Pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere during the recent chess and mahjong event. Downstairs under the night sky there was a rowdy bunch huddling around the advanced mahjong tables. A bicycling group stopped by for a quick breather in the lot before heading back out. Event organizers were shuffling unsuspecting casual onlookers into playing regulars. In and around the brewery, focused chess matches were set up in dimly lit cosmic lighting, a stark contrast to the commotions from the music and the Lakers game on TV. Upstairs inside the brewery the attendees traded the cool, evening air for a noticeably stuffier experience. The space contained mostly beginner mahjong games as well as chess matches. I had the chance to engage in both activities and had a blast even though I got my butt kicked. Would love to come back and play a few more rounds with a drink in hand. read more

Homage Brewing - Chess night - Wine Bars Near Me - Los Angeles, California

First time here and I'm really glad I decided to stop by while killing time before a meeting near Chinatown. The ambiance immediately stood out, great music, relaxed vibe, and even pet-friendly. They were also showing the Dodger game, which made the whole experience feel even more lively. I ordered one of their hoppy beers along with the scallop crudo with tostadas. The food did take a little while to come out, but honestly, it was worth the wait. I was a bit skeptical at firs, the presentation included tangerines and mint, which I'd never had with scallops before but the flavor combination totally worked. Everything tasted fresh, and balanced. The tostadas came out warm, which was a nice surprise. It made me wonder if they're handmade tortillas. Overall, a great experience from start to finish. Good vibes, solid food, and a place I'd definitely come back to. read more

Our go to spot, especially for sours! It's usually not crazy busy like Highland Park Brewing. It's on the same block so parking can get a little tricky. We came on a Friday afternoon to grab some lunch and get work done. We got their current special of chicken Caesar sandwich and it was quite tasty. The chicken was hot and crispy and they added a good amount of dressing and parmesan cheese. It had a pretty strong taste which I'm assuming is coming from the dressing so it may be off-putting for some people. We tried the vegan oyster mushroom sandwich on focaccia and that was quite tasty as well! I didn't need to use the hot sauce that came with it - it was that tasty! Their beer selection isnt huge but they're solid. Definitely recommend!! read more

I had the best time at their World Cup watch party. I'm not a beer drinker, but maybe I just hadn't tried a good beer before. I had the Pink Guava and El Hijo. The Pink Guava was fruity and perfect for transitioning into a more classic beer taste as someone who doesn't normally reach for a beer. The El Hijo really surprised me, it was fresh, crisp, and I loved the blue corn notes at the end. Flawless pouring as well and the staff handled the crowd very well. The back up and long lines they experienced had more to do with a tap beer shortage and people only being able to order food and drinks at the front, not at tables. Many people ended up standing for a spot at their event anyways. Despite the high energy and big turnout for their watch party, I see this brewery being typically laid back. This is somewhere I could imagine bringing a laptop or spending a calm afternoon with friends. I also love the layout of the bar. They have high ceilings, balcony and patio seating, and the entrance is wide open. Each seat felt like a good seat. I will be back! read more

Definitely a cool vibe and a great place to hang if you're attending an event at LA Historic Park across the street. Fries were yummy but a bit sparse for the price. Didn't love that they only had 1 wine option despite their website stating otherwise. And unfortunately it wasn't that great so I just had the one glass and went next door to Highland Brewery. However I did love all the seating peppered throughout. read more

They are located right around the corner from Highland Park Brewery so we checked it out. Someone I know really loves them so we figured, why not check it out. I think we visited on a day where the menu just didn't really resonate with us. Nothing really hit for us. Beers I tried: Here Comes the Cold Pils: Very bitter upfront. Mellows out as you drink Symphonic Flowers: this was not on untappd so I didn't record any notes Saison Spritz: Slightly bitter. You can taste the Chardonnay notes I will need to go back on another visit. read more

Was in the area on a Sunday night at my friends apartment and needed some food. Unfortunately, very few food options within easy walking distance aside from the breweries. Friends suggested Homage Brewing, which was fine since I hadn't been here before. I find that breweries consistently seem to have some very good food items. Decided on The Classic Cheeseburger. Very very good burger. Had a nice meaty flavor to it. It was also very well made and made for a great photo! Service was pretty straightforward here. Order at the counter, grab a number, and find a seat so they can bring the food over. Overall, very friendly staff. Wouldn't mind trying some of the other items on the menu. Maybe the Double Smashburger, as that was recommended by my friends. read more

Homage Brewing is one of the several breweries in Chinatown in this part of neighborhood (the other being Highland Park Brewery) and Homage Brewing plays Dodgers games as they proudly display Dodgers flag. Homage has the flagship location in Pomona and this is the 2nd location. [Parking]: Street parking only and it can be slightly difficult to find an available spot. Not super easy to find a spot on Saturday night as there's another popular brewhouse (Highland Park Brewery) located just a block away. [Atmosphere]: The brewery has a dog friendly outdoor patio. This brewery has a pretty chill and good hang out vibe here. Self-serve water station is located near the counter. Customers can order at the counter, grab a number, and wait for their food to arrive. [Menu]: They offer draft beer (light & crispy, Belgian, hoppy, dark, and saisons), wine (white, red, skin contact, sparking, 750 ml saison bottles, cocktails), non-alcoholic drinks. They have offer limited kitchen food selection like fries, salad, wings, tacos, and burgers. *** Double Smashburger (2 beef patties / ketchup / mustard / onion / pickles / American cheese / brioche bun - $15): The burger tasted quite good and they used ketchup instead of slices of tomato. The burger was not super fancy but got the job done. *** Homage Brewing is a great spot for anyone who want to hang out at a brewhouse with (1) less crowd, (2) solid beer options, and (3) don't mind smaller food selection. read more

Been here a few times and every single time, its been a great experience. The seating set up this brewery offers is also great! You have some counter space at the bar, some picnic tables in a covered patio outdoors, some round tables and even a room upstairs for a bit more of a quiet space. I haven't been in the evenings but have heard that its a great spot to be at with some dancing and great music. Service was pretty straightforward here. Order at the counter, grab a number, and find a seat so they can bring the food over. The last time I went, I went to the counter to order some food and a beer and boy was I glad there was a dodger game happening that day since they had a great deal on the beer I ordered on that day. Instead of getting the smaller pour, I had the next size up for the same price! See, I'm telling ya, this place is cool! They have some light beers that are outstanding such as their City Pop (jasmine rice light lager.. this one is a must for any first timer here), they have some hoppy beers that include a variety of IPAs as well as some dark beers and saisons. What's even better about Homage is that if you arent feeling like a beer on that day.. they have some cocktails, red and white wine and even a sparkling Vin Mousseux. Don't feel like alcohol?? No worries; they also have you covered with some non alcoholic ipa or a non alcoholic lager, sodas, topo chico and even a cold brew tonic! I had the pleasure of meeting Edward on my visit and he was great! I loved that he made sure the tables were clean and made sure you didn't wait long for your food or your drinks. Outside food is not allowed but no need since they have some tasty food here. Their smash burger was killer! They sometimes also have seasonal items like currently their Oktoberfest menu that has a chicken schnitzel sandwich, fish tacos, chicken wings and even a vegan sandwich. Another important thing for me.. is that it is dog friendly! My dog was chillen next to me eyeing my burger as I got some reading in while drinking a cold one on a nice Saturday afternoon. Don't have a dog? I did see some kids around while I was there on that afternoon. ****** Dog Friendly ****** read more

Checked out Homage Brewery at the recommendation of my boyfriend and had a great time together!! Located in the Chinatown area, its super spacious with lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Staff were friendly and they had different football games up via projectors. Got myself the City Pop, a jasmine rice lager, which was light and did have some faint rice flavors. The saison peche tea was a little too tangy for me, but man I loved the chrysanthemum aroma that was super prominent!! Pet and kid friendly. Wifi available. Bathrooms were clean. Street parking but wasn't too hard during the day. Would come back if we were in the area again! read more

4 stars: the place has wifi (drinkmorebeer), it has 4 seating areas that are all different and cool! The music is playing loud next to the DJ booth! 3 stars: the ppl seem ok cool, everyone's into their guests and I'm here by myself on my laptop which I wasn't bothered by the staff but they are eyeing me lol 2 stars: the restrooms are NASTY! Clean them asap! Smells like piss and dirty toilets! Noooooo! But overall I'd come back to lounge, and get my laptop! Cool projectors playing movies on the wall too! Tall ceilings and a 2nd level but it's closed! read more

Always love the food and beer at Homage no matter what time of day. And their music is always good!

Came here to grab a drink before a Dodger game. They are right around the corner from Highland Park Brewery. They are tucked in a small warehouse space with limited outdoor parking. The inside is really nice though, with good ventilation, seating and a projector to watch games. Beer was tasty and the service was friendly. They also have special deals on pitchers and they sell food too. read more

Great unassuming little brewery in Chinatown with a solid selection of beer and wines. Cool vibes with heaters inside as well if you're feeling chilly which was a nice touch I was not expecting.

Homage Brewing - Wine Bars Near Me - Los Angeles, California

First off the place is nice and welcoming and a good find if visiting the Chinatown area and an easy walk from neighbor Highland Park Brewing. But sadly I am not a fan of the main product - the Beer. The beer is just so so to this beer aficionado. I tried a couple of their IPAs (west coast and hazy) and both were not my jam. I've had Homage a few other times in cans and it just confirms we are not a match - I think they are famous for their sours and farmhouse and possibly they use the same yeast that makes the IPAs taste a little different to me. Sorry, just sharing my truth - it's not Homage, but me. read more

Went during one of the dodgers World Series games and it did get full pretty quickly but there was still enough space for everyone to sit since there's seating upstairs as well. Not a rowdy bar at all . The service here is friendly and quick for the drinks. Their fruits beers are delicious! The nachos were just okay but we don't really come here for the food 10/10 recommend the strawberry beer! Second time coming here & we always order this bottle read more

Beer was ehh. Plenty of room to hang out. Food selection was minimal but okay to get a snack.

Pros: Food was good. Beer was tasty. Indoor and outdoor seating. Pet friendly, kid friendly. Cons: You order standing up, so be prepared to stand in line and wait to order as if you're at a fast food restaurant (but still be asked for a full tip as if someone is waiting on your table). Place is priced pretentiously, so be prepared to pay like you're going to a cocktail joint rather than a brewery. read more

Was trying to think of something fun for a date and came across this place on Resident Advisor. I love a good DJ set, and I was surprised to see this was at a brewery! But here's the thing - I actually don't drink. THE DRINKS: Super fun drink selection for the beer drinkers, and my friend was impressed! For me, I was surprised to see that they actually had something non-alcoholic on tap. I ordered a sparkling jasmine tea which was delicious. SERVICE: Good service - they answered all the questions we had, especially with me asking for non-alcoholic options. VIBES: BLOWN AWAY by the vibes!! One thing about me - I love disco balls and they had one spinning around which automatically bumped up the points on this one. They were projecting anime on the wall before the DJ came on. The music started and her set was amazing. We were there early-ish, but people were already dancing. A small dance floor but a good amount of space. BOTTOM LINE: Definitely need to come back and stay a bit later. Great for a group of both drinkers and non-drinkers. read more

Really great for a Sunday Funday ordeal Always got good seating and you can bring your puppy. Wish they had more food options around or nearby, you can bring your own food of course but there isn't too many things walking area. For some reason theres alot of skaters hanging there always. I can't speak on much of the options since I dont drink beer, there is a decent red wine nothing special. Theres a dance floor sort of , they have people spin but people don't really dance dance as its sort of small. I'd say good place for a first time date read more

Small warehouse space near Chinatown. Didn't even know it existed. Nice, quiet, breezy. Super hipster. Open garage. They have a movie projector which is a nice touch to entice customers to hang out longer. Scooby Doo movie was playing. Options for beer to go. Small craft menu. Very cute spot. I would totally work from that space. Would have loved to check out the upstairs area but sadly it was closed off. Dog friendly. Parking on the street or there is a lot down the street. read more

Another long overdue review. Homage is a staple in the LA brewing scene. The space hosts lots of fun disco dance nights, as this location is open until 2 am. The food options are definitely elevated for a brewery and there's a small window where you can watch as your meal is made to order. I usually enjoy pairing the hamachi crudo with a crispy tristeza Pilsner. They have a great rotation of barrel-aged fruited sours both on tap and sometimes in bottles to go. The releases are typically on Saturdays and start about $30 a bottle with limits per person. Overall it's a bright spacious bar, dog friendly, with a vintage locals only type of vibe. Plus $5 pours on days with dodger games for a nice pregame! read more

Ugh love this place. Homage Brewing is one of those breweries that just gets it -- great beer, chill atmosphere, and a staff that makes you feel like a regular even if it's your first time. The rice lager deserves its own paragraph. Clean, crisp, refreshing, and insanely drinkable. It's the kind of beer you take one sip of and immediately think, "Oh yeah... I'm definitely getting another." Light but flavorful, smooth without being boring -- honestly one of the best rice lagers I've had in LA/Chinatown area. The space itself is relaxed but thoughtfully curated. Lots of natural light, plenty of seating, and that mix of trendy-but-not-trying-too-hard that makes you want to stick around. It's comfortable whether you're out with friends, on a date, or just grabbing a solo beer after work. One of the coolest things about Homage is the different mood nights they rotate through. Some nights feel vibey and social, others are more mellow with great playlists, and sometimes they lean into themed evenings that give the place a totally different energy. It keeps things fresh and makes it feel like there's always something new to come back for. And the beer selection? Wide, fun, and extremely well-crafted. They've got everything from clean lagers to funky sours to well-balanced IPAs, and even people who "don't really drink beer" can find something they enjoy. The variety shows how much intention goes into their brewing program. The staff is genuinely one of the highlights -- friendly, patient, super knowledgeable, and clearly proud of what they serve. They make great recommendations without being pushy, and they create an environment that feels welcoming no matter who walks in. Overall: Homage Brewing nails the combination of top-tier beer, great atmosphere, and a warm community vibe. Whether you're here for a crisp rice lager, new releases, or just a chill hang, it's one of the best brewery experiences in the area. read more

Hipster out of the way local brewery, serving beers in an open garage concept. A little toasty on a hot summer day, but it would be a perfect hang on a cooler day. Big Ass fans save the day. They have a dj space and dance events. Located close to the ballpark and LA historic park if you are hitting up a music venue there. read more

A chill spot to hang out and grab a beer on a warm summer night. I love the open layout between the outdoor and indoor seating. The food was delishhh!! I got the chopped salad and spicy wings, both solid and paired perfectly with their brewed beers. I was craving sours and cider and they had exactly what I wanted, with a great selection straight from the tap. Service was nice and they'll even let you sample if you're unsure, just be ready to wait standing in line. read more

Service 4.5/5 Atmosphere 4.5/5 Overall 5/5 Homage Brewing is an excellent brewery to meet with your friends! They have both great beer and a solid natural wine selection. In comparison to other breweries in the surrounding area there is actually fantastic food served in-house. A lot of the breweries in the Chinatown and Arts District area do not have in-house food menu, and if they do the food is somewhat mediocre. But at Homage the drinks and food are delicious! On weekdays, Homage isn't as busy and is a great date night spot! The food comes out quick and the lines for drinks are much shorter. Definitely recommend date night at Homage! read more

I was looking for a brewery with indoor and out door seating to enjoy a perfect LA June day and this place hit all the requirements!

Drinks were great, we had $5 garlic fries, what's there not to love?? I will definitely be back! read more

incredible service, vibes were great, order the wings! would definitely visit with my group again!

One of the favorite breweries / beers spots among my beer loving friends. Probably gained more popularity from their sours, but they make a variety of styles really well. Seeing the dark beers or stouts seem to be more rare here though. They always seem to have delicious, beautiful looking food available (per some of the posts I've seen on IG). Most recently, I came here for Oktoberfest celebration and they had some themed food items to order to go along with the beer. The service is always friendly and efficient. Ambiance is always lively and they tend to play the music I grew up with (New Order and some other new wave faves). One of my friends helps supply some of the fruit for some of their beers as well. The outside of the building seems to be a European style/ look or at least the pictures I've seen from some Belgium spots (I've never been). The inside is deceptively large because you walk through and back into and open area. I've never been, but I think they have an upstairs area as well. Overall, I think this is a fantastic place for hard core and casual beer lovers alike. read more

great vibes, great wine & great tunes! Line was a little long to order but moved along pretty quickly .

Really liked this spot! The menu, although limited was full of bangers. The smashed potatoes with aioli was so perfect, nearly everyone had some on their table. Burgers were perfect, classic pub burger. Chicken wings were so crispy and uniquely flavored, not your typical franks hot sauces buffalo, but a super crispy crunchy flavorful juicy wing. Nice open space with lots of room to get around including a pretty spacious outdoor patio. We went on a rainy day but inside was really nice minimalist warehousey feel with a fun disco ball that lit up as the sunset. Also despite the lack of kid space, it was really kid friendly and oddly there were tons of kids and patrons were unbothered. My kids crashed a birthday party since they were located under the discoball and just joined the dancing . Beers are also stellar! Great lagers and sours! read more

Nice brewery down the street from the Los Angeles Historical Park. We brought our dog along and he was warmly welcomed inside (and given a treat). I had seen a picture of their smash burgers and had to try it. It did not disappoint. It was a little on the small side however. We also tried an order of the wings, which had a delicious hot honey type sauce on top, but a little bit too much paprika for my liking. I washed everything down with a sour beer and my boyfriend settled for a pale ale, since they didn't have a single IPA on draft. I knocked a star off for the lack of IPAs and the fact that they do not have TVs. That being said, I'd definitely return if in the area. read more
