Finding Hidden Gems: Art District Brewing in Little Tokyo, LA…read more One of my favorite rituals when traveling is hunting down the best local breweries -- and Los Angeles did not disappoint. Tucked away in the vibrant heart of Little Tokyo, Art District Brewing instantly caught my attention. The atmosphere alone made it worth the visit, with that perfect blend of industrial cool and neighborhood charm that only LA seems to pull off. The tap selection was impressive -- thoughtfully curated and clearly crafted with intention. But honestly? The food is what stole the show. I always love leaning on a server's recommendations, and this time it paid off beautifully. The chicken tenders arrived golden, perfectly crispy on the outside, and impossibly juicy within. These weren't your average bar bites -- they were the kind of dish that makes you pause mid-conversation just to appreciate the moment. Whether you're a craft beer obsessive or simply someone who appreciates great food in a great setting, Art District Brewing belongs on your LA itinerary. Next time you find yourself wandering Little Tokyo, do yourself a favor and walk through those doors. You can thank me later.

This place is pretty great when they aren't busy. When they're busy though, the bartenders are rude…read moreaf. I refuse to scream at bartenders to get served, however the last time I was there after standing there for 15 minutes trying to be patient waiting for my turn and getting skipped over for rude customers being pushy, I realized it was necessary which only pisses them off even more but at least you're able to get a drink which is why most people are there in the first place! Lots of TVs for watching sports, skeeball, pool, food stand for tacos inside...

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!

I'm so sad to see this place closing soon. It was my favorite brewery in Los Angeles... I even had…read moremy engagement party with my fiancé here. The staff here is incredible in a fabulous location. Even though you had to fight for parking, the brews were good and so were the vibes. The food trucks were great! The seating has ample space above the place and below. The best part was being able to walk around to the Truly LA bar or even the arcade down the street. I need to stop by one last time to say goodbye, but you were loved. You were magnificent. Thanks for the good beers and laughs! Until next time, partner.

Great spot overall with a really nice, open layout, there's plenty of space to hang out without…read morefeeling crowded. The environment is relaxed and inviting, and they have a solid selection of beers to choose from. It's also cool that they bring in vendors, though they do seem to wrap up around 6pm. Just a heads up: they don't serve food inside, but there are food trucks right outside, so you won't go hungry. The only real downside is that you can't open a tab, you have to pay every time you order, which can get a little inconvenient. Still, a great place to chill, grab a beer, and enjoy the atmosphere.

Great weekend afternoon spot for a brew and food from their onsite restaurant, Chico's Tacos…read more I love that it's housed in a former Firestone tire shop and they left many of the old elements in tact. I opted for the blackberry cider this time. It was refreshing with just a hint of sweetness. It complemented the country fried wings with Korean bbq sauce. My friend got a trio of tacos, battered fish, chicken, and jackfruit that he thoroughly enjoyed. We easily found parking on the next block. And that both All Season and Chico's accept inKind for payment is another plus. The spot is great for gatherings, small or large, families and dogs and the atmosphere is festive but can get loud.

So much space to sit indoors or outdoors- indoors they show sports games, have arcade games, and my personal fav a huge Photo Booth!! It's Los Angeles so be prepared to struggle with parking but it's worth it; simply pay attention to signs. When coming in they ask to show ID, you and your group and grab any available table and the bar is open to start a tab at any moment! The service was quick and easy, the bartenders were super helpful with any questions we may have had and the prices were reasonable. We didn't try any food but we had plenty of drinks and they were great! I had a Lychee Martini & a "Hot Girrrrl Summer" drink and before I knew it they were goneeeee. Such a good time with my girls; chatting, drinking and taking pics- Will definitely miss the vibes but I will be backkkkk!

The area is beautiful and makes you feel like you are in another city, not DTLA. They have a ramp and stairs to access the spacious Venue. I felt like I was at home. The gentleman with the friendly smile was helpful and had such a pleasant demeanor. I sampled the dotsxcreators (tasty), east la ipa and the watermelon salt taps, very interesting flavor profiles. My first was a classic, The Dopest, and then I ordered the creaturevision (my favorite of the night!) Such a good time, met Teo and he was a blast to chat and sip with!

Cool spot! Kinda of hidden away,…read more Chill and cool crowd, Good beers, lots of NA options also which is rad. Food trucks outside sometimes, some events and stuff. I showed up during a dr who night, and the place was packed with nerds watching dr who, it was pretty rad. Seems like they do love music also. Cool neighborhood beer spot, I'll have to go back and try some other options!

Lawless brewery is tucked away in a residential street, right by the heart of noho arts district…read more Great service with great staff overall and good vibes. There is plenty of street parking around and the place is walkable. I visited this past Friday for the soccer game (Brazil Vs. Haiti) and noticed it was not extremely packed as it was the night prior (Mexico had won). Walked in and formed line to place my beer order. I went with "Big Screen Energy" IPA 8.2% imperial/double. I enjoyed this flavor so much that I ended up getting two more rounds later. Plenty of beer selection on tap and even wine. They offer indoor/outdoor seating as well as some space upstairs. Indoors they have a big screen, and the outdoor patio has a TV. Lastly, the upstairs area has a smaller TV. They also have rotating food trucks for anyone that develops hunger or cravings. They are pet and child friendly; very welcoming overall. I enjoyed visiting once again.

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!
