The parking situation is difficult. The beer is great. There was plenty of seating so Im not sure why the parking was so bad. The burger pop-up was great! Definitely returning to try more beers.

Trivia on Tuesdays at 6:30 pm! Recommend getting there about 20 mins early since seating is limited for indoors and gets packed pretty quickly 10 mins before.They have an outdoor patio too, but you cant really hear well from there, but you should be able to play still since the trivia is done on a phone.A good selection of beer with fun space themed names. Its near SpaceX so it fits. They also serve six beer flights here too so a great way to sample their brews.On the weekends, they do some fun michelada style slushies too! Have to try that out soon!!

Just left, sat and enjoyed some great beer for several hours, then out the blue, we were told by a staff member and I quote, you need to get up out the table because its reserved. Sign on the table stated 12 noon to 1pm. So we questioned it, and I quote the answer from the staff member, well, the sign is wrong, you still need to move, these people need somewhere to sit. On a normal day, F U would have been the comeback, but its easier to take our money to someone that appreciates it. Never going back.

Fun spot with great beer. We were here on a Tuesday, and they had a delish taco truck which paired great with the beer. Outdoor seating and casual dining and a fun server named Daniella. Will be back when I’m in the area

Great place with a good selection of beers. Theyve got some outdoor space in addition to the bar inside. Service was fast and friendly and the beer selection featured a large variety. They had a good truck on site to provide something to eat which is always a welcome addition. Worth a visit if youre into beer.

The brewery has some interesting brews, the Karma Kolsch is so far my favorite. Food trucks rotate daily. They have board games and life size games like jenga as well as connect-four. Yes, there will always be a crowd of space-x employees but there are also other groups of people. Fyi- They also have a room you can rent out for events...

Review №27

Another fantastic brewery in the South Bay. This is a stand alone brewery with not much else around but industrial buildings. However, the place is a nice size, they constantly have food vendors, the beer selection will satisfy any beer snob palette, and the staff are cordial and attentive. This is a brewery where you can spend hours trying new beer styles, enjoying good food, and hanging out with friends and family. I have been several times and returned this last time for their 1 year anniversary party. What a great time!

Fantastic little brewery in the middle of warehouses. In addition to covering many German styles and West coast IPAs there are also very nice special one off special editions. The back patio has a chill vibe. Parking on weekends another plus.

I get they are still trying to work the kinks out, but thats no reason for being rude and unprofessional. Our reservation was set for 6, we got seated at 615, our food order was taken at 630 and beer order taken at 640. We had a 2 hour reservation. The lady that was checking people in straight out came to our table at 759 and told us we had to leave! We barely got all our food 10 minutes prior. She came back 5 minutes later and told us we had to leave again, with a few of our drinks still full.At 630 a different girl came by and said she would take our food order. But she straight out walked away after taking 2 out of 6 peoples order. She didnt even say anything..just walked away. Our waitress explained she was helping out but was just as dumbfounded on why she didnt take everyones order. This delayed our food by 30 minutes! Our actual waitress was extremely kind, and attentive..she should train the rest of the staff on how to deal with stressful situations. The beer gets 5 stars, our waitress gets 5 stars, everything else 1 star. This staff really needs to be retrained! 2 hours should be from the time your seated! Or at the very least when your order is taken. If you need us out by 8, you should of sat us at 6 or at least be nice and apologetic about it.

Wonderful beer, lovely people. If youre a SpaceX fan, you will love the references in some of the beers names - I drank a double IPA called Full Thrust :)If you came to Hawthorne to check out the landed Falcon and youre into craft beer, this is a must stop.

Great indoor and outdoor seating areas. Compliant with covid regulations, sanitary and safe. Will fill your growler. Growler and crowler fills of anything on tap. Great to-go selection of bottles and cans. Food menu is short but what you expect from a tap room with unique flavors; tamarind wings and mole wings. Excited to come back.

Ive always wanted a brewery to be my local bar. After moving to the area, dreams come true! Aside from my favorable bias, LA Ale Works has delivered nothing but top-notch selections and service the last few times weve been here. Looking forward to being here more, seeing the difference food truck vendors they have on the schedule, and seeing the new offering as theyre brewed. 🍻

Review №55

At first my wife and I had no idea at first a brewery was so close to our house. Our first time here it felt like the most laid back and chill tap room weve ever been to. A few visits later and we feel this is the best brewery weve been to from all the ones weve been to around to LA. Employees are the best and very outgoing and friendly. The various food trucks are so good too especially Wing Society! Their kitten beers are my favorite. First visit on a weekend but we had our first Geeks Who Drink event and its a very fun trivia night. Got most of them wrong but fun experience. Will definitely come back for their new releases and more kitten beers, stickers and paraphernalia. LA Ale Works might just be our go-to brewery, ever.

Breweries are popping up just about everywhere now a days and as long as the people are passionate for what theyre doing, Ill be there. The beer obviously comes pretty close but a brewery to me is more then just the beer on tap. The environment, the people, the brewers, the quality of beer, and most importantly the people that come into these establishments. Breweries have given us another place to have a casual beer and socialize for a bit. A lounge where you can bring kids and its not frowned upon.As most breweries steer away from kitchen issues, or becoming a trend of restaurant that brews beer type joints. These places are bringing local food trucks or caters to fill that void and save the food hassle. Food and beer solved. Now for the beer its good, and not just average good but pretty dam good. Ive had just about every beer they have on tap, satisfied.I have to say that I truly like the patio setting at this place. Super simple and inviting. The staff is always very helpful and friendly. I will warn you this place can get extremely packed mid week to weekend as spacex and Hawthorne airport are nearby. Cheers!

I love it here. They have amazing brews every time, and bonus when Bartz is there. Today they were serving up hot fried chicken, so so good! They have a really nice patio area with picnic tables and plenty of large umbrellas to keep you shaded and cool. Oversized games outside, like connect 4 and Kenya, and more games inside. Kid and dog friendly, great staff. What more can you ask for?!

Great selection of beers. At least 18 beers on tap. I had 2 of the beers and both were very good. Bathrooms were clean and staff was friendly. Plenty of seating available on the patio and inside. There were tons of Space-X and Tesla employees there. There was a Model 3 special announcement that was live streamed on the TVs so it was an extra busy night with Tesla workers. Drop your insecurities at the door and enjoy the beer and the great ambiance. Non Space-X people are just as welcome here as anyone else. Definitely will be back.

Nice brewery, modern, clean, good selection of board games, different food vendors and activities. Had one bad experience with customer service. Where I got skipped for a telephone call even though I was halfway with my order and then got skipped again by someone else in line.I understand not letting a phone call go unanswered, but if youre helping someone out in person, answer the call, politely put them on hold, and then go back to the call after.

Too many space x bros for my taste. Would given a zero star if I could. Been There a few times but felt like an outcast because of all the space x employees. Feels like a place exclusively catered to them. It felt like I needed a space x badge just to drink there.

At last, a brewery in Hawthorne and close to home! I stopped by on a Sunday and the beer varieties I tried were very tasty. If you are reasonable, you will get about half of a taster cup for free and a full one for $2; I have no issue with the charge since it should keep out the riff-raff :-).Unfortunately, the DJ playing the music had the volume Way too loud for a tasting room. I will remember to return on a weekday ....

Being from the East Coast and all of our good IPAs I had to visit the LAAW! This place has some fantastic beers, I tried a good number of them, and was happy with all of them! The atmosphere is very casual, friendly, and fun. The staff was extremely pleasant and helpful, not the typical beer snobs that can grace these venues. They typically have food trucks and make for great drunken munchies! I would highly recommend visiting on your next trip to LA, or if you have a layover at LAX, take an Uber over. Its worth it!
