Tipsy Cow is Sherman Oaks' reliable gastropub on Ventura

Tipsy Cow sits on Ventura Boulevard and does a few things well: burgers, a long craft beer list, and signature cocktails, all inside a space with quirky retro decor that gives it a personality most neighborhood bars skip. Over 1,100 Google reviews at 4.3 stars is a honest signal that people come back.

The price point is reasonable for what it is, the kitchen covers brunch and breakfast in addition to the usual gastropub menu, and there is a patio if you want to be outside. It works for groups, takes reservations, and handles takeout and delivery if you are not coming in. Nothing here is hard to figure out. It is a solid neighborhood spot that earns its crowd.
