About Robin Hood British Pub

Authentically British from the “draught” beers to the darts (not machines, but real darts and dartboards), to the homemade pink-and-yellow-checkered, marzipan-wrapped Battenburg cake that accompanies afternoon tea, Robin Hood British Pub has been a Valley home-away-from-home for relocated Brits for nearly 30 years. It has also been a faithful stand-in as a mini-visit to London for local Anglophiles craving homemade chicken curry pie or true fish ‘n chips.

Londoners Michael and Lorraine Williams began Robin Hood 30 years ago when they bought a run-down beer bar in Sherman Oaks and converted it into a casual place for brews and burgers. After a few years, they added British comfort foods to the menu and began making their own tartar sauce (it’s been getting rave reviews ever since) to accompany the house favorite, fish ‘n chips. Michael, a former pub professional in England, brought in classic draft British beers. An appreciative clientele took root and has been evolving ever since; newcomers and regulars, British and American, unite at Robin Hood in their love of good British food, drink, and camaraderie.

Great Game in a packed house tonight. The High Tops and Human Targets doubled out of the gate, while Mental Floss and Here for the Beer successfully doubled the 2nd, and all four teams were off to the races. The four teams were neck and neck through rd 4.

Round 5 saw some separation, as Floss and Beer successfully doubled, staying in a dead heat. Target and Tops matched each other , but would have to work to bridge the gap. Meanwhile, plodding along like the tortoise, Knights Who Say Ni slid up on the outside.

Round 6 put the brakes on everyone , as Floss and Tops scored zeros, while Beer and Targets managed 2 & 3, respectively. Knights lost the chance to make headway with only a single point.

Round 7 saw many successful doubles. Of our five contenders Tops, Targets, and Knights were all successful. Floss and Beer did not attempt doubles, but both scored 8s in the round to keep their positions.

All things being equal in the last round, Beers 2 and Floss's 0 in rd 6 was the difference, giving Beers the win. Same story with Targets (3) and Tops (0), leaving Tops a nose short for 3rd place. Knights lack of giddyup in rd 6 also brought them up short.

1=Beers, 2=Floss, 3=Targets. Congrats to Here for the Beer!!
