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 read more

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! read more

Came here during FIFA games and definitely enjoyed the layout of the spot. I'd like the two different areas that sell a nice variety of drinks. I appreciate having indoor and outdoor areas to sit. The extra bonus is seeing the cats walk around like they own the place as they should. Servers were super friendly and very helpful. read more

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.

Such a cute brewery! Went here for a friend's birthday and they were super accommodating for a large party. It looked like a lot of people did bigger party celebrations here too.

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. read more

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. read more

Came here for a birthday but will definitely be back. It's hidden away and would be easy to miss. But the term "hidden gem" definitely applies. Once you enter past the security guard you feel like you've entered a totally different world. It was a World Cup watch party when I went so the vibe was energetic but I get the impression it might always be like that. Order beer on one side of the patio and ciders on the other. Or get a half and half pint (snake bit) and get a little bit of both. Interior is small but tons of seating outside and several little areas to gather with friends sitting half logs around low tables. It's the perfect place to watch sports or hang out with friends. Parking was a bit of nightmare. Had to park about 5 minutes away and walk over cause the streets are narrow and packed. read more

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. read more

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 read more

The ambiance here is absolutely amazing. I love the outdoor vibe. It truly feels like a backyard boogie, relaxed, fun, and welcoming. It's the kind of place where you can easily spend hours hanging out, enjoying great drinks, and soaking in the atmosphere. The fire pit is a perfect touch and adds such a cozy, relaxing vibe, especially in the evening. There's a great variety of beers to choose from, whether you like something light and refreshing or more bold and complex. The service is excellent. Staff are friendly, attentive, and makes you feel right at home every time you visit. While they don't sell food directly, they regularly have different food vendors on specific days, which adds to the experience and keeps things interesting. The cider house is also a really nice touch and worth checking out. Overall, the entire place is lovely, well thought out, and a great spot to relax and enjoy good drinks and good vibes. Definitely a place I'd recommend and return to again and again. read more

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! read more

I don't think kids are welcomed tho leash or no leash lol read more

Checked out Benny Boy brewing for their ciders. It's a fun space with two sides, one for beer and one for ciders, and open space in the middle for live music, tables, and food trucks. Best part is that you might catch the two cats roaming around. They feature a variety of ciders with an option to do a taster flight. While I wanted to try the Roxy and Mango ones, I ended up getting the green tea one which did have a faint green tea flavor. We came on a night of a Dodgers game so it was pretty busy. They have cool merch and cute posters/signs. It is tucked away under a bridge and does have a parking lot out front. But if its full, there wasnt a lot of street parking options. read more

What a fun brewery space located in a little section in LA right off of the 5N. You can't miss the signage from the freeway and it's actually what caught my interest as it had advertised one of its many events hosted at the brewery, Chick S**t Bingo. My bf and I decided to go on a Sunday when they held this specific event as it was the last of the year (the Chicken S**t Bingo only happens on Sundays during the summer). There is no lot to park, and only valet parking available (the placard showed $17 on one side and $20 on the other). We decided to park about 1.5 miles away in another lot and hoof it. So definitely carpool or Lyft there. Benny Boy Brewing is tucked away off of Daly St parallel to the 5N. There are two sides of it, the brewery side and the cider house side. We chose the cider house as we orefer that over beers. Love the open air design and space of the Cider House, large wooden tables, casks line and walls as well as the tanks in the back. They had so many choices of cider but we went with the Cider Slushie and the Green Tea Cider. The Green Tea Cider was refreshing slightly bitter (not a bad thing) and had a subtle tea flavor. The Cider Slushie was our favorite though. The flavors change and at the time we went it was a wildberry cider slush. It was refreshing on a hot day and the most popuplar as almost everyone I saw walking away from the bar was getting one. We didn't try the food trucks set up and it seems that those change as well. The event was very interesting and I'd call it more Chicken S**t Roulette than Bingo. The event went from 3pm - 5pm and basically you purchase squares with numbers 1-72. Once all tickets are sold for a round they introduce a chicken to a pen and wait for it to poop on a square, winner gets $100. It did feel a bad and hope the chickens weren't stressed being put in the pen surrounded by people. Their website had a good number of various events that we're looking to checkout in the future and it's such a great way to invite more business rather than it simply being a brewery/cider house. Definitely going back for those events and try our more ciders. read more

Lincoln heights is not normally my stomping grounds but when my friend told me about an oktoberfest themed celebration happening in September nonetheless. I was intrigued. While being next to the 5 freeway, it surprisingly doesnt have that much noise pollution from the cars. Coupled with Live bands, it would feel like any other brewery. Upon entering the brewery, you get this midwestern farm town vibe i would say. It's a nice change of pace from being in the city most of the time. So I had ordered both the oktoberfest beer, kolsch, and the partnered cider they had with their partner which was calamansi flavored. I didn't get more than 2 as I needed to be a responsible adult and skedaddle safely home. the kolsh had a nice caramel profile to it, while also being light for a beer. the calamansi cider their partner makes is dangerous. It has such a refreshing calamansi note that you wouldn't think it would be alcoholic. I also ordered the schnitzel plate that a 3rd party served out for $18. I personally wasn't a huge fan of it because the sides were mac & cheese and potato salad. Both of which was extremely american. The schnitzel itself was generally bland in taste, the breading didn't have enough seasoning. Parking wise, there is valet parking but there's also street parking you just have to be mindful of the signs. Main reason I can't give it a four read more

Cool local brewery that serves cider and beers. Went during the week after work. Parking was pretty easy considering the time but can see it being limited if you go during their peak hours. They usually have a vendor selling food. They have inside seating and a cool outdoor patio area with fire pits. I'm usually a fan of breweries that have games, this one does not, but the fire pit is a nice touch if you happen to get their early enough to grab one. A great way to socialize with friends over the fire. Staff was helpful and patient as we looked over their selection. Oh, and if you are a cat lover, you will love this place. Cats are freely roaming the area. read more

Benny Boy Brewing is a laid-back spot tucked into Lincoln Heights, right next to one of those massive LA bridges you can't miss. I came here on July 12th for National Michelada Day after hearing about it online, and I'm really glad I did. They had a couple of vendors set up in the brewery space, a full-on michelada special using their Lincoln Heights Lager, and even a round of Loteria to raise money for charity. I'm not much of a drinker, but I do love a good michelada, and theirs was genuinely delicious. Came with tamarind candy too which added a nice twist. The atmosphere was just immaculate. The kind of place where you can kick back, people-watch, vibe out, and try something new without pressure. The menu had a wide range of beers and ciders, and you don't need to commit to a full pour right away, you can get taster sizes for around $4, or a pint for around $12, all made in-house. Parking is definitely the trickiest part. They offer valet for $17, which is a solid option if you want peace of mind, but a lot of people, including myself; just parked underneath the bridge nearby, even though the signs all said "No Stopping Any Time" Definitely felt like a gamble, but we didn't get a ticket, and it seems like thats what everyone does. This spot is already on my list to come back to, maybe even for a birthday or chill hangout. There's a strong sense of community here, regulars seem to know the staff and each other, and everyone's just in a good mood. Good drinks, good energy, good people, and a real taste of LA in one little brewery patio setup. Definitely recommend. read more

The weirdest of vibes. I've never been to a non-family friendly brewery before. We were informed by security at the front that our 2-year-old could come in but only if he was held the entire time, and if he was caught walking around we would be asked to leave. They're very dog friendly, but beware if your dog isn't a fan of cats or if you're allergic as they do have cats that freely roam the premises. The beer was fine. If you're a fan of lighter beers I would recommend Homage Brewing, Arrow Lodge, or Angel City (soon to close), all of which are in the area and are very kid and dog friendly. Additionally there is extremely limited parking available in the area, so be prepared to pay $20 for valet. read more

What a great place to hang out with family and friends for drinks! I love that there are options for everyone! Beer, ciders and wine! Lots of tables and seats for everyone.

Besides for the parking this is a pretty dope spot to checkout for beers, wines, and ciders. Beers range from $8-$12 for a pint/full and they all come from the tap. Poured perfectly and also tasty. Vibes are chill and plenty of seating. It's 21+ and they card for entry. Very limited food options as there was only one vendor that had food. Overall nice spot to go with friends. Side note, they have two cats that walk around. Adorable little fellas! Parking - Absolutely SUCKS. Street parking nearby and valet but they were waving off people for the valet so... you just have to get lucky really. read more

Benny Boy Brewing - Cider Flight - Breweries Near Me - Los Angeles, California

(Drank 08/20/25 WE @ 5:30pm): Oh boy... Benny was brewing some good local craft stuff! I was on my way to see a play when I decided to pull off the freeway, waited out the traffic, and visited Benny Boy Brewing for the first time. I first heard of them when I saw one of their beers at Paperback Brewing Co. and gave it a try. Founded in 2022 by the husband and wife team of Benny and Chelsey, their mission was to create an outdoor drinking experience with a strong sense of community, uniting craft beer, cider, and wine lovers in one urban backyard (the 101 freeway passes almost directly above you). Los Angeles' first combined brewery and cidery, and the only tank bar in town, they were certain to attract those with an eclectic drinking taste. Would I return for another taste of Benny's brew!? PURCHASE(S) Benny Boy Brewing Lincoln Heights Pale Lager Beer 5.0% ABV 16floz Draft ($8.00): Bright hazy amber color, floral malty aroma, light body, bready malty wheaty flavors, crisp gentle finish, and bready wheaty aftertaste. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=48&select=YSmOchP2H-mRgHxyVssh1Q Benny Boy Brewing Basil Bandit Saison Farmhouse Ale Beer 5.0% ABV 16floz Can Poured ($9.00): Rich copper color, aromatic floral herbal aroma, light body, basil earthy herbal flavors, smooth finish, and basil herbal aftertaste. This was my favorite of the bunch because of its unique basil taste. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=AP2B1H25xJ31y6LNp8bxcA Benny Boy Brewing Brewery Cat Japanese Rice Lager Beer 5.0% ABV 16floz Can 4pk ($16.00): Slight hazy amber color, bread malt wheat aroma, light body, baked bread rice wheat flavors, clean finish, and bread wheat aftertaste. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=rvS6yQcVOYjIICQBvDReEA SERVICE I was warmly greeted by a young female behind the counter who gave me a quick rundown of their beers. I ordered one, returned for another, and then eventually finished with a 4pk to go. All was easy and straightforward as you had to go to the bar each time to order a drink - thank you! PARKING (FREE) With only street parking available, I luckily found a spot on the main drag of Daly St. steps down from the entrance. However, the area was in an industrial sketchy area with a small homeless encampment and various illegally dumped items along the nearby sidewalks and streets. Park at your own risk or consider a ride share option. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE Large open spaces inside https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=nkYsIIsL4gN8J6xsrNxr4w and outside https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=lUg5vLgy2O-ZIgHHIknawA with a ton of places to sit, it was a warm welcoming feel once you stepped off the gritty sidewalk and street. Inside, you also had a merchandise corner and a cooler if you wanted to take anything to go. Plenty of natural lighting inside through the many windows and the outdoor beer garden while electric ceiling and strung lights, respectively, filled in the rest. There were several TVs inside and outside while I couldn't recall any background music except for the heavy freeway traffic noise in the close distance. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=BvTS8bR0mO4N6Jp_-DCcdA ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL I enjoyed myself at Benny Boy Brewing and would consider another visit. The beers were tasty albeit limited in availability (less than ten on this visit), variety, and ABV, but you also had ciders, wines, and non-alcoholic beverages to choose from. The prices were standard with options from tasters to pitchers. I didn't see any snacks (I always loved something salty to munch on while I drank beer), but there was an onsite food vendor and they allowed outside food. The service was easy and straightforward, and at least pets were allowed on the outdoor beer garden/patio. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $36.00 BEFORE any discounts/tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 4.0 STARS read more

One of my new favorite places in LA! Benny Boy Brewing is a hip brewery and beer garden with an extensive lineup of community events. I attended their Applefest and absolutely had a blast, they even partnered with local vendors like Latinx with Plants! Pro-tip: order the cider flight or beer flight, you won't regret it. My favorite was the mulled cider w/ brandy, they even make one w/o alcohol. The general atmosphere was fun and the staff are super sweet, esp guiding the apple pressings! And don't forget to say hi to their brewery cats! read more

Love the atmosphere here and love it even more because the name of the brewery is my dog's name! My sister and I initially came here because they sell a tshirt that my sister really wanted. We ended up staying for a bit too after we bought the shirt to just hang out and try some of the drinks. My sister and and I shared a flight so we can have a variety of drinks. My favorite is hazy persuasion. So crisp and delicious. 10/10 would get again. Brewery Cat Rice Lager was good as well. My least favorite was the Dessert Champagne. The other cool thing is that they have a cider bar section as well. The hot cider was very tasty and exceptionally good because it was chilly outside. They have cat who roams around the brewery and it is one of the chillest cats I have ever met because he sleeps through all the loud music. I was able to bring my dog as well and he also enjoyed people watching and hanging out/meeting new people. Overall, great experience. I saw some signs around that they also have events on some days. I would come back here again. read more

Benny Boy Brewing made a great impression, even right at last call. I ordered the cider slushie of the week. It was watermelon flavored and tasted great. One warning though. Instant brain freeze after a few sips. At fifteen dollars, it feels pricey, but it is fun to try once. The space works well for hanging out. You get plenty of room inside and outside to talk and relax. They also had food near the entrance, which is a nice bonus if you need something to eat. The real stars are the two resident cats, Later and Baby Al. Both are super friendly and clearly love people. I am allergic and still could not resist. One of them climbed into my lap and fell asleep. They seem completely comfortable around guests. The bartenders were friendly and welcoming, which tied the whole experience together. Benny Boy Brewing is a solid spot to hang with friends, try something different, and maybe pet a cat or two. read more

Perfect for beer haters like me! I hate beer with a passion, so I'm thankful for a space that has a variety of cider options. They even have a couple wine options and some non alcoholic beverages. We tried every single cider on the menu, and the only two I didn't like were Orchard Orange and Viva Grav. They tasted like dirty socks lol. Idk how else to describe it, but I wasn't a fan. Majority of their seating is outdoors so come prepared, but also, they do have heaters outside. As far as food, they have rotating pop up vendors, but I appreciate they also allow outside food! Parking is a pain in the butt. You'll probably just have to pay for valet, as the streets in the surrounding neighborhood don't have available parking. $15 for valet. Overall, I would return :) read more

Great place for anyone who enjoys sours brews. They have a great food selection. Personally i'm not the biggest fan of sours but love this place because of their ambiance and overall vibes. They have food vendors regularly and on special occasions the put together watch parties for any sporting events happening. The place is great if you wanna hang out with friends. They also have 2 cats named, "Later" & "Alligator" . Not the biggest cat person but these two cats pass the vibe. People working there are super chill too. Parking could get a little tricky but they also have Valet if you ain't wanna deal with all that. read more
