What better place to have a book club meeting than at a brewery?! Haha…read more My girls and I absolutely loved common place; such a vibe with such good music and energy! There's plenty of seating and I can imagine during this time (World Cup season) this place gets so packed and fun in the best way. The service was great. We had a lot of questions about the drinks. We were recommended a flight if we were unsure which you can customize; I definitely recommend this if it's your first time so you can try a little bit of everything. They had a vendor selling tacos, burritos and other Mexican style items which were absolutely delicious and with the drinks it was a perfect combo! I'm not sure if they change that side vendor or if they are a semi permanent partner with them, but I love that they offer small businesses an opportunity to sell their foods. I was told that they used to be located in a different area or accessing brewery was through another area so pay attention to signs, especially for their nearby parking. Although we had no issues finding this space! To end our fabulous book club meeting, we of course, had to take our festivities to the Photo Booth. Such a fun and cute little touch too and already cute place. I loved it and I hope I can catch one of the World Cup games here!

Came here today with a group of 12 for a fantasy football draft. We arrived around 12:15 PM and…read morestayed until about 4:30, ordering drinks throughout the entire time, so it wasn't like we were taking up space without supporting the business. Unfortunately, the service and overall attitude from most of the bartenders made the experience pretty terrible. There was a lot of eye-rolling, annoyed looks, and just a general feeling that our group was bothering them every time we came up to order. We also asked about gluten-free options, and nobody seemed to know what was available or could give us a clear answer. The one exception was Christina, who was wearing a green hoodie today. She was actually friendly and helpful, and I appreciate her for treating us normally. I understand that a group of 12 can be busy to deal with, but we were paying customers ordering drinks for over four hours. We shouldn't feel like an inconvenience every time we approach the bar. The brewery itself has potential, but the attitude from the staff completely killed the vibe for us. Based on today's experience, I wouldn't come back.

It looks like the only food they sell themselves is cookies at the counter. Got to try a few of the bevs before making my selection. I really don't like hoppy beers and ended up with the Two Wheeler, a lavender sour. It tasted just as expected and I enjoyed it. I also tried the tropical sour (not very sour) and the wild beer which was funky and fun. Drinks were on the affordable side- order and pay at the counter; and the trivia was pure entertainment (we lost btw). They have a tiny parking lot, which was full by the time we showed up, especially with a few of the spaces taken up by the food vendor. It was easy to park down the street and take a short walk over.

Couple years has passed but finally made it. First impressions: it has the vibes of a startup brewery. It has video games in the back, bar seating, and tvs for us to watch some FIFA. Honestly this place was a better experience than commonspace. Better beers and better service. There was a stout here i wasn't a fan off here but everything else I liked. Berliner Weiss beers? Two wheeler terrific. I did wish parking here was bigger, I believe there was only 3 spots and it's off the main street. This place can be difficult to find but worth going on your next beer crawl list.

So the subtitle of this place says "Filipino inspired pizzas"…read more.. I arrived around 7:30 on a Tuesday night for some pizza and a beer. Based on Yelp reviews and pics which showed the pizza. Ready to go all in on the Jeepney (out of curiosity. I've never actually been to the Philippines, so wouldn't have been able to judge). Bartender says, "um. We're pretty low on food" and proceeds to cover the entire bottom half of the menu (which is the pizza), leaving only the bar bites as available. So: heated up frozen pretzel was solid. And hot when delivered. The beer was tasty. Could prob warrant a fourth star for the space. But since I walked almost two miles for the pizza, and now have to solve separately for dinner, pretty disappointed. So was gonna do three stars. But Todd (the bartender) was super nice at the end, gave me the back story (busy weekend = no pizza), so redeemed the fourth star. Will prob go back to try the pizza. Just not on a Tuesday.

They also have a newly opened location in Echo Park and another location in Anaheim if you can't get to this one. If you haven't tried this place, you have to! It's my favorite local brewery and I'm sure it'll be yours too. Don't forget to grab some beers to take home. Come one, come all! Cheers!

Beers good, ambience is better. Locally known for years as the spot for excellent beer. All is true…read morebut with all good things there is one thing lacking and that's decent seating. Yes, there's benches and a small faux grass area. But these benches, let me tell you, are T.R.A.S.H.! As much foot traffic comes through here, it's down right disappointing and shows how cheap a business can be. Like I said, the beers good, but when you sit on benches that I wouldn't donate to a public school, that a big oh hell no. It's been like this for at least the last 3-4 years. The staff is top notch very welcoming and reasonably fast at pouring. Kudos to them.

You can find the truck schedule on the website as it is something different everyday and every week. Most of the food trucks are 10/10 and there are some days they have live music. It's perfect for a little gathering, there are plenty of parties for work or small groups of friends that come here. All of the workers, even the food truck workers are very kind, efficient and fast. The brewtenders are so patient, fun and helpful, they always make you feel so welcomed. The beer list changes occasionally and there are their staple beers that stay. I come about once every other week if not once a week to enjoy the sunset with great food and great beers.

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!

Our downside (and almost gave a 2/3 star because of this) the parking and signage- or lack there of. The lot that their one sign say don't park here- go there.. that lot has warnings all over saying "bizhouse only" "bizhouse permit required". Also no signage showing how the lot connects back over to sugarmonkey. Really really frustrating. Yeah, sure there's street parking, if you can find it. Please work with the neighboring properties to add some signage. We work locally and folks would love this (many hadn't heard of it) but with the hard parking I can see many blowing this off.
