50 Best Sports Bars near Venice

“This is another gem I take visitors to all the time, mostly for a late breakfast. I come here for 20+ years. I gotta be honest: If you are looking for the best ... whatever food .... in town, don't bother to go. This place is about atmosphere and having a good time. The food is good, and we had an amazing time with our waiter Shilly yesterday - and left well fed and with $100 for the four of us fairly priced - given the location I would have expected more. Wow - five stars for OK food? Absolutely. In my very own rating scheme, it is mandatory for five stars that I would be willing to do a 30+ min detour just to go to this particular place. And I did. Many times. And will do it again. We've been to the Ivy's in Beverly Hills the night before. It would be totally unfair to compare on a mere culinary basis. Go here - prepared to have a good time - and you will.“

“Updating my review cause I loved watching and Celebrating the Dodger’s 2nd WS win here. Genuinely love this place, the staff, and the food.. just wish I could rely on it to play the Rams…

Past review: Sports bar in LOS ANGELES that doesn’t prioritize LA games on the big screen or the audio????“

“A go to gay bar in Weho. This place is so welcoming and the staff are all great. Lots of tvs with m various sports playing. On the most recent trip they had a live DJ who played great music at the perfect volume for the entire time we were there. Love their trivia night, and especially enjoy coming to their happy hour for a snack and some great bar bites!“

“Enjoyed Friday night 9/16 live music, food, drinks & great service. 2 wks later we reserved the VIP rm for a memorial and repast service for 25 guests. Marsha delivered everything we asked for and it was wonderful. It was a bittersweet day because our 32nd anniversary was 9/29th. But the love shown for our sisters life was priceless.“

“From out of town and wanted to stop somewhere and have a beer. So glad we picked this place! Joel and Kata the bartenders were fantastic. No waiting to get served. Beer was ice cold. Very welcoming to out of town guests. Highly recommend“

“Go for the Buffalo cauliflower, stay for the wine/beer 🍔🍟🍕🥗🍗🧇🍺🍷“

“Great place to be directly at the Hollywood Blvd. Nice happy hour from Mo-Fr (12pm-7pm).“

“Mo’s Place is excellent. Breakfast is the best we have had anywhere and the price couldn’t be beat. Christy Anne is a wonderful, pleasant and happy waitress who served us.“

“Good food and fast service.“

“10/10 The best friendly atmosphere Relaxing Great customer service Fresh food with in mins The Dodgers game was on I really enjoyed the restaurant I will recommend this to my friends and family please visit and enjoy The best in months“

“Service was great, food was good for a bar, and the atmosphere was spot on.

The only real negative was the condition of the tables. For $25 an hour they should be great tables. The pockets were big, but the biggest issue was the cloth, they should be recovered every year, at least, due to that cost.

If they are busy, you can only play for 1 h 30 minutes, but if not just check in with the desk to make sure it's ok to continue play.“

“First let me say I gave the food 5 stars but actually I didn't try it so I just kept everything five stars. I was in town for a funeral and I needed somewhere to go and have a drink shoot a game of pool and relax. I stopped by this place and everyone was very friendly including the bartender Michelle and they made me feel like I was a regular. When some of the guests found out that I was in town for a funeral some of them offered drinks to me and my family for our loss. This is a friendly place and I felt at home and I would definitely come back here and recommend that you try it as well.“

“Great atmosphere and service by the bartenders. Food is delicious and kitchen is open late night. Best chopped salad and best peanut butter pie, pizza by the slice or can order a whole pie. Overall would highly recommend the Elbow Room.“

“Happy hour 3-7pm then 10 til close.. drinks only.. if you kno then you know not to play with the host/ guard.. she’s is lovely but she don’t play about closing time.. closing hours varies on the vibe..kitchens closed by 1230..THEY DO NOT ACCEPT APPLE PAY..“

“Please give George - who I renamed GMoney - a raise! In all seriousness, he made me (a California newbie) feel so welcome and happy while I was out here visiting my daughter... beyond words. He was amazing and nothing like the East Coast bartenders I’ve been used to! A wonderful night was had because of him!“

“Old school since 1972. It originally opened in 1955 as the Bowspirit.“

“My boyfriend and I live close by. We usually walk down to the pier, but found this place. We have yet to be disappointed. The wings, chili, stuffed jalapeños, steak sandwich, burger, etc. are all delicious! (We don’t choose healthy here lol) The bartenders are attentive and friendly, and we’re not there enough to be regulars, but I definitely notice some of the same people every time we are there. Highly recommend this “homey” bar in a not so “homey” town. I used to bartend and this place makes me miss it! 🍻“

“The best spot to chill w friends. Saturday Latin nights are my favorite Salsa Baby!! Beer and drinks very cheap recommended to all. :)“

“Great atmosphere. Great service!“

“After a day at Playa Del Rey beach, we walked over to The Shack for a quick dinner. The burgers were so good (even the kids agreed)! The pineapple burger and its teriyaki sauce was amazing. Will definitely be back!“

“Friendly staff. Inclusive environment.“

“Amazing food at reasonable prices, in a fun environment!“

“I would give this location 5 stars if Rodger was the manager. To be honest the newest manger (Bryan) is very over baring and uncomfortable for women. There were all open places by the bar and he placed my girlfriend and I in the dark dining room next door. It was 1.5 hrs before they closed but the bar area was pretty much shut down. Us being separated from the couple from the at the bar made us feel like we couldn’t speak up if we wanted good service we felt like we couldn’t speak up because he kept speaking over us. When we finally snuck up to the bar to order Rodger was so lovely and accepting that we stayed and felt safe!“

“One of a kind whiskey-craft beer neighborhood tavern/pub. Absolute Santa Monica / westside institution.“
