50 Best Craft Breweries near Hawthorne

“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“

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).“

“This place checks all the boxes. If you live in the area I’m jealous. If you are visiting and want to visit a awesome place this is it. 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. Good selection of beer service was quick workers were friendly as well. They do food trucks we had bbq and it was really good. Place was clean including the bathrooms. We bought shirts and will definitely go back next time we go through LA.“

“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.“

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

“very cool place to visit- highly recommended! Must try the Cuban sandwich! The staff who took care of us (?Marta, Margarette, unsure) very kind and proficient. She did great answering my questions about the menu, and since we had not been here before even took the time to tell us about specials that were coming up and invite us to visit again soon. We enjoyed our visit very much..“

“Came in on a whim and ended up meeting the owner Chris who gave me a one in a million customer service experience I will never forget. This is before I tasted the beer which was delicious. Stylish wide open space with lots of fun things to do. They make fresh pizza on top of having food trucks regularly. Can’t wait to come back!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Phil and Morgan were genuinely awesome!🍻“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Amazing food, beertenders and beer! Great vibes and we’ve been going for 6 years now. Love it there.“

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

“A very good place to dine and enjoy many kind of beer from lager, pilsner, IPA, stout, and many more. Tasting menu is absolutely a must for first timer. Indoor and outdoor dining area with brewery inspired industrial ambience, Firestone walker brewing company is a place to visit for all beer connoisseurs.“

“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.

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

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“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!“

“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.“

“Great array of food options in a lively atmosphere“

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

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.“
