You just landed at LAX. You could open an app, wait for a surge-priced Uber, and sit in airport traffic. Or — you could skip all that, stretch your legs after the flight, and walk straight to Melody Bar & Grill in about 15 minutes flat. We're the closest bar and restaurant to LAX, sitting right on Sepulveda Blvd at 9132 S. Sepulveda Blvd, Westchester. Cold drink ready, your seat's waiting.
Watch the full walkthrough video below — shot right after landing at Southwest — so you know exactly where you're going before you even grab your bag.

Step-By-Step: Walking Directions from LAX to Melody
These directions work whether you're coming off Southwest or any other terminal. Here's exactly how to do it:
🗺️ Your Walking Route
That's it. No app, no wait, no surge. Just a quick walk and you're rewarded with a cold beer, some wings, and a seat in one of LA's most iconic neighborhood bars. Free parking too, if you're meeting someone who's driving.
Why Walk to Melody After Your Flight?
Melody Bar & Grill has been a Westchester institution since 1952 — first as a prominent steakhouse, then a beloved sports bar known as an industry hangout for Lakers and Kings players. Today, under owners Christian Warren and Bobby Hughes, Melody keeps that same nostalgic midcentury energy while showing every major game on multiple big screens, pouring a full bar, and serving up serious food.
We've got your wings, nachos, sliders, tacos, burgers, and cocktails — plus an extensive vegan & plant-based menu if that's your thing. And if you time it right, Happy Hour runs every day from 3–6pm with $8 well drinks and $1 off all draft beers. That post-flight drink just got a lot more affordable.
We're also the ideal stop if you're heading to a game at SoFi Stadium or Intuit Dome — just a short ride away. Catch the pregame buzz at Melody, then head over. Or skip the stadium entirely and watch on our big screens with no cover charge and a full menu in front of you.
All Your LA Sports, All On Screen
Whether it's the Dodgers, Lakers, Clippers, Rams, Chargers, or FIFA World Cup 2026 — we've got every game live across multiple screens including our outdoor patio. Melody is the kind of place where you can watch the game, stay for the next one, and not feel rushed out. Come as you are, right off the plane.
