football

The California Live team and I were well and truly feeling the football fever this game day, and we decided to bring you along for the journey!

While Danielle Nottingham and Paul Costabile kicked things off at Big Wang’s in North Hollywood with beer, wings, and football trivia, I had the pleasure of visiting another SoCal hotspot, Gallagher’s Irish Pub and Grill Long Beach, where the celebrations were in full swing!

Opened in 2006 by Irish owner Ciara Gallagher, Gallagher’s is known for its delicious “Gourmet Irish” food, traditional drink, great live Irish music, trivia night, and of course, Niner Empire game day celebrations!

Among the excited Niner faithfuls were some members of the SoCal Niner Empire Club, a club filled with only the most trusted and dedicated members that have been dedicating their time to providing community service in the Long Beach area since 2007. From them, I learned all about the work that goes into making game day so special in Gallagher’s, including the famous touchdown shot tradition, which, I have to say, looks like a lot of fun! 

Whether you are a Rams fan, a Niners faithful, or somewhere in the middle, there’s always a place in California where you can cheer your team on!
