Used to be nice a staff but wow times have changed. It’s now super corporate and rude. Ordered the flight and they said it’s now set and you have to have these four drinks. I explained that I definitely can’t have that drink it’s too much sugar, please no koolaid drink just remove it or swap it. They said they wouldn’t exchange it for anything and still poured it 🫠. I tried to explain I can’t drink that and can I please just get a free taster of something else. I explained I’m not trying to rip you off I get it is set just give me something else even smaller like a taster but they did not care and said “it’s set you have to take it.” So sadly I had to leave a full gross kool aid drink.

Always enjoy a beer a local brewery - there’s just something special about having a beer brewed onsite. Unfortunately, MacLeod’s seems to have largely shuttered its brewing operations and moved on to have a long list of guest beers. Huge bummer, especially if you were a cask ale fan.

It’s a shame - many know that there really aren’t a ton of breweries in the Valley, especially not in this area. Ultimately, there is a great selection of brewpubs/beer bars throughout the valley that have exceptional beers on tap. Would love to see MacLeod’s go back to what it was, but until then, pour one out for the good times.

Outstanding atmosphere, food, brews, and customer service. Parking is challenging however. I highly recommend taking Uber/Lyft for drop-off and pickup.

A local bar on a street with towing and car businesses. A hidden gem! Beer selection was good, food menu is delicious and a wide variety of pizzas, definitely try the birria pizza, not pictured is the bbq chicken! There’s also a ping pong and darts area in the back. It’s a great place for good beer and pizza!

The best part about this place Used to be that they had some pretty good beers. Now they only brew two or three and it feels like just a really diver beer bar with sub par pizza

Visited while out of town and I’m obsessed. The music, the outside, the VIBES. The beerrrrr. This place is on 10.

Great hidden gem! Must see for L.A. for folks! Highly recommend the Amber and the Nitro Vanilla Cream. Crazy good!

One of my favorite places in Van Nuys. It’s so cool. Especially if you love craft beer. The food is inexpensive and incredibly delicious.

Park in the neighborhood and walk or take an Uber because it is located in the middle of a bunch of tow yards and industrial complexes. Parking is impossible.

Located near Costco Van Nuys.

The Irish stout on nitro is an absolute must try, friendly bartenders, great great did I mention GREAT! Music, I'm not an anglophile, just a huge music fan and I've heard music here I haven't heard anywhere else except for a uk expatriate bar
