“🙂👍 Abel, Leo, and all the employees do a great job!“

“Another good meal at BJ's. Service today was reasonably fast and the food was great. I had the Jambalaya and my wife had the Spicy Peanut Chicken with Soba Noodles.

Both dishes were great.

Highly recommend the Chips & Guacamole Salsa appetizer.

As the trend continues, prices are noticeably higher. Expect to easily spend $75 for two. We would eat here more if it wasn't so expensive.“

“Super cool, super local and great beer. Loved Lars and The Audition“

“best pizza! great in-house bread“

“Great beers, courteous staff, and dog-friendly“

“We got a flight of various IPAs and the bacon pesto pizza. Holy smokes their pizza is amazing! Typically at breweries the food offering is not as good as the beer offering, but this place is on point with both! We will definitely come back and try the other pizzas on the menu and also enjoy the local beer. The service was great, can't say enough about this place.“

“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.“

“Si te gusta la cerveza artesanal,comida exquisita y el buen ambiente este es el mejor lugar. I had to try it all! Shrimp tacos are truly delicious and the salmon chicharrones are out of this world! Que Mejor que acompañarla con una buena cerveza artesanal hecha en el local! Lighter shade of brown is one of my favorite beers, you have to try them all!! So good! Thank you Brown Soul Brewing, there is definitely soul pour into it all🫶🏽 we’ll be back soon!“

“I came this past Sunday for complimentary yoga by Audri and it was even more amazing than I’d imagined! The class changed my whole day— and this place is a well kept secret. It’s so charming, and the people who run it are great. If you go, you’re likely to meet them too ?“

“Came across the on a walk back from Venice Beach. Highly recommend.“

“Had an amazing time during our visit to La Jara Brewery in Norwalk, their beer selection is amazing, the Anabelle and the Golden Girlz had to be our favorites. We started with the sampler to try them out first. But couldn't resist getting a couple of rounds. ?. Watsons Pizza and a Fish Taco vendors are onsite offering their amazing dishes that go well with the La Jara Brewing Beers.“

“Well…. I give the servers high marks and the food was good, but the kitchen was so slow! We hit the hour mark and were just about to walk out, and the server finally came with out food. Beer was ok. The server was nice and comped our beer and soda. Still y’all. An hour for food is too long.“

“LA’s greatest brewery and a lovely venue.“

“Great atmosphere, friendly and helpful folks working there. Great food and drinks.“

“The Beer is good! But the vibes and the staff are Top notch! It’s a great watering hole where you can bring the kids and your dog and enjoy some brews and live music or loteria night. My favorite thing about going here is seeing the “house” cat walking around and greeting people and making it known that this is her territory 😂 bring her some treats! see you there soon! Cheers! 🍻“

“It’s a pretty cool place, with a really good beer! I will definitely be back!!“

“awesome atmosphere good employees“

“Came here after the Dodgers game and ended up staying 2.5 hours! The ciders and beers were amazing, I drank the Pippin ciders, Pippin elderflower, and the Pippin brandy cider. All were so smooth and drinkable. There is tons of seating, great atmosphere, and an amazing pop up taco stand! This will definitely be a part of our new post game traditions now.“

“I would definitely recommend this place. The service was great and our host knew everything about the menu.

There was plenty of parking (on the street) and lots of seating options. This place has lots of room for big groups, but can still feel private for a date.

It is handicap accessible and has tables that are easy to reach and tasteful.

The beer menu was fun and they had a few spritzer, wine, and NA options.

There was a decent food menu too.

We went here on Thursday for lunch and had the place all to ourselves. That said, I could see this place filling up fast as soon as people punch out from work each day.“

“I came here during happy hour and got the Hard Agua Fresca and Minotaur. Both were good.There were a lot of beer options. You could sample the selections for $2-$3 each.They had a vendor there that sells food if anyone was hungry.The location was in an industrial area. There was available street parking.“

“Great place to enjoy life“

“I've been meaning to come here since they opened, but just made it for my first visit. It won't be my last. Trying their West Coast IPA, and it is delicious. Priced similar to other local brewers. Friendly enough.Parking can be a pain.“

“The mead is delicious! Burgers are pretty good too.“

“A local brewery in Los Angeles.
I grabbed a beer by myself at the counter.

Payment is of course cash-on-delivery, so just open the card with the tab.

The owner is friendly and has a nice atmosphere.
It's okay if you can't speak English very well.

I went there twice in a few days, and the second time there was a really bad smell, but I guess it's a charm.

We had a wonderful time.
thank you very much. Thank you for the meal.“

“Stirred, not shaken. For I am not a sissy boy, like James Bond.

Beachwood brews over 25 of their own beers, along with distilling their own rum, gin & vodka. Unfortunately, whiskey is not included. Once I arrived, I was dead set on an Elder Vesper. Created by Ian Fleming as the favorite cocktail for his titular character, James Bond. A boozy beverage, Bond took his "shaken, not stirred". Not me! Stirred, not shaken. Shaking dilutes the cocktail moreso than stirring. Give it to me stiff!

Elder Vesper-
Beachwood Vodka, Beachwood Citrus Gin, Lillet Blanc, St. Germain Elderflower, Beachwood Orange Bitters. Dry, strong & lovely, this was my first taste of a martini, and I highly enjoyed the bright & crisp cocktail.

Chi Chi-
Beachwood Vodka, Trader Vic's Macadamia Nut Liqueur, Pineapple Juice, Cream of Coconut, Lime Juice. Yikes! Too sweet! Akin to an ICEE/slushie, I was given half a Tiki mug of this blood sugar spiking concoction, and I'm thankful I only had that much to drink.

Beer Sample Flight-
I asked if could sample a beer or two, and was graciously provided a flight of four of their popular beers on tap. My favorite being the Gator.

Beachwood Wood-Fired House Bread w/ Whipped Ricotta-
48 hour fermented sourdough bread, baked to order and served with whipped ricotta, roasted garlic & soft herbs. Very good! The bread had a substantial pull to it. The whipped ricotta was heavenly, dolloped upon each tear of bread. Quite filling!

Gratitude the staff at Beachwood Brewing & Distilling. The hospitable service, expertly crafted cocktails & tantalizing eats afforded a fine evening experiencing a previously unventured culinary destination.“

“Great beer, great outdoor vibe with music on the weekend.“

“First time and last. My wife didn’t like the burger. Tried for a resolution. Manager treated her like crap. We left right then. Total crap-show food-wise.“

“I didn't have any expectations going here, but they were all quickly exceeded! I loved how there were several different stands to get food from, including a dedicated bar area (I hate it when you have to order food at the bar).The food was all really fairly priced and so good! It paired well with the beer flight my partner and I got. There are many unique beers to have, and the bartender who served us was super cool and friendly.I definitely want to come back again! It was a vibe!“

“1st time there... absolutely AWESOME food.“

“Customer service is paramount not only for me, but specially when I am around family. Our server Schaeffer is not only superv to Customer Service but has great personality that makes me feel truly welcome!“

“Great atmosphere and friendly people! Good Beer too!“

“Cool little brewery inside the Westin Bonaventure on the fourth floor by the pool. Pretty good happy hour prices and their beer was quite delicious. I enjoyed some steak skewers and my buddy crushed his fish tacos. I went with the strawberry blonde beer and my friend had the Mila IPA (named after the prettiest, and perhaps funniest, bartender I’ve ever been served by)“

“We love Long Beach Beer Lab, while the food menu is small it's always delicious, and they've got lots of great beer options as well as a few fun non-alcoholic options. They've also got pinball and Jenga. Always a nice time there!

Vegetarian options: The whole menu is vegetarian friendly there are no meat products

Parking: There is a lot of parking around back“

“Food & Fun in a bustling yet relaxed atmosphere.“

“Pacific standard was great, awesome service and staff. The perfect place to celebrate my birthday.“

“The hotel is top notch. The suites are spacious, clean, and high class. They keep renovating and making everything nicer. The employees are super nice and the food at The Brewery was delicious. I love The Bicycle Casino! Always a great time.“
