Barney's Beanery - Westwood, a Near Replica of Storied Roadhouse/Celebrity Restaurant, Hits One-Year Anniversary

WESTWOOD, Calif., May 31, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Barney's Beanery-Westwood (www.barneysbeanery.com), a near replica of the venerable roadhouse/famed celebrity hangout diner and top rated sports bar, celebrated its first anniversary and success with students recently in the heart of Westwood Village, home to the UCLA Bruins.

Located just a block south of UCLA, the roadhouse diner - complete with road signs, multiple plasma screens, wall hung music and sports mementos, and a ceiling of battered license plates – has become a popular stomping ground day and night, and between classes, students, tourists and sports fans.  The food, as always, is pure American comfort, with breakfast served at all hours: world famous burgers, pizza, burritos and its claim to fame, "Second Best Chili in Los Angeles."

The original West Hollywood Beanery has been long known for its history as a gathering place beginning with early glamour day movie idols including Greta Garbo and Clark Gable, and later counterculture musicians like Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix. The West Hollywood venue is still going strong with regulars like Drew Carey, Adam Sandler, Johnny Depp and Quentin Tarantino, and a slew of notables that reads like the nightly guest list of Jimmy Kimmel Live.

In addition to nearly 100 plasma screens strategically located for viewing throughout the two-story eatery, the diner also offers fans a section of actual stadium seating in front of a giant-screen TV cordoned off.  The mega TV screens and countless cheering sections have been a big draw during UCLA football and basketball games. To quench thirsts, Barney's Beanery boasts a choice of close to 200 imported and domestic beers with 40 available on tap.  

This newest venue is restaurant number five.  It follows the success of Barney's Beanery in Santa Monica's Third Street Promenade, which opened in September of 2004; on Colorado Boulevard in Old Town Pasadena which opened in May of 2006; and at the Burbank Collection which opened in January of 2009.

Barney's Beanery Westwood is located at 1037 Broxton Avenue, in the heart of Westwood.  The phone number is (310) 443-7777.  For more information, visit www.barneysbeanery.com, and follow Barney's on Twitter, or friend us on Facebook.
