Founded in 2011, MULA meets at O’Brien’s Irish Pub on Wilshire Blvd in Santa Monica for all United games. It’s a perfect location for a day at the beach following those games with ridiculously early kickoffs. O’Brien’s is open as early as 4 am to accommodate the Red Army faithful.
The Manchester United connection with Los Angeles is both interesting and varied. It started on the 1950 tour when Matt Busby’s side thrashed an LA select team 7-1 and then played out an equally dull 6-6 draw with Atlas of Mexico. Later, in the 1970’s George Best played for the LA Aztecs in the old NASL. The Belfast Boy even opened his own bar, just down the coast from Santa Monica in Hermosa Beach, called Besties. It’s now called The Underground and the owners insist that George still haunts the place (ask them about the mirror).
Back in Santa Monica you can drop by another United haunt that is one of the nation’s oldest British Pubs. Ye Olde Kings Head has seemingly been around since the old King was in power. From Eric Idle to Billy Idol, this famous pub has been the hangout of many British thespians and other Hollywood-loving ex-pats for decades.
Orange County occupies a large area south of Los Angeles and includes Laguna Beach, and the MUOC, It’s also the home of Disneyland, so you can expect things to get animated. The Red Army meets at Killarney’s Pub & Grill in Huntington Beach since they lost their old home, the Olde Ship in Santa Ana.
Red Devils have inhabited San Diego ever since the first settlers arrived in the Golden State. They started out watching football at the legendary Shakespeare Pub & Grille but didn’t become an official Manchester United supporters club until 2019. They have a great website where you can find out more about the club and join them for a match, if you feel so inclined, at one of their local haunts. You could be in Mexico by lunchtime.
