Great beer selection! Knowledgeable and helpful staff! I come in once every few weeks and try something different each time. I usually ask the staff what they'd recommend based on my and my wife's beer preferences. They're always helpful and never disappoint with their recommendations! I'm glad to live close to this place! read more

The best stop for craft beer! Used to drive all the way to Redondo Beach for a good craft beer store. Thank God for Blackbeard's!! Best selection in West LA. read more

Blackbeard's Crafts - Awesome selection we bought from Blackbeard's - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Shout out to the owner Cheyenne for giving me and my brother in law some good recs, highly recommend dr lupulin and gouden carolus. Check this place out you won't be disappointed. read more

Excellent shop and staff. I was blown away when I first found this place and have kept coming back. Shayan is super knowledgeable and helpful, with such a huge selection it can be hard to pick sometimes. Can't reccomend this place enough. read more

Don't go anywhere else for craft beer on the westside. Shayan is awesome - don't let his beard intimidate you, he's great. Excellent selection and A+ recommendations. Not to be missed. read more

Blackbeard, your landing on Sawtelle is long overdue. I was afraid I would be stuck slinking back to WF for my late-ish-night craft beer cravings, or miserably handing over double digits for a single bottle at Wally's, or making yet another final compromise at Ralph's. And just when I think your booty is plump, you go and plunder some more breweries and distributors. I can't wait to see how your conquest expands. I realize it's still early in your campaign, so I can forgive doubling up in the cold case and on the dry racks, and I can look past the bare shelves or empty spaces in the corners, and I can assume the brand spreads will even out. I trust, once you shake off the sea legs, you'll build a craft beer castle, or whatever it is pirates do on land, so that your thirsty subjects can return for their ales. read more

Pretty great selection of craft beers, limited on regular selections but still overall good and convenient. A little upcharge on most things but i pay for convenience. read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! My husband and I went there a week after they opened, and the owner could not be any more nicer. He is knowledgeable, amazing, and always has an AMAZING recommendation and cold beer in the back! This is the only beer place I will go. We recently moved, but I really don't care that it's 40 mins away, I will ONLY get my alcohol here. read more

From the moment you walk into this store you are greeted and treated with respect. The customer service is very friendly and the staff is knowledgeable and able to offer many interesting suggestions. I always walk out if there with a new beer to try and rarely am I disappointed with the flavor. I dont often write reviews but this place is by far worth it! Best beer spot in town. read more

You know what's sad? That this store doesn't exist on every corner of every city in the US. This place is a treasure cove of delightful beer, wine, snacks, and people (and all the knowledge they can possess should you require). The crew running this place are always so kind and never fail to reinforce why I choose to spend my money here. If you haven't been here yet you should stop being a dummy. read more

Unique liquor store - highly recommended! Each item has a personalized note detailing the flavors and notes contained within. Unlike any other store in its class. Has a fun vibe in the store, as well. read more

Truly the best craft beer & wine spot in town. We are so lucky to have this gem within walking distance. Everyone working at Blackbeard's is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about craft beer, not to mention the friendliest. I'm not a yelp reviewer, but local places like this are a dying bread, and there's nothing I love more than supporting small businesses who just rule! read more

There aren't enough words to describe how amazing Blackbeard's Craft is!! First of all given the name of the store, its PIRATE THEMED!! The decor includes a variety of skeletons, sea creatures, a jaw-dropping chandelier, and Drum-roll Please... the most awesomeness chair, better yet the ULTIMATE THRONE you could have possibly ever seen!! Now onto the selection, there are countless options of Beers, which would include a vast variety of Ales, Lagers, Stouts, etc. All the types of Beers that you would hope for along with the endless types of styles could be found at Blackbeard's Craft! But wait there's more, you can also choose from the several Wine options there are! From Pinot Noir, Pinot Grigio, Sake's, etc.! There is something for everyone. We're still not done. It's only right to pair the beverage of your liking with a snack. For those who have the munchies, you have the option to choose from the always amazing sweets, chips, and protein bars!! Along with the wide selection, there are of Beer and Wine, one thing that you will truly be amazed by is the customer service! That's right, at Blackbeard's Craft, the employees are helpful by beyond expectations!! They will help you find what you're looking for, and if you're not sure, don't worry they will provide excellent recommendations!! The overall customer experience isn't over, most of the time you will be introduced to the owner himself. He is wonderful person and truly cares for his customers. This isn't a chain based establishment, Blackbeard's Craft is Genuine. What are you waiting for head off to Blackbeard's Craft! read more

Best craft beer store in LA! Anytime I'm down from Portland OR I am stopping in here to see what Shayan (the owner who is a hilarious wonderful human!) has for me! IPA heaven with tons of local brews to choose from. Staff (and little notes by each beer) really help with selection and always try to get you your new favorite beer. Wine and cider also available! Can't wait for my next visit in December! read more

Really good recommendations for beer and wine. Awesome place and a great place to browse while waiting for one of the many restaurants on sawtelle. read more

Went here after having dinner and dessert on sawtelle and wanted to grab some treats for home. We where greater by the employee and started to look around. Once we where ready to check out the same employee helped us (he was the only one there) Ana he was the best! He was so insightful about all things beer and wine. We chatted about the beer culture and really appreciated his view point. Would highly recommend and will be coming back! read more

There are not enough great things to say about Blackbeards! With in person connection being limited in the pandemic, every interaction counts which is why the kindness and compassion Blackbeards brings to the neighborhood is so meaningful. Blackbeards is a store but it's also so much more. Shayan and his team go above and beyond to create a space where everyone feels welcome and belongs, including the pups! Super grateful for their contribution to our community, thank you! read more

Love this neighborhood beer/wine shop. Always love coming in to see what new beers they have in stock. Always greeted by friendly faces at the register. read more

Beautiful store. Shayan is he most knowledgeable beer expert I know (and we used to own a liquor store). He is also very kind and helpful. I'm preparing to place my next order now. read more

The best craft beer place to go to. Prices are reasonable and staff is incredibly helpful (without the element of trying to sell you things for bad prices/no reason). Can't ask for anything more than helpful staff, good alcohol prices, and great selection. 10/10 recommend. read more

Great local beer and wine shop! The owner is amazingly knowledgeable and there is an excellent selection of IPAs, sours, and all the above. I would highly recommend coming here instead of a grocery store or other chain! read more

They are extremely COVID friendly and have gloves for you at the front. It was my dad's birthday and I wanted to get him a variety of beers but wasn't sure where to start as they had quite a few choices. They guys that worked there were extremely friendly and helpful as he went through the options with me and helped me pick out some great options! read more

Awesome selection of stouts and porters! I usually have trouble finding a good selection of stouts and porters but not here. They have the beer color coded so you can find what you are looking for pretty easily. Dude at the counter was super helpful; he got me pointed in the right really quick! read more

Guarantee you will find something you haven't tried. The selection here is hand picked and very accurate descriptions posted in front of every beer if it's unique (almost all are). Color guide is available to quickly help you look for your favorite type or range of beer. They have the common brands in unique styles and so much more of the uncommon. I think I spent a good 45 min just reading the majority of the descriptions (my first time here). This place is a miniature version of Total Wine store (beer and wine) but done so much better because I go to these places to find something unique and I find it! read more

The best beer store in LA. Proprietor Shayan is a master curator, but where others exude snobbery he really just wants to help your taste buds have the good time they deserve. Go there now. read more

Really great place in the area, introduced me to my new favorite local beer. Very friendly staff, willing to answer every question about brands and varieties. Nice selection of regional and local brands. I've moved out of the neighborhood recently, and I dread losing regular access to this place. read more

The GOAT beer store of LA. Nothing else need be said...Adding more words because yelp says I have to. Hi Mom!

What a strange and wonderful shop. Cheyenne has super knowledgeable and helpful. Beverages I've never heard, and probably never would have without his help. If you like craft beer, check this place out! read more

Best selection of beers in town but even better customer service. Shayan is the man!!! Will be coming here for all my alcoholic beverage needs. Would give 6 stars if I could. read more

Shayan and his team are incredibly helpful when looking for selections. I'm really glad they're open during these tough times.

A very cute neighborhood liquor store! The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. My favorite part is the shelf of individual beers and ciders that you can normally only get in 6-packs. It's rotating selection and there is a discount for getting six or more individual beers. read more

Dude this is the best craft beer/wine shop in Los Angeles. They get the best stuff, the customer service is exceptional, and they're a small business, so support them! read more

This place is incredible! Great selection of Beer, and the staff is so incredibly knowledgeable. I want to love stouts, but something about them makes them undrinkable for me. I drink double and triple ipa's easily, but just have trouble appreciating stouts. The guy with the beard, owner I'm guessing was awesome. Spent a ton of time with me trying to figure out what would be the best to try. Made great recommendations, and I'll surely go back. Great place!! Have to stop here, if you're in the area for Beer and Wine. read more

Your one stop shop for a solid selection of craft brews, wines, and goodies to satisfy those drunchies. Not sure what to get? Ask whoever is behind the counter - the people who work here are extremely knowledgeable and will recommend something to suit your palate. Awesome place. read more

Love the sour selection and in general the breadth of beers available. Plus the owner is super rad. My go to place for craft beers.

SHOUTOUT CHEYENNE!! Best selection of craft brews in the area. Not to mention they are extremely knowledgeable about everything in stock and very fun read more

If I want bud light I go to vons. If I want something like the neapolitan can, new England style double ipa from black market brewing Co I go to blackbeard's Crafts. Great selection and friendly staff always willing to help make a recommendation. read more

This is a great local craft store. The owner and the employees are very friendly and very helpful. Check this place out!! You won't regret it. read more

Solid ever changing selection at a fair price. Not sure what more you want in a beer store. Owner helpful and friendly as well.
