The Field Sports Bar and Grill
7.7
A charbroil-focused sports bar in Mar Vista built around game-day energy—wall-to-wall screens, pool tables, and an outdoor patio that stretches the experience past closing time at quieter spots. The menu leans into grilled burgers and shareable bar staples like shrimp toast and chile fries, paired with craft cocktails on tap. It fills a specific lane for the neighborhood: a dedicated watch-party spot with food that holds up beyond typical bar fare.

Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? No — this is a neighborhood sports bar with multiple TVs tuned to games, a lively bar atmosphere, and the energy you'd expect from a place built around watching sports. It's great for a casual, low-pressure hangout, but the noise level and screen-heavy environment aren't conducive to intimate conversation. If your date is a fellow sports fan and you're going for relaxed vibes over romance, it could work — but for a traditional first date, look elsewhere.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes — The Field operates as a walk-in, first-come-first-served sports bar and does not appear to take reservations. On weeknights you should have no trouble grabbing a seat. During major games, weekends, or late-night hours (they're open until 2am Friday and Saturday), expect it to get busier — arrive early if you want a prime spot near the TVs or on the patio. Happy hour (Mon–Fri 5–7pm) is another peak window.
Is it kid-friendly? Not ideal. This is a sports bar with a bar-forward atmosphere that stays open until 2am on weekends. There's no confirmed kids menu or children's amenities. Weekend daytime hours (Saturday and Sunday open at 10am) could work for a quick family bite since the crowd skews lighter and they serve elevated bar food, but it's fundamentally an adult-oriented sports bar. Families with older teens who enjoy watching games would fit in better than those with young children. Call ahead at (310) 390-2269 to confirm high chair availability if needed.
Is it good for groups? Yes for casual groups — the layout includes a main bar area with additional seating toward the back, plus the outdoor patio, giving groups room to spread out. It's a natural fit for watching a game together or a relaxed group hangout. Specific max party size and whether they accommodate large-format reservations for groups is not confirmed online — call ahead if you're bringing more than 6–8 people so they can try to arrange seating. No confirmed private dining room.
Is there outdoor seating? Yes — The Field has an outside patio area. Specific details on whether it's covered, heated, or the exact number of seats are not confirmed online. Given its Mar Vista location, the patio is likely a pleasant option in fair weather. Call (310) 390-2269 for details on patio availability during peak hours or to confirm heating for cooler evenings.
Best For
Better for: Catching the game with a crew, casual neighborhood hangs with solid bar food and craft cocktails, or unwinding on the patio after work
Consider Alternatives If: You want a quiet dinner conversation—this is a TVs-on, game-day-crowd kind of spot
