Smog City West

Simply put, Smog City is one of, if not my favorite breweries from Los Angeles. And their tasting room here is a great place to really try the variety of brews they have as well as many you can't find in cans in stores around the city. Every time I have come here there is something new to try and the vast majority of the time they're home runs in my opinion. Even when it's something that I don't love, I appreciate the uniqueness of it. Their beers really do a good job of standing apart which I appreciate. They both follow the microbrew trends but also pave their own trail. I will say that this location is small so I wouldn't plan on bring a big group here. They want this place to feel cozy & it certainly does. I've never been here during some of their events, but I would imagine it could/would fill up fast so if you're looking to go to one of their comedy shows of whatever, get their early to ensure you're not stuck outside or against the wall. I know Torrance has a lot of microbrewery options. But Smog City really should be on the top of your list of places to check out.

There is no food here at this location. But very small cute joint. They host comedy shows every fourth Thursday with an entrance fee I believe. Beer is fine, but too small to have a large party gathering overall pretty great!!

Such a great local business and resource! So fun to sit with friends. Play games. Listen to live music. Hear comedy. The list goes on. And the bartenders are fire. A great time!

Great ambiance and friendly service! Knowledgeable about the beers on tap and what we were looking for. There was live music and the beerologist even hopped on the mic! It is all craft beer on tap so just keep that in mind when you're coming here and not a beer person, luckily I am!

Fun atmosphere and great beer - went for the chili potluck and had a good time. Friendly service as well.

Great place to enjoy Craft Beers in this cute place to chill out while having some of the best brews in the South Bay. Bring an LP on Sundays and they'll play it for everyone to enjoy.

I really like this brewery! We spontaneously decided to find a local brewery to have a quick beer, and this one showed up on Yelp. It doesn't look like anything from the outside, but insiste it's quaint and interesting. Love the light fixtures and the wallpaper they have. Since this was our first time here, we asked the bartender for their recommendations - we got the Little Bo, Sabre toothed squirrel and the mango Pango - all of them were really good. They offer 3 different sizes, 4oz, 8 oz, & full sized. All of their beers are very reasonably priced!

BEST TRIVIA SPOT!!! But seriously, our daughter has spent two birthdays at Smog City West for their trivia nights. She doesn't know any other way. Sam is the best beertender ever, and knows exactly what you want. They don't have food, but you can bring your own. Brittany is the best trivia host!! (Insert high fives).Board games? They've got em. Chalkboard hallway and chalk to draw? You betcha. Simpsons arcade game? D'oh! Yup! Oh, and don't forget about the free books outside next door at the tutoring place to go peruse in between rounds. Thanks for all the good times, Smog City!!

Nice, cozy environment and a wide selection of beers. This one is definitely more my vibe than the original location. The From LA Wit Love was great.

A medium size brewery with some food trucks and outdoor seating. It gets pretty packed so securing a table can be a bit hard sometimes. Depending on amount of people, it can take a bit of time to get a drink based on their current set up and staffing. The beer is pretty good and they have a good selection of sours. They also had an anniversary party a few weeks ago so they have some unique selections.They aren't doing full flights right now, but you can get two small pours if you want to sample.
