    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.

    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.

    Beer was excellent. We definitely would come back again. The drinks look great and I would try them next time

    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!

    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!

    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

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Fish Tacos and Tater Tots

    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.

    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.

The vibes are always fun, especially when they host different food and artsy vendors and live DJ's. The staff is not overly friendly, but they get the job done; they greet you, they serve your beer, they pick up the empties and repeat. Unfortunately, there is only one unisex restroom, so depending on how busy they are or if there is a popular themed event you can expect to be waiting in a line for a while. Another thing to mention, there is very limited street parking, so patience is key and/or walking shoes for when you find something in the surrounding streets.

Good service, really great beer and cider, nice atmosphere, decent bar food. The location is near the Chinatown Metro station, so we walked the 0.2 miles. Everyone goes the opposite way from that station, going to Chinatown. Instead, we went the opposite way. It's the second time I've gone east from that station, walking on N Spring Street (used it once to go to Majordomo...HPB is a lot closer). Learnt that it's better to keep on the west side of Spring (next to the park), rather than cross immediately. The homeless encampments are really built up on the East side, fully occupying the sidewalk, making you walk in traffic. It's a pretty industrial part of the city, with a bit of street parking near the brewery. It was already fairly busy less than an hour after opening on a Saturday. It's 'sit-yourself', with both outdoor and indoor seating. There are multiple lines where you can place both your food and beer order. Beers are given right away, with food being delivered to your table later. Ended up placing my entire order at once, closing it out immediately. They use Toast as their payment processor, making it easy to get a digital receipt. Rattlesnake Wit Pitcher ($33) - enough for 4 pints. Witbier is my favorite style, and this one really hit the mark for me. Extremely light and fresh. Will seek this out to see if the cans are as good as the draught was. Granada Sincere Cider ($12) - my wife enjoyed her draft apple cider. Three food items, all pretty solid. Fish Chips appetizers ($18.50) used smaller cod pieces, well fried with decent fries. The Chips & Queso ($7.25) came out first: not a huge amount, but thick greasy chips that tasted good in the homemade yellow queso. Our cashier suggested animal cheese wedges ($12) - sidewinder french fried potatoes, covered in a chipotle sauce with grilled onions. It was tasty. All the bathrooms (three I think) are private gender neutral, with a common sink for washing. It got more and more crowded as we sat, and by the time we left an hour later, all the tables were taken. Popular place on a beautiful Saturday afternoon.
