The biggest football game of the year is coming up quickly. Time to find the perfect place to watch, eat, drink and connect with fellow fans. We’ve made it easy for you. Pick from our list of the best sports bars in the LA area to watch the big game.

Q’s Billiards Club & Restaurant

This massive bar on Wilshire Ave. in Brentwood is second to none. There’s a ton of TVs spread throughout and even some downstairs booth seating that has mini TVs just for that group. There are two bars, one on each floor, plus a wait staff. You’ll never be without a cold beverage or hot food. The bar features a handful of pool tables if you like to play one game while watching another.

American Junkie Hermosa Beach

American Junkie is a South Bay sports staple you should definitely check out. Dip your toes in the ocean then trek a couple hundred feet to the bar. Junkie is the local watch party bar for many local teams as well as transplant teams. There are 40 TVs to catch the game whether you’re inside in the buzzing bar or outside on the sunlit patio.

Legends Sports Bar

Legends considers itself the “First Modern Sports Bar.” It was founded by former Rams offensive lineman Dennis Harrah and businessman John Morris in 1979 so it has a football pedigree. Watch the game surrounded by an astounding amount of memorabilia from both Long Beach athletes and Hall of Fame players. For the big games, they’ll pull down the projector screen and have a massive display in the middle for a more communal vibe.

The Garage on Motor Ave.

One of the smaller bars on the list but easily one of the best. This converted car garage has pennants hanging from the rafters for virtually every sports team there is. The entire bar is covered in TVs so no matter where you look you won’t miss a minute of the game. The drink prices at The Garage are fantastic and definitely makes it worth a trip as you wouldn’t break the bank.

Yard House

A larger chain style restaurant that features massive tap walls spanning from rarer German beers to unique craft brews. The food menu is expansive and in our opinion, much better than other larger chain sports bars food selection and taste. There are eight Yard House locations throughout the LA/OC Metro area including Downtown LA, Marina Del Rey, Long Beach and Newport Beach.

Glory Days Sports Grill and Beachside Grill

A nice sports bar for locals that features a literal beer cave of rocks with icicles hanging off. That ensures that guests are getting the coldest beverage that they could possibly want. Grab one of their big mugs fresh out of the freezer and do your best Homer Simpson impression.Glory Days features a large outdoor patio at their Lakewood location and the Seal Beach one has a massive long bar chock-full of TVs.
