Where to watch the Olympics in L.A.

Both locations of 33 Taps are packed with TVs and will be screening the full run of the winter games. There won’t be Olympics-themed specials, but the killer happy hour in Silver Lake means $2 off all apps and 33 percent off all beer and wine (weekdays from 3 to 6pm and a late-night happy hour from 10pm to midnight on Wednesday and Thursday). In Hollywood, catch 33 percent off drinks, and rotating food specials (3 to 6pm, weekdays). 

If you’re watching at the Silver Lake location, they’ve got flat-screens in front of the bar, behind the bar and off to the side, so no matter where you’re sitting, you’ll get a great view. At the Hollywood location, they’ve got TVs upstairs and downstairs to double your options.

At Neil Kwon’s beer-hall-cum-sports-bar, Koreatown melds with traditional German drinking aesthetics—which feels perfectly on-theme for the international games happening in PyeongChang. As you catch the games from flat-screens mounted all around the gastropub, be sure to snack on Korean-German fusion fare, including schnitzel with tangy Asian sauce; fried rice with German sausages, sauerkraut, gravy, scallions and fried egg; and beer chicken with cabbage slaw. You’ll also find alcoholic root beer floats and pitchers of beer, and at happy hour (4 to 7pm Monday to Friday) you can nab $6 well drinks and 20-percent off select dishes.

Though it’s been one of the warmest winters on recent record, you can still feel like you’re in the midst of the snowy action thanks to an ice-cold drink in hand. From February 9 to 25, this DTLA watering hole will screen the games and serve drink specials, including themed cocktails specifically for the event. Rep America with the USA USA USA (bourbon and honey shrub), Mexico with the Viva La Raza (tequila with Ancho Reyes and kaffir lime shrub), Europe with the Euro Rail (Applejack brandy with sweet vermouth and pear liqueur), Korea with the Korean BBQ (vodka with radish pickle brine, ginger and a scotch spray finish) and Nigeria with the Nigeria’s Got A Bobsled Team (Flor de Cana rum with verjus and Velvet Falernum). Feeling peckish? Win gold in the sport of Snacking with bar-bite deals on corn dogs, falafel sliders, mole tacos and more.

Catch another choice DTLA spot screening the games, with a slew of happy hour specials that’ll run the duration of the Olympics. Curl up with a book and a $6 glass of wine at Library Bar, where a large screen in a cozy lounge will provide all the figure skating and cross-country skiing your heart desires—not to mention $6 beers, $8 cocktails, $5 vegan and non-vegan bar bites, and $6 glasses of house red, white and sparkling wine.

STK is going all-in and throwing daily viewing parties called “the STK Games,” complete with “shot shows” and—perhaps most on-theme of all—shot skis, which you can line up and take with your friends. (If Cool Runnings taught us anything, it’s that it’s important to be a team player.) From February 9 through 23, find the Games on STK’s multiple flat-screens, and keep your eyes peeled for specials like the the Winner’s Podium—a trio of lemon drop shots with gold, silver and bronze sugar rims, served in crushed ice with a small silver seafood tower—and the Olympic Torch Dessert, which is essentially a flaming cotton candy volcano with strawberry shortcake dessert in the center.

While the Korean Cultural Center won’t show the PyeongChang games, you can still stop by for a Winter Olympics movie night. And truly, where better to revel than in a Korean cultural hub, surrounded by  ambassadors? On February 22, from 7 to 9pm, catch a free screening of The Cutting Edge, an early-‘90s romcom that pairs a former hockey star with a champion figure skater who bicker, flirt and take their talents all the way to the Olympics.
