Los Angeles is getting ready to host seven World Cup 2026 matches at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, and the bar scene surrounding the venue is better than most fans realize. While SoFi Stadium itself is a state-of-the-art marvel, the real pre-game and post-game magic happens at the local spots within a short drive of the venue.
Inglewood has undergone a massive transformation in recent years, and the bar and restaurant scene has grown right alongside the new stadium. Local breweries, sports bars, and taco joints have popped up to serve the growing community of fans who flock to the area for Rams games, Chargers games, concerts, and now the World Cup.
Three Weavers Brewing Company is a must-visit for craft beer lovers. Located just minutes from SoFi Stadium, this taproom features a rotating selection of IPAs, lagers, and sours brewed on-site. The vibe is laid-back and welcoming, and on game days the place fills up with fans looking for a quality pre-game pint.
For a more traditional sports bar experience, head to the Brews Hall at Del Amo. This beer hall has dozens of taps, big screens everywhere, and a food hall with options ranging from pizza to BBQ. It gets loud and lively on game days, which is exactly what you want.
If you are willing to drive a bit further, the beach cities of Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, and Redondo Beach offer an incredible selection of bars with ocean views. Sharkeez, Baja Sharkeez, and The Standing Room are all fan favorites that combine great food, strong drinks, and a party atmosphere that perfectly complements a big match day.
For something more upscale, head to the rooftop bars in downtown LA or along Abbot Kinney Boulevard in Venice. Perch LA offers stunning skyline views with craft cocktails, while The Brig in Venice has an outdoor patio perfect for warm evening celebrations after a match.
Getting around LA on game day requires planning. The Metro K Line now connects directly to SoFi Stadium from downtown LA, making public transit a viable option for the first time. Rideshares will be in high demand, so consider getting dropped off a few blocks from the stadium to avoid the worst of the traffic.
Football Underground will have all the best bars, transportation tips, and scavenger hunts mapped out for LA during the World Cup. Whether you are a local or visiting for the first time, we will help you find the spots that make game day special.
