“Super cool, super local and great beer. Loved Lars and The Audition“

“My favorite brewery in the Pasadena area. They have the most delicious beer and such a great team. I don’t drink often but if I am going to indulge, I’m definitely treating myself to Ogopogo. I hope they never change!
They have food trucks on the weekends and trivia nights for all the nerds. Wish I lived just a smidge closer but that’s why it’s such a treat when I can spend and afternoon at this rad little brewery “

“I came this past Sunday for complimentary yoga by Audri and it was even more amazing than I’d imagined! The class changed my whole day— and this place is a well kept secret. It’s so charming, and the people who run it are great. If you go, you’re likely to meet them too ?“

The environment is cozy and inviting, making it a perfect place to relax. They are also extremely knowledgeable about their beer and go above and beyond to ensure you've tasted their selection. If you're in the area, you have to stop by. I can't say enough good things about this place.“

The way he shares his knowledge about the beers and their brewing process adds a personal touch that really enhances the experience. Whether you're a craft beer enthusiast or just looking for a chill spot to unwind, Ohana Brewing Co. hits the mark. The space is cozy, and the selection is varied enough to keep things interesting—whether you’re into hoppy IPAs, smooth stouts, or something in between.

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

“Just want to take a second and shout out Mt Lowe Brewery & Emily Lindley-Rodriguez. I hosted my 20 year high school reunion at the brewery and we had a blast! There is so much space at the brewery for multiple large groups to utilize the space. The beers are yummy and the whole experience is super easy! You can make your event super minimal or with the savings of booking at the brewery go all out on the other stuff!! Seriously! The value, the space and the vibe all fit the bill and I loved it as the host!

Great things about this venue: bring in your own food and vendors, they always have a food truck on sight, Emily is super kind and responsive and they have yard games you can borrow!

If you’re thinking of hosting an event at the Mt Lowe Brewery, then reach out! I would be happy to suggest how to handle it and things I learned! I especially can help you if you plan to do a ticketed event! Just want to help if you need it!

“🙂👍 Kelly and Kris do a great job!“

“Great place to enjoy life“

“I came here during happy hour and got the Hard Agua Fresca and Minotaur. Both were good.There were a lot of beer options. You could sample the selections for $2-$3 each.They had a vendor there that sells food if anyone was hungry.The location was in an industrial area. There was available street parking.“

“I would definitely recommend this place. The service was great and our host knew everything about the menu.

There was plenty of parking (on the street) and lots of seating options. This place has lots of room for big groups, but can still feel private for a date.

It is handicap accessible and has tables that are easy to reach and tasteful.

The beer menu was fun and they had a few spritzer, wine, and NA options.

There was a decent food menu too.

We went here on Thursday for lunch and had the place all to ourselves. That said, I could see this place filling up fast as soon as people punch out from work each day.“

“I did a 5k with #homeboy industries and walked by this place and decided to finish walk and came right back for breakfast. I shared a breakfast with my sister and we each had a Michilada. the food and beers were great! I will definitely come back on Friday after work for happy hour.“

“Been going here for years. Excellent beer. Excellent local hang. If you're local, get the annual membership in December. It pays for itself and has lots of fun perks.

Love the team over there. Shout out to Marco. Dude rocks.“

“I just got back from Benny Boy Brewing and it was pretty fun! This place gets the whole relaxed and fun atmosphere spot on. This is marketed as a brewery, cidery and backyard beer garden and it does it all justice. It feels like you have walked into the perfect place to just sit and have a good time with friends, to relax after a long day or just enjoy the magic of being under the stars.

Starting with the drinks, you can order a pint of beer straight from the tank, or if you prefer something different, you can order a cider from the barrel. I got both and they were spot on. The choice is vast and you can tell that they are passionate about what they are brewing here.

The pop-up vendors they’ve got coming through are pretty good. It’s a bring your friends kind of place whether you’ve got a small group or a full on party of 40. The space is huge, open, and for some reason, it feels like your own backyard, only better.

If you are in LA and looking for a place to sit, drink and just be, then look no further. It’s better to take an uber because the parking is pretty bad. It’s also not the nicest neighborhood and parking is limited.“

“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.“

“The food is amazing. Try the wings to share as an appetizer, so tasty without having to use a dipping sauce. Smash burgers are so juicy, fries were nice and crispy. Overall great first visit. A friend of mine too me for my birthday, had a great time 👍🏽“

“Great beer, great outdoor vibe with music on the weekend.“

“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.“

“It’s a chill place with medium sound levels, not loud enough to hurt, but loud enough to fill the space. It’s got a great seating arrangement with tables, booths, bar, patio, and outdoor seating.

On the menu is food (if you come early enough), great craft beers that are fresh with clean tap lines, wine, seltzers, and N/A options. Some of the beers can be a little on the flatter side (just a bit). The service is prompt and polite.

It’s good for groups of all sizes (I would call ahead just in case it’s busy) and solo people as solo patrons do visit also so you won’t feel too weird, although most are in groups“

“🙂👍 Jason does a great job!“

“Curbside pickup for me & my daughter“

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

“Cool little brewery inside the Westin Bonaventure on the fourth floor by the pool. Pretty good happy hour prices and their beer was quite delicious. I enjoyed some steak skewers and my buddy crushed his fish tacos. I went with the strawberry blonde beer and my friend had the Mila IPA (named after the prettiest, and perhaps funniest, bartender I’ve ever been served by)“

“Customer service is paramount not only for me, but specially when I am around family. Our server Schaeffer is not only superv to Customer Service but has great personality that makes me feel truly welcome!“

“Food & Fun in a bustling yet relaxed atmosphere.“

“My family and me visit this place when it was happy hour time mostly. We love there happy hour menu.They are dog friendly and has menu for them too. I don't do alcohol but husband love's their brewery too. Good place to hang out with friends and family. Every time I visit there is always an event happening.“

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