SoCAL HAS A LOT TO DO.

We have lots of reasons to

START HERE.

Southern California has so much to offer. El Segundo makes it easier to enjoy. 15 hotels. Walkable restaurants, bars, and local shopping. Free parking, citywide. Quick access to beaches, stadiums, theme parks, and LAX. It’s the smart place to stay, dine, shop and start whatever adventures brought you here — especially if that’s the big, important football game happening in Los Angeles this February.

A packed sports bar erupts in celebration as fans in Los Angeles Chargers jerseys and hats raise their arms and cheer. A large screen above the bar shows a football game in progress, with more TVs mounted along the walls.

YOUR BIG GAME PLAN

The Big Game weekend is coming, and visitors who choose El Segundo will start the drive with ideal field position. Hotels, food, free parking, and great pregame and postgame spots deliver a lot more than just a plan for game day.

HAVE A FREEWAY-FREE DAY

Whether you’re here on business or vacation, SoCal has a lot to offer, and El Segundo is the ultimate starting place. But seeing and doing great things doesn’t have to mean spending half your trip in traffic. Instead, check out our plan for a great day that’s “freeway-free.”

Foodies for the win

SoCal has become a culinary wonderland, and El Segundo is much more than an appetizer. Here you’ll discover fine dining, an ocean of sushi, tons of tacos, craft beer and spirits, killer coffee and decadent desserts are always steps away.

HEALTH & WELLNESS

El Segundo is more than a coastal city—it’s a portal to renewal. A place where beach runners mingle with hot yogis over a delicious and detoxifying green tea.
Some trips make you drive all over SoCAL.

We make SoCal feel closer to the spots you’ll want to be.

Stay near LAX. Walk to dinner. Find the good beer. Shop local. Skip the parking drama. Then head to the beach, the game, the meeting, or the next thing on your list.

SOME SPEND VACATIONS IN SoCAL TRAFFIC.

We give fans a playbook for the entire Big Game weekend.

PRO FOOTBALL IS ALL ABOUT FIELD POSITION.

Whether you’re flying in for the Big Game, heading to SoFi Stadium, or looking for the best place to enjoy the Big Game Weekend, choosing El Segundo is like starting your drive from the 50-yard line.

Seven miles from the stadium. Minutes from LAX. Packed with hotels, restaurants, bars, shopping, easy parking, and local spots that don’t require a three-hour traffic strategy just to get a good meal.

Plans still coming together? El Segundo has comfortable hotel options close to LAX, SoFi Stadium, and all the food, drinks, shopping, and local flavor that make the weekend a win, no matter what happens on the field.  

Friday/Saturday

PREGAME PREP

A good game plan starts long before the kickoff. For Super fans, it starts at check-in. Drop your bags. Get your bearings. Find a local pour. Wander a little. This is the part of the weekend where doing less is the smartest play.

Shopping, dining, working out, wandering, or just giving the team that can’t agree on a dinner spot a chance to break from the huddle and do their own thing.

Open Mon-Sat 10a-9p; Sun 11a-7p. Tenant hours may vary.

Natural wine, flowers, gifts, and a softer landing than whatever just happened at baggage claim. Stop in for a bottle, a bouquet, and proof that sometimes, football is really all about finesse.

Open Thu-Fri 4p-8p; Sat 12p-8p; Sun 11a-5p. Closed Mon-Wed.

Japanese-Italian pasta on Main Street, because when it comes to building a team of killer restaurants, El Segundo recruits worldwide. Wafu-style pasta, lunch, dinner, and a good option when the group wants something new.

Open Sun-Thu 11a-9p; Fri-Sat 11a-10p. 

Sunday Morning

FIRST AND TEN

Big Game weekends reward the players who prepare. Coffee is non-negotiable. Breakfast helps. A fancy brunch brings it all into focus. 

Coffee, boba, matcha, and caffeine diplomacy for groups that landed at different energy levels. Easy morning fuel before the day starts calling plays.

Open daily 8a-9:30p.

Breakfast burritos, tacos, brunch, margaritas, and the kind of first meal that makes everybody feel like the plan is working. And if breakfast wants to become lunch, you can always run that option.

Open Sun-Thu 8a-8:30p; Fri-Sat 8a-9p. Breakfast daily 8a-11a; brunch Sat-Sun 11a-3p; lunch Mon-Fri 11a-3p; dinner daily 3p-close. 

Like pairing a great QB and a stellar Running Back, coffee and a breakfast burrito pair up for the win. 

These two spots share the same piece of sidewalk, with common picnic tables in between. A great lateral play if there ever was one.

Phanny’s: Tue-Sun 7a-2p. Closed Mondays. Offset: Open daily 7a-4p. 

Sunday Afternoon

SHORT YARDAGE

Not every meal needs a long drive, a valet, and a group text with twelve opinions. Sometimes the best move is the easiest one. 

Great Pizza. Delicious Soft serve. Done. Some plays don’t need a booth review. This Main Street slice shop keeps the menu tight for anyone running a no-huddle offense.

Open Sun-Wed 11a-9p; Thu-Sat 11a-10p. 

Sandwiches built for people who may or may not already be thinking about the fourth quarter. Easy pickup, party boxes, and lunch that travels well if the day refuses to sit still.

Open daily 8a-8p.

A 14-seat handroll bar for when your team is small but your standards are not. Clean, focused, quick if you time it right, and a much better idea than eating something from a hotel lobby cooler.

Open daily 12p-9p.

Pre-Game

RED ZONE READY

This is when the weekend starts getting louder. The texts are coming in. The rides are being discussed. Someone is asking where everyone should meet. You’ll need a jumping-off point. And it better not be boring. This is where field position really matters. 

BBQ, big screens, cocktails, beer, bocce, shuffleboard, axe throwing, and enough room for the group chat to finally become a real group. If Big Game weekend needs a pregame headquarters, this one comes with sauce.

Open Sun-Thu 11:30a-9:30p; Fri-Sat 11:30a-10:30p.

Warm up without a helmet. Hit a few balls, grab food and drinks, watch the clock, and keep everyone in one spot before the weekend narrows down to one very important ride.

Open Mon-Thu 9a-12a; Fri 9a-1a; Sat 8a-1a; Sun 8a-12a. 

Afternoon

THE SEVEN-MILE DRIVE

Super Weekend? El Segundo says “START HERE.” 

With SoFi Stadium just seven miles away, El Segundo gives you the rarest thing in Big Game weekend planning: A simple first move. Book your rideshare or plan your public transit route well in advance. Give yourself time for stadium traffic and security. Keep the pregame close, the postgame closer, and the weekend out of the chaos as much as possible. 

Good field position doesn’t happen by accident. 

Open Mon-Thu 3:30p-9p; Fri-Sat 12p-10p; Sun 12p-8p

Post-Game

THE VICTORY FORMATION

Win, lose, or whatever just happened in the final two minutes, the night doesn’t end in Inglewood.  Instead, call your team meeting back to El Segundo. Get dinner. Get a drink. Get dessert. Get very smug about how well your game plan played out.

Steak, bourbon, cocktails, and the kind of postgame dinner that says “this weekend had a budget and we used it wisely.” Social Hour gives you an early angle; late-night menu gives you a second one.

Open Tue-Fri 4p-9:30p; Sat 5:30p-9:30p; Sun 5p-9p. Dinner Tue-Sat 5:30p-9p; Sun 5p-8:30p. Closed Mondays.

For a quieter postgame call, come back to the wine bar. Good pours, good bites, and the precise opposite of yelling into a rideshare app outside a stadium.

Open Tue-Thu 3p-9p; Fri-Sat 3p-10p; Sun 3p-8p. Closed Mondays. 

Dessert is all about clock management. Grab ice cream, keep the night easy. It’s a big win for you (even if your favorite team lost).

Open Sun-Thu 12p-10p; Fri-Sat 12p-11p.

Monday Morning

OVERTIME

Hotel check-out time doesn’t mean the game’s over. If the flight is later, the meetings are done, or nobody is quite ready to rejoin reality, El Segundo has a few plays left. 

A hands-on local stop for people who want to make something that is not another airport memory. Book a class or workshop ahead, then go home with a better souvenir than a lanyard.

Open daily 9a-9p. Classes and workshops require booking. 

Public skate, hockey energy, and a very acceptable way to keep the sports weekend going without sitting in another stadium seat.

Open Mon-Fri 6a-8p; Sat 6a-7p; Sun 8a-4:30p. Public skate sessions vary by rink calendar.

Check out the full list of shops, hotels and restaurants.

UPDATED 2-13-2026

SOME SPEND VACATIONS IN SoCAL TRAFFIC.

We’ve got an itinerary for a freeway-free day.

START HERE.

And, just for today, stay here.
 
Make today the one day you’ll simply park the car — and surprise, that’s free city-wide. Walk a little. Eat well. Shop local. Hit the beach. Get a drink. Be inspired by public art. Make something with your hands. Save room for dessert. And, above all, just enjoy the feeling of not having to fight your way over to the HOV lane.  Welcome to your freeway-free day.

Plans still coming together? El Segundo has comfortable hotel options close to LAX, local restaurants, shopping, bars, beaches, and everything else you need to let the rental car sit there and think about what it’s done.

Want a better morning?

PARK IT.

A good freeway-free day starts with a simple decision: Where to park the car. And unlike the experience you’ll have next door in L.A. — here, it’s pretty darn easy. And always free. Next, find your coffee, a little breakfast and give your map app a morning off. It’s been through enough.

Old-school breakfast. Big plates. Strong coffee. Red booths. The kind of place where you could believe “no freeway today” is actually “freeway not invented yet.

Open Tue-Fri 6a-2p; Sat-Sun 7a-1p. Closed Mondays

Iconic L.A. donuts without the iconic L.A. battle on the 405. Easy to reach, easy to justify, very easy to bring a dozen back to the hotel.

Open Mon-Thu 6a-7p; Fri-Sat 6a-8p; Sun 6a-7p

A Main Street coffee stop with the most Main Street vibes you can imagine. Named for the famous El Segundo-native insect, this place has 100% character and zero reasons to rush.

Open daily 6a-7p

While A.M. becomes P.M.

WALK IT OFF.

At this point, some itineraries would tell you to get back in the car and go somewhere “nearby,” which in Los Angeles can mean anything from 12 minutes to a full Hollywood feature film character arc. Not today. Today, nearby means nearby.

Main Street Wandering

Grab a second cup o’ joe. Go for the flavor shot. Look in a window. Find a local shop. Tell the owner you’re “just browsing…” and then buy something, because that’s kinda how browsing works. They don’t call El Segundo Mayberry by the Sea for nothing. Our downtown has the rarest thing in Southern California̦—places worth walking to, owned by locals worth talking to.

Part antique shop, part treasure hunt, part record store for people who still believe the dollar bin can change your life. You might recognize owners Laurence and Sally from Storage Wars and Baggage Battles, but the real show is oddities, collectibles, and vinyl crate-digging without the boutique-record-store attitude.

Open Thu-Mon 9a-5:30p. Closed Tue-Wed.

No admission gate. No complicated plan. Just ocean, sand, sky, and a strong argument for not overscheduling every minute of a Southern California trip.

Lunch Time

HOLD THE LANE CHANGES.

Lunch should not require freeway timing, parking lot circling, and a group text that starts with “Ok, what’s everybody’s ETA?” Today, you’ll keep it close. Keep it tasty. And keep moving, only if you feel like it.

Pizza and cold draft beer crafted right down the street at El Segundo Brewing Company. These are the pleasures that make for the kind of lunch that somehow takes the rest of the afternoon.

Open Sun-Thu 11:30a-10p; Fri-Sat 11:30a-11p

Sushi, ramen and smoky soy sauce that is to die for. And on top of that, Japonica has a Main Street location that makes lunch an easy stop if you’re already downtown, and doesn’t involve an off-ramp if you’re not.

Open Sun-Thu 11a-9p; Fri-Sat 11a-10p

SoCal is famous for taquerias. So much so, that visitors have been known to put 600 miles on a rental car driving around to find the best one. Local tip — they’re all good. Which means the best one is usually the one you can walk to.

Open Mon-Wed 10a-10p; Thu-Sat 10a-11p; Sun 10a-10p

Afternoon

CHOOSE YOUR FREEWAY-FREE ADVENTURE.

Some afternoons call for shopping. Some call for ice skating. Some call for a ceramics class. This afternoon calls for a decision… but one that doesn’t involve an HOV lane transponder.

A hands-on local stop for people who want a souvenir of the DIY variety. Book a class or workshop ahead, then go home with a better gift than whatever you might otherwise have panic-bought at LAX.

Open daily 9a-9p. Classes and workshops require booking.

Public skate, hockey energy, and a very acceptable way to add something active to the day without driving halfway across L.A. County.

Open Mon-Fri 6a-8p; Sat 6a-7p; Sun 8a-4:30p. Public skate sessions vary by rink calendar.

Hit a few balls, grab food and drinks, let the group get competitive in the friendliest possible way. A strong move for families, friends, coworkers, or anyone who likes the idea of athletic competitions where the players have a waitstaff.

Open Mon-Thu 9a-12a; Fri 9a-1a; Sat 8a-1a; Sun 8a-12a

Afternoon

HAPPY HOUR SHOULD NEVER BE FAR AWAY. 

Some cities clear out at five. Ours gets a lot more interesting. This is the part of the day where the freeway-free decision starts looking less like a travel tip and more like a lifestyle choice.

Focused, independent, and built for people who care what’s in the glass. A short walk or very short drive, depending on where the day has taken you.

Open Mon-Thu 3:30p-9p; Fri-Sat 12p-10p; Sun 12p-8p

A self-pour tap wall built for groups with different opinions and no interest in forming a committee. Beer, food, Main Street, done.

Open Mon 11a-9p; Tue-Thu 11a-10p; Fri-Sat 11a-11p; Sun 10a-9p

Big patio, big menu, big rock ’n’ roll energy, and enough room for families, friends, coworkers, or whoever became part of the crew along the way.

Open Mon-Thu 11:30a-9p; Fri 11:30a-10p; Sat 11a-10p; Sun 11a-8p

Evening

DINNER WITHOUT THE DRIVE.

By now, you could be somewhere else. You’d have checked traffic. Compare arrival times. Circled the block looking for a meter so long that you wondered if the place was even worth it. But you’re not somewhere else. Today you started here, and stayed here.

Bold Mexican flavors with coastal California polish, strong margarita game, and a Main Street setting that makes dinner feel like part of the day instead of a new expedition.

Open Mon-Thu 11:30a-8:30p; Fri 11:30a-9:30p; Sat 11a-9:30p; Sun 11a-8:30p

Seafood, steak, cocktails, and live-jazz so good that folks from all over SoCal hit the freeways just to feel the vibes you just walked to.

Open Mon-Thu 4p-9p; Fri-Sat 4p-10p; Sun 4p-9p

Big groups, big tables, extraordinarily big steaks. If your freeway-free day needs a full-tilt final meal, this is the walk-or-short-drive answer.

Open Mon-Thu 11a-10p; Fri-Sat 11a-10:30p; Sun 11a-9p

Dessert

GOOD TO THE LAST STOP.

Great gelato you can walk to is dangerously easy to justify. Your freeway-free day deserves a finish that doesn’t involve brake lights.

Open Mon-Thu 12p-9p; Fri-Sat 11a-10p; Sun 12p-9p

A sweet stop at The Point, surrounded by enough open-air wandering to make dessert feel less like an indulgence and more like a destination.

Open daily 11a-11p

Check out the full list of shops, hotels and restaurants.

UPDATED 2-13-2026

FOODIES, START HERE

If you’re reading this, you probably already know SoCal is a gourmet paradise. But what might surprise you is how incredible, how accessible, how free-parkable a culinary adventure to El Segundo can be.

From chef-driven haute cuisine to legendary casual eats, coffee, desserts, craft breweries and even a distillery tour, you’ll find it all – and then some.

Plans still coming together? El Segundo has comfortable hotel options close to LAX, SoFi Stadium, and all the food, drinks, shopping, and local flavor that make the weekend a win, no matter what happens on the field.  

FINE DINING

Discover a world of cuisine, from new American to Italian to Japanese and more. The common thread is creative chefs who are willing to explore, invent and delight. 

Before there was El Segundo, there was Rancho Sausal – the vast, sprawling coastal ranchland settled by Mexican rancheros from what was then called Alta California. Today, it’s the inspiration for both Sausal’s name and its menu, which combines authentic Mexican cooking with farm-to-table ingredients, along with mean signature house sangria.

Open Tue-Fri 6a-2p; Sat-Sun 7a-1p. Closed Mondays

Chef Jackson Kalb learned from the very best – working for the famed Joel Robuchon in Las Vegas, and Three Michelin-Star Alinea in Chicago. Today, he practices his craft – and his passion for making pasta in-house every single day – at the Jame Enoteca in the heart of El Segundo.

Open Thu-Fri 4p-8p; Sat 12p-8p; Sun 11a-5p. Closed Mon-Wed.

Adventurous as we foodies may be, sometimes only a classic American steakhouse meal will do. If it’s going to be that kind of evening, Paul Martin’s American Grill offers a full menu of the classics, sourced through direct relationships with some of the world’s most talented and conscientious ranchers, fishermen, farmers and vintners.

Open Sun-Thu 11a-9p; Fri-Sat 11a-10p. 

DRINK & BE MERRY

If you appreciate craft in your brews, spirits and cocktails, El Segundo is a wonderland of opportunity. Here, you’ll find some of the West Coast’s most sought-after beers on tap, alongside local craft brews, and even a distillery which offers both tours and tastings. 

If you’re feeling indulgent, consider spending the night. 

Get local at this classic neighborhood pub. Games on lots of TVs, great beers on tap, far from work-week stress.

Open daily 8a-9:30p.

In the spirit of California’s epic wine trails, El Segundo offers a chance to hop between bars, microbreweries and tap houses which feature amazing local beer, wine and spirits. Best of all, you can (and should) do it on foot. Start here.

Open Sun-Thu 8a-8:30p; Fri-Sat 8a-9p. Breakfast daily 8a-11a; brunch Sat-Sun 11a-3p; lunch Mon-Fri 11a-3p; dinner daily 3p-close. 

YOU HAD US AT BRUNCH

With so many great options for those looking to come early or stay overnight, you can’t go wrong in El Segundo. Have a lounge-y lavish brunch, then hit one of El Segundo’s great museums, or enjoy some sun and sand. 

California made the breakfast burrito a brunch classic, Bread & Butter made them famous. You’re sure to love any one of their eight breakfast burritos on the menu, but good luck deciding which one.

Open Sun-Wed 11a-9p; Thu-Sat 11a-10p. 

Find great brunch and more in this friendly spot where neighbors and travelers gather for fun, friendly meals.

Open daily 8a-8p.

Locals love our cozy booths, ambient patio, and smiling staff. Stop by to check out our unique selection of craft beers or stay for brunch and enjoy a Mimosa or Bloody Mary with our new made-from-scratch Buttermilk Pancakes.

Open daily 12p-9p.

JUST DESSERTS

Have your “just desserts,” or simply have dessert first. Options for satisfying your sweet tooth abound all over El Segundo. Save room! 

Van Leeuwen is known nationwide, but their El Segundo store occupies a patch of the courtyard at The Point, surrounded by wonderful shopping and dinner options.

Open Mon-Thu 3:30p-9p; Fri-Sat 12p-10p; Sun 12p-8p

Open Mon-Thu 3:30p-9p; Fri-Sat 12p-10p; Sun 12p-8p

If you’re reading this, you probably already know SoCal is a gourmet paradise. But what might surprise you is how incredible, how accessible, how free-parkable a culinary adventure to El Segundo can be.

From chef-driven haute cuisine to legendary casual eats, coffee, desserts, craft breweries and even a distillery tour, you’ll find it all – and then some.

FINE DINING

Discover a world of cuisine, from new American to Italian to Japanese and more. The common thread is creative chefs who are willing to explore, invent and delight.

Sausal
Before there was El Segundo, there was Rancho Sausal – the vast, sprawling coastal ranchland settled by Mexican rancheros from what was then called Alta California. Today, it’s the inspiration for both Sausal’s name and its menu, which combines authentic Mexican cooking with farm-to-table ingredients, along with mean signature house sangria.

Jame Enoteca
Chef Jackson Kalb learned from the very best – working for the famed Joel Robuchon in Las Vegas, and Three Michelin-Star Alinea in Chicago. Today, he practices his craft – and his passion for making pasta in-house every single day – at the Jame Enoteca in the heart of El Segundo.

Paul Martin’s American Grill
Adventurous as we foodies may be, sometimes only a classic American steakhouse meal will do. If it’s going to be that kind of evening, Paul Martin’s American Grill offers a full menu of the classics, sourced through direct relationships with some of the world’s most talented and conscientious ranchers, fishermen, farmers and vintners.

DRINK & BE MERRY

If you appreciate craft in your brews, spirits and cocktails, El Segundo is a wonderland of opportunity. Here, you’ll find some of the West Coast’s most sought-after beers on tap, alongside local craft brews, and even a distillery which offers both tours and tastings.
