Lucky Baldwins Pub in Pasadena is one of the many gastropubs around Southern California where fans can watch English Premier League games.
Ultimate English Premier League bar guide: Where to watch your favorite team
Finding a good English Premier League bar often can be a challenge on this side of the pond, especially when it’s 5,000 miles and eight time zones away from the pitch.
Still, there are a number of sports bars in Southern California that cater to the cravings of football fans looking for a pint and some fellowship on an early Saturday or Sunday morning.
Given the unusual start times for some Premier League games, most bars recommend calling or checking their websites ahead of time to find out when the bar will open and which games will be shown.
Here’s a look at 19 gastropubs in Southern California that cater to your EPL fandom — just make sure you don’t walk into a Liverpool bar wearing a Manchester United jersey.

Showing Places
The Fox & Hounds

Arguably Southern California’s premier Premier League bar, the Fox & Hounds has been showing games on its two huge projector screens and 15 HDTVs for decades. On days when Arsenal or Manchester City plays the early televised game, the pub will open at 3:30 a.m. serving fish and chips, bangers and mash and other authentic English fare.

O'Brien's Irish Pub
Santa Monica Manchester United, Leeds United
Manager Willy O’Sullivan grew up a Manchester United fan in Ireland, lured to the team by a friendship with former Man United and Irish national team captain Roy Keane. Now three seasons after opening his pub and its 21 TVs to soccer, O’Brien’s is home to what is purported to be the largest Man U supporters group on the West Coast. The pub opens early for predawn Man U games and will show other EPL games when United isn’t playing.

The Auld Dubliner
Long Beach Arsenal
Limerick-born co-founder David Copley says his bar is a “traditional Irish pub with all the warmth, banter and welcome one would expect.” That’s especially true if you’re an Arsenal supporter. The Dubliner, which has been showing EPL games on its five screens since it was established two decades ago, opens early only for the Gunners and is the home bar of the Bay City Gooners.

Gallagher’s Pub & Grill
Long Beach Liverpool
If you are a Liverpool supporter, this is the place to be. Irish owner Ciaran Gallagher is a die-hard Reds fan and his 19-year-old bar is a shrine to both his passions, bartending and Liverpool soccer. Gallagher’s will open early to show every Liverpool game on its 15 TVs, but not until 9 a.m. otherwise. The pub is packed with Liverpool memorabilia and a new menu with Liverpool-themed offerings is coming soon.

Lucky Baldwins Pub
Pasadena Liverpool
Lucky Baldwins has been showing EPL games since its inception in 1996 and the Old Pasadena location, home to the Pasadena Reds, frequently opens at 4 a.m., especially when Liverpool is playing the early EPL game. It’s not a one-club bar, however, since supporters from nearly half a dozen other Premier League clubs also hold watch parties here. The pub’s 11 screens often show as many as eight games at a time, plus there are game-day menu specials. And while drums are banned, the supporters love to sing, said Princeton Afeez, the pub’s director of operations.

N17 The Lane
Culver City Tottenham
This family-owned, kid-friendly venue opened in May and already has become a weekend gathering place for Tottenham supporters.

There is also a special early bird match-day menu.

The Britannia Pub
Santa Monica All teams
A mainstay of the Santa Monica promenade for two decades, the Brit, despite its name, is more an American sports bar — albeit one that offers fish and chips and a decidedly British captain’s breakfast.
Route Details
O’Connell’s Sports Pub & Grille
Huntington Beach All teams
Because it’s a basic American sports bar, European soccer is just one of the many sports that air on O’Connell’s many TVs, so don’t expect special treatment if you’re a soccer fan. However the place opens early enough on the weekends that fans can catch the late EPL games before the college football or NFL rush.

Standard Station Bar & Grill
El Segundo All teams
Standard Station isn’t affiliated with any particular supporters group so it rarely opens before 9 a.m. on weekends. Although the vibe is more American sports bar than English soccer pub, with baseball and football decor, you can catch most mid-morning EPL games on the numerous TVs in the bar and on the patio.

The Greyhound Bar & Grill
Highland Park Tottenham
The official home of the Los Angeles Tottenham Hotspur Supporters Club, the Greyhound opens early and draws enthusiastic crowds for Spurs games. The ambiance is a little different though, and the menu is far more Midwestern than Midlands, making it much more an American sports bar than a British-style pub.

The Harp Inn
Costa Mesa All teams
Orange’s County’s Irish Pub opens for 6 a.m. EPL starts and because it isn’t an official supporters bar for any one club, it draws fans from several teams including Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea, Tottenham, Arsenal, United, even Everton and Brighton. That’s why as many as five games will be on at any time on the bar’s 14 TVs.
“We always showed the games,” owner/manager John Lyons said. “But there has been more interest over the last 10 years so you can be sure if there is a game on, we will be showing it.”

O’Malley’s On Main
Seal Beach Chelsea
Home to the OC Blues supporters group since 2020, O’Malley’s offers beer specials during Chelsea games (although West Ham supporters have been begun gathering here as well). The restaurant has seven TVs, including a big screen, and opens for matches beginning at 7 a.m.
Sean Byrne, the general manager, played in the Watford youth system and his father played for Preston North End, so the people at O’Malley’s know soccer.
“Having footy in the pub means a lot to me,” said Byrne, who also shows Champions League matches and men’s and women’s national team games.

Paddy's Station
San Juan Capistrano Tottenham, Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United, West Ham, Arsenal
Paddy’s bills itself online as the “Premiere Soccer Headquarters” welcoming supporters groups backing Tottenham, Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United, West Ham and Arsenal — which means things could get a little dicey during derbies.
It opens on Saturday and Sunday by 7 a.m., early enough to catch most of the action.
