About Celebrities Sports Grill
The Verdict
Celebrities Sports Grill at 127 W 40th St in San Bernardino is a casual sports bar option in the Inland Empire. Since pricing, hours, and menu details are not readily available, it's difficult to commit a firm recommendation either way. If you're already in the north San Bernardino area and want a laid-back spot to watch a game, it's worth a visit on that basis alone. For a date night, however, you'll want to weigh it against alternatives with clearer offerings before booking.
What to Expect
Specific dish or drink recommendations are not possible. The address and venue name suggest a standard American sports bar format: screens, a grill menu, and a drinks list that likely covers the basics. For food enthusiasts seeking depth in their dining choices, that context matters. A sports grill in this zip code is unlikely to compete on craft cocktails or kitchen ambition with destination bars like Bar Leather Apron in Honolulu or Jewel of the South in New Orleans, but it's also not trying to. The draw here is proximity and accessibility, not culinary ambition.
Date Night Assessment
For a two-person evening, Celebrities Sports Grill is a reasonable low-pressure option if both parties enjoy a sports-bar atmosphere. The booking window is easy, walk-ins are almost certainly fine at a venue of this type, so you won't need to plan weeks ahead. That said, if atmosphere and food quality matter for your date, you'd be better served by checking our full San Bernardino bars guide or our full San Bernardino restaurants guide for venues with more established reputations. Locally, Dingers Sports Bar & Grill and Ye Olde Lamplighter are worth comparing before you commit.
Booking & Practical Details
A reservation system is not available for Celebrities Sports Grill. Given the venue type, walk-ins are the likely norm. Arrive without a booking and you should be fine, though weekend evenings around major sporting events may be busier. Check Google Maps for current hours before heading out. For broader planning in the area, see our San Bernardino hotels guide, wineries guide, and experiences guide.
Quick reference: Walk-in friendly, no reservation required, verify hours before visiting.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
Celebrities Sports Grill reads as a pragmatic, neighborhood sports bar that leans into reliability over novelty. It is a single-site, independent anchor for local regulars, a mid-market operation where draft beer and straightforward cocktails serve game-day crowds. The place is designed to deliver steady service and predictable food and drink options across packed nights: Saturday full houses and seasonal schedules. It intentionally avoids cocktail-forward affectation, favoring an unpretentious bar program and a team focused on speed and volume, which keeps the local base coming back.
Best For
This grill is best for groups who want an unfussy place to catch games and for locals seeking a dependable evening out. Celebrities Sports Grill offers kitchen output calibrated to groups and a drinks program built to sustain high-volume service, making it a natural pick for group dining, after-work meetups and weekend game nights. Regulars and visiting fans both benefit from the venue’s consistency: it’s tailored to communal viewing and socializing rather than intimate dates or cocktail-driven nights.
Ordering Tips
Expect a beer-forward, no-nonsense drinks lineup: draft beer anchors the list, the spirits back-bar covers the essentials, and a short cocktail selection is available for those who want it. The format prioritizes speed and volume, so order pints and shareable plates for groups to keep pace with game-time service. Don’t look here for technique-driven cocktails: the value proposition is dependable drafts, familiar mixed drinks and quick kitchen output calibrated to feed a full house.

How It Compares
Celebrities Sports Grill sits in a different tier from the craft-focused bars Pearl tracks nationally. Venues like Kumiko in Chicago or Julep in Houston offer documented cocktail programs, awards credentials, and a defined point of view: none of which applies here based on available data. If your priority is a deliberate, well-crafted drinks experience, those venues serve that need far better than a sports grill can.
Within San Bernardino itself, the honest comparison is between Celebrities Sports Grill, Dingers Sports Bar & Grill, and Ye Olde Lamplighter. All three operate in the casual neighbourhood bar segment. Ye Olde Lamplighter has the edge for atmosphere if you want something with a bit more character; Dingers is the closer competitor on the sports-bar format specifically.
For anyone visiting San Bernardino and weighing where to spend an evening, Superbueno in New York City shows what a genuinely ambitious bar program looks like as a point of reference. Celebrities Sports Grill isn't competing at that level, and that's fine: but know what you're choosing. If easy access, low commitment, and a game on the screen are your criteria, it delivers.
