    Flight of unbound brews!
    Patty S.

    We tried their cold brew! New to their menu. The lobster roll on squid bread was decent. The fish tacos were also good... however, IF you are allergic to shellfish please know that the fish is fried in the same oil as the shellfish therefore probably bot a good idea to eat fish tacos. The wins were good. The Nashville wins a very spicy. We tried their non-alcoholic margaritas, they were ok, but honestly I probably wouldn't order those again. The ambiance is nice. We had a lovely time. Free street parking was convenient. The restaurant is clean. The wait-staff was friendly... however, I am sorry to say that it was super slow and one of us didn't get our food until the rest of us were done.

    Salmon dip...delicious
    Kimberly J.

    My sister and I decided to dine at Brewport on our way to LAX before our flight. The abundance of self tap beers and wine along with a nice food menu interested us. The waitress did not provide the best experience. She was very curt and very standoffish, especially when we saw her interacting with others compared to us. Mind you, there was a couple, two guys and then us. So she was not "busy" as it was 1pm. Not one time did she inquire if we needed anything or how was our food. It seem like a cool place to grab some beverages and nibbles but hopefully next time better hospitality. I will say the salmon dip and habanero chicken sandwich was delicious. The macaroni salad needed more mayo and flavor. The fries were pretty good too.

    Great spot to go for game nights! Came here on a Friday night and the beers were spot on. So many options and so fun pouring our own drinks! They have a great selection of beers and wines to self pour!! Although it was crowded, the servers were attentive and served us at a decent time. It's a casual brewery and great for work events! Wings were big but tasted okay. Overall, Great for drinks but okay for food!

    Definitely an ideal spot to hang with friends! Entering, you're automatically greeted and informed of the wristband-use (pretty cool!). In my case, i was informed that there are other options besides beer! They have a full bar at this spot. If you like having options, this is the ideal spot to try out. I had the pineapple cucumber ghost margarita which was yummy. It did have a bit of spice, as inferred in the name. Most of the seating is geared for groups of 4 but you are able to move stools around, like we did, for our group of 6. And there are a couple of long tables. My friends were bummed with how many taps became empty all at once, pretty early, around 8pm. Going to where the outdoor back patio is, you'll find two restroom stalls. They are both gender neutral. Not the messiest but could be cleaner.

    Chicken sandwich
    Paul C.

    Exec summary: a "novelty " sports bar where you get a wristband , sample all sorts of beers and have pub snacks 1- food We got a burger (hard to screw up) and a chicken sandwich. Had to get the tots, of course The food was average. This is not a gastro pub. So expect sports bar quality. That being said, it was fine 2 - Service No complaints at all. We came in after the lunch rush so we got helped right away. No complaints 3- ambiance They have games you can borrow and play, lots of TVs with sports channels, a carpet that looks like it's absorbed it's fair share of spilled beer .... Summary: for what it is, totally fine

    Brew up some burgers and sandwiches, tap into the array of beers on the wall, and open the doors to the house of fun, this is Brewport Tap House in El Segundo. Cool concept Brewary with above average food, so many options for beers. You can get a wristband and pour all the options and amount of beer you want, pay as you go. Plenty of space for small and large groups. Lots of TVs for sports games and a small outdoor area for lawn games. The service is quick and often, which I appreciated. Parking around the area is tough so. Definitely recommend checking it out if you're in the downtown El Segundo area.

    Beer and wine

    This place was so interesting when I first came in. You pour however much beer or wine you want & they will charge you for just that! Which is really convenient, if you want to try something. My boyfriend and I decided to get the flight glasses & tried all the beers & wines they had haha, it was a really fun experience. The lady at the front just checks your ID and gives you a bracelet so you could pour your drinks. They have TV's around the place in case there's games going on & a wall full of events that they do which I find pretty fun and entertaining.

    Unique take on a sports bar. If you've never been, you get a wristband and tap the wristband on the self serve beer and wine taps and pay when you're ready to close your tab. Seems reasonably priced as well -- all of the beers I tried were priced at around 60 cents/ounce. I love all of the sour options, and the chocolate raspberry cider is absolutely amazing! I also like that they provide smaller glasses with a tray if you want to make your own beer flight tasting. Will definitely be back!

    Lobster roll

    Yaaahh !!! Delicious lobster roll No really roll but black fresh bread and yams) Beer great ,and service good

    black garlic honey habanero with tater tots
    Camille W.

    I came here on a Friday night around 6:45 with a group of about 6-7 people - this place is PERFECT for a group! This brewery was so cool since it was a "pour your own" system where you just tap with a bracelet to keep track of how much you're drinking. I'm not even a beer fan but they also had hard kombucha, wine, and some really tasty ciders. Since I wasn't drinking, I HAD to partake in their dinner - their menu was surprisingly large for a brewery, I was pleasantly surprised! I got the Black Garlic Honey Habanero chicken sandwich at our waiter's suggestion and I'm glad I trusted them - it was GREAT! I love the coleslaw toppings, the tater tots had that extra crispiness that I love for my fried potatoes and the portion size was perfect. It wasn't that spicy, which I was perfectly fine with because all the other flavors were sooo good. My only note would be I wish the chicken was a little thicker but that's the big back in me talking For 3 meals, I spent ~$58 including tip. My boyfriend got 2 flights and a couple solos and spent a bit over $30 for that. Parking was FREE! I will definitely be back here

    Southwest chicken wrap
    Kristen S.

    Stopped in here before a flight at LAX. Food was typical bar food and good. There is a wall of beers and wine that you can sample with a wristband. TV's all over showing different sporting events. Our waiter was new but did a great job!

    Carne asada tacos
    Drew C.

    This place is sweet! Right off of the Main Street that's got a bunch happening, it's got indoor and outdoor seating options and several rooms each offering a different ambience so you can find what works best for you. Sports on several TVs also adds the sports bar feel which is nice. The coolest thing has to be that you can just get a wristband that allows you to pour your own glass from any of the 20+ taps giving you a chance to try anything you want! And finally, the food was delicious - all I got a picture of was the tacos, but hands down I have no stopped thinking about the hot garlic blackened chicken sandwich! Only regret is not getting two!

    So many beer options!
    Kimberly G.

    We stopped here for the beer and ended up having a great afternoon at Brewport! If you've never been, you get a bracelet that allows you to scan and pour your own, perfect for those who typically order flights or can't make up their minds! While it comes out to be more than your typical pint, getting to try so many options is worth it to me! Outside of the beer, there's a menu with gastropub items and tons of TVs to watch your favorite game.

    Ask the Community - Brewport Tap House

    Can you bring your own food?

    Yeah they let me bring cake for a birthday party and even provided plates!

    Do you serve wine as well as beer?

    Yes

    Is it dog friendly?

    Yep, saw a few in the outdoor eating area a month or so ago.

    Do you have TVs in the outside beer garden?

    Yes, we do. Because taking the necessary Covid precautions reduces our capacity in back and the World Series is in full swing, we highly recommend reservations, which you can get online at our website — www.brewporttaphouse.com.

    Do you allow outside food?

    Sorry, but we don't. We do have a full kitchen that serves great food, though.

    Is there still pour your own / self serve taps?

    Not currently. Due to the current Covid situation, the self pour taps are closed, but we do have a good assortment of craft beer on tap, both on our expanded (newer) side, as well as outside in the Backyard Beer Garden during its operating hours.

    Do they have WiFi?

    Yes, our WiFi coverage extends both to our front patio and Backyard Beer Garden.

    Do they have any games?

    No games. You can watch sports on TVs.

    Are children allowed?

    Yes they are.

    Do you have to pay for the wristband?

    The wristbands are turned in when you check out at the front desk. There isn't a charge for it, in and of itself, unless you were to leave with it. Otherwise, you are only charged for what you pour.

    Do they take reservations?

    We're first come, first served, except in the case of larger parties (generally 15 or more). Should that be the case, you can email info@brewporttaphouse.com

    Good for large groups?

    Definitely. They have a large area in front and a small patio at the back. They can accommodate around 40-50 people.

    How do the drinks work, do you pay for unlimited pours or do you pay per pour?

    When you check in up front and present your ID, you receive a sensored wristband preloaded with 40 ounces of capacity. You only get charged for what you actually drink, however and the price per ounce of all of our selection is on the tap display.… Read more

    Are there televisions available to watch sport games? In one of the reviews, I saw a person watching a boxing match on her phone...

    Yes, we do have several big screen televisions at Brewport to show major sporting events.

    Is it ok to bring kids 5-10 years old before 5pm?

    Yes. It's fine, we serve food, have a full kitchen and are all ages

    What time does the kitchen close on weekends?

    I believe you have to order before 945pm

    What time is happy hour?

    At present we really don't have a happy hour per se. We do offer half-price discounts on certain items during our Sunday brunch. We certainly appreciate your interest and hope you can make it down

    Does anyone know if they are dog-friendly here?

    Yes the open front patio and the covered back patio are both dog friendly. Water bowls and treats are available too!

    I am not much of a beer drinker. It does not fit my style. Plus, Emily Gilmore implied that it was…read morenitwit juice and Buffy devolved to a Cave person after drinking enchanted beer so these quasi-after-school specials taught me that heathens and their kin drink beer. Of course, I kid, beer can be a wonderful thing, I just rather do cocktails and shots. So I went to Sugar Monkey Brewing because of a different pull: a power point slide show where friends pitch their single friends to strangers for a chance at love or romp. So I went in not knowing much of Sugar Monkey Brewing and I left with clear understanding that this place is an industrial beer oasis near the beach. The contrast of sand and blue on the horizon and the present aluminum lining made me feel like I was seeing a new uncommon mixture that proved that clashing environments can gel to delight. I found parking easily. It was a Saturday early evening, and about a 5 minute walk was where I discovered my spot. I honestly hated that I had to walk those 5 minutes but the walk uplifted my spirits for the weather was California crisp and the air and sky and atmosphere felt safe and proper. I wondered if i had the right place? The streets looked like too industrial. Like I had gone to one of those places that had a lot of factories in rows, but not much else. But I turned a corner and there was Sugar Monkey. Then I realized that a brewery would probably look like a beer factory so this place, with all its steel and pumps, had found its home amongst beach skies. As I walked back to my car, later that evening, I was in slight awe at the pale light blue and orange sky. It was serene, and vast and somehow beach appropriate. The water tower iin a picture I took was a nice touch as it reminded me of the Animaniacs, especially Wakko and Dot. I arrived after the first presentation was on its way. I started to listen intently to understand the dynamics because this all seemed so weird yet plausible. Like a dating auction turned fun not hokey or corny? The person was hyping up her friend J. Apparently, he spoke many languages, and hiked and did all these other stuff that were meant to induce attractions. Then she asked, What can he do? And she then explained how she was going to make a joke and that no one needed to fear going to hell if they laughed. And she then reveal that the thing he can't do is SEE because he was blind. The joke was in good taste. The joke, at least to me, carried disability pride. She had revealed that he was different because his sight was different to a crowd of would be judges and suitors. The strength of the duo was refreshing, dare I say, more than the beach breeze. Being witness to this moment made me feel like I had seen a beautiful moment and one I never imagine I would see. And for this reason alone, my trip to Sugar Monkey was more than fun, it was heart-opening. The place itself is cool. Their outside was a huge garden like setting. The place had pool, however, the patio is crowded so I am not sure how people can play if too many people are there. Another thing I saw- that is a credit to this place- is that it had a wheelchair elevator. So if someone was chilling in the patio and wanted to chill in their wooded floor area- where the bar was they could use the wheelchair lift, if they could not use their legs. The place had also had kind of like an off-beat personality. It had a British phone, an astronaut that seemed to have hit a space that painted him with grafitti flare, and beers with names like green means go. I think I would go to this place again, for the beer and the air and to Karaoke. I loved this place and the activity it hosted!

    The beer is ok, 3/5. Definitely a step behind the other breweries in area but a few options I do…read morelike. Food trucks are typically very solid, overall I would give food a 4/5. Ownership/service is about as bad as it gets. Overall service is pretty awful, not welcoming, catering to an odd crowd. I've been to sugar monkey about 20+ times over the last year, so this isn't a one off experience. We live local and go often but have slowly started just going to other breweries in the area given consistently poor service/rude servers here. I think there is really high potential here but they just swing and miss.

The Poké bowl comes with a side of spicy mayo, and I didn't use a whole lot of it, but it did add a great flavor to the bowl. I paired it with a citrusy IPA (I don't remember the name of it because somebody else ordered the pitcher) and it was delicious. The service is always good whether I go with one other person or 8. The music is amazing, (I love quizzing the 20-something's to see if they know who the bands are when the videos come up). There are tons of things to look at (if you have younger kids, a lively game of I spy will keep them entertained long enough for the food to arrive and maybe even for you to eat). I don't understand why they don't actually play live music there except fine, I get it. The neighbors might protest at the noise levels. We will definitely be back and if they are an option at an airport or other destination, we often choose them first.

The place was crowded and lively on the early Saturday evening I was there.

(My litmus test for NY pizza at a new location.) It was FANTASTIC. Easily among the very best crusts I've had on the west coast...super thin and crispy...exactly as it should be. The balance of sauce and cheese was also perfect. Too many pie shops seem to treat sauce as an afterthought...too thin a layer, almost not tastable. But not here...it was perfect...the right amount of everything. There are other really delectable looking pizza options, even for vegetarians like me, including a fascinating "Cacio E Pepe" and a Margherita.

    The first thing I noticed about Manhattan Beach Post was the plants. Not because there were a few…read moreplants. Lots of restaurants have a few plants. These plants appeared to have union representation. They're everywhere. Hanging from things. Growing out of things. Quietly observing your meal. The whole place feels like someone built a really nice restaurant and then let nature move in as a long term tenant. The room hums. Not loudly. Not aggressively. Just enough. Glasses clink. People lean into conversations. Servers weave through the room carrying plates that look heavy enough to alter their center of gravity. Nobody seems rushed. Everybody seems busy. It's a difficult balance. The biscuits arrived first. Now, I'd heard about the biscuits. People talk about these biscuits the way fishermen talk about the one that got away. Slightly dramatic. A little emotional. Hard to verify. Turns out the stories were true. Warm bacon cheddar biscuits with maple butter. I took one bite and immediately understood why people order a second round. The outside has just enough structure to remind you it's baked. The inside is soft enough to make you wonder whether butter has secretly become a building material. We ordered another. Not because we needed another. Because apparently that's what happens here. The creamy polenta showed up next and felt like the culinary equivalent of a weighted blanket. Comforting. Smooth. Relaxed. The sort of dish that encourages you to slow down and stop checking your phone. The duck was one of my favorites. Lightly fried with crisp skin and tender meat, resting on white Italian beans and rosemary. It felt like something a French chef would cook after spending a weekend in the countryside and becoming briefly inspired by fresh air. At some point you stop evaluating food and simply nod in agreement with it. This was one of those moments. Dessert was equally dangerous. The olive oil cake arrived with strawberries and disappeared much faster than logic suggested it should. The cheesecake somehow managed to be rich and light at the same time, which feels like it should violate a law of physics somewhere. Service deserves its own mention. The whole team operates like a group project where everyone actually did their part. Plates appeared when they should. Water glasses mysteriously refilled themselves. Questions were answered without anyone making you feel like you should already know the answer. The chef's French influence shows up everywhere, but not in a showy way. Nothing feels complicated for the sake of being complicated. Everything feels like somebody spent a lot of time thinking about it so you wouldn't have to. By the end of the meal, I realized Manhattan Beach Post had done something difficult. It felt special without feeling serious. You can dress up. You can come casually. You can celebrate something important or absolutely nothing at all. Just order the biscuits. The plants already know you're going to.

    Good experience at this restaurant in Manhattan beach. Modern take on Southern and general American…read morecuisine. Food was great, but not mind-blowing in my opinion. Some dishes could've been executed better. Going down the list of dishes I had here: - Bacon Cheddar Buttermilk Biscuits: These were more like scones rather than biscuits. Crunchy with good bacon and cheddar flavor. - Japanese Hamachi Crudo: Unique and I liked the citrusy flavor and creamy texture. However, 3 small slices of fish for $26 was overpriced. - Leafy Greens & Radicchio: Solid and crispy salad with a nice tangy dressing. The cheese also added a lot of sharp flavor which was nice. - Skirt Steak: Good flavor and char, but a bit tough. Also some dry pieces. - Chilean Sea Bass: Lemon orzo risotto was creamy and delicious. The sea bass itself was okay, nothing special. It felt overpowered by the risotto. The fish was moist and flaky though. - 20 Oz Prime Beef Ribeye: Quality was subpar relative to price. Portion size was solid by the steak itself was inconsistent. Some of the pieces were rarer while others were more well-done even though we asked for medium rare. There were also some dry pieces which I did not like. Flavor was good though. - Strawberry and Olive Oil Cake: Was confused since there was just a thin layer of cake, but realized the title also referred to the mousse. I would title it 'Strawberry Mousse with Olive Oil Cake" to make it less confusing. Regardless, this was a delicious dessert! Love the fruity strawberry and savory pistachio flavors as well as the smooth textures. - S'mores sundae: Got this on the house for my aunt's birthday. A generous portion but the components were a bit too sweet for my liking. I visited this restaurant for a birthday that I organized and my experience was overall good. Reservation was made easy using OpenTable and I could also mention it was for a birthday occasion. The ambiance was gorgeous with good mood lighting. Good for group and 1 on 1 dining. Parking is metered or street parking. Overall, I probably wouldn't come out of my way to dine here again, but my experience wasn't bad just not significant enough to put in my rotation. Would come back if someone treated me here though.
