    All about the Boomtown Brewery! This Arts District favorite is a beat away from Union Station where I typically make my way over from to enjoy all the good good that Boom has to offer. Located on Jackson Street between N Vignes Street and Center Street (but actually on the corner on Vignes) you can find local street parking throughout the area, but nothing beats a train ride or a ride share to enjoy responsibly. Always have a great time here on the inside or their long patio with flat screens outdoors (as well as in) to catch the latest events. DJs always spinning the best beats. The brewery where the make the magic is pretty spacious yet intimate. Was able to go on a tour here and learn more about the ins and outs. The taproom is stellar for group hangs and socials. Pool tables, photo booth, arcade style games, loungey area, communal seating, and local food vendors who come out and serve up great eats. Not as many vegan friendly spot, though the few that are on select days and times are pretty solid. If you're an IPA enthusiasts they have at least 6 on the rotation including the Nose Job (7% abv) and a personal fav. Their Hydration Break WC IPA, is a little more of India Pale Ale punch (7.4%), but you can't go wrong with any. Flights are still a recommend if you want to feel out the variety. For Hard Seltzer lovers, you've got the Frosty Fresco or Al Fresco. Fruit Snacks Lager is surprisingly epic as is the Brett Michael's Blonde Sour. I do miss some of their more seasonals such as the red lager aka Part-Time Lover but do enjoy all that's on the rotation. You can pop in for events like Friday Karaoke, Tuesday Taproom Trivia or Open Mic Mondays. Book a private event for all style of events. Family and pet friendly until 7pm. Beer and wine packages available with up to 300 person capacity. No matter the day... Still come for the beer, stay for the cheer. Take in the rustic decor, artsy vibes outdoors. Planty vines and nothing but things that make you thrive. Boomtown Brewery always gets me feeling the good vibes.

    Swung by with my boiz on a Friday around 10pm and love the spot immediately! They have a stage in a grunge/warm warehouse area in one section for Kate one , and indoor bar space with many long tables and pool tables. We had hella rounds of Las Palmas on Draft and signed up for the karaoke list. It was jumping obviously so the list was long and sadly hadn't got called after maybe 2 hours there lol. We ended up getting some cookies from an indoor stand a vendor had set up inside. They were good af. Overall it's a laid back cool spot to down a few rounds with friends, and we did end up singing along a lot of times... so we kinda got a performance in lol. Some performers clearly outshined others but was a good time! I also liked that it's a dog friendly establishment so best believe I got some good pets in with the furry friends. Definitely would come back to try making the list earlier another time. Cool find!

    we came here before a Dodgers game! there's so many breweries around, but i saw this one on yelp and decided to give it a try - and i'm very happy that we did! lots of space inside to sit, and it's air conditioned with is GREAT rn with the heat! the guy behind the bar was so helpful and kind, he helped me choose what drinks to get for my flight and they all were delicious! i got: - the sour (i forgot the name but it was very blueberry and delicious!) - al fresco: hard seltzer, fruity! - dang foo: hazy ipa that was surprisingly delicious! not too bitter - seltzer slushee: veryyy fruity and delicious! good for people who love sweet drinks like me lol there's no parking lot, but there's a good amount of street parking! we can around 3/3:30pm on a Friday, so i'm sure any later and parking would've been tough so plan around that, too! overall 10/10 would come again for a yummy brew and good vibes :-)

    This is now one of my favorite spots in the Arts District. It is a fun brewery and they have Karaoke nights on Fridays. We just went last Friday and enjoyed the billiards and games they provide. Aside from billiards, we played jenga and uno. Good selection of beers! Fun place to go!!!

    A friend invited me to this spot, and I was surprised it was a bit empty considering the World Cup was going on I thought it would be more crowded. I had never heard of or been here before, but it seemed like a chill spot overall. It's a pretty big place with both outdoor seating and a split indoor layout, but everything was nice and comfortable. I ordered a beer flight I only ended up being a fan of one of them, but that one definitely hit, so that's a win. We came for a stand-up show, and it was a little empty, but honestly I didn't mind the relaxed vibe.

    Came to Boomtown Brewery after a group run with my running club and two other LA run crews, and it was such a fun experience! The place has a really cool, laid-back vibe spacious, industrial style, and super inviting. It got busy, but the staff handled it well and were friendly the whole time. I don't drink, but my friends all grabbed beers and kept saying how good they were (they're definitely known for their craft beers). Everyone was happy, which says a lot! I just enjoyed the atmosphere and the energy of the crowd. There's plenty of seating, clean bathrooms (always important), and even a separate room with a stage, so it looks like they host live music and events too. Big plus: it feels like a great spot to hang out after a run or meet up with friends. I've also heard they often have food trucks, which makes it even better. Overall, great vibes, good service, and a fun place to unwind. Would definitely come back with the group!

    We came here for Lectures on Tap and had a great time! The beer and service were good! Definitely recommend checking this place out! Parking situation is that if you get there between 4 and 7 you should find parking on the street

    Boomtown is always a vibe ! They have a good variety of beer choices and usually have food vendors that do not disappoint! The only thing is on special events it can get very crowded and their restrooms are so small. On game days it can be impossible to get a drink, but the beer tenders try their best it really is just that busy

    Great Vibes, Games, Karaoke & Churros -- We'll Be Back Came to check out Boomtown Brewery with my boyfriend and had such an awesome time. Even on a soggy, rainy day, this place delivered great vibes. We arrived a bit early and got to explore both rooms, which was a fun experience in itself. The first room had karaoke, long tables and benches, cozy sofas, dart machines, a photo booth, games, and restrooms. It's also very pet-friendly--as long as your dog is leashed. They even have water bowls for pets, which we loved. The second room to the right has board games, two pool tables, high tops, more seating, sofas, and the main bar. The whole space has a rustic, industrial feel with lots of cool hanging plants, and the atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. Everyone was friendly and kind. There was a food truck on site, and we also got lucky with a mobile churro vendor called Hippie Churro--we ordered two churros (one strawberry-filled and one plain), and they were delicious. $7 well spent. We enjoyed a michelada and an IPA, played Jenga, listened to music, and caught some karaoke performances. Overall, an amazing night with great energy and a solid setup for hanging out, playing games, and just enjoying the moment. We'll definitely be back soon.

    Beer tasted great, nice place to chill and watch the Dodgers. Hang out and drink a few brews while listening to some dj create jams.

    Ashley F.

    I've been a couple times and have had a good experience each time. The staff is very friendly and the beers are good. They also have plenty of food trucks in the front in case you're hungry.

    We came here during the week for one of those lectures next-door and thought it'd be a good idea to grab a couple beers prior. The place is cool. They have a great variety and the staff is super knowledgeable about all the drinks available.

    Fantastic ambiance! This place has such a cool vibe and great indoor space as well as outdoor seating. Inside gives off an elevated but still relaxing feel and outdoors was like a secret garden vibe. I'm personally a dark beer fan and they didn't have any but my brother got a light beer which he enjoyed and I bought him this awesome corduroy Boomtown hat. Super welcoming staff and a friendly crowd. I'd definitely come back.

    See all

    I love going to Lawless. I've often ended up here to watch important sports games like the World…read moreSeries or the World Cup. It's a great place to gather and drink with friends and friendly strangers. It's bigger than you think, too, since besides the main room it has a mezzanine, a private room near the bathrooms, and an outdoor patio area. While they don't serve food, there are always food trucks or other food vendors there. I also love the community events they put on. And social clubs even have meetups here. It's just good vibes all around. And honestly, every beer I've had here has been amazing. I recently had a sour that I loved. They also have slushies and nonalcoholic drinks. Their NA mojito was great when they had it. Only tough part is the parking but if the lot is unavailable, there's usually street parking in the neighborhood or across Vineland at the meters. Please keep being you, Lawless! ily

    Lawless brewery is tucked away in a residential street, right by the heart of noho arts district…read more Great service with great staff overall and good vibes. There is plenty of street parking around and the place is walkable. I visited this past Friday for the soccer game (Brazil Vs. Haiti) and noticed it was not extremely packed as it was the night prior (Mexico had won). Walked in and formed line to place my beer order. I went with "Big Screen Energy" IPA 8.2% imperial/double. I enjoyed this flavor so much that I ended up getting two more rounds later. Plenty of beer selection on tap and even wine. They offer indoor/outdoor seating as well as some space upstairs. Indoors they have a big screen, and the outdoor patio has a TV. Lastly, the upstairs area has a smaller TV. They also have rotating food trucks for anyone that develops hunger or cravings. They are pet and child friendly; very welcoming overall. I enjoyed visiting once again.
