    Some kind of martini. Haha. Delicious! It has fruit juices, brandy and peach cider.

    Delicious food and great service! Got the quesadilla with chicken and chips and salsa. Yummmmmmm.

    Great vibes indeed! They offer a good selection of bar foods on their menu, from burgers to burritos. You'll sure to find something you will enjoy. They have all day breakfast, and trivia nights on Tuesdays. I only tried their tater tots, which was good. My only complaint was that they need to make the portions more generous! The inside is, cozy and intimate, I love the design. A great place for a date or or a place to come by and relax during the week after a long day. Have a seat on their patio for a good view of downtown Santa Monica.

    This was an absolute gem! We went for dinner and it happened to be trivia night. So we stuck around and it was a great time! The food was good, service was great! It was just overall a super cool place to go for dinner and a fun night out.

    As a regular at the Carson location I was excited to check this out and I was not disappointed! It was surprisingly empty for a Friday night but despite its busy location there was plenty of meter street parking and even a parking garage in the street over. It feels boujee on the inside and I loved the intimidate set up. The workers were all very friendly and helpful too. The food and drink menu was pretty big. There are a lot of shareable that perfect to go with some drinks. We got a pitcher of the bombegranate cider which is my favorite but some of the cocktails seemed really interesting too. The shareable steak was pretty decent and cooked well. The fries seemed like end pieces though and our whole batch only had really small ones or half pieces so it was kinda disappointing. Overall I would still come back here, SoCal is my favorite brewery so it's cool to see them expanding!

    Had great service form Chris and the other bartender. Really enjoyed the shrimp skewers and fries. Boyfriend got the chicken sandwich with Swiss cheese and was also pleased. Super busy during World Cup but they managed to make it feel easy!

    So so excited this place opened up! I have been to the Venice location a couple of times and it doesn't even compare to this one. The space is great! It's spacious, comfortable and such a vibe. There is ample seating which just isn't a thing at the other location plus the staff here are awesome. Everyone is so friendly, accommodating and attentive. We came here last night with two friends and got everything pretty quickly. The menu is great! It's honestly such a great deal for what you get and the ciders are amazing. The sex wax is so good and as far as cocktails go I thought the mangotini was excellent! The food was also great; we got some fries, tacos and a wrap and no complaints. We live down the street and are looking forward to coming here regularly. Definitely stop by and grab some great drinks and a good time vibe )

    Great food, delicious drinks, and DJs who know how to keep the energy up, all backed by a killer sound system. The vibes here are always on point, and you can't beat the location in the heart of Santa Monica, just steps from the pier.

    Great ambiance vibe and bar service! Definitely recommend to stop by. Beer was great and service was amazing.

    Beautiful!

    I'm not sure where to start with this place! It might be the incredible "California vibes" that you get as soon as you enter to the moment you leave (go to the bathroom...trust me)...or the way everything just feels effortlessly dialed in. The ambience alone is a 10/10. It's relaxed but intentional, stylish without trying too hard, and somehow manages to feel both like a laid-back beach spot and a place you'd pick for a special night out. You really feel like you're in Santa Monica, in the best way possible. The service was just as impressive. Everyone was prompt, genuinely friendly and clearly knew the menu inside and out. The recommendations were spot on, which made the whole experience feel easy and unrushed, like they actually want you to enjoy yourself, not just turn tables. And the food...honestly, no notes. Every single thing we tried was a hit. We had one of every appetizer. Esther's meatballs were rich and comforting, the shrimp skewers were perfectly cooked and flavorful and the ceviche was bright and fresh without being overly acidic. I heard that this is a secret family recipe! The steak appetizer was tender and satisfying. The cheese plate was thoughtfully put together with a variety of cheeses, jams and nuts!!! AWESOME! I've been thinking about the tiramisu since we left! It deserves its own review! All homemade in-house, The tiramisu deserves its own moment. It wasn't just an afterthought dessert. It felt like a carefully finished chapter to the entire meal. Perfectly balanced, not overly sweet, with that ideal contrast between the light, airy mascarpone and the rich espresso-soaked layers beneath it. You could actually taste the coffee without it overpowering everything else, and the texture was spot on. I'm talking bout SOFT, CREAMY and indulgent without feeling heavy. I THINK I COULD TASTE THE LOVE that I know they made it with!!! What really stood out was how fresh it tasted. Nothing soggy, nothing overly dense, just clean flavors that came together effortlessly. It's the kind of tiramisu you keep taking "one more bite" of, even when you're already full, and then immediately regret not ordering a second one to go. If you're even remotely considering dessert here, don't skip it!!! This alone is worth coming back for. The drinks deserve just as much credit, especially if you're into ciders or brandy. We went with the cider flight, which was easily one of the most fun parts of the day. It's a great way to sample a range of flavors, and honestly, every single one we tried was a hit. The life's a peach was bright and refreshing, the chai pumpkin spice somehow managed to be seasonal without being overwhelming...The Mexican lollipop (watermelon habanero) was my partners favorite and had that perfect sweet-heat balance that sneaks up on you in the best way! They also make their own apple brandy so if you're feeling fun get one! I think the Mangotini is a must. It's a mango-forward cocktail that leans into those tropical flavors without being overly sweet and it comes served in a tiki glass that immediately sets the tone. It's one of those drinks that turns heads when it hits the table and somehow tastes even better than it looks. Fun, well-balanced and very on-brand for the whole SoCal vibe of the place. I think I had 2 or 3 of them and I was feeling GREAT! Overall, this place just gets it. Great food, great people, great energy. It's one of those spots you immediately want to come back to and bring friends along. If you're around...or even if you're not, this place is WORTH THE TRIP!!!!

    This place is phenomenal! The food, portions, vibe and service are some of the best online DTSM. I tried the tacos and burgers, both are super tasty! Local here so I'm always happy to try out the new neighborhood spots. I absolutely will be coming back and recommend it to friends and clients.

    All really good

    Just perfect Black Cherry Brandy, Cantelope Cider, hot mango chips, kind staff, gentle music, I made it. Santa Monica Beach too!

    The most incredible beach bar with the best vibes + music. Incredibly friendly staff and bartenders along with beautiful drinks, delicious food and gorgeous decor. Just a short walk from the beach. Will absolutely return here!

    Firestone Walker brewing Company is one of my favorite dining experiences that I've had recently. …read more The vibes, the lighting, the openness of it. I was thoroughly impressed. The servers were awesome. They always stopped by checking in on you. Make sure we have everything we need. They were available. Loved it. So I got the Firestone fried chicken sandwich and it was absolutely delicious. The first thing I wanna say is it was massive you're not getting cheated or scammed out of your money proportions are phenomenal and the sandwich is delicious. The chicken was fried perfect nice crispy juicy tons of flavor. The bacon was cooked perfectly also very crispy very crunchy and the sauce the jalapeño slaw on the potato bun. It's a great combo. I was thoroughly thoroughly impressed with a sandwich.. the fries well season nice crispy that this was a great experience. I had a blast year. I would come back 10 times out of 10.

We went at 4pm on Saturday and got seated inside at a booth for a party of 3. The hostess explained to us that we could order from a QR CODE on the table or from a sever but a sever never came tomorrow table to greet us or take our order. We had to get our own water which they had available at our he bar. Once we ordered from the QR Code our orders would come out. They came out in pieces, not all together so some people got drinks and food and some were still waiting. Servers would drop off food/drinks but nothing else. They didn't give us appetizer plates or peppers/cheese for our pizza. No one came to ask if we were doing okay and we had to look for someone to ask for to go boxes for our leftovers. The food and beer was good but the service was terrible.

    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!

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.

Rumors say the place is for sale, and one of the problems is that they constantly are changing the menu.

This also wasn't the first time. On several recent visits, the same customer sits in the corner working on his laptop while allowing his large black-and-brown dog to wander throughout the restaurant instead of keeping it close by. It made both friends and myself uncomfortable enough that we chose to leave each time. As someone who was attacked by a dog as a child, this is especially difficult for me. I actually have a dog of my own, so this isn't about disliking dogs. I completely understand that this is a very dog-friendly neighborhood, and I have no issue with dogs when they're leashed, supervised, and under their owner's control. I hope the restaurant returns to enforcing those expectations so everyone--including guests who may have fears, allergies, or simply prefer not to have dogs roaming around--can enjoy the space again. I've always liked this place and would love to feel comfortable coming back.
