Dodgers Opening Day
Watch Party
with Pantone 294
Hawthorne showed up. The Dodgers delivered. And The Greatest was the place to be for Opening Day.

There are bars that put a game on and call it a watch party. Then there is what happened at The Greatest on Opening Day. A packed house, a crowd that genuinely cared, a barbershop quartet kicking things off with a live rendition of “Take Me Out to the Ball Game,” and one of the best groups of Dodger fans in the area filling every seat from the bar to the covered patio. This was the real thing.
The night was hosted in partnership with Pantone 294, the Hawthorne Chapter — a local community of die-hard Dodger fans built around watch parties, exclusive events, merchandise, and the kind of experience that goes well beyond just catching a game. If you have not heard of Pantone 294 yet, you will. And this night was exactly what the chapter is about.
Before the first pitch, before the first beer hit the bar, a barbershop quartet walked in and filled the room with a live a cappella performance of “Take Me Out to the Ball Game.” An old-school, unexpected, completely fitting way to open the night. The crowd loved it. The kind of moment you do not plan for and cannot manufacture. It just happened because this is Hawthorne, and this is The Greatest.
Doors opened at 5:00 PM, the room filled fast, and by game time at 6:45 PM there was not a bad seat in the house. Wall-to-wall TVs inside and the full setup on the covered outdoor patio meant everyone had a great view, whether they were bellied up to the bar or out on the patio with a cold bucket in hand.
The Pantone 294 Hawthorne Chapter
If you were in the room that night, you felt the energy that Pantone 294 brings. The Hawthorne Chapter is a local extension of the Pantone 294 community, built for fans who live and breathe Dodger baseball, the city, and the culture. Members come together for watch parties, road trips, exclusive events, merchandise drops, and experiences that go well beyond a regular night at the bar.
Joining means becoming part of a trusted, organized network that takes the game seriously and takes care of its people. Passion, respect, and community are what the chapter is built on. The Opening Day party at The Greatest was a perfect example of what happens when that community shows up together.
“It is more than a ticket. It is an experience.“
