Such an amazing place to hang out if you like having great beer in chill, cozy vibes. The beer menu has a good variety, so there's always something for every mood!Food menu is also pretty good and not too pricey. I've had the Fish & Chips, 2 Russel Sprouts, Giant Pub Pretzel and they were all great. It's a spacious place with plenty of seating both inside and outside, so it never feels too crowded. I love the fireplace inside and the fire pit outside, it really adds to the cozy atmosphere.Whether you go in solo or with a group of friends, they are always very welcoming and attentive. Also dog-friendly and have a water bowl at the patio, so I see people bringing their dogs all the time.

Good vibes here! I was a guest of the band that played on a Saturday evening in December. Although I got a ride here, there were plenty of free parking spots in the back. This Project Barley Square is a small pub located in Old Torrance. There are other locations in the South Bay.I'm not a beer drinker so I can only say that the folks around me seemed to enjoy the beverages and live classic rock music. I did get ginger ale from the bartender and she was super nice. Later in the evening, I did order a side of french fries and they were okay.They have an outdoor patio area which is great for groups. Restroom was clean. They had a Christmas tree with a Guinness hat on top. They also have their "People Love Us on yelp sticker" up.Hope to be back for more classic rock!

I ended up at Project Barley on a whim because I was nearby, and I was NOT DISAPPOINTED. As a beer enthusiast, I was excited to see what they offered since I hadn't visited in years. I stuck to the Neverland for the most part, but because I love a good West Coast IPA. I arrived around 5 PM on a Tuesday, and while it was a bit slow at first, Ricardo did an amazing job of making me feel welcomed and informed. He offered me the happy hour menu that ended at 6 PM. I was hungry, so I asked about the fish and chips, and his recommendation was spot on--I can confirm they were fantastic!I stayed to enjoy the karaoke night. I'm a bit shy about singing, but Hannah made everyone feel so comfortable that I ended up getting on stage.This was also my first time trying cask beer. It was different at first, but I learned to appreciate the flavor and temperature.The brewery and restrooms were clean and well-equipped. Overall, I had a wonderful experience and can't wait to go again!

Menu - ignore all the other menus and food pictures. This used to be an English pub. The pub was purchased last year. Rebranded as a burger joint2 Stars for food and drink:- DRINK: IPA was meh. Ironically, English Ale (what they are phasing out) was what save them in my eyes - FOOD: No more - no Indian food, fish and chip. Now, just burgers and sandwichesI was disappointed :( Talk about bait and switch in the Yelp photos Burger wasn't good. Too sweet. Menu touts they are inspired by MCD and In N Out. So not a high bar, still misses the quality of intended copiesChili fries were good and fast+1 star for having a fireplace on a cold FRI night. And a dartboard and pinball machine for entertainment

An American pub with a British feel, PBS has two dart boards, a lot of guitars hanging on its walls, and an actual brewery onsite. It offers a lot of activities, from trivia pursuit to open mics. It's an interesting venue!

This place changed owners sometime recently. This used to be the Yorkshire Square Brewing Company. Although the beers remained thankfully for the most part the same, the menu has changed. We used to love their Fish and Chips under the old name and management. So here are two comparative photos of the Fish and Chips. The first photo from what is now known as Project Barley Brewery, and the second photo of Fish and Chips is from what used to be known as the Yorkshire Square Brewing Co. Same location in Torrance, but different owners. The new pub chef in the first photo has smaller portions of fish. The outside is not crispy with the inside being slightly dry due to being overcooked.The second photo is from a past visit when it was still Yorkshire Square Brewing Company, before it became Project Barley Square. The original pub chef served a larger portion of fish. The outside was light and crispy, while the inside was moist and juicy.I wish that the original chef was still there. The ambiance lost some of its uniqueness as there were cutouts of the royal family and pictures of towns in England. I am sad to see that is now gone. I will still come back for the beer. Although I will try the other offerings on the food menu, unfortunately I will need to find another place for authentic Fish and Chips.

I really wanted to like this place. Good vibe, super friendly staff. That is reason the rating is as high as it is. But that's where the positives end. The beers were fine, not amazing but fine. Though the wines and beer cocktails don't scream the pub vibe they are going for. Yellow mustard and a greasy pub pretzel with a broken cheese sauce? And fried previously frozen Brussel sprouts with a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese melted on top? Food is a no go; maybe their specials are better but I don't think I'll be back to try. This place has the a lot of specials and attractive marketing but the basics aren't there. It is a fun place but no one there on a Saturday afternoon is a red flag. I hope they can get a proper cook to look at the menu and maybe an honest beer reviewer. It has potential.

Came here for some live music which was great. The food not so great. Tried the chili fries and the carne asada fries. Both came less than warm. I don't mind greasy food but the fires were greasy and even stale tasting and like warm greasy food is not a good thing. Was over $35 for both. Could get better and bigger at many drive thru's. Think this place doesn't do a big night business as there is not much around it. Location on PCH probably a better live music experience.

They have several locations. Note: this is the one on Van Ness in Old Torrance, near 3355 Asian Grill and BCG.This brewery is GREAT for groups! I came here recently for a friend's birthday. They were able to reserve some tables outdoors in their back patio. There were maybe 20 of us and there was plenty of space for everyone. The place is super chill. Love the relaxed vibes-- it's overall great for a casual group hangout. They let us bring our own dessert/snacks too. The place is also dog friendly! Indoors, they had TVs, darts, and a free pinball machine! Unlimited plays for free! Their beer selection isn't too wide but they had a decent amount as well as wines, mimosas, shandy, hard cider, etc. There's something for everyone! I tried their sweet potato fries and their carne asada tacos which tasted better than they looked. I was pleasantly surprised! Service was friendly. Clean bathrooms. Free parking in their lot. I would definitely come back!
