British Pub · Studio City · Los Angeles
The Fox and Hounds
A proper British pub on Ventura Blvd, where 16 imported drafts, twice weekly pub quizzes, and weekend fry ups keep the Valley's expats loyal.
The Pitch
The Valley's London Local
The Fox and Hounds holds down 11100 Ventura Blvd in Studio City as the most committed British pub on the Valley side of the hill. The full bar runs 16 imported drafts with another dozen in bottles, and the kitchen serves English breakfasts that draw weekend queues.
Time Out Los Angeles lists it among the city's reliable pubs, and The Infatuation includes it in its best LA sports bars guide for early morning Premier League matches. Doors open at 10am on weekends for exactly that reason.
Who would hate it? Anyone hunting a cocktail list. The bar pours pints and well drinks and feels no shame about it.
The Room
Dark Wood, Dart Boards, Match Flags
The room runs long and dark in proper pub fashion, wood panelling and club flags over a horseshoe bar, with a patio out back that Yelp reviewers consistently call the best seat for a Sunday roast. More than 700 Yelp reviews keep the rating steady, a rare feat for a pub this old fashioned.
The Drinks
Pints First, Everything Else Second
Order off the import taps. Fuller's, Guinness, and a rotating English cask style pour anchor the 16 lines, with pints landing under $10 and happy hour running noon to 5pm on weekdays.
Pair the pint with fish and chips, the kitchen's benchmark order, or come Saturday morning for the full English with black pudding. Skip the American macro taps entirely; you did not drive to a British pub for those.
The Crowd
Expats, Quizzers, and the 7am Soccer Shift
Expats and Studio City regulars share the rail most nights, and pub quiz takes over Monday and Wednesday from 8pm to 10pm. On big match mornings the room fills before sunrise, per The Infatuation's soccer bar roundup.
What regulars say:
- The pub quiz is competitive enough to need a ringer, a recurring theme across Yelp reviews.
- Reviewers on Tripadvisor rate the English breakfast the most authentic in the Valley.
- Time Out flags it as one of the few LA pubs that gets the details right.
Who it is for:
- Premier League diehards who need a 7am pint
- Quiz teams with a grudge to settle
- Avoid if you want craft cocktails; Harvard & Stone handles that across the hill
The Verdict
Where It Lands
The best British pub in the Valley and one of the most convincing in Los Angeles. Come for the match, stay for the quiz, leave full of fried bread.
