5 Best Sports Bars in Los Angeles (2026)

Yard House is a chain sports bar and restaurant near LA Live, built around one of the largest beer selections in the area alongside a wide-ranging American menu. It's set up for both a quick beer while watching a game and a full sit-down dinner, with vegetarian and vegan options built into the menu alongside the usual bar food. Its scale and location near the Crypto.com Arena make it one of the busiest pregame stops Downtown.

Tom's Watch Bar is a sports bar and event venue near LA Live built specifically around watching multiple games at once, with a schedule posted online for every MLB and WNBA matchup that week. It runs a chef-driven menu alongside the usual bar classics, plus a fan club offering discounted drinks, and hosts private events with dedicated planning support. The space is large enough to handle a big crowd without losing sightlines to the screens.

33 Taps Silver Lake pairs 33 rotating beer taps with a full sports-bar setup: big screens throughout, a bar-and-grill menu and weekly events like trivia and drag race bingo layered on top of standard game-day viewing. It's grown into a small local chain across LA, but the Silver Lake original built its name as the neighborhood spot to catch a match, from Champions League finals to basketball playoffs. Regulars name individual bartenders by name in reviews, a sign of how many repeat visits it gets.

Far Bar is a Little Tokyo bar with a Japanese-leaning food menu that doubles as a solid spot to catch a game, especially Dodgers matches given its proximity to the neighborhood. It runs later than most sports bars nearby, staying open past midnight on weekends, and pairs its screens with sushi rolls and small plates rather than standard bar snacks. The bar draws a loyal crowd of regulars who make first-time visitors feel at home.

The Redwood Bar & Grill is a Downtown LA bar with a pirate-ship theme and a lineup of live bands that runs alongside its regular bar service, giving it a different feel from a standard sports bar. The kitchen turns out solid bar food to go with the drinks, and the room has real character, part dive bar, part live-music venue. It's less purpose-built for game viewing than the others here, but reviewers still catch matches on its screens between sets.
