"Los Angeles is known for its high concentration of sports teams and our new sports lounge will offer the perfect place to grab a beer and classic American food in a fun setting," said Franchise Owner Bobby Azinian. "With the exuberant dynamic of the Universal CityWalk surroundings, and the good times of Johnny Rockets, the Sports Lounge is quickly becoming a great hangout for locals and tourists alike."

"The original Johnny Rockets opened in Los Angeles in 1986, and we're excited to turn the page and launch new versions of our classic brand, like the sports lounge at CityWalk, just miles away from our original location," said CEO of Johnny Rockets, John Fuller. "We've come a long way in the past twenty-five years and we know guests will enjoy our fun family setting to take in a game or enjoy a meal while spending the day at Universal Studios."
