Where to watch and celebrate Dodgers Game 3
With Game 3 at Dodger Stadium tonight, local bars and restaurants have rolled out extra TVs, blue-themed menu items and special events to keep the energy high. Here’s a practical guide to spots near the ballpark, what they’re offering and what to expect if you join the crowd.
Why local spots matter tonight
After the Dodgers responded to a Game 1 loss with a 5-1 win in Game 2, neighborhoods around the stadium are expecting big turnouts. Many businesses have added temporary seating, boosted TV capacity and partnered with pop-ups or players for limited-edition items — a short-term lift for nearby restaurants and a rally point for fans.
Featured places to watch and what they’re serving
Benny Boy Brewing — Lincoln Heights
Dog-friendly brewery with a large backyard garden and multiple screens. They’re pouring Bullpen Dawg Hazy IPA, a collab beer featuring pitcher Alex Vesia’s likeness, sold on tap and in four-packs. Expect rotating food pop-ups and outdoor sound for every pitch.
LaSorted’s — Chinatown
Pizzeria turned Dodgers shrine a few blocks from the stadium. Running two World Series specials — an al pastor slice with Taquería Frontera and a hot honey maple bacon dog inspired by Toronto — plus five indoor TVs and an 80-inch patio screen. Note: $50 per person minimum for parties.
Takoyaki Tanota — Little Tokyo / Downtown
Known for takoyaki and a fan-favorite Shohei Ohtani combo. Their $17 Shohei special pairs four takoyaki with a Shohei Blue cocktail; the drink is also available a la carte. Small space, so plan to arrive early or takeout if you want the combo.
Pink’s Hot Dogs — Fairfax
Iconic stand repainted Dodger blue for the Series. Selling a Blue’s Dog for $8.22 with proceeds to the L.A. Dodgers Foundation; Pink’s also commits a minimum donation. Great quick-stop option before or after the game, but expect lines.
Guisados — Echo Park
Top taqueria known for its horchata; for home games they dye it blue (“Dodgerata”) at select locations. Walkable from the ballpark and ideal for families who want a local flavor with a festive twist.

Practical tips and what to watch next
Arrive early: parking near Dodger Stadium fills fast on World Series nights and many restaurants require reservations or have minimums. Use public transit or ride-hailing where possible. Expect heightened foot traffic and possible road controls around the stadium after the game.
Check specials and limits: some items are limited-edition or available only on home-game days. If you’re after a specific menu item (the Bullpen Dawg IPA, the Shohei combo or the Blue’s Dog), call ahead or follow the venue’s social channels for availability updates.
Community impact and charity: spots like Pink’s are donating proceeds to the Dodgers Foundation; supporting these specials channels revenue to local causes while keeping the fan culture alive.
What to watch during the series
- Weather and wind advisories — Santa Ana winds and temps can affect crowd comfort and travel.
- Team roster notices and late scratches — small-business promotions tied to players may shift if a player is unavailable.

FAQs
- Can I bring my dog to watch the game?
Some places like Benny Boy Brewing are dog-friendly; always check the venue’s pet policy before you go. - Do I need a reservation?

Most themed items run on home-game days only and may be limited in quantity; verify with the restaurant. - Is public transit a good option?
