Tom Bergin's

Since 1936, this Fairfax old-school haunt has served glasses of Irish coffee and plates of traditional pub grub to generations of beer-loving Angelenos. In recent years, it’s closed on and off, but new ownership seems to have gotten the swing of how to keep this neighborhood bar relevant for today’s Guiness-swilling crowds. On game days, Tom Bergin’s also functions as a neighborhood sports bar, with multiple large screen TVs pulled out for big football games. Names of regulars from over the years dot the ceilings on paper shamrocks, while a larger dining room and parking lot patio serves patrons who’d rather grab a table than a seat at the bar. The bar also serves as a venue for occasional comedy and live music nights—so check their Instagram for Tom Bergin’s latest events.
