Sportsman's Lounge

The inspiration

When Alfonso and Paula Gutierrez bought it in 2013, they revived the old lounge and ran it as a family business¹ .

Who's behind it

He and Paula Gutierrez own and run it together¹ .

What to order

• Chicken wings with fries: the venue's own standouts among its bar-food lineup¹
• Flatbreads: part of a kitchen spread that goes beyond what you would expect from a neighborhood bar¹
• Modelo Especial or Corona: the beers diners name again among the drink favorites here²

What people are saying

Diners keep coming back to the bartenders, singling out the friendly, attentive service behind the bar . Many describe it as a comfortable neighborhood dive with a laid-back crowd and a mix of ages .

Why you should try it

If you are staying in the area and want an evening with a local feel, this is a family-run lounge where the signature shots and the pool tables give you plenty to do between rounds¹ . It reads like the kind of unpretentious spot on Imperial Highway where regulars and newcomers end up on the same dance floor¹ .
