What people wrote
- CNN / Eatocracy “Ask serious LA chefs where they go for sports and the reply is typically Goal.” Executive chef Jonah Johnson’s kitchen — pineapple brown-sugar ham and the rest of the board — is the reason the room got national ink, not only local listings.
- The Infatuation TVs on the walls and overhead, every league package on the board: “ESPN Central Command. Better food, though.” Address listed as 8334 W 3rd St, Los Angeles, CA 90048.
- Time Out Los Angeles Leather booths, hometown teams, weeknight happy hour with discounted drafts and $5 pub plates. The 3rd Street sports cafe, not a Sunset bottle-service room.
- Thrillist Wood-toned tavern, massive arrow-shaped bar, vintage game photos, 13 flatscreens you can see from anywhere in the room.
- Eater LA Covered Goal as one of LA’s first high-end sports bars on West Third Street when the city still split between chain wings and a single flickering TV in a dive.
