So I live in LA (yes southern california, I live 12 miles from staples center)and want to watch a game at a "Celtics Bar"... the only one I know of is Sonny's in Santa Monica but that place is going to be crazy packed and cant get there early enough to get in, if I go to any other bar they are going to be filled with all laker fans and so a good chance I will get into a fight (and win the fight)... Sooooo I was wondering if anyone here that lives in LA knows of any "Celtics Bars?...

... except that in jail a) they might not be showing the game b) you'll probably have to fight again there and this time the odds won't be stacked   in your favor as much  ;)

There is a place called Fat Face Fenners in Hermosa, but the boston bars in LA are faux. I have gone in there during the regular season to see the celtics demoted to a small screen in the corner (if it is even on).  It is right on the beach and worth checking out though.  I love getting heckled by lakers fan when I go out in my PP jersey!

This one looks promising.

EDIT: Oops.  Didn't read the first post closely enough.

Probably the easiest way to find one (other than the places in this thread) is to look around for a Red Sox bar on the internet.  There's a very active Red Sox community in LA, and I imagine most of the pro-Red Sox bars are also pro-Celtics.

Sonny Mclean's is probably the most famous Boston bar here in LA, but it's pretty small and a very tough place to get into. They also play a bit of favoritism with the older regulars and seating. If you're going, get there really early and stay a long day. Their menu is pretty good -- they even have whole fried clams (with bellies), which is very rare for LA.

Fat Face Fenners is okay, though getting a parking place in Hermosa on a summer weekend is rough.

If you want to go over the hill, Timmy Nolan's is pretty good, but also a tough place to get into. Watched game 1 there and it was packed with Boston fans. It's on the Burbank/Toluca Lake line (on Riverside) and has good pub food and lots of TV's.

hey I live in LA now and other than Sonny's, the only other Boston Sports Bar i've been to is called the 35'er in Pasadena. The bar tender is from boston and they have events for all the sox/celts/pats games. there will definitely be lakers fans there, but tons of Celtics fans also

Hey Conner, I was thinking of going to Timmy Nolans for game 1 but didn't end up making it.  Was it a good place to watch the game?  I had been there before for a Celtics game but they didn't turn the sound on.  Also how early should I get there in order to get a seat?

To the threadstarter - All the good Boston bars are in Santa Monica.  I would recommend going down there.

Quick question, is there a Laker's bar in Boston?


And if so, how did it survive?

I think I am going to try Timmy Nolans for game 2... I usually go to Leo's in La Crescenta but I went there for the Celts/Lakers first regular season game and it got a little rowdy in there...I went to Sonnys for the second regular season game and it was kinda disapointing cause it was not all that packed... funny now when I call to see if I can get a table they tell me to show up at like noon... that is like 10 hours of drinking!
