You can’t go wrong with their dry-rubbed ribs, sweet & spicy asian sauce-slathered wings or BBQ chicken salad.

Cheers to Dad
If your pops is a craft beer enthusiast, you have to take him to Brewery X. Known for their beer and hard seltzers—all of which are independently and locally produced. This open-air, bright and vibrant brewery will let Dad enjoy the selection while digging the laid-back vibes and live music. For one of the hardest hard seltzers (10% ABV) in the game, kick back with a pint of Jungle Juice. Pro tip: Check out their food calendar online before stopping in!

Take Me Out to the Ball Game
Heading to a ball game at Angel Stadium with your dad is always a good idea. And while the Angels aren’t playing at home on Father’s Day this year, they’ll be here the Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday after, hosting the Kansas City Royals. Surprise him with tickets, and maybe you’ll even snag a foul ball or a home run to keep as a souvenir!
