    Ambiance: it's located in the industrial area, limited parking in the rear, and likely have to find the spot on the street, large patio outside, beach vibe near the bar station and cozy sofa upstairs inside Service: lack of patience and sort of rude, their menu seems out of dated, so be careful you'll be charged more than their listed prices Food & Drink: limited choices for food and drinks, I had one of their popular flights for SoCal Cider, and it's disappointing Flatbreads Carnivore - ** mozzarella, marinara sauce, salami, sopressata, peperoni, thin and flavorless Sliders Trio - * chicken, pork, and jackfruit, hawaiian buns, apple coleslaw, bog sauce, barely warm, meat was so dry, overall like reheated leftover Potato Salad - *** average "Wipeout" - ** high and extra dry apple 8% abv, very dry "Best Coast" - *** semi-sweet apple 5% abv, average "Piña SoCalada" - **** tart and tropical pineapple 5% abv, fruity, recommend "Orange Sunshine" - *** orange mimosa cider 5% abv, average "Life's a Peach" - *** semi-sweet peach, average "Sex Wax" - *** chocolate raspberry dessert cider, average Hazy IPA - *** glass beer, average Price: terrible food quality and mediocre drinks, not worth the cost of $30~$35 per person

    Loved the Wednesday Night Trivia. The hosts were so much fun, and the ciders were just as awesome - so many selections! There are indoor and outdoor seating and even an upstairs inside. The place is already decked out for Valentine's Day and had great decor! The staff is really friendly and was kind for giving us a free cider because our wings order wasn't put through right away, and we had to wait. We had the wings and pretzel bites. Pretzels were soft and came with two sauces. The wings had a sauce instead of a rub, which I wasn't too crazy about, but it came with fresh celery and carrot sticks.

    I would consider myself somewhat of a regular here, and I still consider this my favorite brewery despite this review. The drinks, and most food are 10/10. The service is mostly good but my friends and I have all had an issue with one specific server here. Over the last few months of regularly coming as a paying customer, I have noticed one worker (I assume the manger) who blatantly treats our group differently than every single customer. Even if we don't come as a group, and we come individually, she will still treat us the same. She will see us waiting to order and will walk around to chat to anyone at the bar ignoring us for minutes while she rushes to take other customers orders as soon as they step up. On my last visit, she walked away from the counter when I walked up and went to the kitchen where she proceeded to read a menu for several minutes. She never cleans our tables, she walks away as soon as she sets our drinks down and turns the iPad the other way without a word. Meanwhile I see her chatting to everyone else and giving great service. She takes table orders from other people and she never comes by to clean up our glasses. She has consistently served us drinks when the kegs are running out that not filled to the brim and extremely watered down. Her service absolutely sucks and I can see there are many other reviews about the same girl. I hope the management can do something about this as she greatly takes away from the experience.

    This spot is down the street from the Porsche Experience in Carson. So had to stop by after to check it out!! We went on a Saturday so plenty of street parking out front. Walked in and they have a nice large outdoor area street side. Lots of shade and some games to play! Walked inside and plenty of room at the bar as well as tables and chairs. Walked right up and was greeted by the bartender. We ordered the "Sex Wax" Chocolate & Raspberry Cider and their west coast IPA. Both were great tasting! Since we just ate didn't get to try the food but there's always room for dessert! So had to try their ice cream sliders!!! Let me tell you that I will now always eat a scoop of ice cream with a toasted Hawaiian roll! Try it!! Overall a big open space brewery, great vibes, super clean!

    Beautiful establishment, but really short staffed the day I went. The waiter/server was over worked and seemed frustrated. He seemed to be the only one working register and assisting inside and outside, he was the bartender as well. He handled himself as best as he could but the frustration was noticeable. The table we sat at needed to be cleaned, it was overlooked many times, we had to ask that it be cleaned. We ordered our food and it took quite some time to be brought out. Once we received it, it was cold to the touch. Once bringing it to the server's attention he was receptive but the hesitation was all over his face. I believe they just reheated and reserved because this time everything had the little burnt marks on the burger and tots. The burgers was really delicious, we got the cowboy burger with the mayo on the side and the tots. The onions and BBQ sauce in it was on point. We also got chips salsa and guac, the guac was really good, very flavorful. The burger came with chips, like a kettle chip. Not sure of the flavor but it was really good. We also got a honest Abe flight, it was cider. This was really my first time trying cider and I was pleasantly surprised how flavorful the drinks were. Overall we enjoyed ourselves and I do plan on going back to see how service is under different circumstances.

    I would consider it more "aloha vibes" but I suppose it's close enough. Nice spacious area with lots of seating. They have a good variety of beers, meads, even brandy so everyone can get something. Their flights are already preselected but you can choose your own tasters a la carte. We got a beer flight and tried out the passion fruit mead apple brandy. The mead I was more sparkly than I expected but still tasty. The apple brandy was sweet and the apple flavors came through. Very drinkable. Service was quick on Sunday around noon. I think they allow big parties and have spaces to rent so it seems they can get pretty crowded.

    First timer! Visited for a surprise wedding and the vibe was amazing along with the drinks! Would definitely come back for a chill night to unwind.

    Margarita and apple pie brandy
    Jae H.

    My second time here and I absolutely love this place. GREAT heads, great beers, great service. The staff is friendly and welcoming. The vibe feels like a family's backyard get together. I had to buy some of their apple pie brandy mead and my wife bought a bottle of their margarita. I absolutely cant wait to go back.

    Wings , Loaded Tots & a Brewski

    The name is fitting, place is a whole Vibe. Our office is maybe 5 minutes from here and somehow,someway i never came across it. I was staying at the Hampton down the street and was looking up local places and this place came up. I'm glad that it did. Service was A1. Wings were legit. The beer was beering for sure lol. And i loved that they had plenty of TVs if you want to catch the games. I wanted to watch MNF and the ALCS and i got both. I love wwe and i brought my iPad to watch that but they had even offered to put it on a TV for me which was very generous. You can put a price on service and this place had plenty. Will def be back.

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.
