“Great place. Wide variety of Craft Beer from local highly rated breweries such as Green Cheek (one of my favorites). Service from all staff on point, always willing to assist with beer related questions, if not too familiar with the craft life, Stephen is always helpful and pleasant. If you prefer something off beer, the sake margarita is a must.“
“Hubby and I usually go to the Van Nuys location but we’ve been anxiously awaiting for this one to open. It didn’t disappoint. Hubby had the Murrieta Milkshake and I had the Orange Shandy. Their Caesar salad and Hot Italian Pizza was delicious. So happy this one’s in our neighborhood. Hope they rock it out of the park!“
“The space is very cool and a great place to go with a group. The staff is cool, friendly and helpful. My only issue is most of the beer is just...not for me. They do have a few good ones but more often than not I've been underwhelmed by the beer. Overall solid place though if you don't care much about that.“
“I went to this brewery after work and met the love of my life! Jk jk but I had a really great time and the beer was very good. I’m not usually a beer drinker but I had two beers and they were very flavorful. The bathrooms were immaculate clean which I loved. The vibe was casual but also some people there for happy hour after work. I would go again!“
“Have driven by here many times from picking up my son from PCC and always like to try out different breweries came in and got a flight of beers there blackberry tangerine sour is so good and I'm not usually a fan of sours but this one was good“
“So I've been wanting to come since they've opened. Today finally got that chance. I loved the designs in the walls and the colors throughout. We got a flight of beers to try them out. Pale ale, IPA, sour, and sweet and spicy. They were really good. All the ladies there were so kind and helpful. We had a great time. They played great salsa and Latin vibes kind of music. Felt like I wasn't in Pasadena. The manager Martin was really cool and I loved that he's been experimenting with all kinds of fruits . The guava beer and the serrania were my favorite and both on point with the right amount of flavor. They also have food trucks out front. Check their IG for more info.“
“okaaaay sierra madre pop awwwwfff! bartendies are ????⛰️⛰️ so cozy. 1940s music. always a food truck. isn't freezing fkn cold inside like most places. generous amt of heaters out in the garden in the winter. easy street parking. dog friendly. straight out of stars hollow. gilmore girl gang rise up, this is your new hangout.“
“I did a 5k with #homeboy industries and walked by this place and decided to finish walk and came right back for breakfast. I shared a breakfast with my sister and we each had a Michilada. the food and beers were great! I will definitely come back on Friday after work for happy hour.“
“This has been always been one of my favorite bars in LA, but has gotten even better over the last few years with the new patio area. Great selection of beer, wine, kombucha, etc., solid bar food, and the staff is always helpful and willing to let you do a taste of something before ordering. Wanted to also chime in regarding H.R.'s one star review of the bar. We were outside that night as well, and her telling of events is hilariously untrue. She assaulted a patron, threatened a second patron, poured a beer on a third patron, and was finally asked to leave by staff. Her husband also threatened our table despite us not being a part of the kerfuffle she started with the people at the table next to us. It was definitely an eventful night, but the staff handled the situation well given how unruly she and her party were.“
“Tried their tropical Seltzer... Very good.Family friendly.You can have a few drinks Non Alcohol is also an option, catch a game or listen to their live/DJ music. Weekends you can enjoy food and music outside in the back. Check their schedule/Calendar on the wall for events and updates.“
“Best beers in Monrovia! Looks small when you first walk in, but it has a huge outdoor space in the back! Seems like they frequently host bands, food vendors, and pop ups. Definitely try their Mexican Lager and Icelandic White Ale! Great vibes, bartenders are very nice and knowledgeable too!“
“I was in the area after having tried Hop Secret beforehand, and thought i'd give this one a try as well since it was nearby. There weren't many people for a Thursday night, which I didn't mind. The beertender was nice and had a very friendly personality. She told us the story of how the brewery's name came to be, being as the owner studied geology. She made sure we were comfortable by checking on us often, asking if we'd like water, and even changed the channel to the Thursday Night Football game upon request. I'll definitely be back whenever I'm in the area.“
“Perfection. This tiny Monrovia brewery produces the world's premier beers. The sour crumble seasonals are world-class incredible. Their Starhazer IPA is immaculate. Help yourself to free, fresh popcorn. This place has it all! Go. See. Taste....N' don't forget to tip your tap professional.“
“Cool little brewing company with nice outdoor area complete with fire rings, heaters and benches & tables. Fun atmosphere at night with quick service and great beer & cider. Say hi to the bar cat who is super friendly and makes his rounds checking on guests. (Dog friendly bar as well) I don't think they serve food from the actual Benny Boy Brewery but they usually have outside vendors come in with delicious food.“
“Regularly like to frequent breweries that have Hazy IPAs and let me tell you that their Kikokiko Hazy IIPA is fire! It's up there with the great Hazy IPA breweries such as HPB and Monkish. Took a 4 pack of Kikokiko home and will definitely be back.“
“A brewery that’s a bit off the beaten path and totally worth checking out. Street parking only but we found a spot easily on a Saturday around 5pm. The whole setup is great with indoor and outdoor seating options. The food truck outside had great smash burgers and various loaded fries. The flights of beer are a lot of fun because of the library theme. I love that they have so many hazy IPAs! Really enjoyed this spot and look forward to going back!“
“It’s ironically a local brewery to where in life in Georgia, but this nice hipster style brewery with a good choice of beers (some exclusively only available in CA) and incredibly friendly staff…much better than the sports driven bars nearer to the Crypto. I believe it’s only recently opened, so I wish them all the best….I just wished I discovered it last week when I arrived and not on my last day in LA.“
“Boomtown Brewery is a craft beer lover's paradise! Their diverse selection of brews offers something for everyone, from hoppy IPAs to rich stouts. The industrial-chic atmosphere and friendly staff create the perfect setting for enjoying a pint with friends. Plus, the rotating food trucks outside add to the experience. Whether you're a beer aficionado or just looking for a cool spot to hang out, Boomtown Brewery is a must-visit destination in LA.“
“So we happened upon this lovely brewery! We stopped in and tend not to be huge IPA fans. I am VERY German and love my barely nutty beers! We tried over 13 of there beers. All pretty dang tasty even the IPA’s (and Ernesto is a double IPA which I generally push off on the hubby I drank it all myself and actually enjoyed it!!!). Everything is super palatable and drinkable. If there is a question, yes stop they have something for everyone!“
“I was in desperate need of a spot to post up and work for a while. Native Son came to mind and I couldn’t have chosen better. J could quickly sense my level of stress and set me up w a comfy spot w an outlet and wifi. He asked me what I liked for beer and his recs were spot on.Thanks for making a tricky afternoon a little brighter. I’ll be back and I hope others do too!“
“Eagle Rock Brewery may be the most under appreciated brewery in Los Angeles. It's located near a dead end not too far from Glendale, Los Feliz and the Griffith observatory.I went last week and had two of the most drinkable west coast IPA's I've had all year. While it doesn't the variety of El Segundo it more than makes up for it with the quality of its brews and cool populist vibes. Drink up guys!“
“I went to Beer Thug Brewing recently. I played a round of pinball on a Jurassic Park themed pinball machine. I thought the place looked decent, but it was a bit empty. There was a DJ playing music, but I thought the music was a bit too loud. I liked that there were music videos being streamed and projected on a wall. I liked that there was karaoke at one point.“
“We only had time for one beer which was too bad since there were 5-6 I wanted to try! We had an IPA and an apricot beer and both were good.The outdoor space is great and we liked sitting out there on a Saturday afternoon. There was a kids birthday party or two though so lots of 3-4 year olds running around (screaming). Might be what some people are looking for but for others it's a lot.“

“Visited Homage Brewing on a Thursday night.Ambience:I decided to head down over in order to get a feel for the type of environment Homage brewery presents and to try out the smashed burger. Since I’m seeking out different places to invite friends for nights out. As mentioned by other reviewers, yes this brewery is directed towards a hipster crowd. Homage Brewings interior is minimalistic and upon entering, the interior was lit with red lights complimented with a DJ bumping music. The employees were friendly and attentive, furthermore, food service was excellent. The cool thing about this place is that the exterior seating area serves as a place where one can hang out and relax, while downing a couple drinks. The interior (for weekends) serves as a platform to vibe with the music provided by the DJ.Food & Beverages:I was honestly surprised when I glanced over the beer menu, no flight option present. As a brewery, a flight option should be available, since it helps customers explore different products. I opted out, as I was driving ( and saving my appetite for when I return) but my partner had some wines which she enjoyed.I decided to order their smashed burger, which came with two Pattie’s, American cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles, everything sauce, and potato buns. The burger was good, as it was fresh, a good sized portion, and flavorful. There’s a review out there complaining about the Crispy farm potatoes fish scent, let me explain that the fish scent comes from the Mullet borttaga, a type of roe. Therefore, that review is not credible. The crispy potatoes were crunchy, well seasoned, and soft in the interior. A small dip of the horseradish sauce will be suffice. The food was good and hoping to try out other menu items in the future, in addition to their beers.“
“Definitely a cool place for everyone, family, friends, date, groups of any kind, all good. They have different assortment of foods to eat the brewery is good and wine to go With it. Plenty of room, tables and different areas to sit inside and out, they also have dessert and other things to offer. Great place, definitely worth the trip. You won't regret it.“
“Walked over here after eating at the BLVD Market. Man, I wish I knew about this place sooner because this would've been my only stop of the day! The beers are fantastic and refreshing and the place has tons of seating, games and they have sports on too.“
“So awesome to have their presence in Pasadena. The vibe there is chill & homey. The whole Del Mar Station kinda is. My sugg: grab a pizza to go from Luggage Room & take it to Stone to enjoy on the patio. Take some mosq. repellent. Pas is gett'n crazy w/ the mosquitoes!“
“Came here after lunch to check out this LA institution. Hidden in a small neighborhood next to the I5 and Dodger Stadium, we were glad we went. The brewery had a cool hipster vibe. There were several couples who brought their kids and some patrons had their dogs. The main serving bar is inside located in the original structure. We ordered inside then took our glasses outside to the patio area where everyone seemed to be hanging out and having a good time! We enjoy a lighter beer and ordered the "kinky". A blonde ale at 5.2%. It was pretty darn good but a little heavier than I usually like my blonde ales. We had a small taster of "Survey Says", a Mexican lager. It was ok but not as good as the "kinky". Frogtown serves food outside via a temp kitchen located under an awning. Overall a good experience for me.“
“Cool place! We were there for Sunday brunch on 3/17/24 celebrating a friend’s birthday, he got a free shot! We had the French toast, Brussels sprouts, Cauliflower fried wings, the Nashville hot chicken sandwich, all delicious! And the service was excellent! Definitely going back.“

“Me personally I am not a downtown fan, it's the same as london but smaller, but if you are in the area, I would highly recommend this place, it's amazing and cosy with a live atmosphere. Just east tp downtown sp out the way but close enough to go and unwind for a few hours.“
“Ive been coming to the Brewing Company for many years. Even before they began serving hard liquor, which started around 2002 or 2003..In the 25 years or so I've been coming, this places atmosphere, food & service have always been great imo.“
“I was in the area and was hungry after a workout, so I check it out.Customer service was cool and by the bartender, even though I got to self seat near the bar. I had the mixed organic salad with chicken and side salmon. This salad was probably one of the best salads I’ve had for its style.The chicken was tender and the salmon was cooked perfectly. An amazing protein packed after workout meal. I didn’t expect it to be that good but on my list for top salads of all time. Had that sweet and tangy taste coupled with the fresh greens. The proteins made it best.I’d definitely come back here again to try their other menu items.“
“This is one of my favorite locations! we have been here a few times and decided to sit at the bar this time and Beth was phenomenal! Her attitude was everything she made our experience the best one and we cant wait to go back!! If you go to this location look for Beth at the bar or wherever shes at!“
“We chose Golden Road for its vegan options. I ordered the vegan breakfast burrito and it was delicious! Made with Just Egg, vegan cheese, tater tots & avocado, I highly recommend it.The other order was a plant-based burger. The brioche bun was fresh and all together was made perfectly! Also highly recommended.“

“SERVICE & CHECKINCheckin was slow as molasses (so much paperwork) ontop of the long wait for a room to become available. When early checkin IS available it will cost you $50 (a bit excessive). Valet parking cost $10/night. There are also resort fees: $10/night. Tap payment wasn't available.Front desk is very lively, helpful, & also multilingual.Not pet friendly.LOBBY, ELEVATOR, CORRIDORSThe lobby is large but still felt congested due to some of the design decisions, orientation, & seating. Elevators were slower than expected but are sufficiently spacious, with multiple functional lifts. The corridors were ornate & have a very pleasing color pattern. ROOM (guest room & suite)We tried the double queen guest room & a suite.We found both configurations to be comfortably spacious, with a high degree of cleanliness & ample storage for our extended stay. The design of the rooms is generally just really impressive with a lot to appreciate: high-ceilings, a myriad of seating options, great natural+overhead lighting, floor-to-ceiling windows, clear views across the city, blackout curtains ergonomic workspaces, & plush hotel stock.Nothing I can think to complain about... BEDThe mattresses are more soft than firm, which I don't usually enjoy but the bedding was too good to protest. Soft, cozy, clean, & better than most brands with self-described "premium" bedding.One thing I didn't love was the choice of metal/aluminum base; just too noisy & atypical.BATHLavish & indulgent bathroom designs in guest rooms & suites, with some of the most impressive shower installations I've experienced in my last ~70 stays: high quality fixtures, tile, & accents all throughout.No pre-stocked shower sets but there's a plethora of Whish toiletries provided for your convenience. The bath robes are also with the hassle of requesting.Yet It's not without a few flaws: towels are on the smaller side, the water pressure is a bit weak, & the OSFA slippers did not fit me (size 11)TV & ENTERTAINMENT42" LG HD flatscreen on swivel base (guest room) or rotating entertainment center (suite).The entertainment setup in the suite was more fashionable than functional; not as accommodating as the guest room counterpart. Most of the built-in services didn't work & other integrations wouldn't connect. I wish they did less with the set top box because the apps are a hassle.WI-FI & CELL RECEPTIONComplimentary WiFi is unencrypted but performs very well! Solid for work & streaming. Verizon cell service was adequate & reliable in the building/area.--Nerd Stats--56-81 Mbps download 36-46 Mbps upload0% packet loss9 ms latency3 ms jitter--Performance--Video streaming - goodOnline gaming - averageVideo chatting - good FOOD & DRINKStarbucks is no longer on-property, which is disappointing but thankfully it's a DoorDash friendly location. Rooms are equipped with the status quo mini coffee bar & a medium mini fridge.There's a restaurant onsite but it's not particularly accommodating for multiple food allergies so we didn't partake in room service this time. If you're craving junk food, there's also a mini market in the lobby.NOISEThe sound proofing is solid. It doesn't completely dampen the city noise found in downtown LA (police, ambulance, etc) but it does a good enough job.LOCATIONLots of convenience stores & restaurants within walking distance.There's varying amounts of un-homed that roam in the vicinity but there's a consistent security presence nearby. VERDICTDespite the spa still being (indefinitely) closed, I enjoyed this property WAY more than I expected & extended my stay a number of times. It's a feature rich hotel with plenty of indulgences & I highly recommend it for your next staycation. 4.5/5 Room walkthrough videos:Guest Room: youtube.com/shorts/kfTIj…Suite: youtu.be/4yrpo3Of0uA?fea…“
“I ordered the Enlightened Ahi Salad and not only was it delicious, it was beautifully arranged! We also enjoyed their filet, which was perfectly cooked, and their asparagus was seasoned well. Great time, great food, I'll be back for sure!“
“I've been to this place a few times and what sets this brewery apart from others is the service. The owner is extremely nice and attentive. Beers are flavorful and set at a good price. I recommend this brewery over the other bar restaurant places on Main St.“
