The Arts District is one of LA’s epicenters for great craft beer – all within walking distance of each other. This guide will lead you through some of our favorites.
Angel City Brewing
📍 216 S Alameda St, Los Angeles, CA 90012
Once a hub for suspension cable production (used on the Golden Gate Bridge!), this massive building now houses a well-lit bar with clean copper taps and an Art Deco-inspired backdrop. Urban art covers the walls, and a dog-friendly policy + regular food truck appearances make Angel City a laid-back spot to start the day.
Know Before You Go
✔ Not particularly known for hazy IPA’s, so if that’s your thing, you’ll enjoy the next two stops more.
