Huge fan of this place. It was my first time and I was blown away. So much seating, plenty of TVs, projector screen, skee ball, pool tables, and corn hole outside. Kid friendly place, and was surprisingly cool even though it was a 100 degrees outside today, amazing ventilation. Food is ordered at a window and you are given a pager to wait for your food. First come, first serve seating. Amazing tasting bar food at great prices. Soda and juice sold at the bar only for $1 with unlimited refills!! I can't wait to come back to this place! Free skee ball on Mondays!
So I wish this was in the Bay Area. I would go all the time if I lived in LA. Loved the beers, the food (birria quesadilla- omg), the vibe. Service was great. Played some Skee-ball. Music was fun. Great seating options. Loved it.
After drinking at Angel's City Brewery (just as a final drink before they close), we waltzed over to Arts District Brewing to try it for the first time. As Los Angeles is, you have to find parking on the street in order to go anywhere or you can pay for the lots. We were lucky enough to find parking two blocks away. Upon walking in, there was cute Cinco De Mayo decor all over the brewery. We were asked for ID, then we took photos of their neon sign. They had an indoor taco food place where we ordered some tacos. There was also an arcade area slightly above walking level and one near the restrooms. We took photos in their Photo Booth before ordering at their bar. They had about six beertenders and baristas last night. It was definitely busy! I ordered a hazy IPA and went to check their seating arrangements. Seating is all around the arcades, taco shop, above floor level, and on the outside. We sat in a booth and had the perfect spot to watch their broadcast of Coachella 2026. The music and bass is intense in here. I really loved our experience at this brewery. Feeling sad that Angel City is closing, we luckily can make stops here instead. So glad we found Arts District Brewing. We'll definitely be back.
Great spot with good beer at the brewery. The food was pretty good. Had the fish tacos that was crunchy but soft tender fish inside. The crema and cabbage went very well with the crunch and taste. The tater tots were also very good and very crunchy. The beer cheese went very well with that along with their fried which were also good. The time it took for food was pretty quick and the beer selection had good variety of iPad and sours and lagers and pilsners. Staff was friendly. There's lots of seating for both indoors and outdoors.
Been to Arts District Brewing many times and it's always a good time. I got the Fresita and it was good. My friends got a vodka soda and a dodger bomb shot. Our bartender was Felipe and he's great, he provided great customer service! I love the ambience, they have arcade games and inside and outside seating! We didn't get food today because we had just come from having lunch, I usually go for the asada fries are my go to, they are really good! They have tons of tvs and this time the dodgers game was on. Always look forward to coming back.
Nested in the Arts District we have this brewery with so many amenities. They check your ID at the entrance but both bouncers were great people and very friendly. This venue has different sections, for instance, the outdoor patio has long picnic tables, barrels and even cornhole sets for playing. The inside has a bar that runs alongside the whole main area. There are arcades, claw machines with prizes, there's even a water fountain shaped like a beer dispenser. The left side has a section where they sell food too. The whole brewery is a vibe and the patrons are great too. Special shoutout to the X-Men vs Street Fighter arcade machine, huge throwback to one of my favorite arcade games from the 90s. I 1 v 1 one of my friends and won easily but then lost to the computer, haha. Overall a fantastic experience.
One of the places I bar-hopped to in LA! With how crowded it was, my friends and I spent most of our time just hanging around the bar. I got the Easy Breezy Pint! Delicious. There are plenty of various games around the area and even an arcade spot where you can play with your group. This place is fun if you make it fun and definitely worth a stop if you're nearby! We parked on the side of the street and walked over. Parking may be a bit hard so keep an eye out once you're near the area.
They have a large gathering space so it's perfect for larger groups and parties. The outdoor space includes fun games like cornhole. The indoor space was full of people watching sports and screaming. It was a lively atmosphere for sure. I so appreciate their food and drinks menu, catering to different allergies and non-drinkers. They even have a water on tap station with reusable cups, which should be the norm but isn't yet so that's a big plus. The service was attentive, friendly, and pretty quick. Highly recommend this spot!
Finding Hidden Gems: Art District Brewing in Little Tokyo, LA One of my favorite rituals when traveling is hunting down the best local breweries -- and Los Angeles did not disappoint. Tucked away in the vibrant heart of Little Tokyo, Art District Brewing instantly caught my attention. The atmosphere alone made it worth the visit, with that perfect blend of industrial cool and neighborhood charm that only LA seems to pull off. The tap selection was impressive -- thoughtfully curated and clearly crafted with intention. But honestly? The food is what stole the show. I always love leaning on a server's recommendations, and this time it paid off beautifully. The chicken tenders arrived golden, perfectly crispy on the outside, and impossibly juicy within. These weren't your average bar bites -- they were the kind of dish that makes you pause mid-conversation just to appreciate the moment. Whether you're a craft beer obsessive or simply someone who appreciates great food in a great setting, Art District Brewing belongs on your LA itinerary. Next time you find yourself wandering Little Tokyo, do yourself a favor and walk through those doors. You can thank me later.
the food was okay. Nothing special, but it filled me up for the rest of the night. Emilio ordered these two sweet drinks for us and omg I did not even realize that they had alcohol. alcohol content in those drinks were not strong because I was not really feeling it :/ not impressed, but at least it tasted good. I loved that there were so many tables available and they ranged between sizes for big and small parties. I also loved that they had many activations and games available for the customers to play because it created interaction among the parties. I think that this is a good spot to host a party -- big or small. they had everything fun that is enough to start conversation between others. Parking was not bad...just use the side street. Bathrooms were available at different sections in the restaurant, so it was nice to not have to wait in long lines and have it easily accessible without a long trek to get there. staff was welcoming and did a good job to hype up the menu lol
Took my wife to Art District for some drinks and games, and this place was awesome. The beers were good and reasonably priced, they had the Dodger game on, and right after, they played the Coachella concert. I saw someone with a dog, so I assume they are pet-friendly. The arcades accept cards, so that was nice. Will definitely come back again.
Stopped by on Friday, 07/18/25 - spontaneous date night with my amazing boyfriend at DTLA after work. We ordered 2 shots of tequila ($5 each - Happy Hour Deal), 1 beer and 1 margarita. The margarita was very sour so I had to ask the bartender if he can add sweetener which he did (added agave) - tasted wayyy better after. The 2 shots weren't even a full shot (half a shot). We also ordered food: - 1 5-piece chicken tenders with ranch = $12 - 1 classic fries = $6.50 SUBTOTAL = $18.50 TAX = $1.80 TIP = $3.70 OVERALL TOTAL = $24 **Drinks and food paid by my bf** The vibe here is great! 4 stars due to the initial taste of my margarita.
Such a fun and lively place for a large group to get together and have some drinks and food. I came here on a Saturday night for a birthday party with a large group of approximately 20 people. We placed a reservation and were assigned one of the large tables towards the back. Great beers and cocktails and delicious and affordable bar food. Highly recommend this place for the amazing ambience!

This place is really cool!! I was impressed by the ease of ID check and the volume of people having a grand ole time. The patrons were a variety of soccer game viewers and large groups chatting together at picnic tables and inside. My drink of choice was an orange creamsicle and the other two members of my party had beers. The prices were fair and it seemed like bartenders were easy to flag down. My party of three went around 10P on Saturday night. read more
Have been by several times for a beer or two now, but wished I had stopped by more often for food too, as their kitchen is doing good work. A few of my guys were in town, so I took them here for local brews. The Double Classic Cheeseburger was about perfect for what it is, and make sure to try out what they currently have rotating on tap while you're at it, cheers. read more

I was so shocked by how much I loved the food here. Bar food is pretty standard- you get your burger and fries and go. My veggie burger was so umami and filled with so much flavor! I loved the addition of the burger sauce with the mustard. The tater tots were super crispy and yummy. I think it's super cute that they have skee-ball, a photo booth, and old retro games. I didn't try any of the drinks, but they looked good as well. Note: Parking is kind of limited if you go on the weekend. I recommend finding the nearby lots for $7-10/hour. If you get lucky enough, you'll find free street parking. read more

We stopped in for some lunch and a couple drinks on a hot day the vibes were good. This place is huge, there's lots of indoor and outdoor seating. There's metered street parking and a a parking lot you can pay for very close by. We decided to get some fish tacos to share and they were so yummy. Nice and crispy. To drink i got the Almost a Mojito and it was so nice and refreshing. Perfect for a hot day. They were also playing the baseball game which was cool and had some games like pool and skee ball. Service was good too. They messed up my food order but fixed it and gave me a free drink for the inconvenience. This place is also family friendly before 7pm I believe. After it's 21+. I would definitely recommend for a day time birthday celebration or a fun casual night out. read more

If you grew up in Los Angeles in the 80's you will remember this location as the Crazy Gideon's electronic store which mostly sold beepers. The interior is very old world industrial and has a cool relax anywhere vibe. The bartenders are very attentive when it's not slammed with customers. There's a pool table and video games to pass the time. read more
Seeking refuge from the deluge of rain in mid November, I waited out the storm at this spot while watching Monday Night football. This is a pretty cool place, with a variety of beers on tap, arcade machines and even in house kitchen. Not much of a dark beer fan and I even enjoyed their stout. I just sat at the bar but it was fairly empty. They paged my beeper early by accident, which was shocking because I had just ordered but I joked with the girl behind the counter she just wanted to see me a third time. Tacos were a little too creamy, but the tots were awesome. They also have a happy hour with a far range of hours. Definitely interested in coming back again to try other dishes and brews. read more

Packed on a Friday night. Finding parking is a pain. Better to do public transportation or get dropped off. Got the old fashioned with Marker's Mark. It was alright given that it is a brewery. Unfortunately, the drink was weak. Good place to hang out. They have an outdoor area if you want to get away from the indoor loud music. Discovered a speakeasy in the back called the Study. read more
Came here with my cousins, and we stayed here playing pool and games, it's pretty fun to hang here. They came for the happy hour they have, the bartenders and staff are really helpful and kind. The place is huge, a few games to choose from and a nice large outdoor seating area. They have snacks as well, we went with these loaded fries and pretzel. read more

Great spot, but fix the games! Awesome drinks, friendly bartenders, and free skeeball on Mondays. Only issue: the equipment needs serious maintenance. Golden Tee screen's been broken forever, and on a recent visit on a Monday after the Dodgers parade all but one of skeeball machines were broken. Again this place is great but management really needs to handle upkeep + maintenance of their equipment read more

Amazing staff! Okay drinks on the happy hour menu! Bartender was not shy with the tequila lol The food was okay! The tater tots are always delicious. Coworkers and I tried the fish and chips but the fish wasn't that great :/ but the staff member was super sweet and was able to make us a new fish!

My friends brought me to this place. I'm from a place where craft beer is everythjng. So this place feels like a piece of home. The easy breezy is my go-to. The food is great as well. They have an inside and outside which is nice. Great to watch sporting events, chit chat, and just have a good time! Service is pretty quick as well which is always a plus when it's busy! read more

First time here and I do not think I will be back. The food was not all that great to me and it was overpriced! I ordered the chicken strips and fish and chips, with artichoke dip. The ONLY good thing was the chicken strips! The dip was not good at all and the fish had too much batter and not cooked right. Good thing is they gave a refund. However, it took a while to order a drink because it was not enough workers. Waited 20 minutes in the bar line. The ambiance is fun and live with arcade games inside and big screen tv for sports. The parking is expensive it' best to park on street. Overall, I will not be back more than likely. -Marshay D. read more

Been coming in lately to grab a beer & watch the Dodgers game on Sundays. So far it's been great, doesn't get too crowded, bartenders are friendly, and beer is solid. Plenty of seating inside & out. They have a food spot inside - Pretzel and cheese was 10/10; tacos were just okay. Nice spot to get together with a group of friends. read more
Great beer and great food! I had just wrapped up a tattoo session, decided to drop in and grab a brew after. This brewery surprised me, huge indoor and outdoor space. They serve hard alcohol, and have dozens of TVs . Great place to have a low key convo, or play at the arcade. Love this place! read more

So I haven't been to this place in three years so when I came here tonight with my friend I had a good time until this bartender (who by the way ignored me and his co-worker who is not in the picture) gave me a whole attitude when I asked if I can get a cup of water . Mind you I am not drunk I'm still sober but my mouth was dry as fuck from the alcohol and I really needed a cup of water . My friend even noticed that him and his co worker kept ignoring me and I did keep saying wtf yes that's rude . But when I finally got this man's attention he gave me an attitude and pointed it was "over there " and i don't know what over there means wtf ! So I asked saying "sorry where ?" And he said with an attitude "It's over there by where the girl is " . Maybe the guy was having a bad day but that is no fucking excuse . And I'm going to leave a picture here . It's the guy with the white cap read more
