The Best Sports Bars in Los Angeles

Elbow Room

★★★★★ 4.6 (394) • $$

"THIS BAR IS THE VIBE! Late night pizza, 2000s pop/punk/alt music, sports on the screens, and enough seating for everyone. Basically my habitat.They sell pizza by the slice or full 20" pie! It was very very good and huge. I had two slices and was in a food coma. There is bar seating, table seating, and also an outdoor patio. For a spot on such a busy nightlife street in Hwood, it was so inviting and chill.Will be back!"

Tribute Hollywood

★★★★★ 4.9 (39)

"Nice contemporary bar. Great for sports, we came early and got breakfast burritos which was way better than it had any right to be. Lots of space and even a backyard patio. Average priced. Recommend"

Pat’s Off Laurel

★★★★☆ 4.2 (75) • $$

"Loved the drinks and atmosphere. Tuesdays are super fun with karaoke. It's a great place to hang out with friends."

Springbok Bar & Grill

★★★★☆ 3.9 (788) • $$

"I would pass by this place so many times over the years as I'd go to the Van Nuys golf course driving range and it never crossed my mind to stop by to get a meal here until my friend took me here to have lunch last week.One thing is for certain, it's a no frills type of place that's dedicated to providing a laid back atmosphere for watching sports and having a meal and there's a wide selection of alcoholic beverages to choose from if you're looking to having drinks with your meal or just want to sit at the bar and have drinks while watching the game. My friend ordered the Springbok Burger which, according to him, is what he always get when he dines here. I opted to get the grilled pastrami sandwich which was delicious! I would have liked to have gotten the sandwich with a beer and I think it would have been a great pairing but since I was going to be driving back to Hollywood in rush hour traffic, I decided to hold off. Next time I'll come to get a meal and drink before hitting up the driving range. Anyway, when you come here, make sure you've got a big appetite and a lot of space in your stomach because they don't skimp on the portions!"

33 Taps DTLA

★★★★☆ 4.1 (184) • $$

"As a place that's located directly in front of the Crypto Arena and L.A. Live for that matter, I think 33 Taps is a great place to watch a game. With plenty of TVs, you won't have a bad spot in the house to catch a game. The food is typical bar food in my opinion, but if you're here, your not here for the food anyway. You most likely are here with a friend grabbing a beer or drink and catching a game. The service is good here too! Everyone was friendly despite it being busy. Would recommend to anyone wanting to watch a game with a fun crowd in DTLA."

State Social House

★★★★☆ 3.6 (498) • $$

"This is a really cool bar that is very veteran friendly. I visited for an event and was very surprised how nice this bar is. There are many bars to visit inside and a cigar lounge in the basement. The bartenders were really friendly and did a great job considering how busy the event was. I ordered a Prosecco thinking I was going to get a tiny glass but it was huge especially for the price. It was delicious as well. I will definitely be back next time I'm looking for a fun night out."

Rocco's Tavern

★★★★☆ 3.9 (935) • $$

"This is me and my bestie's jam. So chill inside and on the patio. Great sports bar and fantastic happy hour.Every server has always been amazing. The Studio City location is the best in my opinion.We always get the calamari and Cesar salad...and sometimes the mussels. Portions are large so great to try a few things and share!"

Mr Furley's Bar

★★★★☆ 4.4 (98) • $$

"Best mozzarella sticks ever! All their food is homemade from SCRATCH. It's a perfect balance between a thin batter and goey fresh mozzarella stick cut from the block. The bartender explained how all the food is made and is truly homemade. Prices are unbeatable for the area and quality is the best. They have a pool table, two dart stations, lots of seating available and TVs. Low key bar, come hang out, have a drink, and eat some good food. I crave these mozzarella sticks because they are legit so I have to come get my fix lol... but their food is dine in only. It's worth while. ThClean restrooms, good service, good food. Street parking for the most part. Garage parking nearby but I'd recommend street parking."

3rd Base LA

★★★★☆ 3.7 (508) • $$

"Ambiance is good. If you're looking for a chill evening pace to have a drink or two I would recommend this place."

Champ City Bar & Lounge

★★★★☆ 3.7 (44)

"No parking especially on days when there is a game at SoFi, so I didn't have an opportunity to try the food which I heard was good."

Tequila's Bar & Grill

★★★★☆ 3.9 (322) • $$

"This is my go to Mexican spot in NoHo. While a lot of people go to salsa and beer, I feel like that place isn't quite what it used to be. At Tequilas, the prices are still pretty reasonable, with most meals under $15, and the portions are generous for that price. I got the torta for $12.99, and it came loaded with fries, so much food that I could barely finish it. The torta itself wasn't bad. My wife had the enchiladas, which I didn't try, but she swears they're great.That said, there are a few drawbacks. The service can be slow, today, there were only three of us in the restaurant, and it still took about 40 minutes to get our food, which isn't unusual. And unfortunately, we've had some encounters with rude staff in the past. Once, we had a server who gave us attitude the entire time, and we had to request a new server. I think she still works there, though we haven't had issues with her since. We're just cautious now.Overall, we enjoy the food, but the service is hit or miss. I'd rate it 3 stars, but it's closer to 3.5."

Little Bar

★★★★☆ 3.9 (533) • $$

"The little bar is definitely befitting of its name. It is actually completely that; a little bar. Walking in, it is a little outdated and you can tell that it needed some touchups. When we walked in, there were not a lot of people but, the music was really good. There is no food served so if you want to go somewhere to just have a quick drink and relax, this is your place to be. Unfortunately, there was only one bartender and she was at times very preoccupied. Towards the end of our time there, we wanted to get the bartender to close out our tab. However, she was tending to some other patrons outside for about 20 minutes before she came back in. It probably would have been helpful if it was more than one bartender.I did not have a drink but I did hear from other people that the drinks were very good. The bartender even came up with something non-alcoholic for a friend that she definitely enjoyed. I would probably not come back because I do enjoy places that provide food however, it is a nice bar to just relax in and to have a drink or two."

Chick & Burger

★★★★★ 4.5 (121)

"The best of both worlds: SMASH Burgers & Korean Fried Chicken have come together at @chicknburgerla . I can't pick one because both are damn delicious. The Smash Burgers are with so many damn options if the basic isn't good enough for ya because you could level your Smash Burger with bacon, avocados, jalapeños and more. If beef isn't your thing, there is Turkey, Fish, Vegan and Chicken. The combinations are endless but honestly basic triple smash is my fav. The service is awesome! Very helpful and attentive. You order at the counter and food is served at your table. Chick & Burger is just a chill spot to enjoy Korean Fried Chicken and so many Smash Burgers with a beer. The ambiance is chill.If you have room, their beignets are bomb! I got mine with ice cream and the whole hot surgery beignets with the ice cream was totally bomb. On June 29, Chick & Burger wants to celebrate their Smash Burger Pride with a giveaway of 100 Burger Combos to the first 100 peeps that show up! Isn't that BUSSIN!?!?!?! That juicy angus beef patty is so good. FOLLOW @chicknburgerla for their crazy chicken giveaway on 7/13 after their burger giveaway where it's gonna rain korean fried chicken. rain meaning I am gonna toss those fried chicken crunchies in the air and you guys need to catch them in the air. JK or am I just enough cray to do it? HmmzI am excited for both giveaways!!!For a visual review, check out my IG: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C7pZCGKSGqt/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA=="

33 Taps - Culver City

★★★★☆ 4.1 (198) • $$

"Great spot for good happy hour deals! Drinks are priced well and HH food is tasty. Burgers, wings, tacos, fries - everything I've had here is good. Atmosphere is always fun and lively. Service is pretty limited as you seat yourself and order/pay through a QR code, but I've always had a good time here! The waiters who bring your food by are friendly and happy to help if you have any special requests. They even helped us put on a specific NHL game when we visited, so we really appreciated that. Will be back for future HH's for sure!"

The Thirsty Merchant

★★★★☆ 3.6 (454) • $$

"My group prepaid $30 each person and reserved our spots and they wouldn't let me in because they overbooked walk ins. We had a group already inside and I had to come a little later because of work. They should have been clear about coming early and that our spots aren't guaranteed even if we paid. The manager specifically told security to not let anyone in even if they prepaid and made a reservation in advance. I understand if there is a fire code but this business should have accommodated to have enough space for people who prepaid with reservations. All we were told is that half the party needed to be there early. After waiting a while, and explaining all of this to upper management, they made an exception for me but others in line who had prepaid could not enter.Food was backed up as well and knowing this bar would be packed, I don't understand why they don't create a special limited Super Bowl menu with easy food and drinks to accommodate a lot of people. After an hour they were accepting orders again with warning that it'd be a long wait. All the food was okay, typical bar food. Menu was clear about what counted for happy hour which is everyday from 2-7pm The spicy watermelon margarita wasn't spicy nor did it seem like they actually used watermelon puree. The frozen monkey banana peanut butter slushie was great. Tv screens everywhere and they had a raffle. I'm sure this place is great during a normal day and they even have trivia and karaoke nights. I'll plan to come back since the happy hour and vibe of the entire bar was cool with both outdoor and indoor seating. The servers who did help me were nice as well"

The Nile Bar

★★★★☆ 4.1 (253) • $$

"I would say 3.5 stars because I weigh the food and drinks a little more heavily given that it's a bar. First, I LOVE this location, the ambiance, and the customer service. Those are definitely 5+ stars. Market Street is such a great location, and this new location is right off the corner. We found a park on the street, as someone was coming out while we circled the block. We were carded upon entering, but that same gentleman showed us the open table. We sat right by the door, so I kept on my jacket due to the breeze.After being seated, we had 4 different ppl, including security, to stop to make sure we were being taken care of. We ordered the turkey and the shrimp sliders, and two drinks. Honestly, the food and drinks were just okay to me. But this is a bar so I didn't expect too much from the food. Now the drink could be on me, but I could not taste the liquor, besides the Chambord, in the Red Bottom drink I ordered. HOWEVER, we had them bring an extra shot of DJ 70 (I think), and ya girl was struggling to get through the drink. All in all, we will definitely return to check our more food items. They have TVs behind the bar, projected screens on the opposite wall, a DJ, TVs above the entrance, basically every viewpoint covered. During the commercials on games, the DJ spins and was surprisingly a bit diverse in the music played. Go on ahead and check it out. Management here know what to do and how to get it done. The security guard shared that this was previously a Bar & Grill on the opposite side of Market St for abt 25 Years. Let's keep this great business going!!"

Jameson's Irish Pub

★★★★☆ 3.5 (581) • $$

"Not realizing the hockey finals were on, but wanting some Irish food, I came to Jameson's. As busy as they were, everything is superb and fresh; I'm looking forward to coming back.The prices are great, and the portions are sumptuous. Better than many restaurants with twice the pomposity and twice the prices."

Rock & Reilly's

★★★★☆ 4.1 (428) • $$

"I'm gonna call this place the "Cheers" of West Hollywood. We came in for a couple of Irish mules and a couple of beers before dinner at the Rainbow Bar and Grill next door. We could not have been treated better by the wonderful bartenders and locals. This is a big, upstairs downstairs, beautiful Irish bar in the middle of all the action on Sunset Boulevard. Drinks were incredibly well made. Not a lot of people when we walked in. I think there was a private party upstairs. Locals started rolling in about an hour later. We stuck around for about an hour after that, just conversating with Hollywood folks. This is definitely a bar I want to return to the next time we are in Los Angeles."

Tom Bergin's

★★★★☆ 4 (581) • $$

"I was a little worried going here because I've always known Irish Pubs to be bigger on drinking than eating and I'm no drinker, and I feel I don't look like the typical patron. Also, we didn't have reservations. Shockingly, after finding one of a few actual eating tables inside (all were taken outside - yet not many people were eating?) we sat and ordered. Ordering: You have to get up from your table and order from the humongous bar which we didn't know. We sat for a while before realizing this.Wait time: 5/5Despite the business of the bar, our food came out fairly quickly. Facility:4/5: what you'd expect from an old Irish Pub in the middle of the city. Bricks and dark wood. There are a few tables outside where they have live bands playing. Parking was a bit of a challenge. We had to cross busy Fairfax. 5/5: Service: everyone was nice to us. Even the owners dog stopped by inside to say "hi". Food: 5/5!Everything we ordered was super fresh and tasty! 5/5: The fried chicken sandwich with honey sriracha was insanely good. It was seasoned to perfection and the texture was . 5/5: Tri-tip (only on Sunday) 5/5: Mac n Cheese 5/5: Pretzel bites 5/5: Sweet potato fries The only disappointment is they were out of the Shepard Pie but we must go back again and try it.We will be back - especially if we're visiting one of the city's famous museums."

The Woodman

★★★★☆ 4 • $$

"We found another treasure in Sherman Oaks. The Woodman was filled up on a Wednesday at 8pm. The place was filled with monitors with the Olympics on. This is a great place to see UFC fights. The energy is very welcoming and festive. We were greeted and served by Micaela (Mgt. she is an excellent crew member) who recommended the Pub Chips. The Pub Chips were one of the best appetizers that I have ever had. They are large, crispy and delicious! Look at my photos. They came with BBQ sauce and house sauce which went very well with the Pub Chips. We had a chicken Sandwich that was juicy and very crispy on the outside. It was large and it came with a large basket of fries. The Fish and chips came with an excellent tarter sauce and malt vinegar. They were soft on the inside and a golden textured crispy on the outside. Yes, I can highly recommend them. We will be back to have more Pub Chips and try out the Jalapeno Quesadilla."

33 Taps - West Hollywood

★★★★★ 4.7 (36)

"Great staff, atmosphere and food! Great for watching the game solo or with friends/colleagues. Owner is really cool and sits amongst customers, you'd never know it."

Toms Watch Bar - Los Angeles

★★★★☆ 4.1 (789) • $$

"Here for the *Starr Bar*Thank you Starr!Great place to grab food or drinks before or after Staples Center!"

La Corona Bar & Grill

★★★★☆ 3.9 (768) • $$

"On a recent work trip I landed my hungry ass here as I waited to check into my nearby hotel. I had the intent to watch the Padre game while I enjoyed my lunch by I quickly learned that would not be the best idea. Dodgers were on every single TV, which was kind of my personal hell but I wasn't going to rock the boat. I knew I was at a legit place when I walked up and could smell the Fabuloso oozing from the patio - that screams Mexico to me, and I love it. I made my way inside and was absolutely shocked as this place was packed! I took a seat at the bar as there was no wait, ordered a salad and an ice tea from the bartender who was less then attentive but did make service suffer. The taco salad was excellent and super filling as it was a big portion. I added chicken to the salad and combined with the free chips and salsas (yes, multiple) it was very satisfying. Will I ever be in the neighborhood again? I doubt it but if I am, I'd hang here."

Over Under Public House

★★★★☆ 4 • $$

"Happy Hour 2-6 PM, great menu, selection, variety, etc. Plenty of seating inside and out, with a private rear room. A few TVs to watch Pat Harvey on the news or whatever sport you're into. The service was very attentive, friendly, and prompt. Another Burbank Gem."

Pijja Palace

★★★★☆ 4 (851) • $$$

"Man, that chutney pizza had an amazing kick to it! Dosa onion rings were a huge appetizer and the mango chutney added a refreshing tang to the fried goodness. Their menu is small, but excellently curated. It was a perfect pairing with a hoppy beer, but their cocktails looked fantastic too. I didn't have a reservation, which I'll make sure of next time. It's a relatively small space and was really busy on a Thursday night. There's a small parking lot, but judging by how busy this place was, I would count on street parking. Service was friendly and quick and I was pleasantly surprised when the bill for my friend and I (2 beers each, dosa rings, pizza) was less than a hundred."

The Naughty Pig

★★★★★ 4.5 (150) • $$

"Had a great time at the pig. Great location and the food was good. Great for watching sports. A go to for a fun afternoon."

Bar 326

★★★★☆ 3.8 (99) • $

"Pliny the Elder plus on draft plus many more.Always a stop when we visit LA. Great selection and friendly team!"

TGI Friday's

★★★★☆ 4.4 (24)

"Drinks on Friday night in the Hollywood hills ended perfectly for my mom and I. We were beat from exploring and the heat. The bar had a great atmosphere with guitars and lighting. Getting Mojitos with my mom is like tradition and the service by Midnight and Michaela made us feel to well taken care of. We got an order hot buffalo wings that came fresh from the oven and just the right spice level to indulge!! The artichoke dip is a must order for my mom and it was sooo taste. Can't wait to come back for another weekend soon!"
