If you are looking for a pint, wish some great views of the mostly sunny Orange County then look no further! I love that it's a quick location to grab a drink with a decent amount of seating. From my experience the service is usually pretty quick as they understand you are in the airport and may need to jet off to your destination. Addition to being speedy, they are usually pretty friendly. If you like beer, then stop on by while in John Wayne airport.

Had a great time here waiting for my flight out of LA. Myself & the bartender invented a new signature cocktail while I was there It’s called the Jack London. Ask about it,

My go to bar whenever I go to John Wayne airport. Friendly staff, bunch of tables and seating at the bar. There's always a special going with beer and shot. I highly recommend doing the combo beer and shot of liquor before boarding your flight.

Took a red eye out to Orlando and stopped by for a drink. The bartender is super friendly. Decent selection of beer and wine. Worth a visit if you have some time to kill at LAX.

They stole $140+ from me on a $30 tab with tip and are impossible to get ahold of to remedy the theft by their bartender. Messed up my reservation and embarrassed me while I had to transfer money for a reservation at my destination overseas with terrible WiFi service. They’re bad people.

Not aure @ what time they close but the bartender said he couldn't make me a drink because he was close but when I walked away I saw him making drinks to 3 different ppl, I just wanted one shot and close my tab nothing fancy or hard to make

we have too much time before our flight so we decided to stop in. i ordered a screwdriver and shirley temple and paid $27. i probably won't be back.
I honestly haven't been since the pandemic started however I just realized I never completed a review of this fave Hollywood restaurant. I know the group that operates this from my years growing up in Chicago and know first hand that they fulfill the high bar pillars of customer service. The food is outstanding with creative thin crust pizza plus a whole lot more. Although I do love their salads, I really can't turn down the veggie pizza options as they've always been a home run for me and my fellow diners. High standards here.

Stella Barra has delicious pizza with a nice casual atmosphere that's not pretentious or snobby. Great to bring out of towners. Make sure to get their chocolate chip cookies too! They are so good.

Waiter got our order wrong in multiple different ways even though we were the only people in the entire restaurant. New outdoor seating doesn't have much ambience at all, would have been nice to have some candles or something. Food was just not as good as usual.

I understand delayed service during Covid. However this was something else. The staff just hung out at the main building and patio was pretty far from that. Service was sporadic and nobody would check up to see if food was okay or if you were ready to place the order. They didn't bother clearing the table in between, there was just no space on the tables with all the drinks appetizer plates. Besides the pizza, all other food was basically microwaved pre-prepared food. Was very disappointed.

Appetizers delivered cold when the Pizza arrived. When asked to remedy, re-deep fried both resulting in greasy stouts and fries. Great drinks. Must have been end of the night and not a concern.
