So many games to play with and many references in the menu! I love this place to hang out with friends or go on a date. Sometimes too loud, and the food is on and off in taste but the drinks are always wonderful.Food: 4/5 View all feedback.
What Kevin Mendoza dislikes about Guildhall:
I have to give it 3 stars just due to the fact that I had invited some friends to come and spend some time as a group here and someone clogged the restroom so we had to leave. Only spent 30mins max, had 1 drink and a burger. Felt very rushed. No fault to the staff, just nasty guests who decide they can trash restrooms without repercussions, which is a same because the Juicy Lucy (burger) was delicious, as were the Ze... View all feedback.

This was my first visit, and I discovered the place while searching for board game cafés. It was delightful! The woman at the bar was not only fun but also very helpful, contributing to a fantastic atmosphere. I appreciate that it's 21 and over, as it helps keep the younger crowd away. They offer a good selection of games, and you’re welcome to bring your own. I will definitely be coming back!
Games, drinks, food, and friends—Guildhall offers everything you need. You can enjoy a card game while sipping on soda, and take down dragons while snacking on tater tots. Grab your dice and some pals to run a one-shot campaign, or enjoy the patio. It's definitely a beloved spot in Burbank, with a fantastic atmosphere.
The tea candle on the meat plate is not made of wax but butter fat that you can dip everything in as it melts. I could not stop talking about it. Delicious and fun to eat. Burgers and beer are all spot on. Very friendly patrons and staff. They have type of board and card game you can imagine. If I lived in Los Angeles, I would come to this bar every week. Great fun and good.
Love Guildhall. Delicious food, good selection of board games, and numerous TVs with a variety of twitch streams. Best of all is the staff. Every single person on staff is amazing and they genuinely care about the people that walk through their doors. If any of that sounds interesting, I highly recommend.
Love the atmosphere and the staff. The food and beer is good too. They just don't have very much seating. We go on Tuesday nights and often take the last table. The patio is a nice extension but the atmosphere of the gamer bar goes away out there a bit. Overall, really like this place.

The atmosphere here is fun and welcoming, with bartenders who go above and beyond to make you feel acknowledged, which I really appreciate. However, it's important to note that Guildhall functions primarily as a sports bar, featuring esports and Twitch streams on every screen, in addition to offering food and games. I enjoyed the Grim Fandango cocktail, though many of the signature cocktails have some rather unique flavors. One thing I observed is that there's a distinct divide between patrons there for the food and drinks versus those focused on games and streaming. Unfortunately, there's no clear separation, resulting in a situation where people eat greasy food with their hands while playing board and card games.
This is a very popular taco restaurant. I was in the area so I decided to get some tacos.The place itself is simplistic with artwork and a lovely mural on the wall. Open kitchen. The service is good, but not always lively. At times the energy of the staff is low.I ordered the steak piccata tacos and a Armondo Palmetto. Same take of the Arnold Palmer drink. These tacos are yummy. So much flavor. The drink is great too!Overall this place hits the spot. I gave it a four star, because the restaurant was an ice box when it was cold out and the energy of the staff. Definitely recommend the shrimp tacos too! Buen provecho!!!
My favorite place! They stream twitch and d&d on their tvs, there are tons of games, they're food is phenomenal and the drinks are plenty! I love going here!Food: 5/5
I ordered the smash burger and garlic fries. The burger was juicy and incredibly fresh, while the garlic fries were packed with flavor! Delicious! The service was outstanding. I would give this place 5 stars if the seating were more comfortable. As for dietary restrictions, there are plenty of gluten-free vegetarian options available.

I don't visit as often as I would like, but I truly love this place! The staff is always incredibly courteous, and the drinks and food are consistently spot on. I've never been to a restaurant that serves sweet potatoes, so that was a delightful surprise. Thank you for continuously raising the bar!
Guild Hall feels like a fantasy cone true. Not in that dragons waiting to kill us around the next corner way, but in the way that I have only recently come to understand. It 's a place of community. After 2020, I have found myself craving nerdy spaces and Guild Hall has consistently been the answer for that. I want to go to a bar where the overheard conversation from the next table is about the merits of Charizard over Blastoise. I want to drink something named after a video game that i played until my hands hurt. Guild Hall feels like home.
Finally, a wonderfully inclusive, friendly, and uniquely nerdy bar experience! From tabletop games to Twitch streams and stylish cocktails, this place has it all. The prices are reasonable, the drinks are excellent, and there's plenty of space to relax, both indoors and outdoors, where the food is also delicious. The atmosphere is incredibly welcoming to all individuals, with no gender bias, making it very LGBTQ+ friendly. The staff is outstanding and truly dedicated to ensuring a fantastic bar experience while managing everything efficiently. I highly recommend checking it out and supporting this amazing spot!
Great place to drink and nerd out. You can watch the live streams they have playing while enjoying a cold one or play from a wide selection of board games. My favorite things to eat while I'm here are the garlic fries, sweet potato tater tots and the cheese board. Easy recommendation to anyone.
Interesting, elegant, weird, sophisticated, hyper local, extremely diverse, all-inclusive, and absolute non-stop fun. A much needed experience for anyone. Guildhall has quickly become one of my new favorite spots, and one visit is all it takes to see this. From the moment you walk in the door any one of the amazing Guildhall team immediately makes you feel welcome and invited. The atmosphere of an upscale bar with the attitude of a gamers ' den is just the beginning of what you 'll feel during your visit. All of the TV 's are playing Esports from Twitch (forgive me as I 've just learned about this tonight! and just around the corner from the bar/kitchen area is a large wall shelf filled with almost any board game you could want. I 've posted a photo of this beauty below. The atmosphere is one you don 't want to leave and it 'll keep you coming back time and time again. Even though that in and of itself is enough to warrant a 5 star review, the food and menu deserves a separate 5 star review as well. The kitchen has been consistent each time I 've been here in both haste and quality. You know exactly what you 're getting and you can actually expect it to be like that the next time you order it. The menu, while simple, is not so simple in taste and quality. The chicken tenders aren 't like any I 've ever had and I 've found myself craving them already. I know, but just wait until you try them... The ultra juicy chicken strips are covered with a DELICIOUS house made mixture of finely ground corn tortilla chips and dry buffalo seasoning and then deep fried to provide an incredibly delightful crunch full of flavor and kick that makes you want another bite before you 've even finished the one you just took. Everything I 've tried here has given me an experience that I 've truly enjoyed. All in all, come here. Eat. Play. Watch. Enjoy. I 've found my new spot, so if you see me here, say hello! I need to get back to my chicken strips now...
