A great sports bar has an attentive staff, multiple televisions, and a bartender who knows how to use the remote. Whether you’re looking for a place to watch the Dodgers play, see some college football action, or root for the Lakers, Los Angeles has a sports bar for you. Here are three of the best.
2nd Floor Gastropub & Sportsbar
The 2nd Floor Gastropub & Sportsbar in Koreatown is known for friendly service and great food. It has a lot of seating, and multiple TVs line the walls. Customers come here to watch MMA in addition to the most common sports. Because 2nd Floor is also a gastropub, you’ll find things like kimchee pasta along with traditional favorites like wings in a large and diverse menu. It’s a place to come not only for the game, but also for dinner too.
Overall, the atmosphere is great. Parking is an issue though, so be sure to plan accordingly.
The Parlor
The Parlor sports bar solves one major city issue right off the bat. It has valet parking for $10, making finding a spot much less of a challenge. It’s a good place to come and watch games with friends. The Parlor has multiple televisions and has drinks designed to serve small groups. One such item is the Tower, which is a device that serves multiple people beer at one time.
The bar offers special event nights, game-time action, and a trivia night during the week. You’ll find staples like pizza served here, as well as other dishes like a breakfast croissant. The atmosphere is fun and friendly. It serves an official viewing place for fans of Michigan in Los Angeles.
33 Taps
33 Taps in Silver Lake has televisions circling the space, making it the perfect game-watching spot with plenty of seating. It gets slightly loud during Sunday games, but the food is good. Dishes served here include favorites such as bacon cheddar fries, Fried buffalo cauliflower, and a blackened chicken sandwich.
On the weekends, 33 Taps is open for brunch. Between the hours of 10 a.m. and 3 p.m., they offer unlimited mimosas or Bloody Marys for just $10. They also offer a happy hour, and their specialty, as the name implies, is beer. 33 Taps has mainstream beers and some local ones. A few craft beers appear on the menu as well.
The bar is in a shopping center with limited but dedicated parking. A security guard is outside to make sure patrons park in the dedicated slots with street parking also available. Overall the atmosphere is lively, service is good, and patrons receive a free dessert for checking-in on social media.
Finding a good sports bar to watch the game is important. The best sports bars in Los Angeles are a combination of television, great food, a variety of beers and other beverages to finish off the experience. Visit them for a night out, an event, or a good brunch with your friends.
