“Smog City Brewing Co. is one of the best breweries I've been to in the LA Metro! They have a nice taproom space that expands outdoors, they have TV's playing whatever major game is going on that night, and the beer is top notch. My group thoroughly enjoyed the Tuna Thai Thai Belgian Blonde w/ Prickly Pear,Coffee Porter, Snuggly Bug Sour, Hoppy New Year Spruce Tip IPA and Unyielding Haze IPA! The Portuguese, Spanish and Mexican fusion taco stand was also amazing, and we came back for seconds! Some of the best tacos we've had in a long time! The prices for the beer here were also below market average which was a nice change of pace, especially since everything was delicious. 5/5 would highly recommend stopping in!“
“I wish I could drink here everyday. They make the best ipas in the world. Staff is always chill and helpful. Been to both locations and you get the same service. Been drinking monkish for 8 years now and finally got to visit the Brewery the past 2 years. Cheers“
“we love this place! The atmosphere is fun with chill vibes. Huge space. They have dozens of pin ball games, old school pac man, jumbo Jenga, comfy couches.. dogs are allowed/Kid friendly.. There’s always a nice mix of people when I’ve been, plus the guy that works weekend nights is nice eye candy ? I think his name is James.excited to get our group together for their trivia nights, starting this Tuesday.Besides all that they have really good beer! Surprisingly, my favorite during our last visit was this earl grey tea beer. I forgot the name but definitely worth a try!The only con I can say is they need better lighting on their business signs on Del Amo Blvd. especially with it getting darker earlier, it’s hard to see where they are, kinda hidden. Unless you’ve been before, you’d have no idea it was there once the sun goes down. A few lights at the entrance would probably go a long way for business.All in all, solid establishment. ?“
“Cellador has long been a top-rated brewery amongst beer fans/snobs, but their niche is very particular: They produce barrel-fermented sour beers, so if you're looking for a hard seltzer, Czech pilsner, or triple imperial pastry stout, this isn't the brewery for that. Cellador's current location on Del Amo Boulevard in Torrance is not a taproom; there's no place to drink here. To be honest, it's barely even a sales location. From the large Smog City Brewing logo on the wall, one can likely surmise they are using capacity at a Smog City facility ― especially since Smog City's brewery and taproom are right across the parking lot. (That, and the first person who helped me here I later spotted worked at said taproom.) The owner came and spoke with me, and was very patient even as I admitted that I am not a big fan of sour beers and that I had not warmed well to one of Cellador's I had recently tried. Nonetheless, I did find something to purchase: a Lichtenhainer, a rare type of beer that has a lactic fermentation where the malt is smoked, so it's both smoky and sour. (It's an acquired taste, to be sure, but I love smoked beers.) While their style may not be my thing, I respect Cellador's devotion to their craft, and the owner is a really nice guy, too. I wish them the best, and while they may not be in my beer strike zone, I'll keep trying them to see what they're doing.“
“Great beer, service, and vibe! Checked out Absolution on Sunday and it was great. Head Brewer and beer tender were friendly and very informative. Enjoyed chatting with them about their current beer and future brews that are coming. Lots of TV's going with the Sunday NFL games on. Dog friendly and food truck on site. Micheladas are amazing! Loved the beer and peeps. We will be back.“
“Had a great meal with a group of friends here today. We had a group of about 30 with a bit of a classic car show before the meal.Restaurant staff were fantastic, food was too notch! I had a traditional fish and chips and they served it with a bottle of malt vinegar on the side. That's how it should be and I was impressed!The food was great, entire group orders taken and served quickly with no short cuts, everything was prepared properly and tasted great. Drinks were continually topped off and servers were a cheerful happy bunch.We were made to feel welcome and we enjoyed the whole experience.“
“BEST TRIVIA SPOT!!! But seriously, our daughter has spent two birthdays at Smog City West for their trivia nights. She doesn't know any other way. Sam is the best beertender ever, and knows exactly what you want. They don't have food, but you can bring your own. Brittany is the best trivia host!! (Insert high fives).Board games? They've got em. Chalkboard hallway and chalk to draw? You betcha. Simpsons arcade game? D'oh! Yup! Oh, and don't forget about the free books outside next door at the tutoring place to go peruse in between rounds. Thanks for all the good times, Smog City!!“
“I love going to HopSaint when in the South Bay. The food and beer is great, and the staff is always friendly. I typically get the jambalaya with grits, but have tried several of the other menu items. I've enjoyed everything I had there.“
“The food was awesome. We had the burger with split decision half fries half onion rings we also had the pretzel bites with cheese dipping sauce. So yummy.Kid-friendliness: We met the little league team there since we have been rained out of firat practice. It was so nice to get to know the families.“
“Good vibes! Flight is a great deal at 10 bucks for five pours. My favorites were lavender lace, bee keeper, and liv aloha. Bartender was awesome and super friendly. One of my favorite breweries in the area and I will be back.Also on a Friday they are open until 10 despite what it says on Yelp! Happy they were open for karaoke night. My only critique is don't let people fill up their own personal water bottle on the community water spout...with covid raging and all.“
