Barney’s Beanery
Barney’s Beanery is a legendary sports bar with multiple locations across LA. What started off as a small chili cafe in 1920 has since turned into one of the most iconic bars in the city. Despite the fact that Barney’s Beanery is a full-service restaurant that serves American favorites like potato skins and burgers, it is most popular among those looking to hit the town and enjoy some drinks. There are TVs in almost every direction, making it easy to snag a great view of the game as you sip on a chilled Corona. Beware: Barney’s Beanery is known to get pretty rowdy, so come ready to rumble.

You simply can’t watch a football game without digging into game-worthy food (think crispy fried wings, street tacos and fried chicken sandwiches). With that in mind, 3rd Base LA is an elevated sports hangout, serving gourmet farm-to-table bar food and refreshing, handcrafted cocktails in a lively indoor-outdoor space. If you’re feelin’ frisky, order their famous margarita tree—it’s guaranteed to get the party started.
Local Insight: 3rd Base LA Sport Bar is the official Sports bar of Rams fans, so don’t forget to wear your blue and gold!

Brooklyn Ave Pizza Co.
Nothing beats pizza and football—except maybe wings, pizza and football. Located in the historic neighborhood of Boyle Heights, Brooklyn Ave Pizza Co. serves up artisan pies that are wood-fired to perfection. Since wings are the unofficial food of football, it’s only fitting to order some jumbo Buffalo wings as an app. Wash down the delicious food with some brewskies as your eyes remain glued to the flat screen TVs that line the walls of the restaurant and bar.
