Not to mentioned the large TVs that line the bar making it prime real estate for any game, match or competition you want to see. They pride themselves on their extensive drink menu which includes over 70 craft, foreign and domestic beers, and 20 on tap. Be sure to take advantage of their 7 day a week happy hour, featuring half off appetizers and $2 off specialty drinks. Their food is delicious and they have great prices when it's not happy hour. The food is delicious and they have great prices. The place is pretty quiet during weeknights and then it can be hard to even find a seat on a Friday or Saturday night, but that's pretty much true of any bar you walk into on a weekend. If you're looking for more than a dive bar to watch your favorite game, but still seek an exciting atmosphere to hang out with your friends then Mad Bull's is definitely place to go.
The portraits of bulls fighting on the wall alone are worthy of stopping by. Where else can you see that in LA?
Though the bar is located on Ventura Blvd, parking is still generally easy to find. There is a small structure right next door if you want to valet your car. Or you can park on the metered spots right out front, or a block or two over on the side streets if you want to avoid paying for parking altogether.
