When it comes to seafood in Los Angeles, you should never settle for anything less than great.

Thankfully, Connie & Ted’s has you covered on both fronts. Here, you can pull up to the bar and set your sights on a number of TVs featuring the most important games while throwing back oysters and handcraft cocktails.

Surely we had to have one classic sports bar on here. And for those who aren’t regulars in Los Feliz, don’t let the old-timey sign food you. Ye Rustic Inn is the kind of dive that upholds Southern California’s reputation for having the best watering holes in strip malls. And while you watch the game, you also get to enjoy some of the best wings in town.
Happy football season and may you find the perfect place for game day viewing!
