17 L.A. sports bars with food and drink deals on Super Bowl Sunday
- Share via
Fans flock to sports bars for two obvious reasons: to drink and to watch sports. The food is often an afterthought, served in large portions and generously doused in cheeses and sauces to distract from any lack of discernible flavor.
Thankfully, here in Los Angeles, that’s not the case. We’ve got sports bars with lengthy tap lists, others that appeal to new demographics with stylish, muted aesthetics, and more still with raucous patios where no one will judge you for screaming at the screens. And yes, we have options that somehow hit all these marks while turning out impressive food to boot.
Where do NFL fans gather to watch playoff games in Southern California? From Packers to Patriots and Chiefs to Rams, use our guide to find your game-day spot.
Whether or not you’re invested in the outcome of Super Bowl LX pitting the Seattle Seahawks against the New England Patriots on Sunday, Feb. 8, consider booking it to one of these sports bars offering limited menu items and discounts in celebration of game day, ranging from barbecue and wings to Italian pasta and a plant-based pub.

Barney's Beanery
Santa Monica Bar
(Stephanie Breijo / Los Angeles Times)
In recent years Barney’s Beanery found itself “the hot Gen Z bar,” but this local chain with century-old roots has been a go-to sports bar for generations of Angelenos. Its lengthy list of celebrity clientele included Jim Morrison, Marilyn Monroe, Eve Babitz and Clark Gable, who were all drawn to the wood-accented watering hole and homey signature dishes such as the legendary chili. The menu still boasts the chili and plenty of other bar-food stalwarts — potato skins, burgers and loaded fries — plus dozens of beers on tap, while every location features TVs and pool tables. With locations in Santa Monica, Burbank, Pasadena, Westwood and — the L.A. originator — West Hollywood, there’ll be a Barney’s screening the big game in multiple corners of the county.

BiergartenLA
Koreatown Korean Gastro Pub $$
(Danielle Dorsey / Los Angeles Times )
Watch L.A. Football Club (LAFC), UFC and live Sunday football games, including the Super Bowl, at this unassuming Koreatown gastropub that fuses Korean and German flavors on its menu. Upon stepping into the spacious tavern where flags for L.A. sports teams wave from the ceiling, it’s easy to see how it endeared itself to host Guy Fieri on Food Network’s “Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives.” You’ll spy German and Korean staples on the food menu, like a Bavarian pretzel and kimchi tofu, as well as signature plates that blend influences, such as chile-sauced kalbi tacos, gravy-doused German fried rice, a schnitzel katsu burger and drunk bier chicken that’s oven-roasted and beer-brined, served with cabbage slaw and house-pickled jalapeño and daikon. The bar features more than 25 craft beers on draft, plus bottles, cans, ciders, nonalcoholic options, a short wine list and cocktails, with deals on beer and shot pairings.

Bludso's
Fairfax Barbecue $$
(Bludso’s BBQ)
Kevin Bludso has been a titan in the city’s barbecue scene for years, first opening a takeout stand in his hometown of Compton in 2008. The location on La Brea followed five years later and is still going strong, in addition to a spacious outpost in Santa Monica and takeout and delivery outfit in Van Nuys. For Super Bowl Sunday, Bludso’s will air the game live on multiple TVs behind the bar, paired with signature meats smoked low and slow with California flair, such as half-chicken with pollo asado-inspired seasoning, rib tips coated in a brisket rub, and gargantuan dinosaur beef ribs, plus sides like mac and cheese and baked beans and desserts (get the blackberry cobbler with ice cream). Reservations are filling up quick, but you can still order barbecue trays that feed 10 to 15 people for takeout and delivery.

Brooklyn Ave Pizza Co.
Boyle Heights Mexican Pizza Chicken Wings $$
(Jakob N. Layman)
This Boyle Heights sports bar celebrates Chicano culture with menu items like mole pizza topped with Oaxacan quesillo and poutine-inspired fries with beef chorizo gravy, queso fresco and cilantro. The name pays homage to the original name of the street now known as Cesar Chavez Avenue, and just next door is the Paramount, a ballroom venue that’s been around for nearly a century. For Super Bowl Sunday, the bar is hosting the Benito Bowl, with surround sound, 10 HD TVs, a music intermission for Bad Bunny’s halftime show and free parking. The regular menu will be available, including hot wings, loaded fries and pizza available by the slice or as whole pies, plus beer, wine and house cocktails like the elote old fashioned with guajillo honey and roasted corn. Get your order to go to watch the game from the comfort of your home, or make a reservation to enjoy your selections in the restaurant/bar area.

Cham Gastropub
Pico-Union Sports Bar $
(Stephanie Breijo / Los Angeles Times)
A new Korean sports bar is offering spicy wings, street-food favorites like potato tornadoes and skewers, sizzling skillets of pork jowl and peppers, and kimchi pancakes, all surrounded by roughly a dozen TVs and projectors. Cham Gastropub, a pocha that launched in 2025, broadcasts basketball, football, soccer, golf, baseball, boxing and more as the cocktails and beer pitchers flow. There’s a pool table and a smattering of dart boards, and should you prefer your visit alfresco, there’s a shared patio with Cham’s adjacent sibling coffee shop, Memorylook.

Crawford's Social
Thousand Oaks American $$
(Wonho Frank Lee)
Westlake Village’s sprawling cocktail lounge regularly shows big games on its two indoor TVs, plus pours craft beers — including a house lager — and offers frozen drinks and other concoctions to wash down pizzas, chile-glazed wings, truffle fries and filet sliders. For Super Bowl Sunday, it’s going even bigger. Additional screens will be added for outdoor lounge viewing, along with to-be-finalized food specials (last year’s included short rib nachos, vegan chili, and tacos). Reservations are highly encouraged, but Crawford’s Social will also save room for walk-in guests.

The Greyhound Bar & Grill
Highland Park Bar
(Stephanie Breijo / Los Angeles Times)
A decade in and the Greyhound Bar & Grill continues to draw crowds for major sporting events showcased across its TVs and pull-down screen — though for many, the food is its own incentive. Heralded for its chicken wings, which are available in more than a dozen sauces, the game-day mainstay serves lightly battered, gloriously crispy wings in options such as classic buffalo, spicy garlic, gochujang, lemon pepper, al pastor and even a cotija-topped esquites variety, and offers classic bone-in wings and boneless, plus battered cauliflower. The kitchen also whips up aguachile tostadas, beef or vegan burgers, and personal pizzas made with 48-hour-fermented dough. When it comes to this year’s Super Bowl, stop by for viewing, a new sound system and a themed “oyster showdown” featuring Washington-grown oysters to represent the Seahawks and Prince Edward Island oysters in a nod to the Northeast and the Patriots. If you’re watching at home, the Greyhound is offering pre-orders for wing party packs with choice of bone-in, boneless or vegan wings.

Good Neighbor Bar
Altadena Bar/Nightclub $$
(Jakob Layman)
Good Neighbor became the first cocktail bar to open in Altadena in 40 years when co-owners and husband and wife Randy Clement and April Langford — who also run Everson Royce bar and Silverlake Wine — debuted the space in fall 2024, along with neighboring West Altadena Wine & Spirits. When it reopened just weeks after the Eaton fire, the bar became a place of healing and community, hosting fundraisers as well as food pop-ups. For Super Bowl, the bar will open early at 3 p.m. and screen the game inside as well as on the all-ages, dog-friendly patio, with fresh pasta from Ferrazzani’s, $6 beer pints and $12 negronis all night.

Hi Tops
West Hollywood Bar/Nightclub Bar Bites $$
(Kelly Puleio)
Owners Jesse Woodward and Dana Gleim expanded their original Hi Tops location, which they billed as “your go-to neighborhood gay sports bar,” from San Francisco to Los Angeles in 2018, opening an instantly popular outpost in West Hollywood. The vibe: craggy brick walls, light wood floors, exposed ceiling beams, mounted TVs facing every possible angle and a hearteningly diverse crowd. The food: a universally friendly mix of burgers, sandwiches, salads and “stadium fare” options like warm pretzels, loaded nachos and corn dogs. Beer options range from Bud Light to Chimay Premiere and local craft IPAs, and cocktails run strong and smart. A cocktail creation like the Claw — a limey blend of gin, green chartreuse, cardamom bitters and pineapples — defies sports bar stereotypes, something that can be said of the place as a whole. A third Hi Tops in Los Feliz joined the family a few years ago, duplicating its signature atmosphere and winning formula, including trivia nights early in the week.

Pijja Palace
Silver Lake Indian Restaurant
(Shelby Moore / For The Times)
Silver Lake’s genre-bending, raucous, modern-Indian sports bar is worth a visit no matter how invested you are in baseball, football, basketball or hockey. Owner Avish Naran built a singular spot that’s big on simply having fun with it all: The ranch is flavored with curry leaf, the chicken tenders get a serious spin on the classics (jaggery and tamarind for the barbecue, achaari for the buffalo), and the onion rings come gloriously browned and puffy thanks to the dosa batter that serves as the breading. Even the cocktails are a notch above the usual sports bar sips, with options for “chai-rish coffee,” house-made mango lassi with mezcal, blood orange negronis, and amaro that’s scented with black and green cardamom. While chef Miles Shorey’s Indian-leaning takes on classic bar bites are always a win for game day, the pastas and pizzas — namely the signatures of Malai rigatoni and green-chutney pijja — are requisites no matter the occasion. This year Pijja Palace is celebrating the Super Bowl with an all-afternoon viewing party complete with discounted prices across the menu for both food and drink. Reservations are encouraged, but the bar area will be first come, first served, as will a few tables held for walk-ins.

The Wood Urban Kitchen
Inglewood Barbecue $$
(Wood Urban BBQ)
With high-top tables spilling onto the street-side patio and a velvet rope partitioning the restaurant from a busy Market Street in downtown Inglewood, it’s hard to miss the Wood. An early-’00s playlist and daily happy hour might draw you inside, but it’s the menu — spanning barbecued meats, burgers, sandwiches, wings and Southern-inspired sides — that will persuade you to get comfortable and stay a while. The sports lounge from Jonathan DeVeaux is consistently packed on NFL Sundays, and for Super Bowl it’s going all out with all-day happy hour, family platters and live music, so get there early to take advantage of its first-come, first-served seating. The sports bar will also be offering barbecue platters to go.

Tiny's Hi-Dive
Sawtelle Bar $
(Stephanie Breijo / Los Angeles Times)
One of West L.A.’s favorite dives swears much of its allegiance to Chicago — and thusly the Bears — but Tiny’s Hi-Dive regularly screens games of all kinds throughout the year. On Super Bowl Sunday find the game on with sound, plus the Tiny’s happy hour menu running from 2 to 8 p.m.: This means discounts on food, wine, cocktails, 24-ounce beer pours and more. Be sure to order a few Chicago dogs, Italian beef sandwiches, wings and frozen Irish coffees while you’re there.

Tony's Darts Away
Burbank Bar $
(Stephanie Breijo / Los Angeles Times)
This Valley staple isn’t simply a great place to catch a game: it’s also home to one of the county’s best plant-based bar menus, plus a connoisseur’s list of frequently rotating craft beers. In 2010 when restaurateur Tony Yanow purchased Tony’s Darts Away, a local watering hole since the 1970s, he injected it with local beer and a broad food menu that pleases the omnivorous and the vegan alike. Find multiple TVs, burgers, disco fries, fresh pretzels, vegan chili dogs, dart boards and, on Super Bowl Sunday, plant-based and chicken wing specials, plus California-made nonalcoholic beers in addition to the lengthy roundup of local craft beer.

Wirtshaus
Fairfax German Beer Garden $$
(Brandon Ly/Los Angeles Times)
You’ve probably driven past this lively German sports bar and beer garden on La Brea Avenue. Although the German-centric draft and bottled beer lists are tempting on their own, you’d do well to arrive hungry. The food menu spans the German and Eastern European dishes you’d expect, such as a Bavarian pretzel served with sweet mustard and house beer cheese; a selection of sausages ranging from smoked pork oozing Emmentaler cheese to wild boar with roasted garlic and wine; a selection of schnitzel; a hearty beef goulash with house-made Spätzle; and classic sides like sauerkraut and sweet and sour red cabbage. The bar hosts trivia nights on Wednesdays and a Bavarian night with live traditional music on the first Saturday of every month. For the Super Bowl, the bar is bringing in additional TVs for the patio and will open its back projector room for viewing. Reservations are recommended.

Ye Rustic Inn
Los Feliz Bar
(Stephanie Breijo / Los Angeles Times)
One of the city’s favorite dives is all dimly lighted and plush with burgundy leather booths, a perfect setting for the textbook-definition buffalo wings served there. There are no frills, no fancy sauces: just classic buffalo available in mild, medium or hot. Ye Rustic also offers the option of ordering your wings dry, as well as customizable in crunchiness: regular, crispy or extra crispy (always go extra crispy). Great as they are, it would be a mistake to commit only to the wings; the hand-breaded chicken strips come almost shoestring-thin by tenders standards and are remarkably juicy. The most popular burger, the Myrtle, arrives heaped with grilled onions and bacon and tastes like an ideal backyard cookout. There are nachos and salads and pancake breakfasts and fish and chips all worth exploring — bring a crew to sample your way through the menu. Ye Rustic will be broadcasting the Super Bowl throughout the bar on Sunday, and if you’re watching from home, it’s offering to-go wing packages; orders can be placed via yerusticsuperbowl@gmail.com.
