Sports Bars in Long Beach
Whether cheering for their favorite team or looking for a lively place to hang with friends, Long Beach has a sports bar to fit every kind of fan. Historic neighborhood favorites, women-focused hotspots and late-night pubs, these local hubs combine great food and drinks with nonstop action played out on many–sometimes massive–screens. Score!
LEGENDS SPORTS BAR
Tucked in the heart of Belmont Shore, Legends (5236 E Second St) is where sports fans feel right at home. As the nation’s first dedicated sports bar, it still leads the pack with more than 30 HD TVs, including two giant projection screens. The menu is packed with more than 100 tasty options; wide ranging and delicious, you don’t have to be a sports fan to enjoy it. Their wings, which come in flavors like buffalo, Thai sweet chili and Cajun are, well, legendary.
SHANNON’S ON PINE
Shannon’s on Pine (209 Pine Ave) is a go-to spot for great food, drinks and wall-to-wall sports. With 14 TVs, a long bar, and a laid-back vibe, it’s perfect for catching a game or just hanging out. They serve breakfast all day, and keep things lively until 2 AM. From its very popular wings to pastrami chili cheese fries, the menu’s packed with crowd-pleasers and pub favorites.
SHENANIGANS IRISH PUB & GRILLE
Whether you’re sitting inside or on the patio, watching the action on one of the 14 TVs, playing pool with friends or gazing out at one of the best views of the Long Beach waterfront, Shenanigans (423 Shoreline Village Dr., Suite A) offers all that and a friendly vibe. This Irish pub has plenty of pints and plates including wings, burgers and some dishes with a decidedly Irish flare such as a corned beef burger, shepherd’s pie and, yes, Irish nachos.
Watch Me! Sports Bar
Watch Me! Sports Bar (6527 E Pacific Coast Hwy) is dedicated to showcasing women’s sports and regularly hosts sport figure meet-and-greets as well as other special events. With more than 25 HD TVs airing nonstop women’s athletic events–as well as popular men’s games—it offers an elevated gastro pub experience. The menu features standout dishes like a breakfast and a cauliflower burger, wings, sandwiches and shareables (fried dill pickles!) paired with terrific craft cocktails, local brews and artisanal coffee shared in a lively, welcoming setting.
DAVE & BUSTERS
Located at Long Beach Towne Center (7575 Carson St.), Dave & Buster's has 41,000 square feet of space that not only features 180 games of all descriptions and tech levels–old school skeeball to virtual reality versions of “Transformers” and “Top Gun”–but also lots of food and drink options. A 40-foot-wide, ultra-high-definition LED screen showing multiple channels means you can sit in one place and, without so much as moving your head, pretty much see every game being played at that moment.
