    This was smaller than I thought, but a great place to check out. The outdoor seating was beautiful, they allowed dogs and kids and it was cool to check out. The beers were good for us, we had a couple and just hanged out during a nice afternoon

    Thursday Night Trivia at Monkish.

    Came here to celebrate a friend's birthday, but to also try our brains and knowledge on Trivia Night at Monkish. Also had some of their many flavors and styles of micro-brew. I like that they let you sample and on their trivia nights, they have a selection of beers on special. They do not offer any food here, but since they are in the Anaheim Packing District property, get your food to go and enjoy it with the right pairing of microbrew.

    In short, it's a hidden gem with great beer, just needs a little more weather-proof space. I came here with a buddy after hearing another friend rave about Monkish making his favorite beer. Surprisingly enough, parking was challenging because it's right next to the Anaheim Packing District, which loves up to its name by always being packed. So we parked down the street and around the corner, took a shortcut through the Packing District, and through a festive, lit walkway to the brewery. The place is pretty spartan on decor, but has a nice covered outdoor patio that is surrounded by foliage. Unfortunately, the covering was not waterproof, and it was raining pretty heavily rendering the searing wet and unusable. Inside, however, we were able to find a couple seats. We both tried a couple Belgians, which were strong and delicious. The guy at the register really knew his menu, gave great recommendations, and let us sample a couple to help us to decide what to drink. The limited holiday ones we tried especially were great. Overall, great spot to enjoy a good brew or two. I'll come back when the weather is better so I can enjoy the patio.

    For fans of sour beers, this is a gem. They have lots of good sours. There is not that many seats inside but why stay in when you can bring your beers out, and enjoy the sunshine while sipping those tasty bevs? I recommend making a stop at this brewery if you're in the area.

    This is one of my favorite breweries! Relaxed vibe with plenty of seating. Service is always great with chill people working. I am always impressed by the beer here!!! Definitely one of the better breweries in the area consistently. Please just note that parking in this area is simply terrible. Plan ahead!

    Amazing beers if you're a Hazy fan. Good amount of seating. TVs at the bar. Highly recommend.

    Such a fun spot to grab a beer and hangout with friends. After coming to the Pop up farmers market this was perfect t to grab a beer and hang with friends. They had a fun vendor selling burgers as well and they smelled so good. Loved the little garden area and the tables and inside you can sit as well kinda like a bar area and they had TVs as well to catch a game.. fun spot for sure. We have one close to our home but love that they had a smaller location elsewhere.

    This place has some of the best IPAs around. I used to drive to Torrance location but I no longer have the need to do that since Anaheim is much closer to me. The inside is pretty small but they do have a nice size outdoor patio area. I definitely enjoy the vibes here, listening to underground Hip Hop while sipping on a cold beer, you can't beat that. The parking can be a headache due to the fact that it's right next to the Anaheim Packing District. Great establishment, great vibes, friendly attentive staff, and a great selection of beers, this place has my recommendation!

    Always a good vibe with nice and friendly service! Beer selection is always killer. A must visit every time in Cali.

    Absolutely adored the selection of craft beers at Monkish. I was recommended this place by my photo group and it was well decorated for the spooky season vibes. Line was relatively smooth and ample space for relaxing. Great spot!!

    Hellish German Lager
    Deb T.

    My bf and I stumbled upon this brewery as we finished eating dinner at Georgia's. OMG! This area is amazing! I had no idea it existed until I searched for Soul Food places. We ordered the Hellish German Ale as we wanted something light as we stuffed ourselves. The brewery wasn't packed, and I loved the outdoor seating. The beer was delicious, which is what I was expecting. I can't comment on the price as it was my bf's treat, but I'm sure it didn't break the bank for two pints. The servers were sweet and, as a Hello Kitty fanatic, I about lost my mind when I saw a Twin Stars Stout. I didn't realize how terrible the parking is, so I broke down and parked valet. The best $10 I ever spent because ALL of the street parking was taken. There is so much to do near the brewery that we are going to spend more time hanging out on our next visit.

    The beer and service are excellent. The parking is not great in this area but I managed.

    Second time dropping in here when I come back home to visit. This location was recommended to us by a fellow beer snob back home in AZ and it is still one of our favorite beer stops and recommendations. Service is top tier. They always take care of us and make the best recommendations. Highly recommend this brewery. When weather permits it--sit outside and enjoy a cold brew!

Think of it like a Slurpee, Icee, or frosé, but that base is actually beer, chilled to perfection. Our slushies are typically just straight beer, but as some styles can change flavor once they are super cold, we may add agave syrup or additional purees to some slushie releases to achieve a frozen flavor that is closer to how the beer would taste as a regular draft pour. .

Radiant made my dad's celebration of life truly unforgettable. Caitlin Mikasa, the General Manager, was kind, responsive, accommodating, and wonderful to work with from start to finish. She helped plan every detail, and our guests repeatedly praised the delicious food, excellent beer, and outstanding service. Kane, our bartender, was warm and welcoming and struck the perfect balance between respect for the occasion and celebration of a life well lived. I would highly recommend Radiant for any special event. The space, food, beer, atmosphere, and staff were all exceptional. I'll always be grateful that we were able to honor my dad--a TV director, guitar player, classic car collector, and very cool guy--in such a fitting place.

As soon as you walk in, you are transported to an asylum with cool decor to go with the theming and a big room with pinball machines... my favorite! The guy working at the brewery was pretty chill and gave us the rundown on the most popular brews. I ended up trying the Virgin Blood seltzer and Intensive Care. Both were pretty good and paired well with the chips I kept adding to our tab. I was really interested in ordering a hot dog, but they were still cooking, and since we were bar hopping didn't get a chance to. I am curious to see how busy this location gets on an event night because parking is along the street and can be difficult to find a space if the adjacent lot is full.

    1 star -- Great beer, terrible customer service…read more This place is a literal dump. The only reason I'm giving it one star is because the beer and seltzers are actually great. Unfortunately, the customer service is beyond awful. When you have a bartender who repeatedly talks over customers so he can carry on a conversation with his buddy instead of actually helping the people standing at the bar, there's a problem. To make matters worse, the staff was not friendly or welcoming at all. Furthermore, the manager was up front cussing away as if we were not there. Professional much? No. Unacceptable. And the bathrooms? Absolutely disgusting. The stalls were trashed, and there were no toilet seat liners. The overall condition was unacceptable and made the entire experience even worse. Whoever owns this place needs to do better. A business should care about the customers who support it and the community it's part of--not just the money coming in. There's a reason we haven't been back in four years, and this brief visit only confirmed why. Great beer can only carry a business so far. Do better.
