Great food with even greater ciders. Try the PB&J and the Piña SoCalada

We liked this brand and wanted to visit, however the bartender was very rude so we didn't order anything and left.

We were invited to spend an evening with friends at this spot in Gardena. We were pleasantly surprised at how easy it is to find parking either on the street or in the additional lot in the back. There's a patio area out front with plenty of seating and even a few party games ( Cornhole, Connect Four, etc) our party was seated near the door, and one of the several space heaters, which we appreciated more and more as the night went on It was Tuesday, and we took advantage of the Taco Tuesday special and there's also a deal for half/off Margaritas deal. Every one in our group tried a different drink, we were all pleasantly surprised. Being a cider house, that's what the hubby and I ordered. I had the 'Mexican Lollipop' a watermelon habanero cider which was the perfect amount of spice for me. May not be enough for others tho. The hubby got The Wipeout and Best Coast ciders, he enjoyed each one, the Wipeout just a bit more because it was less sweet and a bit more abv %We each got the tacos, I had the chicken, the hubby got the pork tacos. The tacos tasted great, street taco style. At $6 for three tacos, a good deal, although we were a bit hungry later.After a while the temperature dipped and we moved inside, which also has ample seating. Inside, the theme is SoCal beachy surf vibes. There's a few TV's if you want to see the games, the hubby got to catch the third quarter of the Lakers game! Four of us also played a round on the fooseball table there. Overall, we spent about 2.5 hrs there just hanging out, enjoying great drinks and food with good friends. A great spot to do just that. We'll be back soon

I love love love this place. It's so not easy to find a mead brewery. They are very generous with testing samples. Basically you can try all flavors they have before making decision (don't forget to leave a good tip :), it's a small business). I'll choose mead over beer any day.

5 star for the guy working today about 1:30 behind the bar. Polite, friendly and helpful as a first timer.3.5 star for the charcuterie board. Although the prosciutto was nice, there was no cheese and the presentation was lacking. It was the only item we ordered. 3 star for the outdoor patio. Perhaps it's due to the beer stained turf, but there was an excessive fly issue on the patio. Wasn't pleasant. I'm sure on a Saturday it goes under the radar. I was there on a Thursday afternoon when it wasn't busy at all and felt it could use some attention when there's a casual business brew to be had. May or may not return, but very fixable issues.

Been here a few times and enjoyed my time! One of the times was trivia night in which we won a couple of prizes- wasn’t expecting how generous they were all around. Another time was for taco Tuesdays- also a good deal. They even have jackfruit for vegetarians :) Servers are nice and crowd seems chill. I live close by so it’s nice to have this available for good foods, unique drinks, and fun games!

We went here for a gird night and had a blast. Many food items to choose from and the drink menu had so many great options it was hard to choose . But the staff there made it easy as you can try a sample of whatever it is you want to taste. The vibe is cool indoors and outside, where you will find a nice sized patio area . I have sent others here and they had good experiences as well.

I’ve been coming here over the last few years and have always been impressed by the quality of the drinks and food. One thing that troubled me this visit is the way that the cook Paul spoke with Emerson, a server. Paul took the liberty of yelling and even insulting Emerson within earshot of the customers. I don’t understand why Paul would ever think it is okay to speak that way to another human being, coworker, or otherwise. Management needs to set rules to prevent this type of culture from festering in their workplace. Otherwise I’d feel reluctant to support a space that regularly treats their workers the way Paul did to Emerson.

Ice cold beer. the coldest and the menu is first rate as far as microbreweries go

Julius Klein

Great selection of bears and ciders. Their watermelon and hot habanero cider is spectacular.

What a fun place to visit!! This place has got it all. Mead, beer, and cider. I got a flight of mead to share with my girlfriend as well as a cider. The service was prompt and our bartender was super chill. Pretty reasonable prices and delicious mead! Definitely would go back

The only time I'd be back to this spot is to buy bottles of the cider. The food options they have are so limited that I wasn't really able to eat anything which was not a good mix with all the alcohol. The outdoor area was comfortable but the couches were really dirty. Between the prices, the awkward staff, and lack of gluten free and vegan options I don't think I'll be back.
