Ye Rustic Inn is a bar that perfectly serves the hip Los Feliz area. This casual two-room watering hole is a comfortable spot that's welcoming to both the aging regulars and the on-their-way-to-Hollywood younger crowd. The main room has a long, beaten-up bar filled with the kind of extras you only see in an Oliver Stone film. The back room offers booths for a more private night out. You can't build this kind of place—it has to age like fine wine.

one of the best bars of 2005 – Three years ago, my review would have raved about: - $10 pitchers of budweiser - hot, fun and competent service staff - an eclectic mix of regulars - one of the best jukeboxes on the northeast side - wings that can't be beat. Today, in 2008, I can say with confidence that the wings still kick a$$. Aside from that, the bar has gone downhill. Bill and Susan have managed to alienate almost all of their long-time service staff while jacking prices almost 50%. Further, while the bar was once a great... read more
I drive from Boyle Heights for the wings. – This bar is nowhere near my home, yet the flavor and consistency of the wings have me on 'regular' status. Add to this the sports on the TV screen, the clientele (a good mix between creative types, IATSE-types, contractors, and other professionals) and it makes for an interesting hang. The only thing I would suggest is a deeper wine list, but it really ain't that type of bar. This is more a a beer & whiskey place (the whiskey selection is pretty awesome). The wings taste GREAT with... read more
Use to be a cool Dive-bar – I use to love this place. Perfect for football Sunday's or just stopping by for a night cap. But recently the they hired a bunch of new waitresses who are non-attractive and walk around with a Shiit-face! Not only do they have attitude, but they tend to not know the menu or demand a ridiculous cork-fee! So, before I would have rated this place a perfect 5.. now I give it a 1 because of the ugly waitresses they have.
BEST BUFFALO WINGS IN LOS ANGELES - and I lived in Buffalo, NY once. – SLAM DUNK!!!! I grew up in Webster, NY and went to college in Buffalo, NY (1983-1987) so I've known some great Buffalo Wings. And having moved to Los Angeles in 2005, I've been discouraged with the wings here. I even tried the fabled "Hoagies and Wings" but they were extremely small wings (almost a joke) and dry. Very disappointing. So, today during the Patriots/Chargers game I came online and read some reviews and was shocked to hear that the BEST wings ... read more
Watch your wallet/purse. – Ah the Rustic. Be verrrrry careful with your credit card especially if you have a tendency to booze it up. The staff routinely over charges and slips drinks on to your tab. If you can keep it cash you'll have a good time. Otherwise, expect to be over charged by at least twenty bucks, especially in big parties. Seems like it's gotten worse in the last year.
Overall Great Bar - but too loud, and too many club tracks on the jukebox – There are so many great things about this place- fun, friendly bartenders, great bar food (especially the hot wings!!), good mix of people, dim divey lighting, great bar to sit at and a jukebox. My only problem with this place is the music situation. First there's the decline in the quality of music offered on the jukebox. Where there used to be classic rock, there is now club mixes made by the bartenders. (What happened to the Led Zeppelin?) And whi... read more
Lost my credit card – Disappointing. The waitress lost my credit card and after many inquiries, they showed me a charge to my card that was signed by someone else and had a large tip added. Pay with cash and monitor your bill carefully, if you go.
Beware – Downside: That last review is correct about not giving them your credit card, you also have to charge a minimum of $15! Even if you pay with cash, they'll sometimes shave a little off the top just for fun. It happened to a friend of mine I was there with. He gave the girl bartender a $100 bill and only got change for a $20. Of course you can't really dispute it because there is no way to keep track. Then again, opportunists are everywhere not just at the Rustic. LOL. So, yes, just be careful. Upside: The place can b... read more
Beware... – Don't give them your credit card. Pay with cash. Otherwise they'll run your card up with charges for drinks you never even ordered.
