Shipmates Restaurant & Sports Bar — Restaurant in Cerritos

This place was a bit tricky to find, but once I did, I walked into a very fun themed Sports Bar! The ship decor was very fun!

They had a variety of sports playing on the TV's and so we were definitely watching some sports while enjoying our food and beverages!

Service was great, once we sat down, our server making sure that we were the entire time.

The first thing out try a new Chicken Salad on Naan bite. Which is now the Chicken Salad Dip. It had great seasoning, and the crunch from the celery!

Lumpia: Now I'm a bit bias, as a Filipina, and I do make my own, I typically make mine with mixed ground meats (either a combo of ground pork, beef, and chicken, or just beef and chicken for my kosher friends.) I don't know if it was the just beef thing, or how it's seasoned, it just tastes different from other Lumpiang Shanghai I've had. But it's still good! Once again, this is a super bias review for lumpia!!!! Please don't mind my pickiness!

Far East Nachos: This was really good! I was worried it was going to be more on the sweeter side, but the siracha sauce helped cut through all the sweetness. Definitely good for sharing, though that's what I didn't do.

Carene Asada Tots: These are great! The cheese was melty, the asada had great seasoning, and it was cooked at the perfect temp. It was actually a delicious meal.

Whiskey Spring Fling: This was so refreshing, it wasn't super sweet, but boy did that drink hit the spot!

Shirley Temple: We have to have a non-alcoholic classic somewhere, and this was made to perfection!

Overall this place was great! It's a fun sports...

I'll start with the good. The staff seemed nice and friendly. I went on Jan 9th 2025 around 5pm hoping to watch ND beat Penn State. Unfortunately, the staff informed me that the owner of the establishment does not allow service dogs, so I was told to leave. As a disabled Marine veteran, my service animal goes everywhere with me to assist with my disabilities. I was told pet or service animal, it makes no difference to the owner. This is very concerning because it is against California law. My dog is trained and was sitting under a table, not making any noise as he is trained to do. I wish I would have been able to enjoy watching the game at this establishment, but was told to go. So I took my business elsewhere. No biggie. I made no scene and camly left. I do appreciate that the staff was not rude about it. I will be filing an ADA complaint with the DOJ. I was denied service for having disabilities verified by the Dept. Of Veteran's Affairs, that I received in combat. I see on their IG page that they honor veterans, but it did not feel that way with me and my veteran friend that met me there. Hopefully there is confusion in the owner’s policy and he or she can correct it. So as it stands, it gets a low rating from...

Best Sports bar in the area. Friendly bartenders & owners. Good bar food, nice selection of beer on top (try the Sunset Wheat)

It may look like a hole in the wall from outside, but walk in & youll be suprised. Small but comfy, very clean littl joint.

The atmosphere is always friendly & upbeat. Come with a few people get a team & play some drunken trivia Thursday evenings. They usually give out prizes like free drinks or appetizers.

Thursday nights is just as cracking as friday or staurday nights. Tons of people, 20-30 something crowd, not usually any problems the crowd is always cool. Internet jukebox keeps the tunes going all night.

I had my birthday on a wednesday night with a bunch of friends and had a blast. The owner came by with a round of shots and hung out with us for a minute.. not the kind staff you would...
