Barbara's At the Brewery

This has always been one of my favorite places. I lived at The Brewery for over 20 years. I actually knew the original Barbara. I think she would be proud of the wonderful establishment this has become. Hats off to Ross, his amazing chefs, bartenders and staff. The drinks are stellar, as always but even better than before. The food has been elevated to a new level. Tonight they had an amazing Carnitas plate. The meat was unequivocally probably the best I’ve had in Los Angeles. Ross’ attention to detail and perfection is unmatched. This is world class dining in a very secret and a wonderful place. Thank you, thank you thank you.!

Went in for a drink to watch the Dodger game. Ended up celebrating with strangers when the dodgers came back against the Rockies. ?
The spot is hidden in the back but super cool to walk into a warehouse location and where the train used to pass through. Staff was very friendly and plenty of parking

This brewery makes for a great post-climb treat! Me and some coworkers came to hang out here after rock climbing at the Post which is a 3 min walk away.

You order at the bar and they give you a number to place at your table. They had a good variety of beers to choose from but I just got food.

I had the fries chicken sandwich. Value wise its just okay but the chicken was mostly breading. Each bite was juicy and flavorful though.

Can’t believe I didn’t know about this place!! True hidden gem. Unpretentious, cool, friendly, and really high quality food. Very pleasantly surprised by the excellent and huge beer selection too ?! Will return for sure.

Vegetarian options: Great option for vegetarians and vegans!

Dietary restrictions: Great vegan and gluten free options

Parking: So much parking!

Nice selection of beers, nice staff and great atmosphere created by the industrial look with some very cool pieces of art. I hope to return and try the food!

Terrible service. There were about 5 people in the entire place and none of the bar tenders even acknowledged us. The methy blonde lady completely ignored us and attended someone else who had just walked in when we were the only people at the bar for about 5 minutes. Considering the entire place was dead and depressing, you would think they would be a little nicer to customers. Save your time and money and go to Benny boy brewery down the street with much better service and nicer interior. I would never return to this place.

Staff was pretty rude, openly complaining about other customers in our presence. Food was tasteless and very greasy and took a long time to arrive even when it wasn’t busy at all. Overall, it could be a good place to hang out if these things were improved.
