Another go to of mine. Project Barley in general is fantastic. Love this place and the English touch to it. Great place to get a cask beer which is hard to find these days. Love the service and love the food.

I had a draught beer and the fish and chips. The beer was passable; about what I expect, from Project Barley. Shamefully, they were down to only two cask beers, on a Saturday night. Somebody needs to make sure that doesn't happen again. The fish was absolutely fabulous. Thick, heavy cuts, tasty breading, and cooked to perfection. Sadly, the chips were scraggly and overall disappointing. The tender, thick cut fries of Yorkshire Square were entirely superior. Lastly, the vibe was good, as always. The spot is comfortable, inside and out, the staff was great, and the live music was cool.

We were visiting town and looking for a dog friendly brewery to check out. We had been to the Project Barley at Redondo Pier and enjoyed their beers. I knew the pier wasn't dog friendly so we decided to visit this location. There was plenty of dog friendly places to sit. There was plenty of inside seating as well.

We had the wings and the chicken salad. The wings were so tasty, crispy, and sauced perfectly. We had a key lime sour and a ddh dipa. Overall a solid spot if you're in the area looking for good wings.

Four stars because they still haven't fully ended their cask ale program. The focus seems to have shifted away, however. They only have 3 cask beers on at any given time (per the bartender), and when I visited there were no pub bitter, mild, or porter options. Just two brown ales and a pale ale. Wine, cocktails, and draft beer dominate the board. Everything (except the cask beers, thankfully) was being served in disposable plastic cups, unfortunately. It's not a great way to enjoy a beer, even if you don't care about the environmental impact. Maybe it was related to the music event going on out front. I can't comment on any of the food because I'm a weirdo vegetarian and wasn't in the mood for a black bean burger or salad, but those two options exist if you are in the same boat.

I ordered and picked up fish and chips meal. So meaty, fries were so perfectly made. The fish was the star.star.star. Tatar sauce homemade but too much mustard. It’s not needed. I will be back for happy hour.

The tender explained the ipas to us and told us a cool story about how this iPa blend was created by a woman group of brewers. And I wondered why I bought it. I realized that she had shared the story about the pink iPa. And yes it was perfect.

Great beer and atmosphere

Relaxing atmosphere. Have steel tip dart boards, board games and indoor and outdoor seating with a fireplace.

Okay.. if you are coming to a brewery for food... well you must know that's got to be hit and miss. For me it's a miss.. better food in the neighborhood.. but overall a good time.. and the beer I had was great! A nice place to hang, enjoy some games or do the pup quiz!!

It’s hard to find cask ale these days and I can’t get enough of it. Project Barley Square features locally brewed cask ale on tap! Big shout out to the fish and chips to get the full English pub experience.

Excellent beers on tap, Cask ale or CO2 the choice is yours but certainly neither will dissappoint in this unique cozy and welcoming community brew pub. Kitchen is serving food! Not your average brewery as this place has character and a great variety of well crafted tasty beers. Lots of live music events.

I've been a regular at this location (when it was Yorkshire) and I tried to be open to the new management but it just didn't deliver. Our server was great and made our time enjoyable for a Friday afternoon enjoying some hand pulled pints. Unfortunately the new menu is lackluster for both the beer/drink selection and the food menu was overpriced but I can't speak to it since I didn't order any food, just tator tots. Good luck, I'll swing by again if the same server is there again.

HARD TIP DARTBOARDS ... Super chill vibe and relaxed energy. Like hanging out at a best buddies backyard. Everything in moderation, with casks that are reasonable, and no stress a magic potion elixir for everyone. ENJOY

Parking: Twelve dedicated spots, plenty of street parking.
