Dodger baseball is back, and the fans are gearing up for another epic opening day in L.A. 
The Los Angeles Dodgers will take on the San Francisco Giants on Thursday, March 29 at 4:08 p.m., and the fun starts at Philippe’s. Like previous years, Philippe’s will be a popular spot to eat and enjoy a few beers at before the game.
Fans can arrive at Philippe’s as early as 11 a.m. to enjoy some pre-game fun, including delicious French Dips, craft beer, giveaways and the chance to win two tickets to a future Dodger game.
The main festivities take place before the game, including two additional beer stations for quick fill-ups, but anyone cutting it close getting to the game can enjoy a French Dip after the game. Philippe’s is open until 10 p.m.
Philippe’s will raffle off four field level tickets, plus parking to the Dodgers vs. Marlins game on Wednesday, April 25. When fans arrive at the restaurant, they will have the opportunity to fill out a raffle ticket to enter the drawing. The winner will be drawn and announced the next day on Philippe’s social media feeds, and notified directly to arrange pick-up.
The restaurant is located less than two miles from Dodger stadium and directly across the street from Union Station where you can catch a ride on the Dodger Stadium Express bus. Service leaves Union Station every 5 – 10 minutes at Bus Bay 3 of the Patsaouras Transit Plaza. With a valid Dodger ticket, the ride is free on gameday.

Food is permitted from outside Dodger Stadium, so don’t forget a few French Dips for the road. The Dodgers websites says non-alcoholic beverages of 1-liter or less are permitted as well, just no cans, bottles or thermoses.
Philippe the Original is located at 1001 N. Alameda St. in Downtown L.A.
Experience the tradition and taste that makes Philippe’s a local favorite for over a century.
