    Bunny with a chainsaw IPA. GREAT
    Graciela C.

    I recently discovered Bunny with a chainsaw at my local pub and immediately became obsessed. It is one of the best Hazy IPAs from the area so we decided to visit the brewery. The brewery is awesome and laid back. There's a food truck in front where you can buy burgers fries and other good eats. I tried a bunch of different brews but ultimately the bunny w a chain saw is still the best for me. Definitely recommend the beer flight (5) to try more options. Great place to hang out with friends or a date. Parking on the street was easy.

    Outside shot. They did have an outdoor sitting area but doesn't check it out this time.

    They didn't serve food but they did have a food truck outside. That'll be a separate review. Bartender was awesome. I asked for a stout beer and he gave a good recommendation. The stout was flavorful. The second one I got was a good flavor IPA. The sitting area and the brewery in itself was pretty chill. Decor was great.

    Chill place to have a tasty brew

    Nice relaxing brewery. Many brews, mostly IPA/hazy, the Baby Bunny with a Chainsaw is a very nice New England IPA, and The Surrealist is a tasty Belgian golden sort of like Duvel without the frothy head. They gave me a sample without asking, nice service. Lots of goofy labels on their beers, reminiscent of comic books and pulp fiction. Burger truck outside, kid friendly, almost a family joint.

    We had an awesome time at Paperback! The staff here was so helpful and took great care of our large group. Tons of selection and the bartenders made great recommendations. Awesome vibes inside and out. I suggest the beer garden if you have a large party or want a quieter area to hang out. Will definitely be back soon! Thank you Joe and team!

    My husband & I really enjoyed spending our Saturday afternoon here. He had a cider and I had the seltzer on tap. Both were really nice. The food truck outside was tasty. The bathrooms were clean. The service was quick. Overall, we just really enjoyed the atmosphere.

    Our Go-To Spot - Paperback Brewing We're regulars at Paperback Brewing for a reason. The vibe is laid-back and fun, and the artwork on the cans is just as impressive as the beer itself. Plus--it's dog friendly! Always a bonus when we can bring our pup along. Great beer, great people, and a chill space we keep coming back to. Highly recommend!

    Interior seating area, building used to be an airplane hanger!

    We always have fun at paperback, it's a laid-back neighborhood type vibe that is unpretentious and friendly. I love sitting in the old airplane hanger and seeing the brewing vats in the background and enjoying the cold treats that came out of them. If you want food there's usually a food truck out front. The service can be slow if they're busy, but the servers are always friendly and helpful.

    This spot has good beer and good service! Just stumbled on this new spot and will definitely will be coming back! Great vibes

    Paperback beers have fun names and intricate comic art on their cans, and the ones we've had have all been great. They have comic-illustrated "library cards" so you can keep track of what you've tried. You can also buy cans to take home. The inside area is usually packed. There are picnic tables outside, some with umbrellas. Even at the busiest times, there's always a spot somewhere. The best part of Paperback is their partnership with Bun & Blanket smash burger truck. It's a permanent fixture outside the brewery, so you can get your fix every time you come. The best smash burgers I've ever had. To be noted: they do allow children and there are always families there. Also, parking is difficult to find in the area.

    Openers: Catchy beer names, vending machines with Bunny+ chainsaw stickers*, super fab seating, dogs allowed indoors, and a food truck that has great munchies. (*bring your own quarters!) Bookended on my trip to New Zealand, we stayed right around the bend from PB and stopped here twice. There are many, many places to have a beer in LA, but why mess with a good thing? Lots of rotating beer selections of all types, and a wicked cool atmosphere. You feel like you are in a "thing" without needing to be a local to fit in.

    Ask the Community - Paperback Brewing

    Do they always have food, or is it only available during special events?

    The Bun and Blanket food truck is at Paperback daily: Monday-Friday: 4:30-9 PM… Read more

    Do they also have liquor at this place?

    No just beer

    Are dogs permitted in the "indoor" area or only in patio?

    On my last visit in July, there was a dog sitting just inside the building. He was a very well behaved dog. You have to confirm with management though. I don't know the actual animal policy.

    Is happy hour available? If so, what are the days/time?

    Is this one Kid friendly?

    It can be good for kids during the day.

    Can you bring outside drinks to paperback? My bf loves beer but I can't drink it or sugary ciders; still we want to come

    They were so lay back and fun people, so don't think it would be a problem

    Does Paperback serve wine as well? (asking for a friend)

    No they don't serve wine

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.

    Great little beer spot in old town Pasadena…read more We arrived around 6pm on a Saturday and the place was packed, but we were able to find 2 seats at a communal picnic table inside. Small joint but they have a few bar seats and picnic tables inside and a nice outdoor patio with more seating. They don't offer food but usually have a food truck outside. We ordered a flight of beer to try a few different styles. The guy behind the bar was great and the beers were tasty.

For example, they have a Spanish Language Brewery Meet-up every 3rd Thursday from 7:30-9:30pm monthly. Parking is street only so be mindful of the neighbors. There is no food service at this location but they seem to partner with a couple food trucks serving tacos. Some inside open air seating but the main draw is the relaxing patio. I liked their hard seltzers with fun flavors as jicama, tamarindo and passionfruit. I didn't like so much their signature Yerba Mate Pale Ale, but thought it was an interesting concept. The happy hour special is Monday all day and Tuesday-Friday open until 6pm $2 off full pours. Very family friendly, I always see a couple tables with children and dogs at them. Maybe I'm getting to be an old fuddy duddy but I hate when parents let their kids go free range. Screaming and running around like the establishment is a park these kids becoming trip hazards. There needs to be a revamp of their board game collection. There three boxes of games that looked incomplete or used up, not good with such games as Scrabble and Pictionary. Free Wifi with log-in is a bonus!

There are plenty of TV's and a variety of seating area options with both high chairs and low comfy couches and fun little corners with heaters to hang out in. There's a nice selection of English and Spanish 80s and 90s music playing in the background and a fantastic relaxed vibe with a great selection of vintage decor and memorabilia all over the hangar building. We sat in the small upstairs area with cozy seating, a large TV and a balcony view of everything and everyone below, including views of the back area with the beertanks. The second level is stairs access only. They are both kid and pet friendly throughout the entire space. There's a small patio area with access only through the front and located to the side of the hangar (i didn't see any heaters tho). There are 3 co-ed restrooms which are only located on the bottom floor near the entrance. I'm not sure if parking gets difficult, but we got lucky with street parking right in front. Something to point out... Although we stayed for an entire football game, we didn't really encounter too many employees during our visit (so not sure if they were short staffed or they don't really go upstairs). We didn't feel comfortable leaving our glasses and trash from the foodtruck and with consideration to others, we bussed our own table/space before leaving. The only interaction with staff was when ordering the beer at the front counter and they were polite. Something to keep in mind... dress warm or according to the weather. The building is an open hangar and although they have space heaters throughout, it got a bit cold when we were there (January)... they eventually closed part of the entrance door, so i guess they felt it too lol! I'm sure it's the opposite during summer, so I guess I'll find out then. Overall, visually pleasing, great use of space and vintage decor, cozy and relaxed vibes. I'll definitely visit again and will be adding to the list of favorites. Fun times!
