Watch Lakers Playoff Games at Benjies Deli and the Bamboo Lounge

The Lakers are 1-0 in the final series of the playoffs and it’s looking good. They’ve finally got in a groove on defense. But probably the most comforting aspect of the game for me was that Doc River’s strategy was to stop Kobe. Not only did the Celtics fail at stopping Kobe—for the most part—but Kobe was only part of their problem. Kobe and Gasol, the gruesome twosome, had a combined 53 points in the game and kept linking up. The entire Lakers triangle offense kept the entire team scoring well. The Celtics brought their own renowned defense to the game along with intensity, but it wasn’t anywhere near enough. The next game should be closer in scoring, considering the Celtics will be more reluctant to allow their big three to get into foul trouble early.

We still have our work cut out for us if we want to pull this series off, but we’re off to an optimistic start. That being said, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t dress up head to toe in gold and purple for Sunday’s game and come to Benjies Deli to be with your friends. Enjoy some of their new Kobe Beef Sliders and watch the Celtics fail at stopping one of Kobe’s runs. (more…)

Sports Fans: We Welcome You!

Lakers' forward Pau Gasol has helped the team clinch the No. 1 seed in the West

March Madness may be over, but sports are still in full swing in April—and beyond. The NBA is ramping up for their playoffs season, with the Cleveland Cavaliers, Orlando Magic and, of course, the Los Angeles Lakers all having secured their spot. In fact, the LA Lakers have clinched the number one seed in the Western Conference the third year running. Lakers fans, we’re not surprised, are we? Now let’s just make sure we make it all the way to the trophy like last year!

For those of you who like your sports outdoors with grass and diamonds, we are lucky to have two great teams in our area: the Los Angeles Dodgers and Western Division champions the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Just like grass? Soccer fans know that the Los Angeles Galaxy season is on now, with the team enjoying a recent win over Houston. And there’s only 60 days to go before the World Cup is played in South Africa…

The action is ramping up, and it’s hard to get tickets for every game you want to see, whether it be for basketball, baseball or soccer. But the Bamboo Lounge at Benjies Deli has six screens of sports action every day of the week. There’s a full bar and plenty of seating for you and all of your friends, plus a tasty menu of bar snacks that keeps updating throughout the week. If you want to make it more of a meal, Benjies full menu is available in the bar, so you don’t have to miss a minute of the action.

Baseball fans love their hot dogs (especially at Dodger Stadium!), and Benjies Deli has delicious Coney hot dogs, Coney chili dogs and the Francheesy, the most deluxe dog ever. You’ll never miss the lines at the stadium after watching a game at the Bamboo Lounge! Enjoy watching the Lakers with a corned beef, pastrami and swiss cheese triple-decker sandwich as tall as Derek Fisher, or salute soccer star David Beckham with a plate of fish and chips. Or just order a few of our deli platters, like the cold cut buffet or the 16″ ring sandwich tray. With our deli platters, no one has to worry about ordering, they can just grab a sandwich while they watch their favorite team.

All of our deli platters are available for home parties too! Make sure you call 48-72 hours ahead to order before your event. That way you can have Benjies Deli do all the work while you relax and take all the credit. Benjies Deli makes entertaining at home easy and delicious.
