10 Best Breweries in Venice Beach

"When you really want to drink to the Dodgers but don’t want to spend $18 on a subpar stadium beer, this Chinatown taproom is where you go. The brewery is within walking distance of Dodger Stadium (though honestly, you’ll want to ride a bike or rideshare — we’ve got hills in this city!), making it a popular pre-game spot before ball games, but its spacious, friendly atmosphere and elevated small bar menu make it welcoming year-round. Though they’re best known for their dedication to IPAs — they execute both West Coast and hazy styles very well — don’t sleep on their funky, experimental saisons and farmhouse ales."

"Highland Park, Chinatown Originating with a brewing system tucked into the back of a neighborhood bar in Highland Park, HP Brewery’s expanded with a new brewpub that just took over a spacious repurposed warehouse on the outskirts of Chinatown. Combined with a constant slate of sessionable lagers and hoppy beers that are more complex than meets the eye, Highland Park Brewing is decidedly one of LA’s top flagship brands.Must-try beers: All IPAs, Refresh Lager, Lazy Susan"

"Highland Park Brewery’s Chinatown location is big, fun, and full of flavor. Beer heads come through for speciality pints made on-site, while locals and casual newcomers tend to stick around for a few more drinks thanks to the full kitchen on site, which turns out some deliciously snacky stuff late into the evening."

"You know Beachwood for its award-winning house beers, but the original location in Seal Beach got its start as one of the best craft beer bars in the country. Owner Gabe Gordon comes from a serious food background and is a self-proclaimed beer nerd who selfishly wanted to open a bar that served his own favorite beers, from Russian River to Cantillon. The concept expanded into Long Beach brewpub territory in 2012 and even though the list of Beachwood Brewing beers has grown crowded, the guest taps (and downtown beach vibes) consistently impress.How to order:  Order online"

"When you feel like elevating your beer game, head to Beachwood BBQ and Brewing, which was most recently named Best Brewpub in the World (at the World Beer Cup 2016). Located on the Promenade in Downtown, the brewery stocks dozens of its own award-winning beers along with guest taps that would make any beer bar weep. Around the corner, the Blendery is home to Beachwood’s funky, tart and fruited barrel-aging experiments; a more wine-like experience with a mellow tasting room to match."

"Address:2390 E Orangewood Ave, STE 100, Anaheim, CA 92806Phone:(714) 940-1772About: Widely considered to be San Diego’s first microbrewery, Karl Strauss (real person and master brewer) made its debut in 1989.

With reclaimed wood and exposed brick, the space has an industrial feel that includes garage doors which open to a large outdoor patio overlooking Angel Stadium."

"X marks the spot for pizza and beer at Brewery X’s Biergarten patio. Grab an entire Coney Island Sausage & Pepper pizza or a classic pepperoni slice. Wash them down with an IPA like the EZ Dozer, dark stout or even a hard seltzer."

"New to town, Modern Times Leisuretown is an eclectic, aquatic playground. Enjoy selections from the plant-based menu at one of the outdoor dining areas including poolside tables. Say cheers to the day with numerous Modern Times selections on tap."

"A post shared by Hannah Hedrick (@hahahedrick) on May 27, 2018 at 5:32pm PDT. Take a break at Jones Coffee Roasters, an inviting café in Pasadena, and rejuvenate yourself with a cup of coffee. This family-owned pleasant coffee house offering specialty coffee is a perfect retreat to rest your feet and sample quality coffee from the highlands of Guatemala."

"Kim Sun Kitchen, a Chinese and Cambodian spot in Long Beach, is another much-loved go-to, with 4.5 stars out of 111 Yelp reviews. Head over to 5449 Cherry Ave. to see for yourself."

"The scene at TAO Los Angeles is an extraordinary one from the moment you enter the massive restaurant. The first thing you see is the cocktail lounge, where a large reclining Buddha overlooks the proceedings. Stop there for the swirling, beautiful-people bar scene, or keep going to sit down and have an exemplary meal under the watchful eye of a massive 24-armed Quan Yin buddhist statue that changes color and design constantly."

"One of Hollywood’s favorite spots for a night out is bringing the night out to you!. Curbside pickup and delivery now available Wednesday through Sunday from 5-9pm. Preorder for your desired pickup date and time."

"Taking inspiration from a mix of Belgian beer and horror films, Carson’s Phantom Carriage opened in 2015. Since then, they’ve grown their name throughout the L.A. beer scene and across the country."

"All Season Brewing Company has a full bar including classic and craft cocktails, wine, and their house-made ginger beer. Entrenched in the historic midcentury modern Firestone tire shop in Miracle Mile, All-Season Brewing Co. is a drinking place committed to good beer, good times, and good folks. Established in 2021, they brew crushable beers in their glass-encased 15 barrel brewhouse."

"The newest brewery on the block is already making a name for itself in the Miracle Mile area. All Season Brewing Company is open daily for incredible craft beer, Chicas Tacos, and complete bar service. With an outdoor space that gives off the vibe of a 50's diner, there's no reason to not stop by and have a drink (or three) for the day."

"This brand new spot in the historic Firestone Building just opened with an outdoor patio, beer made on-site, and tacos available from Chicas Tacos."
