Angel City Brewery

It really is a brewery -- if beer isn't your thing, your only other options are Truly cans or water. There's two floors of seating, perfect for couples to large parties. There are board games scattered around, food outside, and I once stumbled upon an art sale. The bartenders are super friendly.

Cool place to hang out, with lots of seating options and games. Nice bartenders.
The beers:

Octoberfest (great)
Eastside Forster Festbier (very good)
White Nite (great)
Caramel Apple Gose (great)
Boysenberry Berliner (great)
Black Lager (excellent)

Unfortunately I am attempting to finish this review in 2024, long after visiting this establishment so I do not recall my visit here in crazy detail. But I remember it was a weekend night and somehow one of the few establishments still open at this late hour. Cool vibes. Had a beer or two though I can't recall which. And in my very trusted book of ratings, I know that I enjoyed this spot though something was lacking. What that is, I couldn't tell you. But happy to come back and try again

Fun brewery with a large selection of beers on tap. The brewery had around 20 different beers on tap and a wide variety of options. The venue was very large and had an upstairs and downstairs. Large gift shop in the middle of the downstairs. Bartenders provided quick service when ordering beer.

Great place to play games or enjoy conversation with friends or a date! There is usually a food truck outside but didn't have food. The bartenders work hard and so the lines go quickly.

At Angel City Brewery, you'll find great beer and even better vibes. It's the perfect spot to kick back and enjoy quality brews in a welcoming atmosphere.

I have had the pleasure of visiting this brewery on several occasions, and each time, I have been consistently impressed with the outstanding level of service and overall experience. I recently celebrated my birthday there, and the staff was incredibly kind and attentive. The manager, I believe her name is Lisa, was particularly accommodating and made sure that everything was ideal. I appreciate the lovely outdoor ambiance, and on the Truly side, the interior is remarkably vibrant and inviting. The food was quite enjoyable. We ordered wings, quesadillas, and fries, and everything was delicious. There is metered street parking or paid public parking nearby. Overall, this is a wonderful place to relax or socialize, and I will definitely be returning.

Ordering drinks is smooth and quick. Bathrooms are huge and clean. Various parking lots available but rates are over $30. They often play games on the screens and there is plenty of standing space

Angel City is always a great time, if you can stand the drive over to Little Tokyo / the Arts District. ;)

There's a Truly bar area off to the side, and a taco food truck right next to the brewery.

Yes, there's games to play while you're hanging out, having a brew.

I've always been pleased by the options and pricing here. Service is also quick, efficient, polite.

The people here are locals from all over LA. Lots of big groups, Dodgers fans, and more.

Parking is such a pain around here... park anywhere and walk a bit.

Not only does Angel City Brewery offer a massive variety of brews to choose from, it offers distinct flavors that make it hard to forget -- looking at you, Srirachalada & Avocado Ale. Because of these eclectic flavors, I'd return just to see what else Angel City has to offer. Unfortunately, they DO NOT offer beer flights.

Angel City provides ample seating, both indoors (2 stories) and out, and is dog friendly! If you're a patron of the arts, they also sell local artwork adorning the space.

CONS: Just like the rest of the businesses in the district arts area, parking feels/is a scam. Be prepared to pay for parking (seriously, the parking ticket isn't worth it). Since this is in a warehouse, there is no air-conditioning, be prepared to sweat!

Huge brewery with lots of seating. Great selection and huge variety of beers to choose from. Service was on the slower side but was fine, assuming some people just take longer choosing their beers.

I got a sour flight and my partner got a light lager flight. Surprisingly, I enjoyed the darkest sour compared to the other sours on my flight.

Would definitely return in the future!
