The world would be a better place if every neighborhood had a laid-back hangout like this, where the staff is friendly and the pub grub artisanal. –bon appetit
The Village Idiot is a meeting place, a wine bar, an alehouse, and a lunch, brunch and dinner destination with good honest fare where friends, families and co-workers alike can meet. Open since 2007, The Village Idiot borrows from the modern pub movement and tailors it to fit within its dynamic Melrose neighborhood. Classic cocktails, eclectic wines, and exciting craft beers are on offer. The food, the drinks and the vibe are modern American, but there’s no denying the modern English undertones at play. Tried and true staples like steak and potato pie and fish and chips have anchored the menu for over a decade, but there’s also a pub burger, ale-steamed mussels with garlic croutons, and lots of wood-grilled meats to choose from. We’re also known as one of LA’s best places to watch international soccer.

    The service was shockingly terrible, even though there were barely any other patrons.

    Unfortunately the food was pretty bad. Drinks were good and waitress was nice. Overpriced for such low wailing food.
