Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Better for casual 2nd or 3rd dates. The loud game atmosphere makes deep conversation challenging, but the inclusive vibe and outdoor seating during happy hour create a relaxed, low-pressure environment perfect for sports fans getting to know each other.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes, walk-ins are welcome and typical except during major playoff games. Arrive before 6pm on weekends or opt for bar seating which always has availability. Call ahead only for groups of 6+.
Is it kid-friendly? Not ideal for young children. The bar atmosphere and later hours (most action after 5pm) make it better suited for adults. However, families are welcome during earlier weekend hours before the evening crowd arrives.
Do they show all sports or just football? All sports with 360-degree TV views and jumbotron. They'll accommodate specific game requests - just ask the bartender. Popular for soccer, basketball, football, hockey, and UFC fights.
Is it actually LGBTQ+ friendly or just rainbow-washing? Authentically queer-owned and operated with strong ties to the WeHo LGBTQ+ community. Staff, regular crowd, and inclusive atmosphere reflect genuine commitment beyond marketing - this is a true Rainbow District neighborhood spot.
Best For
Better for: Best twice-daily happy hour in WeHo with actual quality wings (not frozen), inclusive LGBTQ+ sports bar atmosphere, comprehensive vegan options that don't compromise on flavor, and late-night deals when other happy hours have ended
Skip if: You want intimate conversation, need upscale cocktails beyond beer/basic mixed drinks, prefer traditional straight sports bar energy, or are looking for a quiet dinner experience - head to Barney's Beanery or Saddle Ranch instead
