ON THE BANDWAGON
If you’re a lover of football and traveling, a trip to LA for a Bengals game is the perfect weekend getaway. To keep you close to the football action and the fun of the city, stay at The Shay (8801 Washington Boulevard, Culver City). The hotel is about a 20-minute drive to the stadium and offers an incredible stay near a hub for the film and TV industry.
A few blocks away you’ll find Public School 310, an American gastropub with an eclectic menu, a buzzing bar, and school-inspired décor. Try some of their “liquid education” with a Hall Pass or a Most Popular. For food, try out their famous PB&J Burger or stick to a classic like a steak salad.

ALONG FOR THE RIDE
Not completely sold on the Bengals fandom yet and still looking to getaway for a weekend of football? There are a million things to do in LA and no shortage of great places to stay. Sonder the Beacon (700 Wilshire Blvd) in Santa Monica is a great location to stay. Despite being about 40 minutes away from SoFi stadium (phewf, LA traffic!), the hotel offers an incredible stay close to the water and so much fun. There is a rooftop bar, hot tub, and great food and drink. The hotel was built in 1928, transporting you back to Old Hollywood for an unforgettable stay and experience.
With no shortage of restaurants in LA, and more specifically the Santa Monica area, it’s hard to just decide on one spot to go to. However, Bengals’ will want to visit The CanTiki (11100 Magnolia Blvd). This bar in North Hollywood hosts Bengals watch parties each Game Dey! You can even get Cincinnati chili for that sweet taste of home.
