Babu's notes

  • There’s a new trend of ultra-luxury sports bars in LA apparently, and this one delivers! Great spot to watch a game. Food is solid restaurant quality instead of your typical sports bar food, and I like the natural light in there. TV’s were plentiful and large, so you’re likely to enjoy your fave team in high quality.
  • I had the Spam Fried Rice, good dish but not as filling as I hoped at the price ($26). They have private suites too, which I look forward to trying @djbenjaminwalker.
  • If I have a gripe, it would be that the beer list is minimal, which I’m guessing is intentional. Cocktail menu looks good, just not ready for that at noon on a Sunday. Verdict is great place to watch a game, look forward to going too again!
