We stopped at Stout Hollywood Burger and Beer for my birthday and we sat at the bar waiting to be seated. The restaurant was not overly busy or super crowded. The hostess Jade approached us at the bar and started telling us about seating us and the menu. One of my friends was talking to another person in our party and happened to be standing next to the waitress. She turned over to him and put her hand 3 inches away from his face and told him "Excuse, I’m talking!" In other words, telling him to shut up. She walked away and heard our conversation that I was upset about her treating us the way she did and she came up with an attitude and said "Are you staying or leaving? because if your leaving I have other people that can sit at the bar where your sitting!" I couldn’t believe that again she talked to us like that. I turned to her and said "that was really rude. We came here to eat and that’s how you welcome people into the restaurant. No one is drunk here and we’re not your typical drunk customers so how you acted was really rude and we won’t be eating here." She then with a sarcastic smile said "That’s great, I’m sorry but it’s been a hectic night" I told her well it doesn’t give you the right to treat us that way. She gave me a sarcastic smile again and said "Well, I’m sorry but are you leaving, I have other people to seat?!" I was so fed up with her attitude. I just asked for her name and I took my group of 9 and we left. On our way out I saw her high five the Security. There are a ton of places to eat in Hollywood and no one needs to deal with that kind of treatment!

stopped in 1/30/12.... it’s 3am, just left piano bar and i’m hungry ... that’s about all this joint is good for...wait, no. there’s plenty o’ taco trucks around to fill that need....i’ll forgive the elevated pricing.... it is hollywood afterall. but there is no excuse for an unsalted mediocre soul-less burger when that is all you sell! that’s yer fukking name! how do you fuck it up!? stale pretzels!!??? come on, guys!

on the plus side, they do have something like 80 beers... 78 of which are rather forgettable, though.

Surprised this place isn’t trending higher in Rate Beer. We found this place by accident after bailing on Blue Palms. Sure, it’s a bit expensive, but the beer selection here is very impressive. We were looking up everything on Rate Beer, and everything we looked at (half the list) had a rating of over 90.

Two reasons to go here. 1 - It’s 3 or 4 am and you want a burger. 2 - You want to be around Ivar and Selma but not in a club. Beer pretty average. Food not excellent.

Absolutely AVOID this place by ALL MEANS. There are SO MANY better burger places to go to in L.A. - this place should be your last.

Great spot and cool location in the middle of the Hollywood scene. $8 for Green flash IPA in a not so full pint glass - not impressive. Selection is very good but not highly inspired. Food is good but really expensive. Burgers come with no sides so meals get pretty pricey pretty quickly.

Beer Oasis in Hollywood. Lucky to stumble across this after the place we were going to was closed. 30 taps. When I was there they had Greenflash WCIPA, Allagash Curieux, Gubna, Runiation etc etc. Great burgers made fresh. The prices are high - but then again look where it is. Added bonus - beautiful waitresses (if you are in to that - which I most definitely am!).
