The Brewery Los Angeles

Whether this place was cooler as a Pabst Blue Ribbon Brewery or as the thriving artist colony it is today could depend on your politics. If you aren’t quite sure, you’ll probably fit right in. The on-site bar and eclectic live-in crowd make it worth visiting. Stop by for the seasonal ArtWalk where resident artists open their studios.
