12 Best Brewpubs near Santa Monica

“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.“

“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!“

“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).“

“Menu looked great. Walked in and was skeptical. The brisket eggrolls were the best appetizer anyone in our group has ever had. Mezcal drink was excellent. Poke nachos - top….nach :) And the bartender ran the entire bar & restaurant solo. Impressive stuff!“

“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“

“Great food, atmosphere and service, highly Recommend!“

“What beverage, brewed since ancient times, is made from hops and grains? Find out at Duff Beer Gardens. The vibe here is nice especially around sunset. It’s a great spot to take a break and enjoy a crisp Duff beer.

The beer is solid, though seating can be tough to find during busy times. I really like the episode clips they play on TVs. It’s easy to end up sitting there longer than planned watching old scenes and getting hit with that wave of nostalgia.“

“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! 🍻🍕“

“Great ambiance and still an (new) Independent, definitely worth a visit... � very friendly staff and great brew“

“Such a Phenomenal Spot!! The atmosphere is amazing; the whole concept with the beer/wine is brilliant and well-executed. The food is delicious and has a wide variety of choices on the menu (perfect for everyone). Very reasonable pricing (very inexpensive especially for the quality). Literally everything you could want or think of is here -- there's even board/card games. Events are hosted! Wish it was closer to me because we would come every weekend! 10/10 RECOMMEND!“
