50 Best Craft Breweries near Hawthorne

“Great date night atmosphere! Great selection of beers! Lots of tables inside and outside.“

“Went here during an Oktoberfest celebration and was a great space. Even though it was crowded was still plenty of room and was able to find parking in their lot. Fast service and good selection of beers. Definitely want to go back when it’s a little more casual but was very excited to have the first experience be during Oktoberfest.“

“Great local brewery that really focuses on the beer. So much better since they expanded the outside seating. Great food trucks/stands that come in, friendly staff. A bit “hop” heavy selection if that’s your brew, would like to see more lagers, ales etc but doesn’t take away from a 5 star review“

“Enjoyed some yummy burritos & quesadillas while getting some drinks (horchata for the kidlets).

Kid-friendliness: Kid-friendly until 7:30pm (and very polite with a reminder from security to be sure we knew they become 21+ after that time).“

Great beer cool merchandise family and dog friendly very welcoming place. We had a blast lots of seating and people actually invited us to join them.

“Best brewery in California by far! JUST GO!“

“Good range of beers on tap“

“Johnny and Jorge made us feel like family. Great beers. Nice vibe to complement the vibe at the HB location. Now I have another amazing l place to go when in town. Love from Littleton Colorado!“

“Creature Comforts is a fantastic brewery in the Fashion District near DTLA. From day one, the Tom and Jacob have made my wife and me feel at home, always greeting us by name. The regulars are lively, and the beer tenders are both knowledgeable and attentive.

If you visit, don't miss the Tropicalia, Double Koko Bunni, and Bibo—my personal favorites. My wife swears by the Athena.

The brewery offers a great vibe with board games, art shows, and delicious pizza from the neighboring restaurant that pairs perfectly with their beer. Highly recommend checking it out!“

“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“

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“Phil and Morgan were genuinely awesome!🍻“

“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“

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

“Good food and good ambiance! We arrived early and it was pretty empty but started to get busy by the time we left. I had the pork taco and steak taco. The pork one was delicious!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

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

“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“

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

“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!“

“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.“

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

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

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

“Great service and welcoming environment. ample parking and seating both indoors and out. amazing selection of both beers and ciders on tap. my only major issue is the removal of the tip system to a forced service charge (mandatory tip) system of 18%. we ordered a single flight and a pint at the bar ourselves, no table service or any real interaction yet a tip was fourced upon us on the bill.“

“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!“

“Fun place , great staff , love the decor and of course awesome Kombucha 😋“

“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.“

“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!“

“Brewery on site 🍻 special Brunch 12-4, and in an iconic Westwood landmark building“

“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!“

“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“

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