50 Best Sports Bars near Norwalk

“We (a trio of ladies) chose this Applebee’s for a little reunion dinner after a movie night, and we’re so glad we ended up here! It was one of the few places still open around 9 PM, and it turned out to be the perfect spot.

We were greeted by Gerardo, who set the tone for the night with his kindness and professionalism. He gave us plenty of time to look through the menu and even pointed out the best deals without ever making us feel rushed. Despite his device acting up, he handled everything quickly and smoothly. Throughout the evening, he checked in on us at just the right moments to make sure we had everything we needed.

Overall, we had a wonderful experience and enjoyed a relaxed, fun reunion dinner. We’ll definitely be returning soon! Please give a big thank-you to Gerardo for making our visit so easy, enjoyable, and for sharing a laugh with us when he heard our wild stories as he walked by!! Thank you so much Gerardo and I hope you enjoy the holidays! :D“

“The only thing wrong was we had to wait approximately 45 minutes do to the "only cook " was on break. First time I ever faced this in a restaurant. Myself was meeting a friend there but I'm sure had their been many other patrons they may of walked out. Food was good, waiter was good and seemed to have a friendly atmosphere being that it was my first time dining there.“

“We’re “Regulars.” The wait staff treat us so well, and the food is terrific. We see tables populated by seniors, parents with babes in arms, post-game soccer stars, and golf buddies. This is truly a neighborhood gem!“

“Lakewood Rocks Sports Bar is a very nice. Great live bands, friendly bartenders, clean, dance floor, nice decore and set up well. It may look small from the outside but step in and you will find it's much larger. Sue the owner is a very friendly person and takes pride in what she does. Myself as a woman feels safe there. Nice friendly clientele. The door manager is a great guy. Step into Lakewood Rocks Sportsbar and enjoy a good time!“

“I was visiting from Texas in Cali for a wedding and locals recommended Shipmates. Had a great time!“

“❤️‍🩹 يستحق الزيارة مكان جيد ناس لطيفين جدا“

“If you’re looking for a spot that nails the fundamentals of great comfort food, Pop’s Wings is it. We had an incredible experience from the moment we walked in, and it’s safe to say we’ll be regulars here.
The Food
The food arrived piping hot and fresh. We dove into the wings first—the Lemon Pepper wings were perfectly seasoned and zesty, but the Spicy Buffalo was the absolute star of the show. It has that classic, bold kick you want in a wing.
Beyond the wings, the Smash Burger was delicious—juicy, flavorful, and hit the spot perfectly. To wash it all down, the beer was ice cold, which is exactly what you need when you’re tackling spicy buffalo sauce.
The Service
What really sets this place apart is the atmosphere. The staff was incredibly welcoming, helpful, and informative. They made us feel right at home and took the time to make sure we had everything we needed.
Final Verdict
Highly recommend! Whether you're there for the wings or a solid burger, you won't be disappointed. We are already looking forward to our next visit.“

“Kevin the KJ that's hosts Karaoke on Tuesdays was Really Good. We came from San Francisco and felt like it was top notch!!! Thanks Kevin for your Hospitality... Lucy“

“beer is cold and food is good 👍 can't ask for much more“

“Great place, with friendly service and a great ambiance, if you like these loud sports bars. We all liked our food - it was "good" (OK would sound as if any of us had been unhappy) - good burgers and fries. Unless I would be asked by someone to join particularly there, I doubt I would go again. It's not a "No" to the restaurant itself, it is a "Yes" to all the other great places on the same street I have not explored yet. So again, if you want to check out games and have a great night out with like-minded, this is highly recommended.“

“This place is amazing. Service was great!“

“Awesome food, barteners, USC Sponsored, UFC Fight Nights.“

“This is me most amazing local spot. Great Music, Amazing Food, and the Staff is so friendly. I really like how it looks inside. I always feel safe there. Then its a quick ride home or ??? haha.“

“The food here is delicious, but it's best to come earlier in the day when you can enjoy a larger selection as well as the company of other customers. The plates cost $20-$30 but they're very worth it, as the taste is indistinguishable from what's made back in Guayaquil, Ecuador. If you come later in the day, you'll have fewer options and it'll seem empty. The folks working here also are cool and friendly! 😎👌🍽️“

“Like the bar owners are Kool Sonia and Juan are nice bartenders great free food they took careof me since day 1 I benn going there for years“

“I had wonderful time there at Shannon’s On Pine. Everyone who works there are very friendly and service excellent. I was there for a special event with KLBP and The Long Beach Blues Society. All the musicians who played outside in the outdoor eating area were there for The International Day of Music . I want to thank Shannon’s On Pine for staging this event with our 501(c) California Charity The Long Beach Blues Society. Great food,excellent beverages, and fun atmosphere. Even without a special event this place rocks Bob Barr Long Beach, California“

“Monique is absolutely amazing! She made sure we were taken care of the entire time we were here. She was incredibly attentive and thoughtful, always checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. What stood out the most was how kind and patient she was with my 6-year-old — she truly went above and beyond to make our experience special. Thank you, Monique, for making our visit so wonderful!

But It was delicious. So we had to try other ones my next favorite was the chicken Bacon ranch, new favorite. Shrimp and calamari was so good. After all that food, we couldn't stop dancing. Like I said the dj was great. We different recommend this place, can't wait to go back. the service was so good it makes you feel like you're family.

“We were visiting in Long Beach from Colorado because we had to dog sit our grandog for 2 weeks. We love coffee and our Broncos. That weekend they were playing the Bills. We stumbled upon Altar Society and watched the second half of the game there. When we walked in wearing our Broncos gear there was another local young couple there wearing theirs. They immediately clapped as we walked in so we sat next to the table next to theirs to have appetizers and a dessert. It was a fun game to watch with other fans. The food was good. The next morning, we walked over there to check out their Coffee since we noticed that they also offer coffee and muffins. What a unique concept. We need an Altar Society near us in Colorado. GO Broncos!“

“Food here is actually really good. It's not like gourmet but it's the perfect fried food to go with your cold beer. Great friendly service. There's a jukebox that you can pay to play music, a Foosball table, darts and a punching machine if you wanna diversify your fun. Tables are in good standing and I didn't see a bad pool cue. Perfect billiards spot“

“The only really good “bar” in Anaheim. We were here with family for a week and this bar was my best find. Very cold pints of beer, clean lines and some premium tequila on their back bar. Didn’t play any of their pool tables but loved the bar and the bartender who was very welcoming. Everything was spotless despite being a dive bar.“

“Cindy was absolutely amazing. She was friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcomed from the moment we sat down. She checked in at just the right times, knew the menu well, and made great recommendations. You can tell she really cares about her guests. She made our experience even better—we’ll definitely be back and hope to have her again.“

“Lots of fun to be had here.“
