46 Best Craft Breweries near South Gate

“I’ve had my eye on this place for over a year and finally open in October 2023! They gave us a tour and demonstration of the whole brewery! They give free tasters upon request to see which craft beer you’d like more. The craft beers are very smooth with their own unique flavors. There is a big emphasis on quality food and drinks.“

“This place was great! I love how intimate it is, but also how closesly attached it is to the other food spots at the BLVD Market. I went for some Galentines day fun with my girlfriends and they had a DJ, a full decorated corridor, and people buzzing around. Since it was near the holiday they offered wine deals, and of course holiday drinks. They were doing special pink margaritas, topped with a heart straw, candy heart stirrer, and of course a nice spicy and sweet rim. I was going to opt to just get one drink but the bartenders didn't want me to miss out on a good deal. They mentioned 2 magaritas for $16. We love a great deal, so I couldn't hold back from this. I am not in this area too often, but I know that when I am I will be back for a much hyped Michelada.“

“What can you say this place is a staple. Great art exhibited, seltzer for gf people. Great beer selections.Wish they had a cider!The food vendors are always set up and it looks tasty but no gf options.(Celiac - gf means no cross contamination).Always good music at a cool location.“

“I went to this brewery after work and met the love of my life! Jk jk but I had a really great time and the beer was very good. I’m not usually a beer drinker but I had two beers and they were very flavorful. The bathrooms were immaculate clean which I loved. The vibe was casual but also some people there for happy hour after work. I would go again!“

“A great group of people. Chester gave us a free pizza when our 2 year old knocked most of it off the table onto the floor (we didn’t even ask, he just walked over and offered). We’ve been plenty times before and will always recommend to friends to go visit.“

“Love the vibe at this place, and we always have great conversations, food, and love trying new local (and localish) beers. The Frito Pie is so good, and my new favorite is the Off the Vine salad! Thanks for creating an amazing space that I want to visit again and again!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Nice little small brewery tucked away in a small part of long beach. Parking isnt too bad if you come on a non busy day. I actually came on a Saturday and there was parking out back. Ordered the ddemon and red. Both were really good quality. Definitely a must to stop out.“

“It’s a small brewery but I loved the vibes! I went on Friday at 4 it’s was pretty empty the crowd started coming in at around 530 they had a burger spot selling food and the food was amazing!!! I recommend trying the watermelon seltzer or the Mexican candy one they were both really good :)“

“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.“

“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. ?“

“Best craft beers in Signal Hill. Love that they have more non IPAs than IPAs in their taps. My favorite beer was the Holly Blonde Ale. Crisp and refreshing. Ordered the margarita pizza and after coming back from indulging on pizza in Italy for 2 week, this margarita holds up.“

“The people are great. Beer is tasty with lots of choices. Nice to see dogs allowed. Will return with one of my pups. Food truck excellent! Heard a great band and will definitely return if Nico Marks is playing again. He needs to play longer though.“

“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“

“Best beer! Best service, best team hands down the best. I love this brewery so much, their team is very helpful, you can order pizza directly to your table from thunderbolt. Their beers are the best in town, arguably the best ever but that’s my personal opinion.“

“It’s ironically a local brewery to where in life in Georgia, but this nice hipster style brewery with a good choice of beers (some exclusively only available in CA) and incredibly friendly staff…much better than the sports driven bars nearer to the Crypto. I believe it’s only recently opened, so I wish them all the best….I just wished I discovered it last week when I arrived and not on my last day in LA.“

“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. .“

“So we happened upon this lovely brewery! We stopped in and tend not to be huge IPA fans. I am VERY German and love my barely nutty beers! We tried over 13 of there beers. All pretty dang tasty even the IPA’s (and Ernesto is a double IPA which I generally push off on the hubby I drank it all myself and actually enjoyed it!!!). Everything is super palatable and drinkable. If there is a question, yes stop they have something for everyone!“

“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.“

“Great place to drink some beers with your friends, but the taco stand "the bomb or something" ... too greasy won't recomend... better get some food from outside ... chips weight to burned out! The chili is watery! Nope... never again“

“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.“

“Cool little brewing company with nice outdoor area complete with fire rings, heaters and benches & tables. Fun atmosphere at night with quick service and great beer & cider. Say hi to the bar cat who is super friendly and makes his rounds checking on guests. (Dog friendly bar as well) I don't think they serve food from the actual Benny Boy Brewery but they usually have outside vendors come in with delicious food.“

“fyi to anybody planning on coming here the beer list is on the smaller side and the beer percentage is also on the lower side. i think the highest percent i saw was a 6% which in no way is a bad thing or a knock to them but we were looking for more options and stronger ones. other than that, the service was great and the waitress was very attentive. i'd visit in the future to try some of the food i saw on the menu which seems like this place is more of a date night so i'd be sure to visit under different circumstances. i'd also note that the restroom was extremely clean. lastly, the beer was good and there was really no complaints about this brewery.“

“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.“

“Boomtown Brewery is a craft beer lover's paradise! Their diverse selection of brews offers something for everyone, from hoppy IPAs to rich stouts. The industrial-chic atmosphere and friendly staff create the perfect setting for enjoying a pint with friends. Plus, the rotating food trucks outside add to the experience. Whether you're a beer aficionado or just looking for a cool spot to hang out, Boomtown Brewery is a must-visit destination in LA.“

“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.“

“I was in desperate need of a spot to post up and work for a while. Native Son came to mind and I couldn’t have chosen better. J could quickly sense my level of stress and set me up w a comfy spot w an outlet and wifi. He asked me what I liked for beer and his recs were spot on.Thanks for making a tricky afternoon a little brighter. I’ll be back and I hope others do too!“

“I went to Beer Thug Brewing recently. I played a round of pinball on a Jurassic Park themed pinball machine. I thought the place looked decent, but it was a bit empty. There was a DJ playing music, but I thought the music was a bit too loud. I liked that there were music videos being streamed and projected on a wall. I liked that there was karaoke at one point.“

“I didn't have any expectations going here, but they were all quickly exceeded! I loved how there were several different stands to get food from, including a dedicated bar area (I hate it when you have to order food at the bar).The food was all really fairly priced and so good! It paired well with the beer flight my partner and I got. There are many unique beers to have, and the bartender who served us was super cool and friendly.I definitely want to come back again! It was a vibe!“

“We have been coming since my last review and it's changed... still good... pizza got better, love the new selection of beer too... the bartenders are awesome; specifically Mercedes, Danielle and Nicole... we have never had a bad time there... wish they would have another booth maybe on the other side of the original booth but hey we still go either way... now that we know they have a high chair bcuz all this time we didn't know lol... there has never been a fight or disturbance since we have been going and that's 9 years... it's always chill which makes us feel safe for taking our two kids... they allowed us taking a cake for our daughter and stopped the music to sing happy birthday to her... that's awesome! We are thankful for them and the service they give!“

“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!“

“Service 4.5/5 Atmosphere 4.5/5 Overall 5/5 Homage Brewing is an excellent brewery to meet with your friends! They have both great beer and a solid natural wine selection. In comparison to other breweries in the surrounding area there is actually fantastic food served in-house. A lot of the breweries in the Chinatown and Arts District area do not have in-house food menu, and if they do the food is somewhat mediocre. But at Homage the drinks and food are delicious! On weekdays, Homage isn't as busy and is a great date night spot! The food comes out quick and the lines for drinks are much shorter. Definitely recommend date night at Homage!“

“Walked over here after eating at the BLVD Market. Man, I wish I knew about this place sooner because this would've been my only stop of the day! The beers are fantastic and refreshing and the place has tons of seating, games and they have sports on too.“

“The quality of the food was top-notch, and the service by Mariel was wonderful! I had the usual Wasabi Tuna Salad today and it was as delicious and as not-over-cooked as before, which is the reason I keep coming back: the consistent top-quality! I highly recommend this restaurant!“

“Good place to chill. This brewery has a family atmosphere. Kids are welcomed with a few games. Old school pinball and games.I recommend this place because it is clean. Seating maybe limited, they could add a few more seats to accommodate. Good drinks and prices are fair.“

“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“

“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! :)“

“Food and drinks were delicious! Got the cheese and margherita and a smattering of desserts. Minus two stars for it being freezing and for them selling me the wrong type of bread which was so sad because I really wanted to try the garlic and rosemary!! But plus one star because the guy was new and he tried to double check but I still ended up with the 'seed' bread. Almost but not quite as egregious as ordering chocolate chip and getting raisin oatmeal. Plus one star if you have a dog and you want to bring your pup everywhere with you, minus one star if you aren't a dog person... But I do feel like beer and dog people kinda go together.... Would go again! If only to try to get that garlic rosemary loaf.“

“Me personally I am not a downtown fan, it's the same as london but smaller, but if you are in the area, I would highly recommend this place, it's amazing and cosy with a live atmosphere. Just east tp downtown sp out the way but close enough to go and unwind for a few hours.“

“Ive been coming to the Brewing Company for many years. Even before they began serving hard liquor, which started around 2002 or 2003..In the 25 years or so I've been coming, this places atmosphere, food & service have always been great imo.“

“Finally found it after wandering around Grand Central Market (I came in from the Broadway side). Just tried the beers and looked at some merch. Have only had GR beers in can before, so I enjoyed having tap beers. Great beers as expected and staff is super friendly and helpful. Prices are very good especially compared to other brewer and especially when compared to other places to drink in the area! Most important: the beers tasted good!“

“I was in the area and was hungry after a workout, so I check it out.Customer service was cool and by the bartender, even though I got to self seat near the bar. I had the mixed organic salad with chicken and side salmon. This salad was probably one of the best salads I’ve had for its style.The chicken was tender and the salmon was cooked perfectly. An amazing protein packed after workout meal. I didn’t expect it to be that good but on my list for top salads of all time. Had that sweet and tangy taste coupled with the fresh greens. The proteins made it best.I’d definitely come back here again to try their other menu items.“

“We had baby back ribs .Delish!!!My son had a hamburger with bacon ,avacado,aoli sauce he enjoyed it. My mom had a surf n turf it lacked flavor but Manager made it right by bringing out a plate baby back ribs full meal to replace surf n turf. Mom was very happy after that. Great customer service. Our waitress was prompt and very niice. We will be back again.“

“This place is very chill to watch any sports , the food is great . THE ONLY COMPLAINT I HAVE IS THAT A WAITER TRIED TO BE SLICK AND GIVE ME THE WRONG CHANGE. ( I guess she thought I was to drunk to notice ) It was a female with black hair and a flower tattoo on her left front shoulder. I don’t think that was ok if you go there to drink and have a good time just make sure you keep count on what you get and get charged correctly .“

“The hotel is top notch. The suites are spacious, clean, and high class. They keep renovating and making everything nicer. The employees are super nice and the food at The Brewery was delicious. I love The Bicycle Casino! Always a great time.“
