Los Angeles

Pub entertainment in Los Angeles

  1. A

    Prince

    In the movie Chinatown, Faye Dunaway meets with Jack Nicholson at this campy joint that defies any categorization. It's a former hotel lounge with colonial-era British-pub looks (check out the wacky soldier lamps) and soju and Hite beer on the menu. The crowd is a potpourri of ethnicities united by a penchant for stiff drinks at civilized prices.

    Hennessey’s Tavern

    With a little luck o’ the Irish, you’ll nab a table on the bustling rooftop deck just in time for sunset. Grab a Guinness and burger at this pier’s-end pub – always fun but a smidge less rowdy than the frat-pack magnets crowding the rest of the pier.

    Naja's Place

    Hofbräuhaus move over – Naja's is a beer drinker's true nirvana. With a dizzying 77 brews on tap and hundreds more in bottles, you'll never run out of choices at this salty harborfront joint in King's Harbor. Best on Sunday afternoons.

    Belmont Brewing Company

    This bustling gastropub has a great outdoor deck overlooking the Belmont Pier (perfect for watching sunsets), fresh and handcrafted brews (try the Long Beach Crude stout or Top Sail ale), and a well-priced menu that goes far beyond pub grub.

    Cat Fiddle

    Morrissey to Frodo, you never know who might be popping by for Boddingtons or Sunday-night jazz. Still, this Brit pub with leafy beer garden is more about friends and conversation than faux-hawks and deal-making.

  6. F

    Ye Olde King’s Head

    A mixed-age crew frequents this 30-year expat fave that’s fun for the colonists too. Expect dartboards, football (the other kind) and lots of ales on tap. A slim bar menu includes hefty fish and chips.
