The Pawn Shop was born from a simple truth: Los Angeles has plenty of sports fans—but not enough places that truly show up for them.
We’re changing that. What started in a neighborhood pawn shop is becoming a bar where every detail—design, food, energy—is built to match the passion of the crowd.
This isn’t just another sports bar. It’s the one LA has been waiting for.

ABOUT US

The Sports Bar LA Deserves

Pawn Shop is where every detail — food, layout, screens, and sound — is dialed in to feel like game day matters. It’s the energy, the pacing, and the shared highs and heartbreaks of a room full of people who care.

You're not just close to the action — you’re in it.
And when it’s built by fans, for fans, the whole experience hits differently.

Our Mission

Pawn Shop was built for the moments that make being a fan unforgettable — the buzzer-beaters, the heartbreaks, the high fives with strangers who suddenly feel like teammates. In a city that’s long needed a true home for sports lovers, we’re showing up with great food, real energy, and a bar that finally gets it.

Built by fans. For fans. Game on in 2026.

The Culture

Pawn Shop isn’t a theme — it’s a tribute to sports culture and the people who make it matter.

Not a chain. Not a corporate play.
Just a real bar, built the right way, in the city that deserves it.
