"An essential Playa del Rey dive bar, it’s a quick walk from the beach, and features absolutely no frills to speak of. Which is why it’s so much fun. Come here and watch the LA Rams on a TV that probably showed the St. Louis Rams win Super Bowl XXXIV" - kat hong, james montgomery
"While there’s no shortage of beach city bars with high prices and a scene, this bar, in the small beach enclave of Playa del Rey, has neither. It’s simply an unpretentious destination for locals and those looking for a chill place to catch the game, any game. Said to be the oldest sports bar in LA — built in the ‘50s and christened “Prince O’Whales” in 1972 — it features 17 TVs, two patios, ping pong, and darts — the makings of a fun night out with friends. On Mondays, score a burger and two draft beers for under $10." - Matthew Kang
"One of the original classic Westside beach dives, Prince O’Whales has everything you want in a sports bar - even during quarantine. That means they’ve got a great burger, cheap beer, and three TVs on their back patio (in addition to a functional ping pong table)." - brett keating
"Prince O’Whales is a Playa del Rey beach dive that’s a perfect place to spend a Saturday drinking copious amounts of light beer and watching all the college football you can handle. Their famous burger is good, but we usually go for the patty melt instead. Make sure you get some grilled chicken wings, too - they’re the ideal thing to snack on through an entire afternoon of games." - brett keating
"This casual Playa Del Rey spot feels like a college bar filled with surfers and people who have owned their VW van since 1972. There are a bunch of not-flatscreen TVs, a few stained ping pong tables, and two patios that smell like a mixture of the beach and a gas station. We’ll admit that sounds kind of terrible, but the laid-back crowd is what makes this place great. After a couple of whiskey shots with strangers you’ll forget all the hurtful things your agent said when you bombed that cat food audition yesterday." - brett keating
