was. My server was also a delight. He made sure my coffee was always topped up. They brew the coffee in house and it smelled amazing and felt really comforting. The s’mores dessert was great too, very chocolaty with a good marshmallow flavor. The burger was a great size and came out hot with crispy fries. Overall, I had a really good experience and would definitely go again.”
