Vibes: Sports Bar Central Quick Bites Champions Business Lunch Power Players Group Dining Gatherings
Inside the LAX Marriott, Hangar 18 serves a better-than-expected hotel-bar burger, headlined by the Big Bacon Burger on a brioche bun. It’s a convenient sit-down option for travelers and nearby office workers who want a full bar, big TVs, and reliable burgers without leaving the Century Boulevard hotel row.
Must-Try Dishes: Big Bacon Burger, Turkey Burger, Impossible Burger (Plant-Based)

What makes it special: A polished hotel sports bar where the Big Bacon Burger anchors a traveler-friendly menu steps from LAX.
Who should go: Hotel guests and business travelers needing a solid burger nearby.
When to visit: Afternoons or early evenings before airport crowds spike.
What to order: Big Bacon Burger, onion rings, a draft beer or cocktail.
Insider tip: Parking can be validated while dining—use the hotel’s valet or self-park.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Hotel valet and self-parking are available with validation; expect $10–$15 depending on duration. Street parking is scarce along Century Blvd.
Dress code: Casual—airport travelers and business-casual office workers blend in. Jeans, tees, and sneakers are all appropriate.
Noise level: Moderate to loud, especially during games. You can chat easily at off-peak hours; prime-time sports events get lively.
Weekend wait: Usually 10–20 minutes; hotel guests create sporadic surges but rarely long waits.
Weekday lunch: Typically no wait, even for groups.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: A few options, including salads, fries/onion rings, and sometimes a veggie burger depending on rotating menus.
Vegan options: Limited—mostly sides and modified salads. Confirm with staff since offerings shift with hotel menus.
Gluten-free options: Burgers can often be served protein-style or on a gluten-free bun when available; fries typically share a fryer.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? It’s better for a casual meet-up than a romantic first date. The sports-bar energy, TVs, and hotel-bar setting skew practical rather than intimate.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes—reservations are rarely needed. Walk in almost anytime; only big sports events cause brief waits.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes for casual family meals. High chairs and booths are available, and the menu is approachable, though noise levels can spike during games.
Best For
Better for: Convenient sit-down burgers near LAX, reliable service, and a full bar with TVs—ideal for travelers wanting comfort food without leaving the hotel cluster.
Skip if: You want a destination-level burger, craft-focused cooking, or a quieter, atmosphere-driven meal—other Westside spots will deliver more character.
