The Bar That Welcomes Your Food

The Greatest does not have a kitchen, we are a bar, and we are really good at being a bar. Cheap drinks, great cocktails, sports on every screen, and a covered patio that is built for game day. What we do not do is make you choose between great food and a great bar.

Outside food is always welcome at The Greatest. Walk in with a bag from Zacatecas across the street, grab a seat on the patio, order a round, and settle in. That is the move. Nobody is going to stop you at the door and nobody is going to give you a look. This is a neighborhood bar. Bring your food, bring your crew, stay for the game.

We put together a list of the 10 closest and best-rated restaurants within 3 miles of The Greatest so you always know where to go before you come in — or where to order delivery from while you are already here.

Order Anything You Want

Covered outdoor patio at The Greatest Hawthorne with guests enjoying outside food

No Kitchen. No Problem.

The Greatest made a deliberate choice: be the best bar it can be, not a half bar and half kitchen trying to do too much. That means the drinks are dialed in, the cocktails are strong and priced right, and the patio is built for watching sports.

What it also means is that you bring the food. Walk across the street to Zacatecas and grab a burrito. Order delivery to the bar. Stop at Cougars Burgers on the way over. It does not matter where it comes from. What matters is that you have a drink in hand, a game on the screen in front of you, and a seat on one of the best outdoor patios in Hawthorne.

The Right Way to Do Game Day

The best game day setup is not complicated. You want cold drinks, great company, every game on a screen you can actually see, and food that hits right. The Greatest handles three of those four and the neighborhood around it handles the rest.

Zacatecas is literally across the street. Al Watan is two minutes away. Submarine Crab, Catrina, and Mandy's are all within half a mile. You are never far from a great meal, and you are never asked to leave it at the door when you walk back in. That is what makes The Greatest different and that is why the regulars keep coming back.
