Schwartz and Sandy’s

I'm a fan of the show but I'm gonna leave an honest review tonight because the staff really deserve it!

Highlight of the night was definitely Hector! He rules, he took such good care of us!! Skylar was our server and was also amazing! The hostess was also very nice and welcoming. Honestly, all the staff are wonderful.

We had the chicken & waffles, the tahini caesar, and two rounds of the sliders because they were so good! I wouldn't say the food deserves any sort of prize, but for a bar in LA it's pretty damn good.

We tried one of the cocktails, the Fresh Start. It was yummy, light, and fruity. I wish they had something a little stronger though on the cocktail list though, but thats just me!

The bar on the inside is beautiful. I know people harp on the design because of the whole mushrooms vibe but there's plenty of seating and it's super comfortable. The space is honestly laid out very well. The bar area gets a little crowded at times, but if you're looking for a quiet spot to just sit and talk you can always go outside to the patio!

My only con is that the prices are a little steep ($15-$18 for a cocktail, mid-$20s for the dishes). But with the cost of rent in LA these days I'm not going to knock them for it!

I am new to the neighborhood and discovered this amazing place. On the outside I thought it was a dive bar. Then you go in and it's a gorgeous lounge. The combo makes it seem like a special hideaway. There's like a tropical theme and the lighting is perfect!

A great place to hang with friends after work or for a date night. You get an elevated experience without it feeling stuffy. The crowd is chill. The women's bathroom is clean and well-maintained.

I am crazy about their lobster corndogs, and one of the salads was tasty, a lot of menu items seem good I just haven't tried them yet. I like that they have a mezcal cocktail, each time I've ordered the Wendy Peppercorn, it's a beauty.

Service has been stellar each time I've gone. Friendly and welcoming!

I feel as though a lot of these reviews here are not genuine so wanted to leave an honest review. We are fans of the show, but I'm also a fan of good food and drinks and would be honest if it was terrible. However, I was pleasantly surprised by how good our food and drinks were! We went for a watch party and the place was really busy but our server Hector was great at checking in on us. I tried several cocktails-the arugula wakening, midnight Madagascar, and the fresh start-these were all really good! I will say the menu is pretty limited overall but particularly the cocktail/drink list. There were only four cocktails listed and no wine/beer options listed.

For food, we had the lobster corn dogs (good I think? But an odd combo), chicken and waffle bites, steak and frites, and tahini Cesar salad (nice larger portion). All around, food was pretty solid!

Most importantly, Tom Schwartz was there and was super gracious. He was very kind about taking pictures with and greeting everyone, never making it seem an inconvenience to anyone.

Overall, I had fun and enjoyed everything we had! It's a cool, little place and hope they consider expanding their menu, especially with drinks, a bit!

After a day of hitting almost everything Pump related, this was the cherry on top! Completely different vibe than the other restaurants the fans are going to hit, but it's completely on purpose. It's not meant to be pretentious, but a chill neighborhood vibe. We were there on a Saturday night and there was a DJ. I really don't know how else to describe it - you just feel welcome.

Greg was so nice and chatted with us about biz and the boys. Schwartz was like a hummingbird mingling, taking pics, and pouring shots.

Lots of places for pics, selfies, etc.; staff is so nice; guy checking IDs at the door starts the vibe and he was a hoot! We didn't have food as we had just eaten a big meal and only stopped in for drinks, but the food looked delish.

This is a must visit for all the fans, it's worth the trip! You won't want to miss it. And if you can go on a Tuesday, even better for a watch party!

Recommend reservations on Resy.
They have a really small parking lot so I recommend battling it out for neighborhood parking.
The restaurant was a lot smaller than expected so definitely expect an intimate vibe-- I would say 25 tables at most. Otherwise, it's definitely trendy with a dive bar feel. Nothing glamorous like LVP restaurants or Tom Tom.

The menu is limited but we were actually really surprised at how good the food was. What we found interesting is that a majority of the dishes came with sauces and it really made the dishes unique. The shoestring fries($8) sounded so basic but the cherry sauce was delicious. We loved the juicy Lucy sliders ($16) cooked well and filling. The chicken waffle bites ($15) with the honey drizzled was my favorite. The mushroom Gruyère beignets($16) were different wasn't too crazy about them with the lemon cream.

The drinks were a bit underwhelming for myself which was the only ding of the night. I love the drinks at Tom Tom and thought it would be similar vibe but was pretty basic. Nothing to write home about. The drinks were $15 and up.

Service was solid. Our waitress was basically handling one side of the restaurant by herself as she had a call out and they were short staffed. Appreciate she was honest and we definitely gave her grace about it. Otherwise, this is a fun place to get a bite to eat with friends or a date night if you are a pump rules fan. I was unable to leave a review in July due to Yelp banning reviews because of the scandoval situation so I deleted my food photos but my tik tok has it all. Overall, I enjoyed myself!

I made reservations with low expectations, and if I'm honest, they were not surpassed! My friend and I touched down in LA on a crisp Wednesday night in early November, securing a reservation around 9 pm. Upon entering, we discovered a nearly deserted restaurant! The menu was slim and the drink selection had items marked with tape, signaling their unavailability which was kind of funny. Surprisingly, they were also out of Tito's! I opted for their version of an espresso martini, which, at $18, proved somewhat underwhelming.

For our adventure with the food menu, we decided on the mushroom gruyere beignets, lobster corndog, and butternut squash cacio e pepe. Regrettably, these dishes failed to whet our appetites!

On a positive note, the server and hostess were outstanding, exuding warmth and friendliness. The decor, although charming and perfectly aligned with my taste, garnered mixed reviews from my gal pal, who found it a tad too all over the place.

If I found myself in the area, I'd go back for a drink or two but skip the food!

We made a reservation in advance just in case it would be busy for a Friday night. We pulled into the small lot and were lucky to find a spot to park. It's in a small strip shopping center so unexpected. The front does have a cute sign.

We were able to get seated right away even though we were a little early. Our server also was super friendly.

I ordered the butternut squash pasta and my fiancé got the salmon tikka masala. Both dishes were very tasty. We both ate all of it. The pasta was light. The salmon was cooked well and good flavors. The only weird thing was the pasta was about the same price as the salmon which I find strange.

Interior decor was fun. Drink menu had 2-3 drinks taped over so not as many available as maybe they typically would.

Fun and psychedelic ! ‍
I went for a watch party and it was very hard to get to the bar. But that's to be expected. Everyone was super nice and friendly! The host was super sweet and grabbed me a water.
Thanks for letting me meet yall! And giving so much of yourselves to this bar!

Came here from the show VPR and absolutely loved it. The inside was absolutely beautiful....stunning honestly. A lot of detail and super clean. The detail on the ceiling in the bathroom area was extremely creative ( TV w animations ) We sat ourselves due to no hostess and went to the bar, got our drinks really fast. The drinks were strong and very tasty, we got a few shots that were pretty big. The only complaint I could say is it smelt a little like cigarettes.
Nice cozy place for drinks and would come back and recommend to non-VPR watchers.

Went to Schwartz and Sandy's during the VPR viewing party, so it was super busy with tons of people having a blast. And both Toms were there and were super nice and chatty. I thought just being bar owners they would be douchey, let alone being on a tv show with everyone desperate for their attention but they were the complete opposite.

I had The Starter drink and it was delicious. Ordered the lobster corn dogs and Ahi TarTare (tacos) and they were also delicious. Once we were able to get a seat, Hector became our server and he was awesome, nice and attentive.

Obviously from the pictures this place has a beautiful interior. The outside is what people say it is but there are other boutique stores with most being catered to pets so I thought that was cute.

I thought I was just going to come here for a one and done experience but I am for sure coming back and trying other foods on the menu.
