Description
Arts District Brewing Company, one of Los Angeles’ few craft brewpubs, opened in December 2015 in Downtown LA’s historic Arts District. With an on-site, 15-barrel brewhouse capable of producing 3,300 barrels of beer each year, Arts District Brewing Company debuted with nine original beers ranging from golden ales to stouts to IPAs. The 17,000 square-foot space also features a sprawling main room and bar which can house as many as 500 guests, as well as an outdoor patio which seats 90. The brewpub also includes an expansive entertainment area with a photobooth and multiple classic bar games available, including ping-pong, cornhole, darts and 10 restored vintage Skeeball machines. Bar snacks from chef Neal Fraser’s Fritzi are also available via a take-out window connected to the restaurant.
