“Found this place walking around the beach. It was perfect for a sunny Sunday afternoon drink. It's in a perfect location for people watching - the waterfront location. My husband loved the beer selection. I just wish they had a seltzer. I had the Guava Lava, which was delish and not too sweet!“
“Unfortunately this brewery and its locations in Redondo Beach are all closing at the end of the year. Place was packed yesterday with ppl buying beer like crazy. Once the inventory runs out that's it. Too bad had alot of good beer here. Get there while you can“
“I have dined here for almost 10 years or so, and I come here often for a good reason, so I sincerely wish I could rate this 5 stars. The atmosphere is fun and it's a good place to sit down, relax, and have a good time (in terms of going to a restaurant). The food is generally good but almost every time I order the nachos and explicitly ask them for no jalapenos and peppers, they put them on, as they seem to forget the exact order when it gets to the kitchen. I have had to send food back, and while I do not want to be a pest, I keep having to death with this issue and have gotten frustrated. On a more positive note, when I order other foods, they usually come out pretty good, especially for a non-formal bar. I recommend the house salad and the Chicken Fingers. If you want something less casual, this place might not be the best dining options. I am 90% sure there are less casual options, though.Parking: Depends on the day. Sometimes incredibly easy to find parking, and other days nearly impossible.Kid-friendliness: Despite being a bar, it is surprisingly kid friendly.“
“Found this place while in the neighborhood and I'm glad I did. The owners were so nice and welcoming. This family owned business feels very warm. My sister and I really enjoyed talking to the owners. Awesome personalities and awesome service. Great space and location. Recommended .“
“Just had some beers here, but what a great place. Stopped in for some beers after doing some biking along the beach. Microbrew places can be hit or miss, and this place was fabulous. The beers were great. IPAs as well as a wheat beer with a hint of tangerine zest. The servers (TJ & Steven) were awesome. They made us feel right at home and took great care of us. Top notch service. And they offer outdoor seating along the sidewalk. Inside had a cool vibe as well. Definite place to return on future visit to LA area. Great Job guys!“
“I hosted my birthday at SoCal Vibes this past weekend and really can't say enough good things about the experience. The food was delicious, the drinks were great, and the staff (Aerin, Spencer, Emma, and Maya) were all so helpful and accommodating. It sounds like a cliche given the name, but the energy of the space and the employees is exactly what'd you hope for when you think of the phrase "SoCal Vibes."On top of all that, the cost for the birthday was less than half of what a few other comparable bar/restaurants in the Venice/SM area were quoting me. That's not a knock on the other places, SCV is just very reasonably priced if you're looking to host a large group. Highly recommend anyone reading this consider SoCal Vibes whether you're planning an event or just need somewhere to unwind on the west side.“
“The pizza was about average. The beer was good. The prices are more than I can afford but I was there on my birthday so I didn't have to pay lol. The workers were friendly and the place wasn't too busy. I would recommend it if you Don't mind spending about $4 a slice of pizza.“
“Good vibes! Flight is a great deal at 10 bucks for five pours. My favorites were lavender lace, bee keeper, and liv aloha. Bartender was awesome and super friendly. One of my favorite breweries in the area and I will be back.Also on a Friday they are open until 10 despite what it says on Yelp! Happy they were open for karaoke night. My only critique is don't let people fill up their own personal water bottle on the community water spout...with covid raging and all.“

“This brewery has great vibes and tasty beers. I usually get the Wandering Abroad, which is their fruit - cranberry sour. I'm a huge fan of sours and I'm always happy to see that they have a bit of selection of sours whenever I go! I recommend sitting in the outside area. There's an area to play cornhole, and there's usually a food truck to get some food from.“
“Great service the place is huge. The micheladas are really good ? there was a lunch truck I got the grilled Salmon plate it was so good and a great portion. Another lunch truck pulled up later with fresh Pasta meals we got mozzarella sticks and a meat ball sandwich that was fire.? missed pics of that plate.“
“My favorite brewery here in Hawthorne. Staff is always great and friendly. Love their events too. Yeah parking isn't the greatest, but there's plenty nearby. Common Space and LA Ale works have parking issues too sometimes. Just waiting for them to bring back coffee on tap - it was delicious!“
“Delicious beer in a secluded, off the beaten path spot. I forget her name but the woman behind the bar was incredible: she made me feel welcome and gave me great suggestions for brews. We even talked about the LA craft brewery scene. Shout out to her!“
“Smog City Brewing Co. is one of the best breweries I've been to in the LA Metro! They have a nice taproom space that expands outdoors, they have TV's playing whatever major game is going on that night, and the beer is top notch. My group thoroughly enjoyed the Tuna Thai Thai Belgian Blonde w/ Prickly Pear,Coffee Porter, Snuggly Bug Sour, Hoppy New Year Spruce Tip IPA and Unyielding Haze IPA! The Portuguese, Spanish and Mexican fusion taco stand was also amazing, and we came back for seconds! Some of the best tacos we've had in a long time! The prices for the beer here were also below market average which was a nice change of pace, especially since everything was delicious. 5/5 would highly recommend stopping in!“
“we love this place! The atmosphere is fun with chill vibes. Huge space. They have dozens of pin ball games, old school pac man, jumbo Jenga, comfy couches.. dogs are allowed/Kid friendly.. There’s always a nice mix of people when I’ve been, plus the guy that works weekend nights is nice eye candy ? I think his name is James.excited to get our group together for their trivia nights, starting this Tuesday.Besides all that they have really good beer! Surprisingly, my favorite during our last visit was this earl grey tea beer. I forgot the name but definitely worth a try!The only con I can say is they need better lighting on their business signs on Del Amo Blvd. especially with it getting darker earlier, it’s hard to see where they are, kinda hidden. Unless you’ve been before, you’d have no idea it was there once the sun goes down. A few lights at the entrance would probably go a long way for business.All in all, solid establishment. ?“
“I wish I could drink here everyday. They make the best ipas in the world. Staff is always chill and helpful. Been to both locations and you get the same service. Been drinking monkish for 8 years now and finally got to visit the Brewery the past 2 years. Cheers“
“Cellador has long been a top-rated brewery amongst beer fans/snobs, but their niche is very particular: They produce barrel-fermented sour beers, so if you're looking for a hard seltzer, Czech pilsner, or triple imperial pastry stout, this isn't the brewery for that. Cellador's current location on Del Amo Boulevard in Torrance is not a taproom; there's no place to drink here. To be honest, it's barely even a sales location. From the large Smog City Brewing logo on the wall, one can likely surmise they are using capacity at a Smog City facility ― especially since Smog City's brewery and taproom are right across the parking lot. (That, and the first person who helped me here I later spotted worked at said taproom.) The owner came and spoke with me, and was very patient even as I admitted that I am not a big fan of sour beers and that I had not warmed well to one of Cellador's I had recently tried. Nonetheless, I did find something to purchase: a Lichtenhainer, a rare type of beer that has a lactic fermentation where the malt is smoked, so it's both smoky and sour. (It's an acquired taste, to be sure, but I love smoked beers.) While their style may not be my thing, I respect Cellador's devotion to their craft, and the owner is a really nice guy, too. I wish them the best, and while they may not be in my beer strike zone, I'll keep trying them to see what they're doing.“
“This brewery is so well hidden you'd never know it was there. Thankfully I'm always looking for new breweries to go to and this one I've had circled for a minute. I finally got a chance to go and at first sight the menu wasn't too impressive to my tastes. However, I do enjoy a good Hef and that's what I got. It was hands down one of the best beers I've ever tasted. I enjoy tasting new beers, I hardly ever stick with one beer and have it over and over again. But this Hef, I could picture myself doing that, it was so refreshing. The carbonation was on point and the flavor was outstanding. I also tried the hoppy Pilsner and I'm not a fan of strong hops. I do however enjoy the smell of hops and that beer smelled very hoppy but it didn't taste hoppy. It was magnificent. I really enjoyed my visit here. The taproom was very clean and it was a nice space. The service was outstanding. The bartender was very friendly and knowledgable. I'll definitely be coming back here. .“

“I found out about Common Space Brewery through a spooky market they were hosting and though I'm not much of a beer drinker I do love some spook...needless to say I headed to Commom Space. Right off the bat I love they have their own parking lot...major points for that. I also love the whole indoor/outdoor vibe of the brewery. Picnic tables outside and high tops inside. No worries about finding a place to plop here. Now the event I went to also had vegan food vendors...trucks right in their parking lot so I was able to grab some yummy vegan grub before I hit the spooky vendors. But...before I hit the vendors I had to grab myself some beer right? So as a non beer drinker I was looking for something maybe sweet and it just so happened they had this Sunrise drink that was beer, grenadine and I forget what else....maybe pineapple. I know sounds kind of sketch but baby...it tasted so flipping good! Almost like a Mai Tai. As I was walking away with my drink several people stopped to ask what I had ordered and then I spotted them walking around the event with the drink. Ayyyy...I started a trend. Anyways I hit the vendors, made some purchases and then grabbed a table, chilled and then eventually went up for another one of those Sunrise drinks cuz why not right?All in all it was a fun time in a cool space. I had such a great time I've gone back for a few other events.Now Common Space is about 30 or 40 minutes from me but definitely worth the trek. Highly recommend.“
“Nice little neighborhood brewery with a mini parking lot and plenty of street parking. The beertender was a nice guy and gave my husband a couple of splashes to help him decide which beer to choose. Looks like they are set up for some game playing a small stage for live music. Kind of quiet when we went on a Saturday afternoon. Seems like a great place for guys to get together.“

“I've been here many times but never posted a review or any pics. They have a large assortment of tasty beers. Today, I had their 805 blonde with the 805 smash burger & fries. It was yum yum yum delicioso. They have a huge location inside and out with plenty of places to sit. Their service is top-notch. Stop by if you are ever in the area.“
“Great beer, service, and vibe! Checked out Absolution on Sunday and it was great. Head Brewer and beer tender were friendly and very informative. Enjoyed chatting with them about their current beer and future brews that are coming. Lots of TV's going with the Sunday NFL games on. Dog friendly and food truck on site. Micheladas are amazing! Loved the beer and peeps. We will be back.“
“In 2024 I decided to be better about supporting local businesses in my neighborhood. I was finally able to check out Three Weavers brewing & I'm glad more breweries are popping up in this area. They have a private lot which is always a plus. They have various food options depending on the day which seems to change weekly. The day I was there, they had an Korean taco style food truck. Seating was plentiful outside and a good amount inside. They had umbrellas but no heat lamp. The beers that I tried were all good. Service was ok, I think it could be improved as most of the breweries I've gone to in LA usually had above average service. I've become quite particular about service being a huge factor when it comes to repeat visits. Food/drinks have gotten so expensive in general, I want above par, extra friendly service. But overall it's a great place to grab a beer.“
“First time here on a Saturday night. Great beer selection, fast and friendly service, heaters outside, and really fun love music (that wasn't too loud). The food truck option was also good. We can't wait to go back! Only wish they had more to-go can options because we loved the beers.“
“El segundo brewing has an all around relaxing chill vibe to it. The interior colors with the hanging lights gives the place a nice open backyard feel to it. The service is good and the bartender had a good suggestion when I asked if they had anything similar to a Belgium or tripel style beer. He recommended the Break of Dawn Saison. Which I found to be a good suggestion. It was smooth and didn't overpower my pallet. Although I should've asked for water to get the previous beer's taste off of my tongue(my bad). I'll be going back since I regrettably forgot to take pictures while I was there.“
“All I can say is CITRUS SLAMMER so amazing. Both my husband and I favored that beer.We stopped by a second time just to have another. Also had their wings(really good), didn't have a long wait for our food, friendly and helpful staff, chill vibes talked to a few different folks and surprised that everyone there was so nice no snobs, overall a nice experience will definitely be back. Wish they sold the citrus slammer in the 4 packs!“
“Had a great meal with a group of friends here today. We had a group of about 30 with a bit of a classic car show before the meal.Restaurant staff were fantastic, food was too notch! I had a traditional fish and chips and they served it with a bottle of malt vinegar on the side. That's how it should be and I was impressed!The food was great, entire group orders taken and served quickly with no short cuts, everything was prepared properly and tasted great. Drinks were continually topped off and servers were a cheerful happy bunch.We were made to feel welcome and we enjoyed the whole experience.“
“Project Barley is one of my favorite hangs. My partner and I started going there for the open mics. They have great shows, trivia night, phenomenal beer and good vibes. We really enjoy the Hazy, lagers, abc stouts! We’ve only scratched the surface with the beer selection. Even if you are riding solo, you can belly up at the bar and meet some great people! Awesome bartenders. The food is so tasty too! Truffle fries, shrimp tacos, and plantain veggie burger are our faves!“
“The Boardroom is a new brewery that just opened a few blocks away from downtown. It's located in a former hangar where airplane wings were once built for the military which is kind of cool. They have both tables in the front and back and there's usually a food truck parked out back. In terms of the beer, everything I tried was solid. They just stick to the basics in terms of the styles, but they do them all well.“
“BEST TRIVIA SPOT!!! But seriously, our daughter has spent two birthdays at Smog City West for their trivia nights. She doesn't know any other way. Sam is the best beertender ever, and knows exactly what you want. They don't have food, but you can bring your own. Brittany is the best trivia host!! (Insert high fives).Board games? They've got em. Chalkboard hallway and chalk to draw? You betcha. Simpsons arcade game? D'oh! Yup! Oh, and don't forget about the free books outside next door at the tutoring place to go peruse in between rounds. Thanks for all the good times, Smog City!!“
“We were invited to spend an evening with friends at this spot in Gardena. We were pleasantly surprised at how easy it is to find parking either on the street or in the additional lot in the back. There's a patio area out front with plenty of seating and even a few party games ( Cornhole, Connect Four, etc) our party was seated near the door, and one of the several space heaters, which we appreciated more and more as the night went on It was Tuesday, and we took advantage of the Taco Tuesday special and there's also a deal for half/off Margaritas deal. Every one in our group tried a different drink, we were all pleasantly surprised. Being a cider house, that's what the hubby and I ordered. I had the 'Mexican Lollipop' a watermelon habanero cider which was the perfect amount of spice for me. May not be enough for others tho. The hubby got The Wipeout and Best Coast ciders, he enjoyed each one, the Wipeout just a bit more because it was less sweet and a bit more abv %We each got the tacos, I had the chicken, the hubby got the pork tacos. The tacos tasted great, street taco style. At $6 for three tacos, a good deal, although we were a bit hungry later.After a while the temperature dipped and we moved inside, which also has ample seating. Inside, the theme is SoCal beachy surf vibes. There's a few TV's if you want to see the games, the hubby got to catch the third quarter of the Lakers game! Four of us also played a round on the fooseball table there. Overall, we spent about 2.5 hrs there just hanging out, enjoying great drinks and food with good friends. A great spot to do just that. We'll be back soon“

“Chill local brewery, very very dog friendly. I found a spot at the bay window and commenced people watching and trying all their IPAs. Of the 6 they had on tap, the Southern was my favorite, but the blood orange session came a close second. I didn't get sloppy and kept it to 3oz pours while I read a chapter. You can conveniently order Pitfire pizza from your phone and they'll deliver to you. Even with a koozie and tip my bill was still under $20!“
“I love going to HopSaint when in the South Bay. The food and beer is great, and the staff is always friendly. I typically get the jambalaya with grits, but have tried several of the other menu items. I've enjoyed everything I had there.“
“Outdoor seating is great. Lots of beautiful West LA / South Bay types wandering by. Food is OK and service on the day wasn’t great but I’ll give them a pass cause they weren’t expecting another spectacular SoCal day in early February.“

“I held a birthday celebration/event at SoCal - Gardena, and I 1000% recommend this place! Aerin was extremely helpful via email, and very detailed. The booking process was so smooth and transparent. The team upon arrival/day of event, were extremely helpful, and considerate! My whole party was impressed with the service and location. I will definitely book a future event here again! Thank you, SoCal Vibes! :)“
“The food was awesome. We had the burger with split decision half fries half onion rings we also had the pretzel bites with cheese dipping sauce. So yummy.Kid-friendliness: We met the little league team there since we have been rained out of firat practice. It was so nice to get to know the families.“
“Great ambiance. The bartender was able to select the perfect beer for the description I gave him of what I was looking for. The food was outstanding. The people who run the place are great conversationalists and amazing beer makers. We loved our time hanging out there and will definitely be back.“
