Project Barley Brewery & Pizzeria

Couldn't ask for more from a local brewery. I came in and they had a $12 two-slice-and-beer combo. In this economy--yes please! Beer was GOOD and pizza was very decent. I got the brown ale "Tasty Cookies"--tasty she was.Oh yeah, and they had live music on a Friday night. Great cover band and they also performed some original songs.

Visited this place a few months ago and had a great time. Had an awesome live singer from the UK, older waitress (think now manager) was friendly and accommodating, food was good.Fast forward to a few weeks ago, have about 20 people looking to eat and have beer after kids ball game. Let the same older waitress know we had a larger party and she said, "you should have called in a reservation". Mind you, there are only three other small tables occupied and the rest were empty,; not busy at all. Out of courtesy, we ask if we can sit at their two picnic benches and asked if it's okay to move a table over to accommodate and she said that we couldn't move tables. "Ok, why not?". She provides no reply.The rest of our group, that didn't hear we "couldn't move tables" comes in 10 minutes later and starts to join a few table for their family and the waitress scolds them, "I told you people can't move tables" and started moving tables back.We finished our round, ate our food, and left. We hit up another local brewery down the road and enjoyed the rest of our night as one group with connected tables. Will not go back to Project Barley after that last experience. Will take our business to other local breweries that appreciate our business.

Exec summary: great local microbrewery that features live bands 1- foodThey are collated with a pizza place. The pizza is actually quite good, some of the best in the South Bay. The only thing I was a bit disappointed in was their margarita pizza. Not enough cheese 2- beerYes they have the usual suspects of beer types, but they also have two Belgian type brews that are outstanding 3- ambiance It's the typical microbrewery chic. They have some cool pinball machines And they feature live music. Glad to see them supporting local musicians 4- servicePrompt service , Very nice folks who work thereSummary: what's not to like ?

I'm super picky about pizza, but the 86th Street Pizza is absolutely delicious!!! Reminds me of authentic Napolitano style- they may be using 00 semolina flour in the crust, which is also slightly charred. Sauce is nice and bright. Serious pizza, not just a convenient side business for the brewery. Beer was good, tried a few IPAs, but they have other styles. Great service. Stoked to see live music. As a former resident of Lomita and PV, I can tell you that's desperately needed in the area. Trivia- I'm pretty sure the building used to house the South Bay Triumph motorcycle dealer.

This place is a gem, if you love BEER and MUSIC, this is the place. They have live music on Saturdays and Sundays, Trivia Wednesday, Karaoke Thursday and BEER. This Brewery is a local hangout. The general manager "Zha" not only takes care of you and makes sure you have the best time. She has the most amazing voice and she is also smokin HOT.

Best hometown brewery! Feels like home every time we come in! We come here weekly and it never disappoints. Zha is the most friendly manager. She is always busy but makes time to connect with her customers. She has booked amazing talent and when she sings it's unbelievable!!! I just want to pick this place up and take it with me everywhere!

This is a great local pub. They have a wonderful selection of microbrews and free live music on the weekends. We really enjoy going there for a relaxed evening of beer and music. They have a pizzeria on site if you are hungry. The pizza isn't really my style (I think you would call it New York pizza), but is still pretty good. I certainly would recommend visiting this place, especially on a weekend when they have music.

I am writing this review as I am at the bar. I am walking in and see a person on their phone off to the side on a table. Thinking it's a customer I say a friendly hi, I didn't get a response, whatever, didn't think much about it. Come to find out it's the bartender. You'd think a greet would be nice customer service, but whatever. She asks me what I want, verbatim. I give her my order and card. She throws the card back to me after putting my order in and goes back to sitting down on her phone. Bad first impressions never coming back. I was ignored the whole time there too. And there was only another couple in the whole place. I will say she was "nice" when checking out. I assume "face" for tips.

Leslie was awesome making my drinks tonight. Came here to have drinks and pizza with my girls . This place never gets old... always makes me smile. After a long day I love stopping by here. Food is always fresh. Ambiance is always relaxing

Force tipping! Racist! It's too bad since this is one of our local place. I actually enjoyed the place has they not mistreated me.So went there with my husband (I'm Asian, my husband is white). Service was okay, I don't complaint. It does take sometime to place our order, but it's acceptable time frame and we were in no rush.Don't count on the food. Food was provided by Toni little place at the back of the building. It's not their own. Mediocre frozen wings and pizza. They have decent beer selection and we enjoy it. Everything went well until I went to closed out tabs. I have a habit of leaving cash tip (Worked as waitress before). So I paid our tab only without tip since I'm planning to give Casey. The bartender snapped at me and I told her I will leave cash tip. I was not happy with their approach, but won't ruin my day for it either. I make a point of handing the tip to the bartender and she apologized and said another "Asian" guest spend over a hundred and did not leave tip. I told her she should not profiling people like that. Since there is a lot of Asian in the area.As we are leaving, another worker stop me on my way and told me I should give tip and I told him I already gave $40 tip for our $200 drinks. He asked the bartender if I indeed leave tips already. Again he used the same excuse about Asian guests. This time I won't have it and to them they should be ashamed profiling guest like that and I will never come back.Tips should be voluntary. It is a gratitude for your service! How much tips should be given is depending on the quality of service. For those who thinks waiter only make money from tips, wrong!!. I was a waitress before, have base pay and plush the tips. When there is multiple tables at once, I can easily make $15-30 per table on top of my minimum wage.You should not assume the whole race is bad because of your bad experience with inequality guest. Sadly I no longer feel welcome at this establishment.
