This historic brewery has offices, but has lofts that are associated with the businesses. Would love to have one.

Great way to spend a weekend. Over 100 artist lofts open to the public to show off their wares. All fine arts, no musicians or other performing artists. Bar and restaurant on premises. Check out the rock climbing gym while youre there. Pretty impressive!

Well curated selection of local goods and vintage duds. New selections introduced often that keep me coming back for more. Friendly employees and positive atmosphere.

A one of a kind experience; you have to attend to understand how beautiful it is. There is art for every taste and the gigantic complex is full of beautiful places to hang out, and get food and drink. (More during the Artwalk) There is also a restaurant and climbing gym that you can visit at other times; but dont miss out on the walk. You can see the work of high caliber artists of many different mediums; puppetry, sculpture, paintings, surreal machines, ect... There is also a beer garden with both food and refreshments and many food trucks. One downside is the crowds; but you cant throw a party this great and not have people show up. Highly recommended!!

I would recommend to anyone with a curiosity for the arts and or a glimpse into urban’esque bohemian living. For those two aspects alone this event gets 5 stars from me. However it loses a 2 due to the iffy organization, sometimes chaotic crowds and minimal public facilities in the area. Add a star or two back if you are down for some semi aimlessly wandering with a hint of urban exploration. The wide variety of art on display in the creators personal living quarters is something to behold.

Twice a year (April and October) the Brewery opens its doors to the public and we all have a chance to explore the rabbit warren of converted industrial lofts filled with art of all kinds. Food trucks outside, beer garden inside, fascinating art and design, it has everything you need for a great afternoon.

What an experience! Thankfully they had a map, this place was a labyrinth! So many artists at work showcasing their talents, a variety of mediums: painting, ceramics, sculptures, photography and artisan crafts. Large spaces, small spaces and a lot to take in. Not for those sensitive to sensory overload. The parking was not the best, and I DJ’s not eat there. They had a center hub of food and beer, and the Barbara’s at the Brewery was open but cash only so that was a bit inconvenient especially to tourists and new comers. The art was spectacular. The myriad of things to look at felt endless and there was a little piece of magic at every turn. Truly a wonderful place to wander into!

Love it. great artist from simply to truly evolved in an inspiring background of the old brewery. great people true critically thinking people, some with some movements from live to just stimulating thoughts. I liked it a lot. was fun to find something original in LA!

Fun event. Got to see such amazing and talented artists​. From old fashion paintings to laser cut are work. I recommend anyone to see it. Its not a Brew fest its an art gallery showing each individual at studio and style. There was a pop up food place in the middle with Craftsman beer. Food was alright not the greatest.

Buildings filled with art and artist galore! A unique Urban artwalk experience. Its a whole community of artists creating distinct forms of art ranging from paintings to sculptures to clothing to videos to ceramics and many more! Its a huuuge place so make sure you set aside a whole day (or two) for it and wear comfortable shoes as there is a lot of walking involved. The artwalk allows you to purchase art directly from the artists and other merchandise they offer. The program also has food trucks and food stations with seating. They also offer alcoholic beverages like wine and beer that you can sip and enjoy as you walk around between the artist studios.

Definitely on my list of “Must See” LA events. Getting to visit artists in their own studio spaces was absolutely fantastic.

Was a little different than i expected i thought it was way different than this. I mean oh well an experience is an experience if you like odd stuff and want to explore this is the spot for youi do recommend because you never know what to expect just note the people that are visiting are pretty rude alot of people are not open minded the sellers are nice just the people tge people man they kill it. Art is cool any form of it

These art walks are always a pleasure. Cant wait for the next one in Fall !!

A great place! The experience is amazing having the chance to see the artists houses and work space is amazing and youll definitely me amazed discovering a new artist you like. For food and drinks they only take cash!

Nice and Clean place, quiet, good customer service, I take my car for oil change, at little be long waiting but its okay around 2 1/2 Hours

One of my favorite events of the year to get a glimpse of the largest artist commune in the continental US. Happens bi-annually.

Good food and beer! Very cool people! Really needs ADA accessiblity update!

Love this artist commune. Lots of talented people with amazing art. Definitely worth spending the afternoon and a great way to support local artists.

The Creative Technologies Center is a great place to hold meetings of up to 40 or 50 people. LA-SIGGRAPH held their holiday meeting there, awesome!

If youve never been, you must go. If youve gone, obviously you are going again.

I go to stronghold but this place is a perfect lil slice of the cool part of LA sweet and humble people, just beware of people with terrible driving manners speeding down the drive ways for some reason :( no care for the many children that frequently visit or the calm mannered vibe it usually has

Great day spent checking out the brewery art walk. Very interesting and lots to see. Family loved it.

It was really pretty and cool. A lot of different styles and types of art were there. Id reccomend going!

I love the artists and community. Really welcoming people, and super friendly.

Art Walk is just in downtown outside of the arts district which is also where I live. They have great cool studios where people work and sell their stuff. Lots of cool art that opens up their studios twice a year.

What imppressed me and Im sure they dont get many acolaids and too many complaints from tenants but the owners and staff have always been fair and reasonable to me. Helped us get our space and was far less corporate stiffs then we are all used to, its an artist complex and they do things a little different.

Had a great time as always! Saw some great art!

Great food and beer. A place to talk with artist and see their work. Check this place out when in LA.

Great “hidden” place to hang out for a beer and great food . Quite and friendly atmosphere

Lots of cool things to see. Great bar. Not much parking.

Always a great experience. Got several unique gifts for family for the holidays!

Trendy. More of the same stufff.Cookie cutt.

ANOTHER FANTABULOUZZZ ART WALK THAT WAS JUST MIND BLOWING. AT THIS EVENT, U GOT TO ACTUALLY STEP INSIDE THE ARTIST STUDIOS/LIVING SPACE AND TALK ABOUT THEM AND THEIR ART. HELD AT THE OLD LOS ANGELES BREWERY PLANT, U GET TO SEE OLD AND NEW MIXTURES OF THE ENTIRE ENVIRONMENT. CHECK THEM OUT NEXT YEAR AND ALL OF THE ART WALKS. TRUST ME U WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED !!!!

I love it, nice to place to go after work

The Brewery is one of the biggest remaining artist community’s in the northern hemisphere. The art walk that happens biannually provides an opportunity to wander around the complex and explore the mediums. Make sure to support local artist!

Stronghold Rock gym is here. Fantastic place to chill and boulder

Get ready for lots and lots of stairs. Loved it tho. Fabulous artist live/work studios, tons of artist installations. Food trucks & Barbaras Brewery (cash only) for good food. Portable bathrooms are helpful. Children are welcomed but lots and lots of stairs!

They know how (and are capable of) making a proper white Russian....and daquiri ...and cubre libre.....im too far gone for Google reviews. Great food, fried pickles!!!!!!! I cant spell right now.

Hands down the best art walk LA has to offer. Super unique and very big.

Really cool. Allow enough time to walk through all the spaces. It is more than a quick buzz through. Lots of food, art and culture!

It was cool to go there, just wear comfortable cushioned shoes because the grounds are uneven and textured.

Getting bigger and better every year. The space is always in development as old artists move and new artists arrive. The puppeteer is always a pleasant mystery.

Awesome art community, met a lot of great residents from the community at a private party.

This event has been going on over 30 years. It is a very unique community. Many artists living in this loft style properties. Live & work place.Twice a year, they will open to the public for the Brewery Artwalk. Local artists will showcase their art pieces and sell them at great price. It is fun to check out the art work and chat with the artist in person.Some of the building are commercial building and they convert to apartment/loft. Wear comfortable shoes because there will be LOTS of walking!!The Food: Only one concession stand. Selling hot dog, salad, wrap, snacks, beer & other beverage. Price is reasonable compared to other events/shows. However, need more shed or umbrella at the seating area.The Parking: UPS parking lot and street parking (FREE) ; however, get there early!!!

Jill Sykes paintings are so Beautiful . I bought three .

So cool seeing everyone having a great time climbing

Always an interesting series of exhibits. Been coming for years. Almost always leave with something new.

It great during the art walk.

Such a fun way to spend the day. Looking at fun Art and exploring the Lofts while having a beer on a sunny day and interacting with creative folks is always welcomed in my world.

Great experience. Full of art and inspiration

A wonderful, creative hub inhabited by some great Los Angeles artists. The Art Walk was fun and got to interact with some great people.

Awesome bar to gather to after work. Near LAC + USC hospital. Craft beers and delicious plates to eat. Just like a gasteo pub.

This is one of the best art events of the year! A high concentration of amazing artist in one place. A must for anyone that appreciates fine art! Super Fun!

Good selection of local beers and some good brunch.

Very wildly imaginative, and if you have extravagant, varied, refined(and expensive) taste in art, there is almost nothing else like it in the greater Los Angeles area. Highly recommended for appreciators of art, and a hefty wallet is by-no-means required to enjoy a weekend journey to the wonderful locale. Featuring luminaries such as Mirapolsky, as well as brilliant up-and-comers, and relative unknowns on the brink of discovery, anyone mildly interested in the world of contemporary art will enjoy the experience.

Cool place with great selection of craft beer

Lots of fun!!

Awesome staff and options! It was the first time rock climbing for me and everyone was very helpful. Theres a sauna too!

This is one of the best art walks in town, they only do it twice a year! make sure to set aside a whole day for this, because it takes a while to see all of the artist who lives there as well and display all of their art for the public to check out!This used to be an old Pabst Blue Ribbon Brewery, now its live work artist lofts, and there is still a microbrew in the center call Barbaras... I love coming here, all the people are friendly and you can make new friends easily

Wait for an openhouse celebration and then you can enjoy what all these Artists really do, you know it will be fun

If you have any interest in art or artists, this is a fascinating place. Twice a year this artist residential colony (converted manufacturing facility) opens its door for a weekend of free window shopping. However, the visitor gets much much more.1. Hundreds of creative artists displaying their work, some reasonable prices2. Actually enter and peruse actual homes and work spaces (albeit spruced up a bit for company)3. A unique chance to actually talk to artist. Some are too busy but some love to answer questions about their art and the experience of living in an art community.4. Free with free parking5. A center food court/beer garden6. Nice people

Great food and a large selection of beers, cant go wrong.

Great Art and a nice view of downtown

I hang out with a few homeless people here.

Amazing

My auant and I saw lots of nice art work and it was very friendly artist creative spaces

This place is a treasure trove of artists and creative professionals. The studios showcase some very strong artists many of whom are very well known and undiscovered. Theres a bar thats fairly hidden from the main road (Barbarass?) With a decent selection of beers and healthy food options. Great place to meet and discuss the works youve discovered.

We enjoy visiting the Brewery. All kinds of art can be seen when the artists open pen their lofts for the public to check out. I find it very interesting getting a behind the scenes look into the lives of the arists. The conversations Ive had are insightful as well as inspiring. There arecmany interactive installations thst are pretty cool. Definitely put this on your must see list. Its free and Ive always found free parking. Its great for any age.

Nice venue to walk around in. Overpriced artsy vendors congregate there. Cute stuff but pricey if its not what you need. On a Sunday its very packed and loud. Nowhere to sit. Its a brewery yes, though I wasnt here for the beer. I was there for the taco stand that parks in that building. A little pricey $3.00 for a street taco...but very good. Usually eat 2. They also have events usually on Sunday...anywhere from Bake Offs to Yoga runs. I gave it 4 stars because the brewery itself does not sell food.

This is such a wonderful way to spend an afternoon. The brewery is open twice a year, an opportunity to access private art studios and homes is such a treat.

I really liked the Brewery. So vast and old stone buildings.

Huge beautiful complex. You basically grab a drink and walk around the living spaces of various artists and look at their work. The best part is meeting each individual artist in their home and learning about them. Cant wait for the next one!

What a killer event. Artists open up their digs and show off their talents. Food, Beer and Art. Who could want more?

Always fun to visit. Park in the streets if you can. Getting out of the UPS parking lot was a nightmare

Great day out to see up and coming artists

Really enjoy this place a lot. Will be back

It was a really cool compound and neat to see such a large space in LA that is not being developed. All walks of life were at this event.. some with more clothing than others. The beer was good but expensive and there was a good selection of food trucks. I liked that it wasnt over grounded and I think well try to go again.

Great art, amazing vibe, interesting architecture, although it can be crowded and parking can be a challenge.

Crowded with artists! The pricing ranged from affordable to the thousands, there were food trucks, and lots of cool spaces

Really cool place to see some interesting art. Tons of people who live or work at the Brewery opens up their space for the public. There are food trucks, drinks at the restaurant and in the plaza, and some people even sell some things like soaps, clothes, and jewelry. The churros are amazing. There is a rock climbing room in the main brewery building that you can see from the freeway.There is street parking, but get there early if you dont want to walk far. This place is worth checking out during the 2 day Art Walk.

My very first year attending the Brewery Art Walk and I am in LOVE!What is more fun than appreciating art while drinking a cup of Beer? Walking around into these artists homes and viewing all their creative work while checking out their digs is just as amazing as going to Disneyland as a kid.Yes, I am officially old, referencing to Disneyland to walking through artwork! My rollercoaster is going through each artists mind and recreating their thought process as they create their amazing work! I only went through the tip of the iceberg and will def be back for more !

It was really neat to see all of the living space. The art wasnt quite our taste.

I was meeting a friend here & had no idea this existed-- an old warehouse district with little artisanal shops & a restaurant: Barbaras at the Brewery, which had great food at reasonable prices.

Inspiring to see artists at their residences. Nice progressive vibe food and beer. Need more restroom availability.

This place is lively and has amazing atmosphere! They feature many great artists in their respective mediums. Combine that with great food and beer, then you’ll have a recipe for a memorable time.

The Brewery Art Walk is an awesome experience. Come out and checkout tons of amazing contemporary artist. Meets lots of tons of friendly people, enjoy some beer/wine, and see what the buzz is about.

Beautiful place. Great artist community

The artwalk was a delight; lots of impressive art in a variety of mediums and the building itself is delightful and fun to explore.

Lots and lots of Art in a fascinating space. Personally I found the ins and outs in the corridors and hallways and bridges and Views and as interesting and occasionally more interesting than some of the yard. But thats why they call it art its in the eye

Interesting menu, drinks, and crowd. If you are at the Brewery for amy reason, you have to visit.

Eclectic art and amazing live-work spaces. Fun way to spend the afternoon.

There are sculptors living in WPA era brick warehouses and ballerinas twirling in a field... metropolitan heaven, baby!

Full bar, good vibes

Great casual spot. Came here on a friday afternoon before heading over to stronghold gym. Good food and beer selection.

Different but fun.

Lots of Wonderful Artists to Enjoy

Great experience lots of art, new ideas, very inspiring.

I love this place. They have art walk only two times a year. I wish they had it more often. The place to visit when you are there is the Jesus wall.

So many options! Chuys tacos, 2 bit circus and blue bottle coffee are just a few

Love this place! They open twice a year and its a #art lovers dream. You get plenty of exercise and its cool climbing stairs and going in and out of the artists rooms..
