I came this Saturday with my husband for some drinks and food. This was a horrible experience for me. The service was terrible. Two servers that were not nice and no costumer service experience at all... then she forgot to place my order and brings out appetizers with only my husbands meal. Not even apologized for forgetting to place my order. How can anyone stay in business with this kind of service!! read more

Great ambiance, delicious food, friendly service close to Hermosa Beach Fruit punch spirtzner is always our favorite. Apple cider is good too. I love their seasonal menus. Jumbo scallops and creamed spinach was delicate and fresh. Bacon burger was massive and perfect! Korean tacos had a good punch with gochujang baed sauce. The sauce was a bit too strong to enjoy meat but overall it went really well. Kids menu was good. Generous portions. Thought the kids may be able to play with games but we sat outside so pivoted to our coloring and other tools we brought from home. The only wish is to have a large umbrella for the long patio table. They have umbrellas to small stool tables. Most of the time it was covered by the tree but it would be nicer if they have an umbrella. read more

Here's the thing: the food and drink are world-class awesome. Ask for the cr**k fries even though it's unbecoming to call them that. That kitchen is firing. If you're a precious soul and you go to restaurants to made to feel like a king and you need people to dip down and bow to you, yeah, you might struggle here because this place is focused on great food not your ego. Love this place. And because Coronado Barber Co is across the street, we're here often. Go get your hair cut and then enjoy some great food here read more

Was in town looking for some good food and drinks. While we were standing outside checking out the menu one of the chefs came out and was super friendly. He gave us a great recommendation and said this was one of the best spots near the pier. The reviews looked good too so he definitely sold us on giving it a try. When we walked in we didn't see anyone at first so I asked a host if we could sit anywhere. His attitude was terrible. He was rude, had this arrogant vibe, and completely threw us off. That alone made us walk right back out because we didn't want to be served by someone acting like that. Shoutout to the chef though because he was genuinely nice, helpful, and even made us laugh. Maybe I would give this place another chance in the future but if that same host is there we will probably skip it again. read more

Worst service I've had in awhile 6/12/26. I ordered two kids burgers and a hamburger meal for myself. After 40 minutes the kids burgers came out and at the hour mark I canceled my order. The waitress couldn't care if I lived or died, which is fine. You're a super chill waitress in hermosa read more

I end up on Hermosa Beach for work from time to time and always enjoy grabbing a bite to eat and a local beer. I've met some of the most interesting people here and the staff is always helpful in selecting a brew. read more

Great experience with both indoor and outdoor seating available! The bartender was very kind and offered me tastings since I did not know what to get. He offered something similar to what I normally order which turned out wonderful. I tried the South Bay Lager and it was crisp and refreshing. The brewery has a relaxing vibe and is a fun place to hang out with friends. Bonus, one block from the strand. read more

A neighborhood staple. Good beer, good service. That alone would keep us coming back, but even better, they have incredible food. We usually mix it up and try something off their list of specials. We've had amazing ceviche here. Their wings are also amazing. The food is way better than the typical stuff around the pier. Enough about the food, the beer is really good too. When we have friends in town visiting we always get a flight so they can find their favorite. Mine is the Get Busy Living (red ale). They have a really good variety. Lots of breweries lean IPA heavy, but Hermosa Brewing has a lot more than lagers and IPAs. There's usually a cider too for the gluten free folks. Cheers! read more

Came in on a Tuesday evening for a party of 2 and got seated right away. It's a smaller place inside, not many tables. Looks like they take reservations too. Friendly staff, checked on us multiple times. Solid beer choices and food was tasty! Would definitely go back. Burger was a little greasy, Nashville chicken wasn't really (spicy) hot and had lots of breading. Carnitas fries were fantastic. Several other items looked good on the menu which I would try in the future. Nice spot ratepayer away from the beach! read more

Really nice beers! Great food! Steps from the beach! Outdoor and indoor seating! I love this place. They don't brew on site, but the beer is all theirs. Street parking and a parking lot nearby. read more

WOW, THE FRIED CHICKEN here (& hazy IPA) was absolutely delicious. Out of this world. While I get this a a brewery, this could totally be a fried chicken shop and it'd still make a great hit. Now pair that with great beer as well, wowzers!!! The fried chicken was perfectly crisped (southern style) with such a juicy generous delectable portion of Cole slaw without being too mayo or "thin wet mayo forward." The breading itself was greatly seasoned and flavored with a savory umami herb blend. The spice had a kick to it without being too over powering. If I had to pick a part one weakness is that it was slightly too salty and paired with that spicy kick it was sometimes a harsh bite. However the coleslaw and golden brown bun was a perfect compliment that brought this harsh bite back to a delicious balanced fried chicken sando. Size wise this was such a generous portion and it came with your choice of fried, tater tots...etc. The fries were well seasoned with salt and pepper. A little soggier like McDonald's fries but because of its seasoning it was still yummy but just nothing to write home about. The hazy IPA here was actually better than Vista's hazy IPA. However if you're not bar hopping and doing a direct side by side comparison it would hard to tell the difference. Now onto the less desirables: * service wise, the staff was friendly but was very curt * our chicken sando took 27 minutes to come out. Luckily we were sipping on beers but man that's a long time. My bf ordered & finished 2 beers before it came out. By the time it came out we had to eventually ask for it to go and eat the rest in the car. * the seats here are the most uncomfortable seats I've ever sat in. Hard to get comfy. They're metal bar stools with a very small lower back meaning the metal back rest of the stool jabs into your back if you ever lean back. The seat itself is hard and relatively small so it's hard to reposition and get comfy. * COLD. They have the AC blowing horizontally & directly at the tables so it's a straight blast of cold AC to you. In a perpendicular angle is the open door which by the beach, causes a huge draft as well so even in mid day March, there's this uncomfortable indoor cold draft blowing at you. * 2 TVS that are muted * 2 bathrooms for customers - relatively clean For the food and drinks id prefer here as opposed to Vista. However it's so hard to get comfy here so it's hard to do multiple rounds. It's more like do one and bar hop elsewhere Meter Street parking for 2 hrs read more

Hermosa Brewing - Fried chicken sandwhich with fries . AMAZING. A MUST GET for fried chicken lovers - Brewpubs Near Me - Hermosa Beach, California

It was our first time eating here even though we have lived close for years and have stoped for beers. It was stupid good. We got the avgolemono soup that was on the special board, the jumbo wings, and short rib Korean tacos. All had insane good flavor and Veronica was such a down to earth server with great beer recommendations. The chef has new specials on rotation all of the time highly recommend. read more

I can't speak about the food because the service sucks. We waited to be seated and once we were, no one came to take our order. We sat there for 10 mins while two other parties were seated and served. When we asked if we had to go to the counter to order, she said she'd be with us in minute and then disappeared in the back. I'll never go back. There are too many good restaurants with good servers in Hermosa. If I I were the owner I'd fire the person we didn't wait on us. read more

On Monday evening, my son and I ordered a bacon, cheese burger but did not want to sit so we ordered it to go since we did not want to miss sunset. I just wanted to say thank you to all of the staff that work there for their kindness, friendliness, and generosity. A gentleman asked my son if he's ever had their famous pretzel to which my son replied no. It was our first time there. They all seemed to enjoy talking to my son; he's 8yo and has ADHD so he can't really sit still. Anyway, I just felt so blessed being around people so kind. The gentleman (he told my son he was 47yo -that's all I remember of him) surprised my son with a free pretzel, and my son was full of genuine joy! It was such a beautiful moment to see his reaction! Thank you for your kindness! That pretzel was really yummy! And my son LOVED his burger! read more

Came here on a Friday night without a reservation. We were a group of 3 and we were seated fairly quick. They had to clean a table and that was it. Friendly staff but it there was only 2 or 3 people handling the tables and it was crowded so the service was kind of slow. We constantly had to try to get someone's attention when we wanted to put in our food order, ask for condiments, and grab the check. It probably took an extra 10-15 min overall. I ordered a taster of a guava beer and the red ale. Highly recommend both. I got the poblano tacos and surprisingly there wasn't much of a kick to it. I ended up asking for a hot sauce (waitress recommend the habanero sauce) and man that one was spicy. It was a great combo although kind of wish i asked for a slightly less spicy one. The beer helped cool down the spice at least! read more

Absolutely blown away by our experience at Hermosa Brewing Company! The service was incredibly friendly and helpful--our server Veronica took the time to walk us through the menu and beer options, and every single recommendation was on point. We tried the Western Bacon Burger, which was loaded with thick, crispy bacon and hands down the best BBQ sauce I've ever tasted. The buffalo wings were next-level--crispy, saucy, and bursting with flavor. The Tater Tots were hyped as the best in the country, and honestly... they delivered. Plump, golden, perfectly crisp--just unreal. As for the beers, we went with the Hazy AF, Windmill Pilsner, and We Love LA Hazy IPA--and each one was phenomenal. Bursting with flavor and super fresh. Yes, the food is a bit pricey--but when it's this good, with a chill vibe and top-tier service, it's worth every penny. This place is a must-visit, and we'll absolutely be back! read more

Been here a few times. Giving them 2 stars because the food and beer is good but the service the last 2 times here was horrible. Waited about 20 minutes to get a beer and coke but I had to remind our servers because she forgot. Waited another 20-25 minutes for our food but only 3 of us got our food. Another 20 minutes passed and I had to ask the waitress where my son's food was. I thought it was because it was busy when we first got there but it really died down after being there for an hour and half and our waitress never got better. read more

Just tried the yellowtail tartar and the shrimp and avocado appetizer and it was amazing. And oh yeah the beer is good too read more

I've heard wonderful things about the food here and was excited to try it. Stopped in yesterday afternoon on a beautiful beach day and the sign said "Please wait to be seated", so we waited, and waited... as the servers walked back and forth past us, and once a server finally acknowledged us, she told us to sit wherever we wanted. We sat, and sat... no water, no service. 10 minutes goes by, other patrons come in after us and get waters and drinks, yet still no service for us. Then we finally innocently asked if we were supposed to get up and order from the bar since the two servers were back there chatting (obviously not seeming busy) and the server very rudely, says "No, we'll get to you!" instead of "Oh sorry, be right with you" and then she proceeds to go into the kitchen and doesn't come back. We were obviously offended and aggravated and decided to leave and go to La Playita where we were welcomed warmly and appreciated for coming in. We won't be coming back to Hermosa Brewing if they hire people who don't appreciate our business and as based upon prior reviews, this isn't the first, or second time this has happened. Word of advice: Hire a manager. read more

Great beers. we haven't been back to try the food, but I love the vibe and location of this brewery

Decent beer, but poor service. The waitress was slow to take my initial order, and slow to provide a menu and to take a snack order. When I asked for her to take a second drink order, she said that should would be with me in a moment, and then subsequently didn't bother. I did not place that drink order. Needless to say, I will not be back, nor will I purchase their beer in one of the local stores. read more

If you live locally and haven't ordered off the chef's board, you are seriously missing out. Chef Aaron has done an amazing job elevating the menu of this local brewery. The scallop ceviche was one of the most delicate and delicious dishes I have ever eaten. It literally melted in my mouth. The panzanella salad was light and just as tasty. Aaron does a great job of explaining where each ingredient is sourced from and I really appreciate the amount of care he puts into his food/menu. Our waitress was friendly and efficient. I love coming here when in the area as I am never disappointed! read more

Trivia is available on Wednesdays at 7pm. There's 7 rounds and it's a fun group activity. The reservation can be made online but note that the group size is limited to 6. We had a group of 8 so we were split into 2 groups of 4. Indoor seating is only for trivia but they have outdoor seating as well for regular patrons. Two item minimum is required for trivia in order to offset their costs. You order at the bar and they bring your food to your table. I got the fried chicken sandwich, which was huge and tasty. I added fries for an additional $3. I also got a chocolate cake (which came with housemade whipped cream) and had a raspberry filling. They have shareable including loaded tots and sweet potato fries that may be good for the table. read more

As a local I have probably been here ~10 times over the last few years and have usually enjoyed my visits. They have a decent food menu for the size of the place. The good: - Staff is friendly - Food is pretty good - Nice outdoor seating area The bad: - The beers aren't great and when I have been in they are usually out of my the type that I enjoy, not sure if it is a seasonal issue or not. read more

Disappointing experience at Hermosa Brewing Company. We arrived to find several open tables, but were told by a staff member that they weren't seating anyone because the tables were all reserved. I asked for a wait time and was told to come back in 20 minutes -- no name taken, no list, no clear process. Came back 20 minutes later, and was told the same thing with no progress or acknowledgment. Poorly managed seating and customer service. Won't be returning. read more

I really like Hermosa Brewing. Some great beers and the chicken sando is excellent! Service is always friendly and helpful. Cerberus, a West Coast IPA is my "go to." Vibe is low-key and cool, better than the monkey business on Pier Ave. 5 stars read more

This review is for the salmon tacos specifically as we didn't try anything else. I love salmon tacos and these were really tasty. No complaints except for wish there were 3 instead of 2 because they were great. We also tried a side of French fries, which weren't particularly exciting but they were good. We also tried their "Ollie" and "Cerberus" which were tasty. Great service and small cozy food local food vibes. read more

Nice spot to grab a beer and a snack during the day time! Love coming here after a brunch or lunch nearby and relax. Large selection of beers. We tend to grab some apps to share so really haven't had the wings or sandwiches here but always see people order em. Service has always been solid. Can order at the bar but generally someone is always swinging to see if you need any more beers! Indoor and an outdoor area, great for people watching haha. read more

Every beer I've had there has been very good or excellent. And the food is awesome! The staff is exemplary, especially Rachel. I actually met the owner by chance at another establishment. He was a great hit, very unassuming. It wasn't until a few weeks after I met him they I realized who I had met. Highly recommended. read more
