Progress felt like home and the owners made you feel like you were hanging out in someone's backyard bar. Besides seeing someone piss themselves on a chair I never saw anything negative here. They had amazing michelada beers that were perfect for summertime heat. Progress had the best Dodgers postseason watch parties. They would roll out the big screen and the place would be full of fans cheering. It terrible seeing this progress close. There is going to be a big hole left in South El Monte community. I hope the brewery cat finds a nice home!

They have a form you can request at the bar to fill out for a reservation. We ended up not making a formal reservation but we did inform them about our guest count. They let us bring flowers to decorate tables and they even let us hang up a banner. I had so much fun and am so glad we were able to have our party there. The manager was great and she even went out of her way to make is a custom drink menu. They were adorable! The bar is really spacious so we had plenty of room for our guests. The drinks are yummy and I heard many of my guests complimenting the drinks too. The bathrooms and general bar are always really clean, which is a huge plus. Also, there's a great patio out back. There's lots of convenient parking in this area too.

There's no floor service, and the bartenders won't even acknowledge you unless you walk right up to the bar. ​There is zero waitress service, and the bartenders completely ignore you until you approach them. When we finally got ordered, our drinks were served in the smallest plastic cups,. The excuse? "Due to fights." But yet the price was the same, as a normal cocktail drink. Yet, my boyfriend was served a Corona in a literal glass bottle... go figure. Food also comes on paper plates. ​To top it off, the male bartender was not welcoming at all!!

Located in the industrial area of San Gabriel, Ogopogo highlights their ube beer and food. Sad to say, they do not make a pandan hazy IPA anymore, which was my main reason for coming. I had no idea! We parked in the faded parking lot in the front of the brewery. The parking is unclear as for the opposite side says no parking. We walked in, and felt very cold, since it was a rainy/cloudy day. They had their doors open that led towards he outside seating and the front entrance, so a breeze was going through. On a Sunday afternoon, it was not busy at all. We took a small look around the brewery and didn't see anyone. The beertender was actually hidden towards the left and wasn't near the register. She didn't say anything nor greet us. In fact, I don't know if she said anything at all. We ordered out two beers and went to sit down. I found out that she was counting her minutes to leave and another beertender took her spot. We sat in the back where the music wasn't as loud so we can do some work. I ended up going back up to order their hot dog happy hour: a Boeman and a hot dog for $10. I then ordered myself a hot dog for $5 in addition to a Hazy IPA. the second beertender was a tad nicer than the first. She explained to me the discontinued beer, which I didn't know about. The hot dog was pretty good for the cost. It's bigger than a hot dog you'd get at a stadium and it was definitely half the price. They had ketchup packets and offered onions as a topping. As for their beers, it was decently priced with the haze I was expecting. They had a bigger crowd of people starting at 6 when we left. The parking lot was filled on both sides and people created their own lot with their cars. It's just odd how no one really comes throughout the day on a Sunday. They could offer more foods, snacks, or incentives to get people coming, but I didn't see any of that. The workers seemed not to care too much either, so that's a bummer. Again, lots of potential, but the care needs to be put in. I probably won't be back.

There was both inside and outside seating available, a couple of table top video games, an electronic juke box which wasn't used as there was Dj playing tunes.

I got the elote egg rolls to start and the chimichuri steak sandwich and BKB burger to share. The elote egg rolls were pretty good but, IMO, would have liked some more chunks of corn to represent the OG elote. BKB burger was ordered medium and was juicy and tender. The chimichuri steak sandwich was disappointing, however. I wasn't a fan of the chimichuri sauce or the lack there of it as the flavor was very subtle and too herby for me. I'd definitely come here again tho to try more of their drinks, especially the beers. I got the cali creamin which was a nice smooth stout and the mango tango soju cocktail that was pretty light. Parking is in the back if you're lost on parking details. There's indoor and outdoor seating where doggos are welcomed too!

Meh, after my second time going, probably not going back…read more Ambiance was nice. Drink options are limited. It is personally weird to me that a restaurant that has its own brewery doesn't brew their own stouts or pilsners. In terms of spirits, they only have tequila, so you can only get tequila-based cocktails. At that point I was asking myself, "why have a liquor license and only have one kind of liquor?!" Service was pretty slow. Went on a Friday night and they were packed, so that makes sense. But even when the room started to clear, service was still slow. Only thing that was fast was when they came to pick up the bill payment. But I'm willing to believe they were understaffed band I came in at rush. Food was okay. They don't really have any light options aside from salad, and they have very few chicken options, and I think they only cut they have is chicken thigh. Their concha bread pudding had a really stiff texture, and the ice cream scoop on top tasted and felt freezer burned (but I accept this could be an intentional reinterpretation). Was a nice experience, but the food, drinks, and service were lacking.
