Walking in, I absolutely loved the art everywhere. It was unique and beautiful to look at. It's a pretty big space and everyone was at the bar, assuming it was regulars. We tried the beers but not sure if it was an off night or maybe just not us. Beer I tried: Fuzz Box: Tart. Raspberry Effing Steve's: Bitter Lars: Bitter Nectarino: Bitter hoppy water

This will be a bit of a combined review. Audiograph Beer Co. opens up their backspace on Sundays for a collaborative pop-up event with friends, and I'll be reviewing them all together. A friend and I were walking past the bar when we noticed a row of food tents in the back. We decided to stop by, even though we were already headed to a Smashburger spot. When we saw a sign that read "smash burgers made different," we knew we had to give Park Burger LA a try. Park Burger pulled us in, but it was the vibe created by the bar, the vendors, and the people that made us stay. First off, the owner of Park Burger LA is amazing. She was fired up to tell us about her business, and as we explored the menu, she let us in on a secret burger and suggested we give it a try. I ordered The Goudacris, a special variation of the Spicy Mo. Let me tell you, this burger is hands-down my number one favorite Smashburger. I've never had one with Gouda cheese, let alone spicy Gouda. The patty was perfectly seasoned and grilled, the Gouda melted just right, and the bun was topped with a spicy bacon jam. I've never had a flavor profile like this before, or if I have, I can't recall when. I also tried a chicken cheddar biscuit and a strawberry cornbread cupcake from Soul to Table. The biscuit was excellent. The shredded chicken and perfectly cooked biscuit (moist, not dry) complemented each other beautifully. The strawberry cupcake added a sweet finish to the meal. On top of that, the owner of Soul to Table was really nice and bubbly. It made the experience even better because it was not just about eating the food, but also about hearing the stories behind it and the friendships that make events like this possible. The bar itself had a really nice ambience. As a brewery, they make their own beer in-house. The vibe was welcoming, and although I'm not a big drinker, I sampled their house lager. It was amazing, just a refreshing pour to wash down all the incredible food being served in the back. All in all, seeing these businesses partner and collaborate felt inspiring. Together they have curated an environment worth hanging out in, with food that is good, drinks that are wonderful, and people who are amazing.

I have driven past this place so many times and had no idea it existed. Joined a group of friends on election night for a couple of beers. The layout was wide open, with high tables and low seating. Clean and dimly lit, not an extensive menu but the brews I tried I really enjoyed. The Audition is a lighter blonde with a refreshing taste. The Opening Ceremony is an IPA with a touch of citrus. It was a packed house but the bartenders were serving up the beers quickly.

Fun spot. They have an outdoors area with some food trucks and corn hole too. Inside it's pretty cool to hang out amongst the vats. Theres a collection of draughts to try. Just ask the bartender for a taste if you're unsure. Bathrooms are clean too, a big plus!!

Come watch the game and bring the pup. Enjoy a beer, play a board game. If you're lucky, you get a chance to talk to Cristina, who owns the place and works the bar regularly. Such a treat! A good neighborhood feel in a neighborhood with decreasing options. They do not have a kitchen, but you can easily bring your own food from outside or order food to the brewery. It will help you stay a while.

I checked this brewery out with a friend over the weekend. The space is larger than I thought but not too many customers on a Saturday night. Beer was good and I can see this place popping as the space is large, beer was good and they have tons of board games. The only hassle is parking.

Came here before a concert at the Peacock and it did not disappoint! It's a microbrewery located in DTLA and they have selections ranging from Ales to Stouts. I had the Brauhaus and I enjoyed it! The worker was friendly and welcoming as well.

I stopped in here on my way home from work, just to let the traffic settle a bit. This was a Cool little spot, easy parking and really tasty beer. Not a huge selection but they have something for everyone for sure. The bartender was friendly. Seems like a local spot as everyone seemed to know him when they walked in. Im a sucked for IPAs and they have delicious West Coast Options on tap. If I'm on the area, I'd definitely be back

This review is based on being a guest at a special event that was held here and this local brewery in downtown LA. The hubby and I took a Lyft here although traffic and parking can be hit or miss in this area. There was actually some parking in the rear though on an early Saturday evening. Nice vibe, dog-friendly, and kind bartenders. Neither I or the hubby is a beer drinker but, we like the sour beer options! I went for the "Fuzz Box" option. You can taste from either mango which is more tart or the raspberry. Hubby chose mango and I liked the raspberry much better. Audio says the ABV is just 5.5 and to me it tastes almost like raspberry soda but, almost like having a glass of wine. I liked it so much that I got 2 of them. Although, Audio is a small place, there are several tables and chairs and seating at the bar. There are a couple of TV to watch a game. Lots of art work on the walls and a little Lego replica of Audio itself. Our party had maybe 20 or so people and Audio gave our hosts the liberty to decorate the party area. It very, very nice. I hear this is not a far walk from Cryto arena/LA Live. Even if you're not a beer person like me, I'd recommend the sours. If you are a local to this 90015 DTLA area, just visiting and into beer, I recommend supporting this local biz and do so responsibly.

4++ DTLA music/audio themed craft brewery located a short walk from Crypto/ Staples. Looks to have a good variety of styles on tap at a given time and the space has wide open seating in a large room with fun art and great decor. I'm not sure if they have food or snacks for sale (if they don't, I think the usual is that you are able to bring in your own food - just be sure to clean up after yourself. Campground rules! - strive to leave the place better than you found it). I rushed to get here to meet up with a buddy right before a Kings game so I wasn't able to get a great grasp on the offerings/ operations here. I was just able to try their west coast IPA. Classic flavor profile with the piney flavor you'd expect. Didn't realize until after I left, but they had a great sounding barrel aged barleywine on tap that I wanna try...hopefully it's still there next time. The beertender was very helpful in letting us know how to get to the arena quicker. Overall, just a great drinking spot to meet up with friends and that's conveniently located to some iconic locations in DTLA. I'm a fan. Parking could be tricky, especially depending on what is going on a particular date and what time of day. I found meter parking (after hours so free) a couple blocks away. It should be noted that at the current time of my car's life cycle, I wouldn't care if anything happened to it.

I came for a speed dating event that was being hosted at this venue . I looked over the menu and they didn't have a huge selection of beers on tap . I didn't see any ciders and they only had one seltzer. The Beertender let me sample a few of the different beers . Overall she was very friendly and nice . The location can host a lot of people which is nice too . Onto the beer . I was not impressed . The seltzer was very bland and tasted like water . The sour was not great and the hazy was whatever . I'm not a beer snob by any means but for this to be craft beer it was lacking and wasn't giving what I thought it would . This place also doesn't serve food as well which is a huge disappointment because when I go to a brewery I want to not only try the beer but the food as well . Overall

Checked out this local brewery in DTLA with a music theme and it rocked our beer glasses. Hi Def is an unassuming place from the outside. It has a location not close to a lot else going on it seems. A good thing if just wanting to go and enjoy some beers. The list has lighter ones as well as a few ones that are heavy. A small place but there's still a good amount of beers to choose from. It's about $7 a pint. These are the IPAs and lagers and stuff. Pay a few bucks more to get the Bass Clef. This is a double barrel rye and barrel aged barleywine, a strong one. Good flavors. It has notes of charred oak, dark cherry, fresh tobacco, and tawny port. This is $10 and it's not even a pint, but you will know why after you begin sipping. It's 15% ABV. Strong ass stuff. Can't drink more than a little bit at a time, so enjoy it. The rest of the beers are easier to be sure. Great place for drinking beers and watching games. It's like the kind of place for nerdy sports fans it seems. There's also fun events like trivia.

I don't often go to DTLA but every time I've been there HiDef wasn't yet open. I happened to be there on a Saturday afternoon and made sure that I made it over there to finally try it out. Early afternoon on a Saturday and it was quiet. Plenty of table space available and the parking lot turned outdoor patio was wide open as well. I sat and had three beers, which were tasty to okay. The beers were flavorful but generally lacked body. Service though was fine, with the bartender there to cheerfully provide any samples before a full pour. If you happen to be nearby it's a nice place to try out a couple fresh made beers.
