This is an awesome spot! I rented the place for a welcome dinner to my wedding and it worked perfectly! The food was great, the drinks were flowing and they were happy to accommodate my decorations/music. We were below our minimum end of night and they even let us take bottles to go to meet the agreement! read more

Come here every taco Tuesday!! Love their beef tacos and spicy tater tots, but tbh everything is great!! Staff are incredibly kind! A worth it stop! read more

SoCal Vibes is exactly what the name promises...a laid-back, surfy, beach-inspired taco spot right on Abbot Kinney. It's another place where you order at the counter, grab your table number, and let the food find you. The tacos are solid (not life changing but satisfying) and they offer a decent variety. The happy hour is a nice perk too especially on a street not exactly known for bargains!! In my experience, the service was fine, nothing special, but the staff is quick and the food comes out relatively fast. The atmosphere is really what I loved about this place. Indoors, there's the casual coastal aesthetic while outside there's a surprisingly spacious back patio that feels like a little Venice hideaway. On a warm evening, it's the perfect place to sit with friends and enjoy a simple taco night. I distinctly remember a lovely gas fire pit!!! So, all in all, SoCal Vibes is a reliable and convenient AK option for a chill meal with that SoCal vibe. read more

Pretty cool spot. Has a great selection of ciders and food although I wish the food came in bigger portions. I got the PB cider which I would've never gotten if I didn't try a sample. It didn't have a such an overpowering PB flavor. It was still refreshing. We got the beef and fish taco. We enjoyed the beef taco more. The fish taco was pretty bland. We came around lunch time on a Saturday and there was still seating available when we got there but once we sat down we noticed a line of people starting g to come in. There is a really chill backyard area with sofas and seating. Surprisingly wasn't packed. Service was pretty helpful in recommending what to get. It's def a cool spot to stop by if you're in the area. Parking is street parking unfortunately but plenty of spots to check out so it makes it worth it. read more

We popped in here for the first time more recently to grab drinks with a couple of friends and wanted to try the ciders here since many are advertised as gluten-free (which my boyfriend and I are), so we were excited. We've driven by the place many times and it always appeared small, but it was even smaller inside than we realized. It was fine, and cute and the vibes were as to be expected for what the place represents but it was honestly a little crammed and the seating was a bit uncomfortable. The service was pretty good (it wasn't very crowded that night) but they were accommodating and answered any questions/ food concerns. We got some fries and ordered the "SoCal Vibes Ciders" which was basically about 6 different unique ciders served on a tray. This much I'll say; we'd definitely come back for these ciders. Especially the "sex wax" which was a unique chocolate and raspberry flavor. So good, just unexpectedly good. All in all, I would come back, I just wouldn't necessarily come on a weekend so there would be room to walk/sit but maybe that's just my preferred vibe ;) read more

Cute bar with cute santa monica vibes. Known for ciders and such, but we ended up getting mead and a beer which was surprisingly good. Super small selection I think for those, but again, known for ciders and they have a wide variety here. A lot of people got flights, so I think we'll try that next time if we come. A lot of people also ordered food but we skipped on that. I think if you're going for the vibes, definitely a cool place to chill at since they have a back patio too. read more

Super chill spot with I door bar and table seating as well as a cool lounging area out back. Looks like ciders are their specialty, but the hazy I had was a solid sipper. The 90291 burger was on point, and the chips and salsa were a vibe. Simple menu done right. Solid drinks. Good service. Great spot for a low key dip in. read more

The vibes are pretty nice as it's one of the few places that serves food on the west side of Abbot Kinney. It has an outdoor patio and is mostly well known for their alcoholic beverages. The service is good but I did go in the morning when it is pretty slow. I had the breakfast burrito and it was okay. I felt like I ate a glob of hot cheese wrapped in a tortilla. I would skip that maybe the other foods are better. read more

First time here, this place is a gem. The decor was beach style feel and ambiance was relaxing with nice music playing on the background. The best part were the fish tacos. You must try them! Hanna provided us great customer service and thanks to the cook. We will be coming back for those fish tacos... read more

Fantastic place, the "vibes" are definitely great in this place. They have a ridiculous amount of details from the paper umbrellas on the ceilings to the surface magazines wallpaper in bathroom. The bartenders were super nice and helpful with picking out drinks. The food is way better then you would think it would be for a brewery. Girlfriend got 2 fish tacos she that were great and she doesn't like fish tacos but decided to be brave haha. I had the bacon jam burger and damn that thing was good. We had a debate of how to eat a burger and against my judgment eat this one top side up. This savory sweet mixture was perfect. This is a great stop when walking Abbot and Kinney. Ill be back soon. read more

I'm in love with a cider... and I found it at SoCal Vibes. I also found a cool vibe here too. The Mexican lollipop (I.e. spicy habanero watermelon) was SUCH a highlight and a treat. Hot damn! Loved it for sure. We also tried the mead based cider which was also delicious, much higher ABV for disclosure. I also enjoyed the cholada cider. Not as sweet or potent as the lollipop but still enjoyable. More mellow cider. I feel like you can't go wrong here. We didn't eat but the fries looked so good (& reportedly were per neighbor). The men helming the bar were a cool group of dudes. They gave us tastings prior to selecting, were warm and answered our questions regarding the brand and origin story. We also sampled their brandy which was likewise, knock your socks off tasty and I've never enjoyed brandy. The store has such neat interior decor that feels vibrant. It's well planned out but there's also an open air window to sit at or outdoor seating in the front and back. Plenty of space to find your preferred section. We felt welcome here and we will certainly return! read more

Discovered their cider from a random campsite bar and had to make the drive to come in person. My wife doesn't drink most kinds of beer or alcohol but loves cider and fell in love with SoCal Vibes. I'm not the biggest fan of cider but also fell in love with the flavors. Our favorites are the Sex Wax and the Lychee Mead. But you really can't go wrong with any of their ciders. And you can grab a growler or a 4 pack to go. Additionally, they have housemade brandy, which manages to still be delightfully decadent while being high in ABV. Come here for Taco Tuesday. They have great fish tacos, and they're 50% off all day long. read more

SoCal Vibes Co. - Cider Flight - New American Near Me - Los Angeles, California

My favorite place to grab a cider!! The best locally brewed ciders I have found thus far in Los Angeles. Their ciders are incredible - the best flavors. Had to try their two flights so we could sample all their current ciders. Not a single bad one in the bunch! The Honest Abe ones have a higher ABV on average with some delicious mead options - their Lychee mead was probably my favorite of the five. However, the SoCal Vibes had my big winners. The Sex Wax is 100% the way to go - it's a richer cider as it's a chocolate raspberry flavor, but it is absolutely delicious. The Life's a Peach and Piña SoCalada were two other favorites. Great food options, too. Their tacos are our favorite thing on the menu - their fish taco is fresh, flaky, and oh so tasty. Take advantage of their Taco Tuesday - 50% off tacos all day! Good prices for a glass - about $8 for a cider and $10.75 for mead. They offer some ciders in cans for to-go or you can purchase a growler. It's not the traditional growler as it's a 32oz bottle, but still perfect for bringing home your favorite cider not available in cans. Such a laid-back vibe. Love sitting outside around the fire pit. Perfect venue for catching up with friends or a date night. Definitely recommend checking them out!! read more

I thought this was the cutest spot. (And there's swing seats in the back!) Decor aside, this place has a very cool vibe. Food: Came in with my mind made-up that I was having a spicy chicken sandwich and then quickly changed to something lighter as I was meeting up with friends in a few hours for dinner. That said, ended up settling on the Chicken Quesadilla with french fries and a spicy cider. Quesadilla was smaller than I envisioned but perfect for what I needed. The chicken was fried then placed inside the quesadilla. It's about the size of 2-3 mini street tacos. Flavor was good, not too crunchy where you couldn't enjoy it, but crunchy enough where it held its texture. I appreciated it came with spinach inside (as well cheese) and the pico de gallo was in the side! read more

Came here on a Friday afternoon to dip my toe into the SoCal aesthetic and maybe justify wearing sunglasses indoors. Grabbed a blonde beer (because hydration, but make it adult) and the Abbot salad with crispy chicken--which, thankfully, was actually crispy and not some sad soggy afterthought. The salad itself was surprisingly tasty, like someone in the kitchen genuinely cared about balance and flavor, which is rare in a place that could easily coast on vibes alone. Speaking of vibes--prime Abbot Kinney location means an endless parade of stylish humans walking dogs that probably have better skincare routines than I do. Great for people-watching while you pretend you're not eavesdropping on crypto bros and influencer pitch meetings. Service was friendly and chill, like the staff knew you might be a little sun-drunk and indecisive but didn't judge you for it. Would definitely come back, especially if I'm in the mood to eat well while silently critiquing streetwear. read more

Great neighborhood spot! Love their tacos and on Tuesday they are on the special taco Tuesday price. They are so yummy and filling. I usually get 2 and I am happy or once in a while 3 if I'm super hungry. Lots of interesting beers as well. I'm not a beer drinker but my bf has tried several here and really liked them. Service is always friendly and it's dog friendly so that's always another plus for me :) read more

SoCal Vibes in Venice is such a great spot--our first time trying it! We only had the beer, but the food looked amazing. They have seating both outside and inside.

Disappointing experience -- wouldn't return. I came with three friends, and we all paid separately. I was the only one who wasn't given a receipt, and later I noticed a tip had been added to my total that I don't recall entering. Since it was processed electronically, there's no way for me to verify what was submitted. It felt dishonest and left a bad impression. I intended to bring it up before leaving, but the bartender wasn't at the bar -- possibly in the back -- and I was already frustrated and didn't want to hold up the rest of the evening. I also ordered a brandy with LaCroix, which was the only mixer available. Instead of preparing the drink, the bartender handed me a shot and a can. The apple brandy itself tasted more like juice -- overly sweet and not worth the price. If you choose to go, I'd recommend asking for your receipt and checking your charges before leaving. read more

We randomly walked into this bar on Abbot Kinney and it was so cute with creative and tasty drinks! Love the fun coastal vibes!

Wow I was so impressed by this brewery. They have mainly ciders with a couple meads and beers. Also have a full kitchen with food menu. I had the lychee mead, blueberry mead, pineapple cider, and peach cider. My favorite was definitely the lychee mead!!! Everything else was solid can't go wrong. They offer flights so you can try out a lot of drinks! I really liked the aesthetic of the brewery and there's a nice outside area with a couple fire pits too. It is small but on a Friday night it never got overly crowded. They had a DJ playing mainly house/techno style music that added to the atmosphere. Service was good and attentive. I definitely would come back here especially as the weather gets warmer to enjoy the outside patio. read more

I was looking for a place that served mead and was excited to see that SoCal Vibes had flavored mead and cider on tap. In Abbot Kinney you need to find street parking and we were able to find parking pretty quick. The whole place was decorated for Valentine's Day and had a cool vibe. There are indoor and outdoor seating, you order food and drinks at the bar and chose your own seat or find a spot at the bar. The drinks came out pretty quick. We started with glasses of blueberry mead which is one of the tastiest drinks I have ever had. Then we split the feta, mustard aioli, arugula burger and the loaded tots with the cherry brandy braised beef. If you are hungry you might need 1-2 items because they are not huge portions but very tasty. After the food I wanted to try a cider and got the "love potion" which was a cherry vanilla cider. That cider was out of this world and I really hope it isn't just seasonal and stays on the menu. The prices are very reasonable, about $8 for the glass of cider and about $11 for the glass of mead. We will definitely return and excited to try more items. read more

First impression is that this place has really cute and fun beach decor. The staff was also very friendly. Unfortunately the food was a disappointment. We ordered the hot chicken sandwich. It comes with two tenders in the bun and one kept falling out of the bun and it lacked any spicy flavor. My daughter's loaded tots were missing sauces and the side of jalapeño. The French fries were also lacking. My son also thought his burger was undercooked. However, I did like my pulled pork taco. One taco for $9 is a little high though. They do offer a discount on Tuesdays. I enjoyed my Cactus Cooler cider. If in the area, I recommend trying their ciders, just wasn't impressed with the food. read more

Beautiful decor to yummy delicious food! It's such a cute space that I can stay in this place for hours just enjoy people watching as I grub on their delicious food~ the food here isn't a huge portion but the price is pretty good deal.
