Quick info
About Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar
Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar is a relaxed, lodge-chic chain spot in Los Angeles serving global comfort fare that spans stir-fries, pot roast and pastas. Much of its character comes from a broad menu built around familiar dishes with international twists, served in a setting designed for casual meals and drinks. The signature dish is Korean Ribeye Bibimbap, while the Southern Fried Chicken Salad anchors the lighter mains and the Honey Teriyaki Bowl Lunch Portion offers a smaller-format option. The bar and restaurant format means guests can pair these mains with drinks in a single visit, and reservations are advised during busier times.

“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.”
