    World Cup watch party

    My favorite brewery in LA! They have such a good selection of beers and I love how they have a separate area for ciders. They're dog friendly and I just hosted my birthday there and the staff are all so nice and friendly. Parking: street or valet

    Brewing Cats

    Here for the FIFA 26 and Game 5 of the NBA Finals, Knicks vs Spurs. First time here also! The brewery has plenty of sitting spaces and two different bars. A lot of people here watching sports and is quite loud. Inside seatings are limited and tables can be reserved. The drinks are priced well and didn't have to wait long for ordering. Parking is very limited and most likely street parking is the way to go. Also, try to find the brewery cats!

    Such great beers and ciders! The location isn't the easiest when it comes to parking, but it's worth the visit. The atmosphere is laid-back, and the staff was friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. I'll definitely be back--maybe it's because of the adorable brewery cats roaming around the property!

    Food/Drinks: Their beer and cider selection was incredible! They really lean into a mix of crisp lagers and ales plus some fun ciders made with apples which was so fun to see! They also had pizza vendors on site, and it was so yummy, a perfect pairing with the drinks. Service: Friendly and easygoing, it was quite busy when we went but the valet was a nice touch especially when parking is limited. Some friends of ours found parking on the side streets though can't go wrong with the available service Atmosphere: The atmosphere was great both inside and outside! It's set up as a brewery, cider house, and beer garden all in one, an urban backyard vibe with fire pits and open sky. Such a fun, laid back spot to hang out with friends

    Very cool spot. I went for their Apple fest. Specialize in ciders... they had maybe 10 or 15 different ones. Nice bar area and outdoor space. They have different food trucks rotating and events. If I lived closer I would def come regularly. They also have two cats.. they had pretty cool merch with them on it.

    Came for the cats. Loved the cat themed merch. Different kinds of beers available but not much to come back for especially with parking being so limited.

    Outside area

    This place is a vibe. The outside area is chilled and the music is not too loud, meaning you can have a conversation with people. Great if you are past your 20s. There are two bars - cider bar and beer bar. They are separated by the patio area and both have different vibes, which is really cool. The music was nice when I was there. There are also screens with sports playing, which is a big bonus. The calendar on their website also shows all the events and even the food vendors, which is convenient. I had the pilsner and it was delicious. Haven't tried the ciders yet but definitely looks good, and it's something you don't see often. There is a small parking lot but also street parking in the area if anything.

    Hit up 4 breweries on a Saturday night and this one was hands down my favorite. A great vibe music plenty of seating outside and inside a great beer menu and the pizza slaps! Didn't like the red ale so the gentlemen gave me a new beer on the house! What great service is that!? The ladies I was with are particularly picky with their beer choices and they loved the sour beer. This is a great hidden gem that I will definitely be coming back to.

    One of my favorite breweries in Lincoln Heights with the only down side being the parking :( it's off on the corner of Daly st near the freeway and bridge which makes parking a bit limited. However the staff and ambiance makes up for the lack of parking! lol I really like their Mexican lager it's a light and refreshing beer. They have a ton of different themed events here and you're able go make reservations for birthdays. What makes Benny unique is that it's not only a brewery but also hard cider house.

    Base Sour
    Arianna S.

    If you're into beer and love a good keekee, this might just be your kind of place. I came here to celebrate my coworker's birthday and ended up having a really good time. They have a plethora of beers (yes, plethora), TVs to catch the game, great service, and vibes that were honestly unmatched. I personally didn't drink this time, but my friend tried the Base Sour and the Lincoln Heights Lager and was very pleased--no complaints, no side-eye, nothing but good things. Now, quick disclaimer: they also have cats in the establishment. Yes... real ones. So if you're allergic or not a fan of unexpected feline coworkers, you may want to sit this one out And lastly, parking is a bit of a sport. Be prepared to circle the block a good 2-3 times like you're qualifying for the Olympics. Other than that, pull up, grab a drink, and enjoy the vibes

    Popped in on the way to a concert. Place is top vibes. The brewery cats are incredibly cute. And the beer is crispy af. The folks working here are top notch and provided a lot of good feedback on the beers! Will be back any time I'm in LA.

    Nice selection of beer and ciders. I loved all the ciders! The flights are fun to make. Well priced. Quick service and everyone looks like they enjoy working there. The brewery has a very large seating area! There were three parties going on when we were there and it didn't feel crowded at all. Say hello to the brewery cats!!! They are so cute!

    Vibes were amazing! Service was impeccable. We didn't taste the tacos but they smelled delicious! Cider house great & the hazy beers were delicious! Fire pits, good seats, dog friendly! Can't really ask for more! Can't wait to go again soon and bring some friends!

    Ask the Community - Benny Boy Brewing

    Is it 21 and over only?

    Yes, Benny Boy is 21+ only. The only exceptions are babies in strollers/carriers at all times.

    So I've just seen two families rejected bc they had toddlers, do they not allow minors or just toddlers ? So are minors not allowed all the time or just on family Sundays? I'm confused... plis esplein lusy…

    They have someone at the entrance checking for IDs, I don't think minors are allowed if that's the case. Also they serve water, why would you want to bring a water bottle or a hydro flask ?

    Do the bands perform indoors or outdoors?

    Outdoors.

    Which days do you do the artist night or something like that where people get creative and scribble some artwork?

    1st and 3rd Tuesdays from 7-11pm! Follow @sketchparty on IG for more info.

    Does Benny Bot have good TV's and are you watching Dodger games?

    We have a large projector in the brewery with sound on! Yes, we always play Dodger games!

    Are kids allowed?

    Came here on a Sunday afternoon with my son and got turned away, no kids allowed! Really?!?! Boo Hoo!!!

    Is this place friendly to alcohol-free people?

    Hi Michael, Yes! We have a house-made elderflower sparkling water as well as bottled sparkling. Dreaming of making an alcohol-free beer - it's in-the-works!

    Seems like a cute place to work from. Are there any outlets available to charge laptops?

    Yes we do! Plenty of places to plug in and charge. We also have USB outlets and great public wifi.

    Do you offer any non-alcoholic beer options? If not can people bring their own non-alcoholic beers?

    Not yet, but we're working on some NA options! You're welcome to bring outside food, but no outside beverages please. Thank you!

    Can food be ordered for delivery to patrons?

    Absolutely!

    Do you sell cider to go?

    We do! We sell 32oz crowlers (large cans) that we seam onsite for you to take cider home.

    Is there a bike rack? Dog/kid friendly?

    Very small bike rack inside gate at brewery. Opening day saw plenty of babies. Following day a friend of mine took his 2 year old and they told him no kids allowed. Who knows. Very dog friendly.

The food's fine; what you really go for are the drinks. My biggest complaint is that it closes too damn early!! A bar that closes at 10pm? Come ON. Unfortunately, this is true of everywhere in downtown Burbank, even the bars. So it's not really their fault, it's just because of the lame character of Bubank in general.

Upon entering, the space seemed smaller, but that's OK. No one at the bar, but a girl jumped and came over (didn't get if she worked there) to ask us if we came for Trivia night (Big No, not a fan) and was almost annoyed with us that we didn't. Had to wait because the bartender was overworked and carrying things. Maybe more people working here? He was nice, but had no to time to chit-chat about ciders. Their selection was very small, not reflecting their online menu (pomegranate, peach, etc). They had only 4 ciders, one was apple, not that exciting. I tried a sample of ginger/lemongrass because I don't like ginger, but it was pleasant, more like lemongrass, light and citrusy. Got the flight, we tried to enjoy it on their patio which is nice. The music they're playing is good, but interrupted with trivia announcements. That shouldn't take over the whole space. The ciders were decent, least favorite was the apple. The citrus one was nice. Loved the berry one. Got HH prices, which was good since this wasn't the best tasting experience, not as relaxing and laid back as we hoped for. Their water container is difficult to use! I wouldn't come back due to this experience even if they serve food as well. Thursday trivia takes over too much and the cider selection is too minimal. I thought Ciderworks is all about ciders, right?

Apparently they mainly cater to private parties, but I think they are changing their format around and trying different ideas. Parking is all on the street, but for now it was easy to find a spot. Interestingly enough, there is the cider bar place, siesta day club, but attached inside was Dear Mama LA that served food. I didn't realize this until I walked in and ordered and asked about it. It's an all organic pop up place inside of siesta day spa. I got a cafe de olla and a breakfast sandwich. The coffee is very good! The sandwich, a tad more salty than I prefer, but that is my personal choice. They have a detached grill that they cook on, so I think that is why my order may have taken a bit longer than usual, but that was not a problem. :) The siesta day club part was huge inside. From the outside, it looks small, but when you walk in, you'll be pleasantly surprised. Jose was someone that I briefly talked to behind their cider bar. Extremely friendly person!!! Found out that they make their own hard cider! Everyone there is extreme friendly!!! Service was fantastic! When they get there hours more established, I'll be going there again!

AMBIANCE: Parking: Street parking, it's competing with a park that can be pretty eventful so it can be easy or it can be difficult. Seating: Indoor seating or private cabana set ups for groups. Room for a total of 100 people. Feels: This was interesting. It's not in the heart o the skyscrapers of LA but moreover in the outer end. It's hidden in a factory/storage setup in LA and right across from LA Historic Park. The place makes you feel like you're no longer in Los Angeles. You're welcomed with EDM/Tropical music and a beach/island setup. You have cabanas set up, their surfboards for decor, and colored tile floors. Great place to lounge out and host gatherings. FOOD: Charcoal Froze (Recommend) A good mix of elderberry, orange, and agave. Sweet and pretty subtle. I got a good buzz from this. Cactus Rose Froze (Recommend) This is your selection if you're looking for something tart and sour. I enjoyed the tarty sweetness from the cactus pear and it was well-slushed. The slushy gives it a nice hint of orange. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Garrett was a good dude. TL; DR OVERALL: 4.5 Stars! I've never really gone to a day bar but this was a cool experience. Reasonable prices (about $6), good selections, and a good vibe. I'm sure my experience would be different if I struggled with parking or it was excessively crowded but this was a cool gem. TIPS: * Great cider selections but they don't serve food, only snacks so if you're planning to fill your stomach, check out the local eateries!

It's a cozy establishment where you'll meet and make new friends fairly quickly here. We did! On our most recent visit we purposefully planned a meet up with a few friends of ours. Perfect Homey and cozy place to do just that. This business hosts a fun movie night on Thursdays. Although they don't have food on this night...you are allowed to bring in outside food and snacks. Our new friends provided popcorn for all the guests to share. That was awesome! I love places that bring these things together. Nice people and great brews! No brawls but only good vibes and laughter found here! The movie really helped too. We all had a blast. We got a flight of cider and a flight of the mead. Both styles of brews were great. I learned that the honey is sourced from vista and Escondido. Their product tends to be on the drier side and the mead more semisweet than too sweet. They do have fish fry-day on Fridays and we will come back for that in the very near future! I'm a sucker for fish n chips (with malt vinegar) and food when I'm enjoying a good brew.
