Description

Until the recent gastropub revolution, the food at most pubs in England may have fully justified everything ever muttered in a dark moment about British food. The King’s Head, a dank, overcrowded expat hangout near the Santa Monica Promenade, is no gastropub, but it does serve some of the best beer in town. The food is, unfortunately, all too authentic, pasties and bangers and such, but the fish and chips are everything you could wish for, sweet fillets of North Sea cod, enrobed in light batter and fried to a delicate crunch.

You can eat in either the main dining room or the bar - but I prefer the bar so I can watch whatever soccer might be on, pump quarters into the jukebox and play darts. This ex-pat hang-out is the best place in LA for authentic pub food, especially fish & chips. I always order the queen's portion so I have room to start with their delicious New England clam chowder. Top it off with a pint (or two or three) and I am full and happy and totally back in touch with my British roots!

it's a true pub - guinness, darts and "british food" - once you step in - you'll see what I mean. It's a tiny place and it's great place for a bit of crack.
