Find Your Pre-Game Ritual
Before a big game — especially for your favorite team — the pre-game ritual is essential. Whether it’s fueling up with a killer breakfast, taking a yoga or spin class at a local gym, treating yourself to a pampering spa day, exploring WeHo street art or taking a hike on one of Los Angeles’ many scenic trails, West Hollywood has everything you need to help you get your game face on.
Catch the Game at a Local Sports Bar
West Hollywood is known for buzzy nightlife, and we’re also home to a wide range of sports bars for pre-gaming, post-gaming or all of the above.

Hit the Legendary Sunset Strip
No weekend in WeHo is complete without a visit to The Sunset Strip. Classic rock ‘n’ roll meets modern luxury in this world-famous nightlife hub. If you’re planning to catch a game on The Strip, head over to the Heartbreak Saloon. This Western-themed sports bar shows every college football and NFL game, along with excellent drink specials and bar snacks like wings and hot dogs.
Keep the party going at Whisky a Go Go, the Viper Room and other famed Sunset Strip venues with live music or DJs most nights. Once your night is over, be sure to grab a cheeseburger or pizza at one of WeHo’s late-night eateries.
Find Your Morning-After Remedy
A weekend of celebrating can take its toll, but have no fear — West Hollywood is home to many breakfast and brunch spots that can cure even the most severe hangover.
Stroll from your hotel to grab a Brisket Verde Breakfast Burrito at Dialog Café or a stack of OG Oatmeal Griddle Cakes topped with whipped sea-salted butter at Breakfast by Salt’s Cure. And if those don’t do the trick, try a little hair of the dog with a Butcher’s Bloody Mary — garnished with celery, pickles, olives and an optional ham, bacon and grilled cheese sandwich — at The Butcher, The Baker, The Cappuccino Maker.
