Day or night, Casey's Irish Pub's underground location provides a dimly lit yet cheery escape from your everyday. Doors open around lunchtime on weekdays for professionals looking for a hearty Irish meal or a burger and a Guinness to wash it down. Night-owls come for "pickle back" shots and the sports pub vibe, or a good conversation with a friendly bartender.
Downtown's Irish pub, Casey's, is widely known in Los Angeles as a must-hit spot when St. Patty's Day rolls around. But this gem of a gastropub has got a lot more going for it than just a seasonal passion. Casey’s is also a perfect place to watch the World Cup this year. Outside there’s a fairly large patio area set up underneath little white string lights where loads of people shuffle out to have a chat and a pint (or an occasional smoke) with friends. Surrounded by a perimeter of large illuminated Guinness signs, this deck area is a great place to ease into the soccer mayhem that will ensue indoors. Once inside, you’ll find people playing darts, fans posted up at the bar, and groups crowded around wooden tables snacking on calamari, and washing down a helping of Sheppard’s pie with a nice cold pint of beer. Opening early in order to catch all the best World Cup matches, there are tons of large television screens to watch from, and even more seating. And for those that thinking drinking is an important part of the overall World Cup viewing experience, Casey's can definitely check of a win in alcohol column. Their drinking menu, which is three pages longer than their food menu, contains a mind-boggling amount of different drinks to choose from. From single malt whiskey to tap beer and beer cocktails, you and your crew will have no shortage of drinks to indulge in while you watch your team go for the goal during the World Cup.
