Hollywood, Los Angeles –
In a part of town where even sports bars can have velvet ropes, Big Wangs is a relaxed and welcome retreat for ex-frat boys and their sorority counterparts who just wanna have fun in a friendly, no-frills sports bar.
While a steady stream of friends and daters clamor around the pool and beer pong tables up front, the real draw here is just through the archway in the main bar area, where twenty flat-screen TVs and their uninterrupted flow of sports broadcasts bring in waves of cheering fans, especially during football season when the place can get pretty rowdy.
Die-hard fans of both beer and sports often show up early and stay the whole day huddled on stools around tall tables, but once the final whistle blows on the screen, the real games begin as jocks and preppy guys start shouting pick-up lines to ex-cheerleaders over the thump of hip-hop and Top 40 tunes.
Football aside, Big Wangs is a great neighborhood party spot where the best passes are made between the guys and the girls, and flirting is a contact sport.
Rowdy frat and sorority types, preps, and jocks, 21 to 30.

Fridays and Saturdays are always a good bet, but Big Wangs is busy any time there’s a big game or a popular team playing – especially on Sundays during football season.
