Solarc Brewing
Better still, the brewery is also now home to New York City’s Emmy Squared, one of the country’s most well-known craft pizza operations. Open since late 2023, Solarc is one of the newer breweries in LA—and one of the most unique, too. Rather than a typical line-up of IPAs and lagers, this Glassell Park brewery specializes in gruit, a medieval style of beer made with bittering agents other than hops. At Solarc, that means beer flavored with things like wormwood, black tea, and turmeric, and fermented with wild yeasts collected around Los Angeles. The whole operation is bordering on being a Portlandia sketch, but there’s no denying that hanging for a few hours in their quirky, colorful space (the walls are literally covered in aluminum foil) is a great way to spend a Sunday.
Common Space Brewery and Tasting Room
The famous Kansas City pizzeria Johnny Jo’s pizza and sandwich’s is now open under the same roof. ITap is not a sports bar but a bar that likes sports and appreciates service and selection beyond the normal.

Among the butterfly-attractive plants are lilac verbena, milkweed, buckwheat, salvia and seaside daises. “We were able to get the information out to the community about the importance of restoring natural plants,” said Blue Heron Park committee chairman Nancy Kerr. “We want to bring back to California some of the species that are dwindling. Any place that sells marked-up bottles and bowls of olives can call itself a wine bar.
This brewery on the docks of Port of LA occupies a WWII-era naval warehouse so large it could host a regulation flag football game. Aside from the huge indoor taproom, there’s a big outdoor courtyard with food trucks and live music on weekends, and a marketplace selling local crafts across the street. Don’t miss the top-selling Dog Ate My Homework—a purplish, juicy blackberry saison—or Popfuji, a malty, refreshing unfiltered pilsner.

Her mother Anabelle Walker Welch worked as a cook in Atlantic City hotels and generously opened her home to anyone in need. Pepper grew up in Philadelphia where she learned to tap dance on the street corner with the boys. At ten years old, she debuted in show business when the boys dared her or pushed her into a jazz bar. She strutted in, took the mic, and sang and danced to “Pennies from Heaven.” Afterwards, Pepper won many Kiddie Hour and Amateur Contests in Philadelphia.
Probably, but it won’t taste as good since you aren’t sitting on the beach. We are however at the mercy of the “three-tier” system which requires distributors to bring in beers, while we’d love to serve you El Presidente, Kalik or Yeungling that is up to the distributors to bring that into Missouri before we can bring it to your seat.

To teach at the Academy of Theatrical Arts and her mother's dance school. Her first teacher was Doris Jones, who would run the Jones/Hayward School of Dance in Washington, D.C. She later studied with Mildred Davenport and Clare Hayward. Known as the "Brown bomber," she danced on the New England and New York circuits. Tap dancers in or performing in Boston, like Derby Wilson, Buck and Bubbles, and the Will Mastin Trio, often met at Charlie's Restaurant, on Columbus Avenue, where Mildred often attended. When she tried to enroll her children, Paul and Arlene, in dance school she was told they were too young.
He began working with the U.S.O. as a solo act, telling stories, tapping, and playing the trumpet; he also began arranging and writing music. As a young girl, Pepper danced with the “Three Rhythmettes,” and with Lula Styles as “Pep and Pepper.” Around 1938, Pepper performed with Mildred “Candi” Thorpe as “Candi and Pepper.” They were an outstanding team of Rhythm and Flash. In 1941, columnist Billy Rowe of the Pittsburg Courier, ranked Candi and Pepper with the superb male tap dancers of the era.
After the tour, he returned to the United States and began dancing with Duke Ellington at the Cotton Club. Also in attendance on Saturday were Irvine Ranch Conservancy and Environmental Nature Center representatives, on hand to describe the facilities they offer for the exploration of native habitats. A table was set up with free, pre-made crafts available for children to decorate and take home. Though many know Montebello’s shipping container food hall for the food, there’s a handy tasting room tucked away in the back. It’s always a pro move to place an order — especially the fairly new Chicano eatery SolRad — and order Honest Abe’s Mexican lollipop brew with watermelon and spice.
He continued to perform in supper clubs, on television, and in summer stock during the perilous 1950s when tap dance went out of favor in the popular entertainment industry. With dozens of taps and a lot of hard-to-source beer, Glendale Tap has emerged as one of the city’s best beer bars over the past decade. The semi-hidden corner location also now welcomes a variety of food pop-ups. While not exactly located right along the beach, this Santa Monica staple still feels like a seaside hangout thanks to cool coastal breezes and a bright collection of beers made for easy drinking.
We also have wine, ciders, canned cocktails, spiked seltzers, gluten-free and NA beers and some canned soda. Dog friendly and a great spot to meet your two legged friends as well, iTap Soulard has been slinging suds on “the island” since 2010. Located in an old stable with a killer and damn near tropical patio with our famed beer tap fountain we aim to please with 44 taps of the best in local and import beers not to mention the finest on draft cocktails. We also have wine, canned cocktails and N/A options that fill our famous cooler doors.
There's a solid menu of bar snacks menu with things like burgers and wings to fish sandwiches and kimchi, all way better than they need to be. This is where you should be drinking hoppy pilsners before a Dodgers game. This indoor-outdoor taproom in an industrial section of the Valley is less "dark and cozy pub" and more "low-key loading dock with brewing equipment" but we love that there are lots of tables, lots of dart boards, and a welcoming crowd of locals. The beers here are brewed and poured in cask, which means robust flavors and little-to-no carbonation (it's a little odd to get used to, but quite tasty). This all-Belgian brewery in Torrance was one of the first places on the West Coast to kick off the hazy/juicy IPA craze, with every brewery from here to Seattle following suit.
