A Raiders Fan's Guide to South LA

The Guide

Raider Nation is a seven-day-a-week commitment. The game is on Sunday, but the rest of the week we are still out here — eating, shopping, gathering, and repping the neighborhood that raised us. This is a guide to some of the spots RNSLA members love across South LA, Hawthorne, Inglewood, Compton, and the wider Southland.

This is not a definitive list and it is not an advertisement. It is just where we go when we are not at Rock It yelling at a screen.

Where We Watch

Rock It Bar & Grill in Hawthorne. Home base. No further questions. Doors open 90 minutes before kickoff and the RNSLA banner is impossible to miss. If you have never been, just show up. You will figure out the rest.

Where We Eat

South LA has some of the best food in the city and RNSLA members have strong opinions about where to go. Ask five members for a recommendation and you will get five different answers, a 20-minute argument, and an invitation to try all of them. That is the best endorsement any restaurant can get.

Where We Remember

The Coliseum. It will always be the first home. Drive past it before a road game this season and you will understand why the Silver & Black never really left Los Angeles — even when the franchise did. The tradition lives in the neighborhood, and the neighborhood is still here.
