Best of LA’s Dodger Blue Guide
Being a Dodger fan in Los Angeles isn’t just about watching the games — it’s about living the blue. The Dodgers opened strong in Tokyo, and with new talent signaling the rise of a serious dynasty, the city is always finding ways to carry that Dodger Blue energy beyond the stadium.
From mural-filled neighborhoods to local dives, and even cafés with unexpected nods to team legends, LA is packed with places where fandom turns into lifestyle. This guide highlights the best Dodgers-centric experiences around the city and we’ll walk you through where to eat, where to shop, and where to celebrate.
COFAX
FAIRFAX
Cofax isn’t just named after Sandy Koufax — it’s a love letter to Dodgers history that hits before you even order. This cozy café on Fairfax is known for its excellent breakfast burritos (and don’t forget to ask for their salsa verde!), but what really makes it a Dodgers fan essential is the display of vintage bobbleheads and artwork lining the walls. You’ll find tributes to icons like Tommy Lasorda, Vin Scully, Fernando Valenzuela, and Koufax himself, all rendered in wildly different art styles — from graffiti-style canvases to pop-art interpretations. There’s no one in uniform behind the counter, but the reverence for Dodgers lore is everywhere. It’s a quiet, thoughtful kind of fandom that feels deeply LA — nostalgic, artistic, and just a little offbeat.
DODGER STADIUM
ELYSIAN PARK
Dodger Stadium, the oldest Major League Baseball stadium west of the Mississippi, is so much more than just a ballpark — it’s a cultural landmark with decades of history. From the pastel seats to the palm trees beyond the outfield, it’s a unique experience. Real Dodger fans know that grilled Dodger Dogs are a must (we highly recommend picking them saving some time at the Express stands in Loge 140–143 and Reserve 6–7), and the Top Deck offers unbeatable views of the field and the city.
Shopping spans every level and you can find limited-edition New Era caps (Sections 3, 6, 150), Nike performance gear, retro drops from ’47 Brand, and Dodgers x Hello Kitty merch in the Pavilions. Art of the Game near home plate adds a collectible edge with framed prints, used player gear, and memorabilia. If you want an in-depth Dodger experience, the daily Dodger Stadium Tours give fans behind-the-scenes access to the field, dugout, and Vin Scully Press Box. Even if you’ve been before, watching the sunset from the Top Deck still feels magical.
DODGERS CLUBHOUSE
UNIVERSAL CITYWALK + SANTA MONICA
The Dodgers Clubhouse locations in Universal CityWalk and Santa Monica are must-visit spots for fans looking to rep their team in style. At Universal CityWalk, situated near Universal Studios Hollywood, the store offers a wide selection of Dodgers gear, from jerseys and caps to memorabilia and collectibles.
Over in Santa Monica, the Clubhouse on the 3rd Street Promenade brings that same official Dodgers merchandise to the heart of the beach city, making it easy to find everything from apparel to accessories. Both locations provide a fun shopping experience with exclusive items and fan-favorite gear, so you can show off your Dodgers pride no matter where you are in Los Angeles.
SHOHEI OHTANI MURAL
LITTLE TOKYO
This stunning mural in Little Tokyo isn’t just a tribute — it’s a cultural landmark in the making. Painted after Shohei Ohtani’s arrival in LA, it bridges Japanese-American identity and Dodgers fandom with beauty and pride. Fans have started making pilgrimages to it before games or during lunch breaks. It’s a powerful visual reminder of how baseball, identity, and community intersect in this city. Grab a snack, take a pic, and soak in the symbolism.
THE SHORT STOP
ECHO PARK
Just a short walk from Dodger Stadium, The Short Stop is a longtime favorite for fans looking to grab a drink before or after the game. It’s loud, packed, and full of Dodger Blue — exactly what you want on game day. The jukebox slaps, the drinks are affordable, and the crowd brings the energy. There’s a dance floor and some pool tables in the back if you’re trying to keep the energy going past the ninth inning. One standout feature is the film photo booth, perfect for capturing the night with a little nostalgia. The bar doesn’t scream “Dodgers” in decor, but the vibe is undeniable. This is where locals go to keep the momentum alive.
33 TAPS
SILVER LAKE + DTLA
With two locations — one in Silver Lake and one Downtown — 33 Taps is a versatile go-to for catching a Dodgers game when you can’t be at the stadium. Their beer selection is solid, food is reliably good, and you’ll always find the game on.
The Silver Lake spot draws a hipper, younger crowd, while DTLA leans more after-work crew. Both spots turn into mini stadiums when the Dodgers are playing, complete with cheers and boos that echo through the bar. It's also a great place to meet fellow fans if you're rolling solo. You might even make some new friends to catch the next game with.
PIJJA PALACE
SILVER LAKE
Part sports bar, part Indian gastropub, all LA. Pijja Palace in Silver Lake has become a cult favorite for fans of every sport, but Dodgers fans especially flock here on game nights. The fusion-style menu — think malai rigatoni or tandoori wings — hits way harder than your typical bar food. There are flat screens everywhere and walls adorned with recognizable Dodger names, so you’ll feel that Dodger magic everywhere you turn. And while the energy can get rowdy, there’s a real neighborhood feel to it. It’s where you go when you want to eat and feel the vibes.
Being a Dodgers fan in Los Angeles goes far beyond the standard nine innings. It’s part of the city’s DNA — woven into where we eat, drink, hang out, and show off our love for the team. These spots all offer something a little different, but they share one thing in common — that unmistakable Dodger spirit. Dodgers fandom here isn’t just about the game because you know you’re a part of something so much bigger. It’s about identity, memory, and belonging, and lucky for us, Los Angeles gives us a thousand ways to feel that, every single day.
Without a doubt, this is a Dodger town. Every mural, burrito spot, team store, and street corner feels a little more alive when the team is on a hot streak, and right now, the city feels as energetic as ever. With Shohei settling in and a new core stepping into the spotlight, there’s never been a more exciting time to be a Dodger fan in LA. These spots are living parts of the culture, spaces where you can connect with the team’s past and present.
