Dodger baseball and Philippe’s French Dips go together like peanuts and Cracker Jacks.
Baseball fanatics and those along for the ride will again be able to enjoy some opening day festivities at Philippe’s on Thursday, March 28, ahead of the Dodgers home opener versus the Arizona Diamond Backs at 1:10 p.m.
Opening day festivities will begin at 9 a.m. That morning only, last call for breakfast will also be at 9 a.m.
Like previous home openers, Philippe’s will be ready for the pre-game fans. Indie Brewery will be on-site pouring its Del Rey IPA and there’ll be plenty of free giveaways for all. Not only that, but a French Dip will satisfy any craving before heading to the stadium. An extra beer station with two options on tap will be open for those who want to enjoy a few without waiting in one of the carver lines.
Although the main festivities take place before the game, Philippe’s is still the spot to grab a drink or bite after the game. Pair a dip – beef, lamb, pork, turkey, ham or Pastrami – with your favorite side or beer; the restaurant is open daily until 10 p.m.
If you can’t wait for opening day to get into the Dodgers spirit, swing by the restaurant ahead of the Angels vs. Dodgers Freeway Series game at Dodger Stadium on Tuesday, March 26 at 7 p.m.
Philippe’s 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 website 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. For more info and to view the menu, visit www.philippes.com.
