A hidden gem in Angelino Heights that you don't want to miss out on. If you can't find parking,…read morethey do have valet, which made it so convenient. The outdoor beer garden offers a lot of seating, shade and some great vibes. A perfect place to bring a bunch of friends to grab some food and enjoy some beer (brewed on the property). We all enjoyed some amazing beers and we ordered quite a few things on the menu to try. Everything was delicious, I was very impressed. Most of the time breweries don't really have the best food, but this one had amazing food! Service was prompt and very friendly. I got a blonde brew and it was so good and refreshing. We ordered: - 3 in a bun - Filet Mignon - breaded pork cutlets - Fennel and Pear Salad All very tasty! I definitely recommend coming by and checking this gem out. Cheers!!

Each bench has a blanket so it helps if you are willing to use it. I am a bit of germaphobe so I couldn't use it. lol My friends and I, all loved the vibe. We ordered many items on the menu but there were only two things we liked; the Mackerel and the Eggplant. Unfortunately the rest of the food was not good at all. Another thing was that none of us got buzzed from the beer. lol Majority of us agreed that the beer was watery but maybe that wasn't a bad thing. hahahaha Again, it's a cute place especially for summer time. And the Mackerel was really really good. I will probably go back for it.

The brew leans dark and sweet with rich chocolate and sweet raspberry notes. The space features both indoor seating and a nice outdoor patio.

We tried some hazy IPAs which is our preference. I was excited to try the painkiller because it's a milkshake but it was VERY sweet and coconutty. We also tried the Barrett's garden - which I loved but it was a little bit too hoppy since wanted to get a whole pitcher. We ultimately ended up getting the cloud drifter because it was super smooth and refreshing. A very solid hazy IPA and honestly now on my top 5 favorites!

I ordered the Cordon Bleu Schnitzel with Brussels sprouts and spätzle on the side. The schnitzel was easily the highlight of the meal. I don't come across Cordon Bleu very often, so I was excited to try it, and it absolutely delivered. The Brussels sprouts were a great pairing, and while the spätzle was pretty simple with a light buttery flavor, it complemented the richness of the schnitzel well without overpowering it. The service was great throughout the night. Our food took a little longer than expected to come out, but it was a busy Friday night and our server kept us updated the entire time, which I really appreciated. My friend was also celebrating his birthday month and was given a free Beer Boot, which was a really fun touch. The atmosphere was lively and perfect for hanging out with friends. We were there while the NBA Finals were on, which made the restaurant feel even more energetic. One thing I also appreciated was how easy parking was, there was plenty of street parking both in front of the restaurant and across the street. Overall, Wirtshaus has a unique menu that you don't see very often, and I'll definitely be back to try more of it.

The crispy schnitzel was topped with a creamy garlic sauce and a perfectly fried egg!! I paired it with homemade sauerkraut and homemade Spatzle, which made the meal feel truly authentic and comforting To complete the experience, I had a Paulaner Oktoberfest beer and it paired perfectly with the food The service was friendly, the food was excellent, and I really enjoyed my visit. The only thing I felt was missing was a stronger German atmosphere. Some traditional German music playing in the background would make the experience even more immersive and memorable!!

The bartender was so sweet and let us sample some as well until we landed on our desired. The place is so cute with its decorations and interior design. However its tinyyyy. Even though there's outdoor seating anticipate this place to get packed or even feel packed even at under capacity. Its an intimate setting that I think does best with its neighborhood bar environment and drinks for a first date but i wouldnt exactly bring all the girls here you know? I would say while they have food and snacks here its not their priority and a bit on the pricer side so I would say at the end of the day this place is a proper bar. Parking: It does suck I'm not going to lie to you Huge shoutout to the george foreman grill in the back! So chic. Know you were a huge talking point during my experience. If this place was closer I'd definitely go back and go often but know im for sure recommending it!

The vibe is cute and quirky--definitely one of those places that feels like a neighborhood hangout in the best way. The cider and craft beer list is stacked--lots of unique options, and everything we tried was solid. The smoked mackerel was a standout: super flavorful and served on a plate that made the whole experience fun and memorable. It is a smaller spot, and there was only one bartender holding it down, so things got a little busy at times, but the staff was super friendly and handled it like pros. Definitely recommend swinging by on a Monday if you're looking for good drinks, good vibes, and a little healthy trivia competition.

All about the Boomtown Brewery!…read more This Arts District favorite is a beat away from Union Station where I typically make my way over from to enjoy all the good good that Boom has to offer. Located on Jackson Street between N Vignes Street and Center Street (but actually on the corner on Vignes) you can find local street parking throughout the area, but nothing beats a train ride or a ride share to enjoy responsibly. Always have a great time here on the inside or their long patio with flat screens outdoors (as well as in) to catch the latest events. DJs always spinning the best beats. The brewery where the make the magic is pretty spacious yet intimate. Was able to go on a tour here and learn more about the ins and outs. The taproom is stellar for group hangs and socials. Pool tables, photo booth, arcade style games, loungey area, communal seating, and local food vendors who come out and serve up great eats. Not as many vegan friendly spot, though the few that are on select days and times are pretty solid. If you're an IPA enthusiasts they have at least 6 on the rotation including the Nose Job (7% abv) and a personal fav. Their Hydration Break WC IPA, is a little more of India Pale Ale punch (7.4%), but you can't go wrong with any. Flights are still a recommend if you want to feel out the variety. For Hard Seltzer lovers, you've got the Frosty Fresco or Al Fresco. Fruit Snacks Lager is surprisingly epic as is the Brett Michael's Blonde Sour. I do miss some of their more seasonals such as the red lager aka Part-Time Lover but do enjoy all that's on the rotation. You can pop in for events like Friday Karaoke, Tuesday Taproom Trivia or Open Mic Mondays. Book a private event for all style of events. Family and pet friendly until 7pm. Beer and wine packages available with up to 300 person capacity. No matter the day... Still come for the beer, stay for the cheer. Take in the rustic decor, artsy vibes outdoors. Planty vines and nothing but things that make you thrive. Boomtown Brewery always gets me feeling the good vibes.

We had hella rounds of Las Palmas on Draft and signed up for the karaoke list. It was jumping obviously so the list was long and sadly hadn't got called after maybe 2 hours there lol. We ended up getting some cookies from an indoor stand a vendor had set up inside. They were good af. Overall it's a laid back cool spot to down a few rounds with friends, and we did end up singing along a lot of times... so we kinda got a performance in lol. Some performers clearly outshined others but was a good time! I also liked that it's a dog friendly establishment so best believe I got some good pets in with the furry friends. Definitely would come back to try making the list earlier another time. Cool find!

This place is always recommended to me on Yelp anytime I try to find places to eat in Little Tokyo…read moreand technically it's in the Arts District, but it's within walking distance. I've had my brother and several friends say that it's good and since we were closer to this area for a pop up event, we dropped by and I finally had a chance to try it. We visited during the final game of the World Cup, so there was no more indoor dining, but there's a couple bench tables outside at the side of the building. Part of the building shades over the seating, so even on a pretty hot day, this worked in a pinch and there was a slight breeze too, thank goodness. Staff was helpful and and answered our questions. They also brought our order out to the tables outside, which was nice. They also took our trash and tray back when we were done too. Each table has ketchup, brown and spicy mustard if need be. Inside, you order and pay at the cashier, grab a number, and they bring it to you. There's a bunch of sausage links on display, as well as the sodas and you can see some of the beer that they have too. For our Sunday lunch, we got the: 1) Sunset Zero soda: -It's an imported German soda. Love that there's a zero sugar version. It's a citrus cola with ending vanilla notes. Way better than some of the orange Pepsi/Pepsi Fire they ran in the past. Nice to try. 2) Rattlesnake & Rabbit with Jalapeno Peppers: -Unique combination of predator and prey meats all encased into one sausage. Also, not often you can get these meats as well. -Slight spicy kick to it from the jalapenos and rich, buttery texture of the meats together. -Each hot dog comes with 2 toppings and we got caramelized onions and sauerkraut with this which added a nice sour and sweet taste to it too. -I liked this the most of the 2 of them. 3) Pheasant with Herbs de Provence: -Nice savory flavor, but I was a fool and ordered this with the sweet and spicy peppers as a topping since they were different from the other toppings we got and I mostly just tasted the bitter aftertaste of the peppers that sort of overpowered the meats. My mistake if anything since the bites with just meat and mustard were delicious. 4) Groot of Belgian Fries: -Huge serving, way too much for 2 people especially with 2 hot dogs and we sadly could not finish it, but at the very least it came with 2 dipping sauces. -Before ordering this, I didn't groot referred to anything other than a Marvel character. -Fries had a rich, deeper flavor than standard fries, nice slight crispiness. We got it with curry ketchup and sundried tomato mayo. The tomato mayo was fine, definitely a lighter flavor and since the fries tasted so rich on their own, I feel like the curry ketchup was a more flavorful and better match. I love a good hot dog, so being able to try it with more exotic meats, flavors, and sauces makes it definitely worth stopping by.

We enjoy visiting here as we can try different types of sausages. Rattlesnake and rabbit...?…read moreHonestly i cannot rwsily tell those are different meat, but anyway hotdogs are tasty. There is a kids menu too, but i don't see a difference. It only gives the same(maybe it was smaller? Hard to tell) hotdog with limited choice (chicken and apple flavor?) with fries. Wish i remember the price if it worths. I have been trying mainly rattlesnake&rabbit but i will try buffalo next time to see how different it is. For adults, i would not recommend chicken&apple. I feel like other flavors are way better than this.
