Always a good time here. Bring your favorite people and enjoy a fresh cold brew. The vibe here is always chill and fun. Bartenders are cool, friendly, and quick. Food is good with a nice variety although on the pricy side. One knock is the fried cauliflower. Just way too overwhelming, seasoned and saturated in sauce. But not a showstopper at all. Enjoy. Cheers.

First time here -- attended a friend's bday party where she reserved a few tables. So with that caveat, it was very nice to have our own space and then the convenience of just wearing a bracelet to order drinks. Also no worries about tipping or finding cash-- they roll that into everything keeping the experience really easy! I'm *not a beer person- I drank the cider (good!) and Diet Coke. Both were great. Also! You ca ln order from next door "Emmy Squared pizza" from a QR code on the table. Super easy and that was good too but that review will be on their page!

The best pizza and drink experience ever. I didn't even want to come here but the pizza was so phenomenal it completely lifted up my vibe. My husband's beer tasted delicious. I rather have what he was having to drink because it tasted better to me than the apple cider. Ok so OMG the pizza! I ordered the one with the ricotta cheese mushrooms and truffle oil and did extra on the ricotta cheese and mushrooms and omg it was just so great - I was on cloud 9 eating this and felt bad when it finished. Found some nice benches to sit on inside too. Great experience here and would go again when visiting the area.

Wonderful brewery serving great drink selection and offering ample seating both indoors and outdoors. The vibe at Santa Monica Brew Works is very inviting and friendly. Guests of all ages are welcome (toddlers, kids, young adults, older adults, dogs) and their outside/front yard seating is plentiful as it is inside as well. There is a nice selection of all beverages (mostly beers, some ciders and wine and some non alcoholic options). Flights are available too Emmy's Pizza is also right next to it and offer very tasty food options that go perfectly with drinking. All in all, fun spot and a wonderful establishment to have in the neighborhood.

They offer wide variety of beers on tap--from light, crisp lagers to bold and experimental ales that invite you to savor every sip.

Whether you're a dedicated craft beer enthusiast or just in the mood to try something new, Santa Monica Brewery is one of those special places you'll really enjoy.

Santa Monica Brew Works is a great local brewery with a very fun atmosphere! If you come here on a weekend, the seating can be limited, although there is ample seating - you just may have to sit outside not in the shade. Their beer selection is pretty decent but is very overpriced for a brewery. For a while, they had a great pistachio beer that I'd definitely recommend! I've also seen a number of private events being held here - they usually rope off a portion of the outdoor patio. While I've been tempted to host a birthday here, given the lack of umbrellas/general shade on the patio, I can't bring myself to do it. I know we live in LA for the sun but come on, I can't reasonably sit in the direct sun for hours at a time. On a separate note, they always seem to have ample parking as they share a parking lot with the medical center nearby. Sometimes I find myself taking one of the last spots but I've never not been able to secure a parking spot. There is probably street parking close by too but again, I've never been desperate to find out. Given that this is the only local brewery in Santa Monica (as far as I know), it is worth checking out.

Love this place - great beers, nice people, indoor outdoor vibe that can't be beat. I feel like Im hanging out with a whole warehouse full of new friends every time I go here just because the vibes are that good. They pour the beer for you immediately so there is truly no wait time. If you want to watch the game, they have a million TVs - and if you don't, there are great vibes outside as well. I love all the outdoor seating, specifically because I love the dogs and kiddos running around which make the space so lively and friendly. See you again soon, Brew Works

Yay! No tipping! Gets so cold on the patio though, so bundle up. Beers, ciders, and pizza HIT.
