Explore Central LA Beer
The Central part of Los Angeles might be the densest, but actually is one of the thinnest areas in terms of housing legitimate craft beer hot spots. From craft beer in Hollywood to Beverly Hills, Century City to Koreatown, there are only a handful of really awesome places that serve up the good local stuff.
But what Central LA lacks in quantity, they make up for in quality. So while we don’t often recommend the area as a true beer destination, chances are you’re going to find yourself in the Central part of LA at some point or another, so you’re going to want to have these go-to spots on your list.
Browse through the best craft breweries, beer bars, and beer stores in and around Central Los Angeles.
