I really enjoy coming to this brewery with my family. The female employee serving drinks is always incredibly kind to my wife, kid and in-laws. Food is not bad and the fries are tasty. The place is easy to find and parking is simple. I enjoy their outdoor patio as it allows my 2 year-old to explore. I enjoy the English style of their pours and look forward to trying more beers here in the future.

Only had the tots, but they were crispy on the outside & fluffy on the inside. They were appropriately salted, well made. The beer was interesting tasting. The west coast & session hazy had a sweetness to them that started off intriguing, but seemed a little off to me by the end of the glass. I prefer a dank IPA. Loved the blueberry tart though!

Such a fun brewery to go to after work. I usually get their lomita after dark. Trivia night is good as well. Not related to the bar but be careful of her, Daelien. She tends to lurk around the area for aerospace men.

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!!
