They're delicious and full of flavor. Add that to their amazing staff who knows everything there is to know about beers and you can't go wrong. Pair a good beer with a food truck like Felice Italian Catering and it's a match made in heaven! That pizza of theirs. . . yum! They also have a newly opened location in Echo Park and another location in Anaheim if you can't get to this one. If you haven't tried this place, you have to! It's my favorite local brewery and I'm sure it'll be yours too. Don't forget to grab some beers to take home. Come one, come all! Cheers!

They have a food truck there, not sure if it's different every time but it's a cool little add on since monkish doesn't serve actually food inside- just beer. Their beers are really good as well I did try a pina colada seltzer and it got the job done haha but it was also pretty good. Perfect for a date, or to chill with friends! The outside area is quite spacious but I can see how it can get busy and crowded on busy nights.

Boyyy did we finally find our spot!! Reminds me of those awesome family-owned neighborhood bars back in Champaign-Urbana (yes, Illinos but we're Angelenos)...the kind you don't really plan for, but end up talking about later. We've been here twice now and honestly? We love it! First time, there was live music, open mic night. Just people showing up, putting their heart out there. No pretentious vibe, just good energy. Second time, there was line dancing. And if you bought one of the drinks you got a raffle ticket for free classes. Completely different night, same welcoming feel. How cool is that?!! The thing about this place is that it shifts, but sort of still feels like home. The first night it was raining, and they let us bring in our 3-month-old poodle, Kopi, without hesitation. Not only that! they offered him a blanket!!! A blanket!!! For our dog!!! Yeah...that told me everything. They kept checking in on us, making sure we were taken care of, recommending drinks like we were regulars. And there were clearly many regulars there. Drinks were solid...good cider, good beer, good mixed drinks. And the food? Omg! The food!!! Honestly fucking underrated (can I curse?). Way better than you'd expect from a bar, though to be fair some of the best food I've had has been from a bar's kitchen.. You know.... the kind of food where you take a bite...and your eyebrow rises just a tad...you pause and are like....okay wait, this is really freaking good! Nothing about this place is trying too hard and that's exactly why it works. It's just people, music, drinks, awesome food....and a space that feels lived in. We'll definitely be back.

I decided to celebrate my birthday there, and I truly didn't expect the kind of experience I ended up having. From the moment we walked in, the owners personally welcomed us. The place was completely packed, not a single table was empty, yet somehow everything ran so smoothly. Our drinks and food came out quickly, hot, and absolutely delicious. Honestly, it was by far the best burger and Philly cheesesteak we've ever had. What really stood out to me was how present and attentive the owners were. They were on top of everything while still being kind, warm, and genuinely friendly.The whole place had such a welcoming, family-like atmosphere. That night they had a live country band, and it made everything even more special. It was lively and full of joy. Even though there wasn't much space or a dance floor, people still got up and danced; including myself! Seeing the smiles and happiness on everyone's faces felt like watching a big family celebration. It was such a beautiful sense of community. To top it all off, the band ended the night by singing "Happy Birthday" to me. I felt so celebrated and honestly a little spoiled in the best way. If you're just looking for "food," you can go anywhere. But if you want high-quality, flavorful food, outstanding service, and a place where you truly feel at home -- this is it. Highly, highly recommend!

I personally was hoping they would have some food options or at least some non-alcoholic beverages other than cans of Coke and Fanta. The outdoor had one food truck and one bbq truck / stand. By the time we arrived in the evening around 5:30... the bbq truck was packing up and leaving so the only food option was the food truck. It was a Mediterranean food truck with French fries and shawarmas ... our party had about 7 kids and ... our experience there was pretty not kid friendly. There were barely anything for them to eat or drink other than French fries. Was hoping they had more options and choices for families. It was still a fun experience for us to hang out but .... If we came again we would need to bring our own food and snacks for the kids.

I especially like their breakfast burritos and have had good experiences here before. Unfortunately, this visit didn't quite go as planned. I ordered the ham and sausage burrito, which costs extra as a two-meat option, but when I got home it only had ham and no sausage. The burrito itself still tasted good, so this felt more like an order mistake than a quality issue. One thing to note is they charge a fee for credit card purchases, so cash might save you a little if you come often. Overall, still a solid local spot for a quick bite, especially breakfast, and I'll probably still come back.

Birria at Brews Hall!…read more Brews Hall is currently celebrating the month of Birria this May and they're offering a line of different Birria dishes and drink specials. Among the specials are Birria nachos, Birria quesadilla, Birria pizza and Birria burrito. I got to the Birria nachos recently and was quite impressed with the quality and large size. For $14.95, we got a humongous portion of crisp tortilla chips piled with pico de gallo, jalapeño, cilantro, and tender Birria drizzled with lots of queso and lime cilantro creams. Off to the side was a generous side of guacamole. It was more than enough for sharing. It was loaded, cheesy, crunchy and packed with flavor. It was absolutecomfort food/happy hour perfection. Brews Hall is always a hit and happy to be able to partake in their delicious month of birria celebration!
