Great beer selection that features Belgian and Belgian Style ales. Ask for a taste if you're not sure. Full bar so you can switch to liquor after you get your fill of beer. Little Bear Burger is tops!
Rayshawn WilliamsOctober 10, 2016The Little Bear burger is perfectly juicy, cheesy and seasoned. I usually go for medium but it taste pretty good medium rare.
On the GridNovember 21, 2016Little Bear has an impressive selection of Belgian beers on tap. Pair your drink with the truffle-tastic burger and a side of the slightly sweet balsamic-roasted brussels sprouts. Read more
- They changed up the menu here a bit so it's worth a visit if you haven't been for a while. Theres some new sandwiches and the flat iron steak with mashed potatoes and veggies is spot on.
- Great selection of beers that rotate. Expect Belgian and Belgian style ales. Great liquor selection too. Grab the Brussels sprouts, wings or burger if you feel like a snack.
Lili KoponenOctober 11, 2014Love this bar! So many wonderful beers on tap. Ask your waitstaff for advice. They know their beer! Short Rib grilled cheese was awesome!
Stephanie SzetoDecember 27, 2017Have a leige waffle. Just get the waffle on its own or go for brunch (with fried eggs / maple / bacon, or as a burger bun).
Rebecca MDecember 29, 2016New menu is good, but I miss the old one. Always go for the grilled cheese. Skip the ahi burger--it is dense and dry (although the squid ink bun is interesting for the epicurious.- Rayshawn WilliamsOctober 10, 2016Unless you're a huge fan of sauerkraut, make sure to ask for a little on the pastrami burger. Otherwise you'll get a sauerkraut overload.
Very good Belgian and Belgian-style beers on tap to go with good food. Good place to watch sports.
Susanne AultSeptember 8, 2013If Church and State is a little pricey...and a little date-y come here!!! Bartenders know their shit w Belgium beers. And fun relaxed atmosphere.
R.Murat YilmazJanuary 22, 2015Food is surprisingly solid. Black gnocchi and "the catch" are stand-outs. The complimentary bread and butter are really good also.
Taste TerminalJanuary 13, 2012The perimeter at Little Bear is obviously Belgian beers, the ultimate concept here is for us to find a great synergy between beer and food. Order the "Grilled Cheese Brisket." Read more
Rachel KNovember 8, 2015Fantastic draft beer selection full of sour beers and Belgian beers at reasonable prices.
Christelle Cenatiempo JordaAugust 11, 2013Great carbonnade Flammande & Faro beer, I highly recommend this place !! Industrial atmosphere, a bit noisy but really convivial !
Barry GribbonApril 2, 2012Remember the fries are made in duck fat - that makes them so good. I t also allowed me to steal them off the plate of my vegetarian friend.
Maija CrescentAugust 5, 2016Love the burgers. The interior reminded us of a bar we visited in Belgium.
Tasting TableMay 2, 2012Accompany your beer with a Flanders-style stew. The carbonnade touts tender chunks of ale-braised brisket, mashed turnips and sautéed spinach: Read more
Andy SternbergSeptember 2, 2012The pro scramble is the jam. It may sound boring and too healthy but it's delicious (egg whites, kale, peppers, garlic, chicken)
Jacqueline L.June 12, 2013No happy hour. More than a dozen beers on tap, good selection of bottled Belgians, some spirits.
BoudiccaNovember 24, 2013Sadly the mushroom savory cakes are no longer on the menu. I would pass on the crispy brussel sprouts. The ones at Sixth Street Tavern are far superior.
Michael ShearinJanuary 7, 2012Incredible beer list, maybe the best Belgian list in LA, well thought out spirits too!
The pork belly tacos are a must if you love pairing rich meals with beer.
Tyler TongSeptember 22, 2013They no longer honor the free dessert deal, even though it's still active on foursquare.
Karin TracyJune 1, 2014Fries cooked in beef fat?!? We've eaten these before. Why aren't they labeled as such on the menu for vegetarians? Really disappointed.
Raul SanchezMarch 17, 2013I was expecting a much better beer selection. Not impressed. The female bartender wasn't pleasant either.
The food is not memorable but OK. Since I am not a beer drinker I can't say anything about that part. O

"This place made me crave microbrews. It's a "Father's Office" -esque gastropub with gourmet burgers, beers, and a full bar too. Casual cool place to be in the valley."
