50 Best Craft Breweries near Gardena

“Hidden gem just off the 110 and Redondo Beach Blvd! Tucked away in a quiet business district, this friendly German brewery is a great surprise. Their Hefeweizen was my favorite—smooth, flavorful, and refreshing. They even had a chef grilling up delicious teriyaki curbside. A patio is coming soon, but the indoor vibe is already warm and welcoming.“

“I have driven by this place so many times but never actually stopped in. My wife was looking for a funky beer and we checked their availabile draft list online and saw a bunch of beers that fit the description. We were greeted by a friendly staff, ample seating inside and out, and a bbq food truck offering food options.

We got a few tastings of fruited beers including a fizzy white peach, apricot farmhouse style ale, and a plum saison style. They were all tart and delicious! We got a couple of pints to enjoy at the tasting room. I was also really impressed by their togo beer prices. Four packs were about $14-18 depending on style. This is pretty low for 4-packs in my experience. We'll def be checking it out again.“

“Newish local place. Big selection of craft brews“

“King Harbor has a great atmosphere to drink the BEST BEER IN TOWN! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“First time here -- Great spot! Love the layout, staff was super attentive, beer was good. They had a burger vendor out front making smash burgers, the football games were on with a large projection onto the wall. They have an area where kids can hang, shoot hoops, and play video games and board games. Best part for me was the Kambucha on tap! Definitely will be back“

“Tap selection can’t be beat. Staff is friendly. Great snack options in addition to other food options that might be available depending on the day and time. The bathrooms are clean. There are games galore. We happened upon them while in the area today, but would absolutely make the 80 mile trek back that way just to visit this brewery again.“

“Came for lunch during the week. Fairly busy (no wait) for a Tuesday, definitely some regulars coming through which is always good to see. Ordered the chicken sandwich on their special bread. Fries were good, cooked in clean oil. Overall meal and expeirence was good albeit nothing special. Local tap beers on the menu makes for a unique experience, ambiance and overall theme adds value and identity to Old Torrance. Plenty of parking on-site and free street parking is a plus.“

“Scholb premium ales has the best selection. They are dog friendly. corn hole, great music and TV makes this my first choice.“

“King Harbor has a great atmosphere to drink the BEST BEER IN TOWN! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“Love this place, this is my first time here at Cellador Ales and had an amazing experience. They make tasty amazing saison, wild ales and sours. The quality of their Ales production is high at the top ? I didn't expect that I'm gonna find a place makes this style of Ales at this level. Highly recommend and of course I'll be back soon. Thanks Santos for an amazing experience.“

“Cool spot. Loved the vibe. Owner and employees are very welcoming. Food is great too.“

“Truly is an F1 spot. Great beers, sound is on, couldn't ask for anything better when you can't make the race in person. Everything from the blonde to sours have great taste. Food options are close and whatever they have in the back (especially the BBQ) is tasty. Enjoy!“

“Smog City’s West Torrance taproom is the kind of place you end up coming back to again and again. It hits that rare sweet spot between a relaxed neighborhood hangout and a beer list that always keeps things interesting.

The menu has real range. Whether you’re into crisp lagers, hoppy IPAs, or rich, full-bodied stouts, there’s always something worth ordering. They rotate in new stuff regularly too, so you’re never stuck drinking the same thing twice.

But the real reason this place is a standout is the crew. The staff actually cares. They know the beer, they’re excited to talk about it, and they make the whole experience feel personal without trying too hard.

It’s the perfect place to catch up with a friend, bring your dog, or just reset after a long day. Smog City West feels like the kind of taproom every neighborhood should have, but most don’t.“

“We had a few beers there and loved it. Simple hidden gem in the Gundo on a not well traveled side street off grand ave. Not big, (6 big tables up front) but great beer for $8 or so. Also, a nice back area for more private gatherings.

“We are from denver and go to breweries new to us frequently. We tried 10 beer with the flights and loved all 10. That’s never happened before. Only complaint is that I wanted a rad sweatshirt you had but it was only in size s and 3X. Good thing you had 20+ other options in our size and we each got a way super cooler then average brewery tee shirt. You guys ate top notch. Hoping I can find the 805 here in denver. I know we have had the squeeze here prior to coming. We got to have two for squeezes on tap before we in Marina Del Ray“

“Oh, I love this little gem of a pizza place! Their crust is perfectly crispy yet chewy, loaded with fresh toppings that burst with flavour-like that Margherita with juicy tomatoes and silky mozzarella. The staff are so warm and welcoming, and the vibe? Pure magic. Five stars, hands down-I'm already craving my next slice!“

“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.“

“Salud, Enjoying Kershaws Wicked Curve.. Morgan Hill Ca.!!“

“Really great food + specials and we had such a fabulous waitress we shall be back!“

“Visited after an afternoon on the beach with our 2 year old. The kids area had a variety of toys to play with and crayons/markers/chalk to color with. Kiddo was happy to play while we enjoyed our drinks. The pizza menu looked appealing and it was nice to see kid friendly options available (Dino nuggets, tater tots) although the nuggets seemed expensive. Everything was very clean, the building was spacious with cozy furniture. Parking was easy right out front, and we had no problem bringing a stroller in. We had a very nice visit and would definitely return again!“

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

“Hands down, Smog City is the best beer and customer service in Bixby. A great chill spot to hang out. All their beer tenders are amazing, knowledgeable, and friendly. They take care of their customers, the other vendors, and treat everyone like their family. They have a large rotating selection of beer, with year round favs and seasonals.“

“Loved our first visit to Project Barley! The atmosphere was laid-back, friendly, and full of good vibes—the kind of place where you instantly feel at home. Huge shoutout to Zha for making us feel so welcomed and taken care of. It was our first time, but it’s definitely not our last. The beer selection? Top notch. Whether you’re into hoppy IPAs, smooth lagers, or something a little more adventurous, they’ve got something for every palate. Can’t wait to come back and try more!“

“If you're in Riviera Village in Redondo Beach, the Redondo Beach Brewing Company is a good choice for beer and comfort food.

A great selection of beer on tap and a good menu, if that's your thing you won't go wrong.“

“First time here and it did not disappoint! Mushroom pizza 10/10. Beers 10/10 especially the audio graph if you’re into ambers :)

Special shout out to Aaron for his awesome service! He was super helpful and knowledgeable, overall made the experience more enjoyable with good vibes. I could tell he cares about the craft and the customers! This place is great for catching up with friends, intimate 1:1 or even in bigger groups. I’ll be back!“

“Erika B did a great job at being attentive without being overbearing.
She gave me time to look at the menu and checked in to see when I was ready. I definitely took forever but she didn't make it seem like a problem. Great customer service“

“10/10 would come back here again for their late night happy hour which starts at 9PM, and it was on a SATURDAY. Their artichoke dip was so tasty, creamy, and had a slight spicy kick! The spring break cocktail was perrrrfectly balanced and tasted amazing. Waitress was super sweet, can't remember her name. Thank you!“

“Tremendous, upbeat staff. Very welcoming. Great variety of food and drink. Great vibe“

“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.“
