Under new management, bartenders are nice. Tried a few drinks I usually don’t have and they were great! The buns are amazing !! Plenty of screens for game

This place is amazing and the owners/workers are very honest and hard working. I got the burger and the buns and both were delicious. I will definitely be coming back.

Absolute worst bar experience for watching a football game at Laces: two reasons1. Sound: Endured the entire Lions vs. 49ers NFC Championship with Laces blaring a radio station, drowning out game commentary in a cacophony of overly obnoxious music.2. Food: LACES WILL NOT SERVE YOU FOOD WITHOUT A TABLE, yet 40% of tables are reserved. Zero chance for a midday game meal. To add insult to hunger, the bar staff, excluding two decent souls, were rude and snooty, exacerbating the already problematic bar setup.

This sports bar is a nice bar to sit and watch a game in! Their food is pretty good. Would definitely come back here! Worth a shot if you wanna watch a game

If I could give this place zero stars I would. If you're looking for food that is equivalent to school cafeteria food then look no further. Not one thing was good, not one. It was actually repulsive tbh. The service was also terrible, rude and unhelpful servers. A true disgrace. I can't believe this nasty place has 4.5 stars on yelp, they must have bought bot reviews.

The first time my best friend and I came here was during the NBA playoffs and it was popping! We liked the service and the vibe of the two-story bar so we recently dropped by again when the Lakers were playing in-season. I called ahead, around 5pm, to ask if I needed a reservation. They said they weren't expecting it to be too packed so I should be okay walking in. When we arrived around 6:30, the place was almost empty. There were 2 other parties on the couches, a table with 4 guests, and the 3 of us at the bar. The servers are super sweet and attentive! We ordered some drinks and food - everything arrived very quickly. The drinks were not bland and they tasted almost exactly as described on the menu. I ordered a green jolly rancher (?), and it was a little too sour. The nachos were not soggy and had plenty of toppings. The bao buns are soft and filled plenty with meat. We tried one of each and thought all of them were flavorful. The parking lot is a bit chaotic... but we took a rideshare so it wasn't too bad!
A "Sports bar" without ESPN+, and can't show different games on different TV's isn't a good place to go to try and watch a game, unless I guess your one game on basic cable happens to be on.

Yes to LAces!!! I've been here a couple times to watch football now since my Seahawks are having a painful season. It's so nice to have a closer sports bar with a lot of TVs on. I'd rather be here than BWW.... for instance. There's a local Seahawks bar in Culver City but I don't want to get all the way to westside for all the games. The food is great and they have great beers on tap. I usually just stick with my Modelo :) The burger was awesome and the furikake yoshi fries were so yummy!! They also have food offerings from the Bun Shop if you want baos with your football. Bernie is fantastic and I adore her! Thank you LAces for bringing a legit sports bar with great beer and food to Ktown! We needed a place like this in the neighborhood!

Attractive space full of music that's battling with sports in television. The heart and love is missing in it's bun sandwiches is what attracted me to this place. Rich in flavor and dynamic in texture, it's lost at its cold buns. Great selection of spirits and friendly staff. May give a second chance in the future.

A great spot overall. Koreatown was in need of a great sports bar. The atmosphere here is always a good time. I have gone back in multiple occasions and each time is great. I have tried a variety of different drinks and each one has been delicious in its own way. If I had to choose a favorite drink, I would say their Mai Tai! or maybe their Michelada? They both are great drinks. They have a huge variety of different drinks and beers so you can't go wrong. Their food comes from The Bun Shop, which is also delicious. As for service, the employees have always been really nice and attentive. It's hard to find a bar that has these quality's especially when it is busy, so I appreciate them always staying on top of it. Will continue to keep coming here when around. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
