So Cal Vibes sums it up. It's a cool little oasis in the middle of the city. Great day for dining outside with the "palapas", surf boards, music and ocean breeze. Great selection of meads, ciders and beers. Opted for a blueberry mead and a pomegranate cider. They have tasters and flights of their beers, meads, ciders and cocktails. Great selection of various sandwiches, wraps and bowls. I appreciate the great job Emerson did educating me on the meads and ciders as well as his thoughts on the various food items that are available. We had the pulled pork, a tuna melt and a chicken wrap at our table, all of which were delicious. If you are in need of a location for a holiday party, they can accommodate up to 200 people. Buon Appetito read more

Staff is great, beers are great, food is GREAT! We come here often and love it every time!

I had the peach cider. I was okay. Nothing to write home about. Food wasn't great. Tasted like reheated frozen food and was served hot (warm). The live band was loud for the small space. Good customer service. read more

We love coming here with the kids since there is great space for them to play around. I have never been a huge mead fan, but this place got me trying it. Strongly recommend the cactus cooler and lychee. They also have a pretty decent kitchen considering that they are more of a brewery than anything else. Parking is located in the back which makes it easy to bring all the baby junk. Definitely a great recommendation for parents looking to chill, grab a bite while the kids play around. read more

Had a birthday event there this past weekend and it was AWESOME!!!Everyone had a great time! The crew were attentive and helpful esp. Angie! Thank you SoCal for making my husband bday memorable read more

Woooow! I'm actually kinda blown away. This spot was more than I expected. Not an actual beer brewery, but they specialize in ciders and Mead, but do offer small selection of beers that are not made on the premises. My first time trying mead. And baaaby! It's good. I really liked the blueberry and cactus cooler mead. It's an in between of beer and cider with a higher alcohol content, 8%. Started with bartender Johnny and ended with Angie, both were hella cool and great with making suggestions. The music playlist. Fire. I also tried the cherry liquor situation and I am in love with it. It's like a smooth brandy perfect hint of sweetness. The outside patio is super cute and spacious with a few outdoor games. Upstairs is a whole ass vibe, lounge like with outlets (ask for the wifi). I definitely will be making this spot my after work work place. Oh. Plenty of free on street and back lot parking. Clean cute bathroom. read more

Easy five stars. Super great space- tons of fun outdoor games, fire pits, and string lighting. Inside, there's a fun upstairs area to people watch or get more privacy. So many cider options, as well as beer and wine. Generous pours- the glass was almost completely full. Got a cider that was fairly sweet. Wish I had tried the champagne one or the pomegranate one but was still super good. Hopping on a Friday night but by no means was it too crowded. Bartenders served us within just a few min of arriving. read more

Socal Vibes - I love their cider flights - Breweries Near Me - Carson, California

Honestly super sad about the treatment from the manager/owner. We got "scolded" for moving some heaters AFTER we asked for permission from the bartender. Said it was disrespectful that we moved them to make ourselves more comfortable in their restaurant....We were polite and apologized and she just kept at it and wouldn't stop scolding us. We were a large respectful party who all were actually visiting from SOCAL. Ironic how this place is nothing like the carefree kind vibes that actually is Southern California. Manager needs to learn some overall just communication skills and get off her power trip. We all work in restaurants and are familiar with how people should be treated. 10/10 don't recommend this place and super sad with how we were treated. Do better. read more

The meads and appetizers are amazing! I absolutely love coming here to unwind and have a few tastings. Nice spot to meet up with someone for the first time and hangout. Service is amazing. read more

Thank you SoCalVibes. Your staff was great to work with and your facility provided a great venue for us to host our going away party for one of our colleagues. Everyone loved the food and drinks and we all had a great time. We will definitely be back. Keep the great "Vibes" going... read more

Go for the beer and cider. Food is a 3.5 I got the Tuna and was pretty dry with coleslaw and I didn't really see the cheese for it being a melt. Bread was still soft not toasted. Or it didn't seem toasted like it should be for a "melt". Tater tots were very salty. I hear the burger is the way to go. Maybe next time. read more

This place is my jam! Cider is better than beer! I love the atmosphere here inside and out. The pretzel bites are freakin amazing. Aleese and Alyssa are so sweet and personable. My only complaint is I wish there were more locations! read more

I yelped for breweries and this place popped up in the area where I was. It is a small place in the middle of other buildings. The parking is in the rear and the seating is outside at the front of the restaurant It is easier to come with a person or a coat so you can hold your spot at the tables to signify that you are sitting there. It is a 1st come 1st serve basis. Try to choose your seat and then stand in line to order. If its not crowded, order first then choose your seat. When I went up for a third round, I lost my seat because i was by myself and couldnt hold it and stand in line with people coming in :( I still enjoyed my time there I ordered pretzel bites, taco trio, the West Coast IPA and the watermelon Habanero cider. Each item was good in its own way and I enjoyed the flavours used. The tacos are smaller than average but good I would go back with friends and a thicker coat. Since it is outside, the wind can get chilly. I did not see any space heaters. Last but not least when you give your number, you can earn points toward a discount on future visits read more

Location Convenient location in Carson. Just a few blocks off the freeway. Parking Plenty of wine de spaced parking. Atmosphere Chill-really positive vibe on the courtyard with heaters-a variety of seats including 2 couches Service Friendly and knowledgeable about the brews and food. Thorough with explaining the menu when we asked. Food and beverage We had the pulled pork nachos, pineapple cider, and an ipa. The nachos were really good-tons of pork, guac on the side, nice chips. The pineapple cider was super-large 12-16 oz pour. My husband loved the ipa-similar pour. Others had samples and two guests raved about the pomegranate cider. Summary Chill local brew hall with great food and wide variety of beers and ciders. Can't wait to return! read more

Dog dad and I made a pit stop for date night, and Socal Vibes is just the place for a laid-back environment that promises a good time. Dog dad describes the playlist as his "2016 vibes" (he looked up one of the songs, which was from 2021, so take his alcohol-induced judgement with a grain of salt, but Rihanna's S&M was definitely from 2010 lol). We got a mead flight to share (6 total--we did 4 meads and 2 ciders, because the awesome staff let you do substitutions). We opted to keep our tab open, since we planned to pick-up a few to take home. Our favorites, with 1 being the crème de la crème and 6 being the one we will substitute for something else next time--I prefer fruit drinks and dog dad usually goes for stouts and porters: 1) Cactus Kooler 2) Bombegrante (dog dad's #3) 3) Lychee (dog dad's #2) 4) Limoncello 5) "Fall Harvest" aka organic maple 6) Limited Special - "End of the Halloween Candy" aka chocolate We took our flight to the cute little bar outside with rotating bar stools--strategically located by a fire pit for warmth, and found the music to be the perfect level (you can still chat without shouting). The crowd here is really nice, and there is ample seating, both inside and outside. Parking is conveniently located behind the building, and there was no LA scramble to snatch a spot. Definitely on our list of favorites for hanging out and bringing out of town friends! read more

This is my new favorite event space ! Last month we threw a party for about 50 people for my husbands 50th birthday and it was AMAZING. The staff made the process soooo easy, they were so attentive and we had open bar tab for HOURS with a very reasonable bill ( our friends and family can drink too ) we were able to bring our own DJ and it made the vibe so special Most breweries don't have a private area for parties but I love that this place does The drinks and the food they served were a HIT . If you think about all the money and time one could spend for a special event at home , doing it here was the way to go The variety of meads and ciders were pretty impressive and probably the most diverse I've ever had at a brewery. I have visited here on other days to just chill with my husband and I'm always trying something new . read more

Just recently had my 30th birthday celebration here and it was awesome! We had the whole 2nd floor area to ourselves which fit at least 35 people very comfortably. The music was great, the food was delicious, and Angie made the whole night run smoothly for us. I'm so glad we found this gem! Brett who helped us book the place was very clear with details and next steps. They responded quickly to any and all questions we had. The cook was also very kind and made all the food to perfection! Will gladly be back for any events and their happy hour! read more

We an incredible experience at this brewery for our private holiday event! The staff went above and beyond to make our celebration memorable. The venue was festive, the beer selection impressive, and the service outstanding. Highly recommend for any special occasion! Aerin's communication was superb and the staff kept checking in and refilling the food trays as there were many of us. Thanks again to everyone at So Cal for making sure we had a wonderful time! read more

I would definitely recommend this place!! We recently moved from little Tokyo and were looking for a place that offered a flight of original beers - something similar to arts district or Angel city breweries. Happy to report we found it! This is such a fun venue with tiki vibes and a cider flight of your dreams! My absolute favorite drinks were the lychee mead and the cactus kooler. We chose to sit at the bar, and the bartender Ralph helped us choose our flight. There's 2 cider flights, a mead flight and a cocktail flight. Ralph, the bartender helped us pick our poison. We went with the more 'adventurous' flight that had flavors like "bombergranate", "watermelon habanero", and "chai pumpkin spice" - all the different descriptions were really highlighted in the flavours. We had such a great time, there's something for everyone! There's an outdoor area with corn hole games, heaters and tiki tables. And an indoor area with tvs that show sports games. read more

We reserved a portion of the mezzanine area at Socal Vibes to host a holiday party with friends and the experience was great! The space had a feel like hanging out a home with our friends, plenty of room and seating space (including couches!) for 15 guests. With a reasonable deposit we were able to reserve the space and have a great time. This was actually our third year in a row hosting our holiday party there and can't wait to do it again next year! Staff was very helpful and accommodating. read more

I had my graduation get together here and I was not disappointed! The service was outstanding, the food was delicious ( thank you chef! ). The staff were very accommodating, helpful and really nice! We had a 5pm reservation and glad we did because there were two more grad parties after mine and it was so busy! We got the calm before the storm. Overall very happy with my choice and everyone couldn't stop raving about how chill the "vibes" were how and good the food was . Thank you to all the staff and cooks you made my special day stress free and everyone had a blast! Definitely booking here again. read more

Checked out SoCal Vibes after receiving a complimentary flight from a nice guy who did Honest Abe Cider tastings @ Total Wine. Boyfriend and I were impressed by their selection and were excited to see what they had to offer. Apparently all of their ciders/meads are brewed in house which is pretty neat. You order your food and drinks at the bar, then grab them once they're ready. I have to say, I was a little nervous about carrying a whole flight to my table. Can't imagine doing that if I was tipsy LOL. We tried the Honest Abe Cider and Mead flights. Both definitely had some interesting and unique flavors. Some we loved, some we didn't. Their lychee and cactus cooler meads were delicious! As for food, we didn't really expect much from it. Everything was OK, but did the job when we needed something to snack on while drinking... We ordered the poke nachos, buffalo wings, and pretzel bites. Quality was like something you would just throw together in the kitchen after a long night out. Real down to earth type of stuff. Although the pretzel bites were kind of hard, I really liked their house beer cheese dipping sauce! Overall, SoCal Vibes is a great spot to chill. I'd say they're going for laid back island vibes based off of the decor. They have a number of different games to keep you entertained, and staff is friendly! Boyfriend and I both agreed we'd be back! read more

So good! Fun patio outside with game boards. Cool little upstairs tiki loft. We came on a Monday and they were having a free comedy show. Food was so good, we got a tuna melt, pork sliders and pork tacos. The tacos were good but just missing a little something. But the sliders and tuna melt wow I could have had 3 of those melts!!! Home made BBQ chips and some cider flights. What more could you ask for? read more

We did an event with 23 people on a Monday for lunch and staff was extremely accommodating. We were able to do a presentation with their TV and people ate and had amazing beers while enjoying the presentation. If you have a large group give them a shot. Total price for event was a good value. The parking in the back could have been easier for the guests because the available spots were a bit confusing on what's acceptable to park at if you haven't been there. read more

Super busy Saturday! Brent is awesome helping out the ladies!! Always a great time at So Cal Vibes!!

Great Drinks not so great food. Ive only tried the Ciders and Meads and they are great. The lychee mead is amazing. The currently have a a spicy mango cider which is also pretty tasty. Tried a pulled pork taco and a shrimp taco.... approximately 2.00 each for taco Tuesday, 4.00 regular price. Tacos were very small, cold and blands. The guy at the bar was definitely not the friendliest... my friend asked a legitimate question and got a sarcastic answer..rude. Use to go here when it was honest abes and continued to so once it expanded to what it is now but this was my first time back since the pandemic and was disappointed. I will just purchase cans to go next time. read more

Hosted a baby shower here and it was everything I could have hoped for (minus the hot weather and flies - both out of their control). After some terrible drama, I ended up desperately searching for a venue to throw my baby shower. Reached out to a few places who all had wedding prices and connected with Aerin at SoCal Vibes, whose friendly/welcoming help and timely responses led me to committing with them before I ever even visited the place. Working with Aerin was the reason my baby shower was able to come together. She's quick to respond, helpful, never made me feel like a bother, and helped me cross my t's and dot my i's. I was stressed at how not stressed I was leading up to our event. So many of our friends and family asked us how we heard about SoCal Vibes because they enjoyed the space, the beers, the food, etc. The outdoor patio where we held the event has ample seating and a great vibe. We heard there's great lounge-y upstairs inside but never made our way to check it out. For events, they have two food options and we opted for the higher option which didn't break the bank and was plentiful and delicious (we heard, we never got a chance to eat). The spread was great and their team was fantastic. Paul handled all the food for us and kept me updated, communicated with me throughout the event, was thoughtful about certain things I mentioned, and because of him, I didn't worry about the food once. The staff was even kind enough to let us move the food indoors when the flies became too much. I think her name was Elise but she was at the bar and was also incredibly kind and helpful and Matt at the bar was also great! I could not recommend this place enough for events or to meet with some friends! It's definitely a beach/luau vibe so very casual but able to hold a good amount of people and their staff goes out of their way to make it seamless so you can have a good time. Thank you to Aerin, Paul, Matt, Elise, and the entire SoCal Vibes crew for hosting and welcoming us! I can't wait to not be pregnant so I can finally try their beers and ciders that everyone was raving about. read more

Working at BevMo I've seen these cans before in our store but never bought them until my girlfriend wanted to stop by the Venice location on a whim. Absolutely mind blowing, the Sex Wax (choc raspberry) was almost like sweet forbidden fruit in alcoholic form. Would recommend stopping by the upstairs area with friends and staying for hours. You are gonna want to keep the tab open. read more

This brewery has a great selection of beers and food. It also has an upstairs mezzanine, where we hosted a birthday gathering for about 25-30 people, and an outdoors area with tables and lawn games. Whether it's a small group of coworkers after work or a larger gathering of friends for a celebratory occasion, this brewery is the perfect space for socializing. I cannot say enough about the team there as well - Aerin made the booking process very easy, and Angie was super friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. Big shout-out to Matt as well who took a group photo and even went back downstairs to get a box to stand on so we could get a better angle/shot. The best word I can describe the venue, team, and overall vibes is professionally chill (and that is to be interpreted in the most complimentary way possible). We had a wonderful time and will definitely be going back there again! read more
