Monkish Brewing - Anaheim

I came here for my birthday right before closing, but was still able to get a taste of one of their specials. Being back in this space, brought back so many memories when the previous owners had their business at this location. Unfortunately, some of the design has changed but still has that great feel as soon as you walk in. There is plenty of seating in the patio to enjoy your time with friends and a great drink. Inside is pretty small and I am sure this place gets busy on weekends. I tried the Feminist which is a triple that tasted pretty good. It was smooth and I definitely tasted the hint of hibiscus. I had a couple of other choices on my radar, so I will definitely be back to try some more favorites from the menu. Note: This is located right next to the Packing District so it can be hard to find parking. Make sure to arrive early to find a spot or take an Uber so you can have a couple of more adult beverages.

This place has the best local New England IPA's. Had a Little Twin Stars non barrel stout which was a deep roasted coconut flavor. It's very annoying that when you pay for your order there is this NIG pop up window that asks you to leave a tip. Had several people go and pick me up some canned beers and they felt bad and tipped the cashier 18 & 20% just picking up beers for me on top of what I gave them for doing me a favor.So, I find this super annoying because if I go to the grocery store, Total Wine, BevMo, to purchase beer, I don't tip TIP the cashier or feel obligated or feel bad about tipping the salesman my hard earned money for tipping them to sell me cans to go. Understand that it's craft beer but the brewer isn't the one receiving the tip for his excellent skills.

My bf and I stumbled upon this brewery as we finished eating dinner at Georgia's. OMG! This area is amazing! I had no idea it existed until I searched for Soul Food places. We ordered the Hellish German Ale as we wanted something light as we stuffed ourselves. The brewery wasn't packed, and I loved the outdoor seating. The beer was delicious, which is what I was expecting. I can't comment on the price as it was my bf's treat, but I'm sure it didn't break the bank for two pints. The servers were sweet and, as a Hello Kitty fanatic, I about lost my mind when I saw a Twin Stars Stout. I didn't realize how terrible the parking is, so I broke down and parked valet. The best $10 I ever spent because ALL of the street parking was taken. There is so much to do near the brewery that we are going to spend more time hanging out on our next visit.

Monkish Brewing is located just a short walk from the Anaheim Packing District, making it a prime spot for brewery hopping in the area. There's a small parking lot behind the brewery for customers, but note that overnight parking isn't allowed.The front entrance of Monkish is charming and romantic, especially in the evening with its plant, lighting, and arches. Inside, the decor is sleek, clean, and minimalistic, with a window view of the brewing tanks. Seating inside is limited, but there are plenty of tables outside for groups or those looking to enjoy the fresh air.The staff was quick and friendly, creating a welcoming environment. Monkish offers a wide range of beers, categorized into interesting selections like "Bel Gian-ish," "special," "hoppy," "lager," and "funky." One of the more unique offerings was their seltzer slushy--a perfect, refreshing option for the summer.Overall, Monkish Brewing has a great atmosphere, excellent service, and a variety of brews that make it worth a visit, especially if you're exploring the nearby breweries!

Great place to come hangout listen to music, drink beer and bring your own food! Located in the Anaheim packing district, Monkish Brewing offers a great selection of beers. Indoor and outdoor seating is available. Plenty of parking outside of the establishment. Service was good.

Second time dropping in here when I come back home to visit. This location was recommended to us by a fellow beer snob back home in AZ and it is still one of our favorite beer stops and recommendations.Service is top tier. They always take care of us and make the best recommendations.Highly recommend this brewery. When weather permits it--sit outside and enjoy a cold brew!

Very much enjoyed my visit to this location on a trip down from SLO. Staff was extremely friendly, the location itself was low key and easy to hang at, and the beers we had absolutely lived up to the hype/elite status they've garnered in the craft beer space.Can't wait to visit again in the future to try other beers here at their Anaheim Packing District location and eventually get to the Torrance one as well. Special shout out for the beers we had on draft - Adieu Adieu & Water Balloon Fight Club - both Hazy IPA's. These both knocked our socks off and we took home 4 packs of the WBFC. I see why their line is always notoriously long at the Firestone Walker International Beer Festival every year. Cheers!

Stumbled upon this brewery while walking around the packing house. Clean & sleek inside with a small amount of seating; there was more outside. It's perfect to sit outside in the breeze while enjoying a beer or inside in the AC.Staff inside were very nice & friendly. They provided recommendations on which beer to choose from & answered any questions I had. 10/10 - Nectar Necro: super refreshing pale ale; it wasn't too heavy & had a citrusy undertone.8/10 - Doing Good: light lager that was also very refreshing; it did have a bit of a bite & bitterness which I didn't too much enjoy, but my wife did.

Only downside here is the parking situation during peak times, otherwise, this place is a true gem! Beautiful brewery with a large patio seating that offer sun and shade. The beertenders were super friendly and knowledgable and we tried a few of theirs ipas that were all really good. I loved the Joint Force Kobra which had a bit of fruity flavor and left a slight bitter aftertaste. Next time we are in Anaheim, we will be back for sure!

Back at it! Visiting from San Diego. Good beers with and a laid back setting. Tap room and to go 4-packs available.
