Century Taproom

Very nice place located inside of the Crown Plaza Hotel where I am staying. Only having a few glasses of wine but all is good. Service is on point and it’s nice and clean. They have nice comfortable seating areas around the dining room so it’s nice if your alone and not wanting to sit at a table. A lot of flat screen TVs to enjoy the game on. I’ll be back.

We had a look at the café downstairs first but they do more takeaway foods and pizza, I wanted to sit down and enjoy Christmas lunch so we went to Taphouse.
Considering it is Christmas Day the restaurant was busy. There was a steady stream of people and the restaurant was about half full the whole time we were there and we spend a few hours there eating and watching the NBA.
There was a Christmas tree and a few Christmas wine specials too. Christmas music played in the background to make the place feel more festive as well.
I’ve read many negative reviews about Taphouse and I am not sure why. We are Australian so we are use to minimum customer service in most places, this was not the case here. (This is not my first time in the US & yes I do understand that staff in the hospitality industry work hard to get tips) our waitress Cynthia was friendly, helpful by suggesting menu items and keeping us up to date with the progress of our meals and she was quick to refill empty drinks.
The serving sizes were generous, we were well beyond full half way through our meals but plowed through! (For most of it!)
Now the prices… This seems to have got the worst rap on Unilocal reviews I have read. Again, we are Australian so we are use to paying about US$ 90 for what we ate here, (wings, club sandwich, burger, Coke and a beer) the bill came to about US$ 63 but we were given 25% off with the IHG membership.
It’s Christmas Day and I’m assuming there are few things open. The food here was delicious, the service great and the atmosphere good. I would absolutely recommend coming here, I really enjoyed our experience and plan on heading down again for a cocktail later too :)

Great selection of beers. Located in the Crown Plaza Horel. Food prices are a little pricey. 19.00 for a burger. Ouch! I went fir a Stone IPA and a Chinese chicken sslad. Salad was 18.00. Only places around.

Can someone give me a ride? I had to leave an arm and a leg here! $ 28 for a sandwich and a beer. I realize anything around LAX will be expensive, but the food was not that great. Cold soggy fries and cold toast. For $ 28 bucks we all deserve warm toast!

My first impression was this was a cool, trendy looking place. The options are real thin if you stay at any hotel near the airport
In my opinion, the food was average at best. The French onion soup was meh. The onions were barely carmelized and instead of croutons, the bread was plain white baguette. I ordered a Cobb salad $ 22.00 with salmon. The lettuce was old and slightly browned. Bacon was burnt and the avocado was brown as well.
The service I experienced was good. The bartender was courteous and attentive
One interesting item was the music diversity. Live tracks from Dave Matthews, the Who and Eric Clapton.
If I could think of one area they could improve upon would be better food quality. The food leaving the kitchen needs an extra set of eyes put on it.
Overall, I would recommend, but not the French Onion soup or the salad.

Atmosphere: clean, modern, chill area.
Service: awesome! I believe our server’s name was Blandon (not Brandon). He was very entertaining, nice, polite, and efficient.
Food: the angus burger was really good! I had it with Swiss cheese, no onion, and bbq mustard sauce on the side (didn’t know how it would taste at first, ended up being a really delicious sauce!) and I also had sweet potato fries.
I loved my meal and the service, can’t say anything bad about it at all!

Terrible. I didn’t even get a chance to eat the food but the service was so awful we left. My girlfriend and I are beer drinkers and often visit taprooms and breweries whenever we visit a new city. We decided to check out this taproom because we were staying at the hotel. We had to wait 5 minutes before any server spoke to us! Being servers ourselves we thought this was unacceptable. When we were eventually visited by a server my girlfriend asked what stouts they had on tap. The server obviously had no clue what a stout even was and kept assuming she was saying south. She then pointed to the section on the menu that described stouts and asked if they had any again. The server then pointed to the suggested tap list, read down the list and pointed to the only dark beer there; a porter. This restaurant; you can’t even call it a taproom, advertises that they have 30 beers on tap. However, their tap list is about 12 beers long and their service is below par. If anyone is staying at this hotel I suggest you order in. There are better restaurants that deliver and are kinder and cheaper.

It was great to see the Crowne Plaza offer a number of choice venues for dinner without leaving the property. After flying into LAX early evening, by the time we got the rental car and got settled in the room it was quite late and we really didn’t feel like driving or even taking the short walk to a number of well known restaurants in the area?
The hostess seated us immediately and we were greeted by our server both were very friendly and provide a very professional dinner service. We both chose the pulled Rotisserie Chicken Cobb Salad, which was unbelievably good and served in a giant bowl. the lettuce was cold and crisp, and the chicken warm and flavorful and all the topping tasted fresh, the blue cheese crumbles really made this a great salad I prefer ranch dressing with mine with a added drizzle of balsamic. The food came out quick and our server checked in on us a few times afterwards to ensure everything was ok. This is definitely a good option if you’re staying on the property. I’d do it again.

I wouldn’t go for the wings, they are very small and for some reason the bone is black-​ish. It’s a typical hotel bar that delivers Medium food quality, generally boring atmosphere, and extremely overpriced. But when your land locked without a car, it’s an option while staying at the crowne.

The tap room is a really nice place. The atmosphere is open and bright. The bar was filled with hotel guests enjoying drinks and dinner. I ate there twice while staying at the Crowne Plaza. I had the Angus burger with barbecue mayonnaise. It was fabulous. Fresh ingredients with a nice side of fresh fruit. You can also order it with sweet potato fries or regular french fries. It was a little expensive but worth every penny. The burger came with cheese and bacon, onions. You could get it on a roll or wrapped in lettuce. I highly recommend it. The second visit I had the margarita pizza. It was also very fresh and tasty, although it had a little more cheese than I’m used to for a margarita pizza. Not that I’m complaining. The service was fast and friendly. You can also order takeout at the counter, which is convenient and less expensive than room service. They also serve a buffet breakfast in the morning, although I have not tried it. The tap room is definitely worth a visit if you’re staying in the area or at the Crowne Plaza.

I checked out the Taproom, the hotel bar and bistro for the LAX Crowne Plaza, right after arriving. A nice open, clean dining room and well appointed bar. A few TVs for sports. 30 beers on tap with a good variety. The beer-​snob won’t be disappointed, but the regular crowd can still get a Bud Lite.
A couple of folks at the bar were tucking into some very luscious looking pizzas. My antennae went up.
You’d expect the eatery in a mid-​range hotel to do standard «value» fare. Fries from the freezer bag into the fryer, hot, but not fresh. Short order burgers with a piece of iceberg lettuce and a slice of pink unripe tomato. Not so at the Taproom. They’re doing fresh ingredients and real cooking.
The next day, waiting on a delayed flight, I grabbed lunch at the bar. The pizzas here are really terrific. The dough is fresh, house made. Light and fluffy with a nice bit of chewiness in the crust. The veggies were fresh and delicious. Yeah, the sauce was a little sweeter than I prefer, but the pie was a real treat.
Somewhere there is a classroom with a bunch of chefs standing on their desks shouting «Oh Captain, my Captain!» Gordon Ramsey has a tear in his eye as he turns back to thank them. Fresh food. Real ingredients. Nicely done, guys.

I was in the area for a work conference today and had lunch here with a group of coworkers. We were all surprised to see how cute and cozy this place was. Even the menu design was pic worthy! Plus great ambiance and fun music! Definitely a pleasant surprise and a score, considering we were in a neighborhood of airport hotels.
Service was great and the food was pretty yummy. I didn’t order from the hot pasta bar, but it looked really good. My French onion soup was delicious.
I would definitely go back and would like to visit for dinner, because there was a piano in the dining area. So I am guessing someone plays it during dinner time.
I could also try going there just for drinks, since there’s a full bar!

My coworkers and I came here for lunch while attending a conference across the street. We were surprised at how chic and hip the décor was for a hotel by the airport. The entire vibe is great and worth checking out.
I ordered the grilled salmon fillet sandwich which was a little hard to eat since it is a bun with a full fillet. The fries were standard and the house Sauvignon Blanc was okay for $ 10. Then again it is a restaurant in a hotel. A couple of the other girls ordered the hot pasta bar which was really good and fresh.
This place gets 3.5 stars but I’m rounding up since I can’t give a half star and because it has a cool atmosphere.

If you need a little help sleeping after a long day of flying then head down to century taproom. It’s located in the Crowne Plaza which is a decent hotel. The food is decent but it’s a pricey place. The staff is very friendly and its a mellow spot to relax and drink your life away.

It was a quick smooth experience after six hours of flight. Service was professional and the lounge was comfortable, quiet and peaceful.

We had the calamari and a nice craft beer on tap! Then Lynn, our bar tender extraordinaire, recommended the scallops. OMG! Yum! Once the sushi bar opened, we had two rolls and saki. What a great evening!

The food is pretty good.
All staff is very nice and accommodating to all needs.
Nice venue. Good for meetings too

3.5 Stars!
Decent Watering Hole. The décor and service was great. But I only had Wine, cant really judge on their food or cocktail making abilities. A great hotel bar.
Oh yeah, the $ 9 Tempranillo was awesome.

Century Taproom, The menu and the food was very good, fresh ingredients. Their Wood-​fired pizza is highly recommended, I love the Rotisserie chicken, and sandwiches comes with choice of salad or fries. Rotisserie Chicken Salad is my favorite. My friend had an Angus Burger, nice portion and meat was juicy and perfect. This is located inside the Crowne Plaza LAX hotel, new decors, and friendly place. Servers are friendly and professional.
Moderately priced, Validated parking. I recommend it.

Yesterday I had my first experience at this place. I was attending a show — great music, great performances — the only reason I didn’t left before!
At beginning, house couldn’t turn off radio stations — we had first 2 songs with that awkward soundtrack to beautiful live music.
Then… they called the «new place» Tap Room — for just 12 beers? 21 on bottle — most VERY ordinary… so far away from local craft — which I was expecting.
Then food… a beer place with NO FINGER FOOD whatsoever! Ridiculous…
And the cherry on top of the cake… service… they reached the top 3 worst ever… to have my 2^nd beer, took exactly 17 minutes after finishing 1^st, and only because another table sent their server, after watching me waiving to die…
Unless you’re going for the music, and you REALLY like and want to support the musicians… DON’T EVER go to this place!
