On a recent trip to Hollywood I ducked into Dillon’s for a beer and a quick bite.  A sign outside proclaimed “$3 beers.”  How could it miss?  The place is decked out in dark wood, in just the way you would expect and “Irish Pub” to be, but somehow with the high ceilings and flat screen TVs it felt oddly cold and corporate.  Maybe the all female waitstaff in short skirts and knee high socks is the draw here? 

I tried the Avocado Fries and the Slider Sampler.  The Avocado Fries are just what they sound like, slices of avocado breaded and deep fried.  They were okay, but ultimately not as good as regular old potato fries.  The Slider Sampler was 4 sliders: a mundane pulled pork slider, a dry salmon slider, a Kobe beef slider that tasted like a frozen ground beef patty, and an inedible turkey slider.

Dillon’s Irish Pub may be a fine place for a cheap pint before catching a play at the Pantages, but in a town full of bars serving more unique beers, places with many more beers on tap and other spots to watch sports while eating delicious food, it is hard to recommend you head to Hollywood just for Dillon’s.
