    I grew uo in the 818 area,I had to stop here and check out the brewery and it's a gem great beer, I had the Valley girl (blond beer) my husband had The Jefe, both beers were great, got a few souvenirs amount beers to take home. I was gonna give them 4 stars because food ordered comes from next door and it's fried bar food, not a fan of it, but then saw that their dog friendly and that did it for me, and the great beer ....

    I don't come too often . I was surprised to see a pretty good hazy ipa ! We came on a Thursday night around 10pm. Found enough seating. Certain parts of the place is very loud. Parking can be tight on the lot. Service is positive.

    One of the better valley breweries. And they're advertised as a Dodgers bar, which is great because it's guaranteed to be a place to watch their games! They partner with the pizzeria next door - but I think about half of their menu? Honestly, just order the soft pretzel or maybe a basic pizza and you'll at least be okay. Service is like most breweries: order at the register and they'll pour your drink right away. There's nightly entertainment of some sort. Decent amount of seating at bar height or sit down levels. Dog friendly. All around recommend this bar unless you want a gastro pub - this is not gastro.

    Organizer at bar asking for follow

    Went in for BYOV "bring your own vinyl" and was told that an entire 2 hour time slot was filled.... Mind you, I called prior to driving 30 minutes and specifically asked all the questions I could think of Do you still have bring your own vinyl night? Is there a theme for tonight? Is there a stack of 300 vinyls waiting to be played? Full sides or only singles? Representative on the phone.. "let me speak to the organizer" - 3 minute hold It's pretty slow right now and the guy said that you can bring full albums or individual songs. You give them the record and they will play a song or two off the album. Then mix it in with other songs they play. Fast forward to a 30 minute drive and packing my vinyls.... 2 other people with vinyl, minus the dj.... "hey, do you know how this works. I brought 10 or so singles because I wasn't sure of the vibe." Patron with stack of vinyl as well as another patron "it's an open format" other patron "you might wanna go talk to that guy" Guy with bleached hair pulled back into a ponytail says "the entire night is booked" Seeing that there is only 2 other people with vinyl I asked him "you are only going to split the next two hours between three people's requests?" He "blatantly" lied and told me they were DJ'S not knowing that I had spoken to them previously. He went in to tell me that this was a DJ night and said he was taking over for two weeks. After I was visibly upset and left to close out my tab, he followed me to the bar to apologize and asked me to follow the original guy that runs it as well as him. While I am sure he is a nice guy, he literally put his boys on for the night. I told him that he really needs to communicate better with the staff about the format, but that doesn't make sense, because I was put on hold in order for the bartender to ask specific questions about the format. Unless she blatantly lied to me and didnt actually ask.... Therefore, both the organizer of the event and the staff deserve 1 star at most.

    Great place! Great vibes! Great great great beer!! Lots of options. Been coming here for years now. My favorite watering hole! People are very friendly. Staff is very helpful. Family and Dog friendly too! They have food from the pizza place next door that's absolutely fabulous. Salads, pizza, wings, fries, sandwiches. So many options!!! Looking for a new spot to check out and love some great beer, this is the spot!! They even have different events all throughout the week! Love the weekly brewery bike ride!

    I cant believe i haven't reviewed this before. This is hands down my favorite brewery! Whenever it's up to me to make plans I suggest coming here. They have a huge beer list as well as some seltzers. So no matter what you like to drink chances are that there will be something you like. They have tons of events throughout the year. During the week they also have trivia nights, game nights, live music, and other stuff I can't remember right now. You can also order food from the neighboring restaurant. I love their pizza, wings, fries, and pretzels. The staff is also super friendly. It isn't a huge brewery but it's my favorite place to go with friends.

    I love the 818 Brewery. The vibe is always cool here. Everyone just chillen with friends having some good beer. I always get the valley girl blonde it's just perfect taste for me. The pizza is pretty good for bar food. The esquite is on point and you get it in a little baseball hat. Usually others you meet here are pretty nice people. Must go to spot in the valley.

    Absolutely love this place great drinks great service their mozzarella sticks and their wings are phenomenal. They have good parking and it's dog friendly. The staff is so friendly and professional will definitely be coming back here and recommend this to anyone in the area or not in the area.

    Beer fix check.... Pizza? Hit or miss, frankly I've never really had an issue with their pizza or food in general up until last Sunday. Came in with the family, yes, kids and all!!! Place is welcoming families and it's great, they have an array of board games and it's entertaining for the kids and adults can have a great time together. We ordered the mushroom pizza since my husband is a of the white sauce, added chicken and onions and frankly it was mediocre not its finest! Osborne usually has the best food but I should've gone with the pulled pork pizza instead... anyway we also had mozzarella sticks which were great! Caesar salad not great, too dry not salty enough idk it was off I think the lemon pepper wings were better than the buffalo wings.... Anyway Five stars for my valley girl beer though and delicious French fries! Place was loud and just the vibe we were searching for all in all we enjoyed our Father's Day ...

    $15 dollars wings and I got two half size wings is not it not one drumstick all flats but two half flats lol

Located in a nondescript commercial park, HBB delivered on a variety of items, including some outstanding in house-produced beer, seltzer and some delicious homemade pizzas. The staff is extremely friendly and welcoming. Tons of space at the bar, including several high and low-top tables and seating outside. There are several large flat screens showing local sports (Dodgers Baseball), as well as tons of board games, pinball machines and live event activities such as themed nights, live music and comedy. Also featured on this Saturday night was free live BINGO from 7-9pm, which made the event a lot of fun. The Honey Hand Blonde is fantastic! Deliciously smooth and really tasty. Some of the other local crowd favorites are Deez Nuts Brown Ale, Not a Giant Peach, and Eddie's Irish Stout. The in-house beers were great and worth exploring. Angie, the bartender, was so nice and let us try a few samples before ordering. The pizzas are delicious! Hot, fresh, great toppings and crust. A limited food menu, stick with a classic Cheese or Pepperoni, along with a Meat Lovers to enjoy with friends while watching sports or catching live entertainment. The bathrooms are gender neutral and clean compared to most Gastropubs, and there is a ton of free street parking out front.

We were seated outside on the patio area and thankfully, there were heaters, as it got chillier than I anticipated at night! We ordered the side wedge, the buffalo wings, the smashburger and a side of truffle fries. The food was fantastic and came out VERY quickly (maybe like 5 minutes)! The side wedge is a perfect starter size and the smashburger was tasty and filling. I didn't love the cherry peppers on the smashburger but that's on me for not asking them to be removed. It was still good overall, just a little spicy. The wings were decent (7/10). The truffle fries were perfectly crispy with a good truffle flavor. The bill was about $40 for two of us (with no beverages). I would definitely come back (eager to try their happy hour).

She also had an ugly attitude. Price - 2/10 Honestly for pub food, it's way too overpriced. You're paying West Hollywood prices in the valley, probably more. I hate that each sandwich/burger is $15+ à la carte. Ridiculous! Cocktails - 2/10 Ordered an old fashioned multiple times & each time it was too heavy on the bitters. Gross!

The BBQ platter was stacked -- the ribs were tender with a smoky sweet glaze, the brisket was juicy and flavorful, and the fried chicken had the perfect crispy crunch without feeling too heavy.

Super hearty and comforting. The fried pickles were addicting, and the cornbread skillet was warm, buttery, and so good with the jam and whipped butter on the side. The hot honey-style wings were probably one of my favorite things we tried too -- crispy, sticky, sweet, and spicy. The portions were generous, the food came out hot, and the atmosphere was cozy and lively without being too loud. Dervice was great too!

Our waiter, Fredi, walked us through the menu since it was our first time visiting and truly provided the best experience for us. The restaurant has a great vibe and was very clean, spacious, and modern. The theming is spot on, and I loved the space as a whole. The food was absolutely fantastic, the deviled eggs were a highlight. The blackened Cajun catfish sandwich was unique and flavorful, and the french fries were out of this world. Honestly, all of the sides were incredible! This is officially my new favorite Caesar salad in the Valley: so fresh with really unique flavors. Fredi also kindly offered to split the salad into two plates for us since we were sharing, which was much appreciated. Before being seated, we had an interaction that left us feeling a little uncomfortable. While waiting by the host stand, manager Ashley was repeatedly calling out "table for Maria" while looking directly at my mom and I and motioning toward us. After she said it a few times we indicated that we were not that party, and she appeared surprised. It may have been unintentional, but since we are Latinas, the assumption felt a bit off putting and left a strange impression at the start of our visit. Besides that, the night ended on the sweetest note because Fredi brought out a sundae for my mom to celebrate Mothers Day. He is such an amazing waiter & we hope to come back soon!
