Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking along Cahuenga and neighboring blocks is the main option; it’s usually manageable before 6pm but fills quickly on game nights. Several paid lots within a 2–3 minute walk run $8–$15 depending on the hour.
Dress code: Casual and game-day friendly—jerseys, jeans, and hoodies are all normal. No need to dress up unless you're heading out afterward.
Noise level: Loud during major games with constant screen energy; moderate on weeknights. Expect to raise your voice with a group but still manage casual conversation at smaller tables.
Weekend wait: 30–45 minutes during peak game hours; shorter on non-event nights.
Weekday lunch: Typically no wait, with plenty of bar and table seating available.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Limited—fries, salads, and a few sides, but the menu is wing-centric.
Vegan options: Very limited—sides only; sauces may contain dairy or honey.
Gluten-free options: Some sauces are naturally gluten-free, and wings can be ordered without breading, but cross-contact is likely in a sports-bar kitchen.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Only if your date loves wings and a loud, sports-bar atmosphere. It’s fun and high-energy, but not ideal for intimate conversation.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes—most seating is walk-in. Arrive early during big games or Wing Wednesday to avoid a wait, and the bar is a reliable fallback.
Is it kid-friendly? Generally yes for older kids and teens; the vibe is lively and TV-driven. Not ideal for very young children during late-night or major sporting events.
Best For
Better for: Craveable double-fried wings, bold sauces, game-watching energy, and group hangs—stronger than nearby gastropubs for pure wing quality.
Skip if: You want a quiet meal, extensive dietary accommodations, or a more polished sit-down dinner experience.
