Though not huge, this Irish bar has pretty much everything else that a Pats fan could want: The game on every TV, like-minded company, good beer, and good food. They even have lobster rolls!

The live music on Friday nights is amazing. And don't forget to order one of Chef Joe's incredible selections off the menu. The Sonny's burger w/ a homemade veggie patty is one of my favs!

Sonny McLean's is THE Boston sports bar in Los Angeles, and probably the only place in L.A. you could wear a Celtics jersey and be reasonably shielded from public ridicule. Read more

Happy hour drinks are a dollar off and all the apps are awesome. Mozz sticks and chicken bites are trill.

If it's around the Holidays, order the Mulled Wine in the crock pot. Warm and spiced just right.

Had a great conversation with the new owners the other day. Down to earth, big fans of the Pats... Good stuff!

Feels like you're stepping into Boston when you walk in the door. Incredible beer and wine list. Lots of good local stuff. But they don't serve liquor

Free parking in the back! Double-parking for most of the spots, though.

23 HD TVs, 36 taps and really good gastro pub food. Great place for lunch and Jenny the waitress is super cool.
