“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.“

“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).“

“Nice quiet place to relax“

“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“

“Had the great fortune of trying this Hazy IPA before meeting the owner Kelsey Grammer and watching him pull beer for a few hours. This beer is outstanding! it doesn't have that hoppy bite and has a refreshing citrus finish. Put simply? it's delicious. Looking forward to more amazing beers coming!!“

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

“It is great to see food trucks stop by periodically (usually on Fridays) so that people can enjoy some of the unique foods there. It is a simple walk from my workplace, so it is extremely convenient to get to. This is the rationale and basis for my review and rating of 5-stars on Google.“

“Friendly service and delicious beer.“

“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.“

“Love the Red Car find & Bob the owner. We stumbled across this place maybe 8 years ago & any time we are in area we will visit. Love the local vibe & friendliness on top of great beer & food. We do pizza on repeat! Can’t say enough about how friendly Bob & the staff are. Go see yourself!“

“Phil and Morgan were genuinely awesome!🍻“

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

“Had a lunch outting with my team & the pizza lunch special was a hit! 2 slices of pizza with a drink, under $14. I traded my special for a salad & glass of pinot, GREAT place for a beer, glass of wine, or just a good time! I had the chopped Italian salad, delish!“

“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.“

“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.“

“We’ve been a vendor at Native Son with Pizza House, and it’s a great LA spot to serve at. The team is helpful and easy to work with, and the atmosphere feels upbeat without being chaotic. Guests are engaged, the space is awesome, and it’s a fun place for a pop-up night. We’d happily come back anytime.“

“Such a great place with awesome beers, food and super friendly people. The owner took the time to come out and visit with us. Highly recommended. Had the brewberry blonde with some filet mignon fries. Thanks guys. Will definitely come back“

“Great spot with a solid vibe! They have a fantastic beer selection with plenty of variety to explore. The food is pretty good across the board—the fish tacos are tasty and the Neapolitan-style pizzas are a nice touch. While it’s not the most mind-blowing meal I’ve ever had, everything is well-made and the atmosphere is very pleasant. Perfect for a casual hang with friends on Washington! 🍻🍕“

“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.“

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

“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.

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

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

“Great restaurant with nice view and awesome vibe.

Located near Manhattan Beach Pier. It has indoor seating with large open windows to get that fresh ocean breeze. Service is warm and friendly.
Although it's a brewery and has multiple screens with different sports playing, they serve more than just pub food. Their menu offers lots of yummy options. Also note they have a good happy hour menu.

The grilled citrus salmon was excellent with just the right amount of crust. Not overcooked. It comes with salad and rice.

The spicy Chipotle chicken pasta was very flavorful. I really enjoyed it and world order it again next time.

The churro bites comes drizzled with caramel. It's warm and fluffy and it's gluten free. Definitely enjoyed it.

Prices are reasonable, portions are adequate.

Parking is a bit challenging in the area. If you can't find street meter parking, go to the underground structure or near city hall parking.

Reservations are recommended especially on weekends or if there's a sports event.“

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

“We searched the internet for the best breweries near LAX and Five Point Five Brewery did not disappoint. It was worthy of its 4.9 stars! The Hazy Daisy IPA was hoppy and delicious. We split our pizza. My husband had the GTX muscle car and I had the VW Bus!. The Detroit style pizza’s were fresh and the dough was perfection! Loved the warm and relaxed atmosphere. We will definitely visit again!“

“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.“

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

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

“Every thing is made from scratch, every few weeks, they have new specials and every thing is always so fresh and tasty, portions are ample, this is not bar food, so don’t let the name fool you. Happy Hour is excellent and service and cold beers is bonus!“

“Great array of food options in a lively atmosphere“

“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!“

“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.“

“I come to the Bonaventure Brewery once a year for a work trip and I absolutely enjoy the going to the brewery every single time! The boss and I stop by multiple times because we know the drinks, food, and service are amazing. Always surrounded by other interesting travelers from a variety of places and a great environment! Shout out to Rachel, Mila, and Noah! You don’t need to leave the property, food, drinks, pool access - go get it.“

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

“John Michael is fantastic, the best customer service.“
