Where To Watch The Lakers & Clippers In Venice Beach
Both LA teams on the big screens at Nalu Vida, a block from the sand. Sound up for the big ones, happy hour on weeknights, and never a cover.

Mon to Fri
From 5 PM
Walk-Ins Welcome
The easiest place to watch the Lakers in Venice Beach is Nalu Vida, at 1 Washington Blvd, right where Washington runs out of road and into the sand. Every Lakers game and every Clippers game goes up on our big screens, home and road, from the October openers to the final night of the regular season on April 11. When the game matters, the sound goes up.
Most weeknight tip-offs land at 7 or 7:30 PM Pacific. That gives you time to come in during happy hour, which runs 3 to 6 PM Monday through Friday, lock in a table and get food ordered before the opening tip. East Coast road games start earlier, usually between 4 and 5 PM, so those fall right inside happy hour. And on Mondays, every game comes with Burger Mondays: $9 burgers and $5 Nalu Delos from 5 PM to close.
Crosstown Nights Split The Bar
The Lakers and Clippers see each other four times this season, twice at Crypto.com Arena and twice at Intuit Dome. Those are the nights the room picks sides. Wear your colors, bring the friend who cheers for the wrong team, and book ahead, because rivalry games fill up early. Every crosstown game is flagged on the schedule below.
NBA Cup, Christmas Day And The Stretch Run
The schedule also tracks the Emirates NBA Cup, from November group play to the December knockout rounds, plus the Lakers' Christmas Day home game. Once the regular season wraps, follow the Play-In and the full bracket on our NBA Playoffs page, then the NBA Finals page in June. Every time listed is Pacific, and every game card has a Resy link with the date already filled in.
