"Sports Fan's Dream Place" 11/26/2005

After hearing about Yankee Doodles from a good friend of mine I decided I'd go catch the NFL games on Thanksgiving morning. WOW! The place is great! They have a little something for everyone...TV's (big screens, plasmas, etc) everywhere for the sports fan; video games for the kids 7 gamers; nice patio for the people watchers & smokers; pool tables for entertainment; etc. The service was great, the food was excellent, the bartender's know how to make their drinks & the staff is very friendly! Pros: Lots of TV's, Great Service, Good food & drinks Cons: Crowded, Sensory overload more

Fast Times At Yankee Doodles! 11/26/2005

I would just like to say that my girlfriends and I go to Yankee Doodles for all the big college and NFL games every weekend. The bartenders and managers have also become part of the reason why we go because their always cheering with us and never hold us back from ordering another round. Just this past weekend it was my best friend's birthday and they gave her a little piece of heaven birthday cake and the bar kept the shots comin. Go SC!!! And a shout out to Ohio State for my roomate!!! Pros: Good Parking, Cheap pints, Happy Hour more

The place to go in Santa Monica 11/25/2005

Yankee Doodles is a great place for entertainment! Whether it's the boy's going out to catch a game or play some pool, the girl's going out for some drinks and meeting new people, the family going out for a nice sit-down dinner or you just need a place to relax your feet for a while and do some people watching. Between the multitude of people, the numerous TV's, the many pool tables, the video games, the weekend VJ, the patio, the great food & drinks and the friendly staff you won't be bored or dissapointed! Pros: TV's everywhere..., showing all sports..., all the time. Cons: Walking the Promenade, Paying for parking more

FINE singles at Yankees! 11/25/2005

I went to Yankee Doodles on 3rd street promenade last weekend and was amazed at how many beautiful SINGLE people there were! It's hard to meet people in this town and Yankee Doodles seemed to be loaded with possiblities. (It didn't hurt that the Video DJ kept the place going and the staff was also hot!) Good Times! ;O) Pros: Lots to do!, Video DJ!, Hot people everywhere more

It's a great place to have some beer and watch the game!! The pool tables are plentiful and the best part is you don't EVER have to go to the bar!! There is always a coctail waitress to keep the drinks flowin'! Plus, they're cute! So, how can you go wrong... lots of variety in the beer department, sports, pool tables, and cute girls!! Can't beat that!! more

The Rudest Restaurant / Bar Manager 10/7/2005

I have been to a lot of bars and most of the time, only drunken patrons were the ones who were offensive. Well this time it was the manager. The bartender and the girl in-charge with the pool had to apologize for his unprofessional manner. He yelled at me for not paying the pool rental when in fact i opened a tab with my credit card at the bar. When the bartender explained what was going on, he was just plain unapologetic and arrogant. This guy is manager in the afternoon. I hope owners hear or read about this. Cons: very rude manager, unprofessional manage more

Great Place 9/14/2005

Love this place! The have pool tables, video games, air hockey and numerous TVs with sporting events. Draft beer prices are very reasonable and the food is pretty good. There are 2 floors to choose from, and finding a seat is not an issue. How can you go wrong?! Pros: Lots of TVs, Good Prices, Excellent Atmosphere Cons: Slow Service more

A cool place to go! 3/16/2005

This is a great after hours spot. Yankee doodle's is especially cool if your just looking for a somehting to do on Friday night. The crowd is usually mixed and plays a good variety of music. However, they do tend to be sticker's about enforcing a dress code, so if your not wearing casual dress they may give you a hard time. more

fun spot to shoot pool and grab a bit 3/13/2005

We were shopping on 3rd Street and stopped in for some lunch. I've been here before to watch games. Yankee Doodles is great if you want to watch sports. This is the first time we ate here. The food was good! I had a chicken sandwich. After lunch were shoot some pool and had a fun time. This place is more than a sports bar - food and pool also. more

Big place, a little cheesy 3/8/2005

Perhaps it the location, but I can't take this place seriously. A little too commerical for my taste. They have many screens and tons of tables downstairs, but the crowd seems to mainly consist of tourists. Food is okay - passable for bar food. more

disappointed 6/15/2004

I went to Yankee Doodles to watch Lakers' final game. I went there because I saw it on Citysearch's top 10 list. I felt I've been cheated. The place sucks. Compare to Fox Sports at Irvine this place is so quiet, nobody cheers on anything, everybody just mind their own business. also Fox sports don't need to charge $5 coverage fee, and no $15 min expense per person rule. In general I won't come back to this place again. Pros: Parking, Huge Cons: , Quiet, Expensive more

Not-So-Friendly Confines 10/20/2003

If nothing else, Yankee Doodle serves it's purpose: Bar food, TV's, alcohol, pool, Golden Tee, air hockey, foosball, arcade basketball, video games. The problem, though, is that the service is so frustratingly inconsistent, ranging from, well, unremarkable to down-right rude. Ask a manager to put a particular event on one of the 40+ TV's, and you're as likely to get ignored as you are to get denied. Add to that their use of "special event" (read: higher) pricing for things like the world series, and you get a sense your less a patron and more a source of revenue. Pros: Huge, Plenty to Do, Downstairs Bar Cons: Unfriendly Service, Sub-Par Food, Unfriendly Service more

Bad Service, Bad Food 8/7/2003

When you see Yankee Doodles on 3rd Street, my recommendation is to keep on walking...I know there's better places to eat on 3rd street besides this place. i went for a late lunch on a weekday. there wasnt a lot of people there, but for how long we waited for our food, you would've thought that it was a busy, friday night. by the time the food came, it was just more disappointment. there wasnt a large selection of food to choose from. we ordered calamari for appetizer, then fish & chips and a philly cheesesteak for entrees. they were all horrible. it was comparable to dennys, maybe worse considering the price. it was also service without a smile. Cons: bland food, bad service more
