Angel City Brewery

Housed in an expansive, century-old building in the Arts District, Angel City Brewery is one of the neighborhood's rock-solid day drinking spots—with the weekend crowds to match. There’s a chance Angel City may close by April 2026 (assuming that its parent company, Boston Beer, is unable to find a buyer), so we should enjoy Angel City while we still can. The former warehouse space keeps that industrial feel and plenty of room to spread out among picnic tables while you sip on IPAs, pilsners, lagers and limited releases. Tacos & Trivia Tuesdays bring beer nerds together each week, while karaoke, art shows, yoga, food pop-ups and one-off events make this communal gathering space a place for more than just beer. If you’re a first-timer, the classic Angeleno IPA is a solid choice with a bold, grapefruit-infused flavor.
