    The game is projected on the stage, large and bright. Screens throughout the rest of the bar and sitting areas. Overall nice place. Go early, no cp time on laker games. They also offer vip booths and bottle service.
    And if you wonder if Inglewood still loves the lakers..!? Laker love runs deep here. Kobe haters welcome!
