About Benny Boy Brewing
Benny Boy Brewing is a brewery and cidery founded in 2022 by a husband-and-wife team with a focus on traditional brewing methods and natural cider making. What makes it stand out in Los Angeles is that it combines a production brewery, cider house, tank bar, and outdoor beer garden all in one space.
The atmosphere leans laid-back and social, with plenty of open-air seating that feels more like a neighborhood backyard than a typical bar. Guests can enjoy beer poured directly from tank systems, dry ciders made from California apples, and rotating pop-up food vendors depending on the day. The space encourages lingering conversations, casual hangouts, and after-work downtime rather than a loud nightlife scene.
What makes Benny Boy special is the thoughtful balance of craft and comfort. The brewing approach focuses on old-world techniques like natural carbonation and minimally processed ingredients, creating crisp beers and dry, food-friendly ciders. It’s also known locally for community events and a relaxed beer garden culture, making it feel like a true neighborhood gathering place.

Insider Tips
Weekday evenings are typically more relaxed if you prefer a quieter vibe. The space is 21+ only, so it’s best suited for adult outings. Street parking is available, but locals often mention it can be limited during busy times, so arriving early or using rideshare helps. Reservations are available for groups, especially if you’re planning a small gathering.
Stay Hello Sunshine Tip
Mid-term stays feel more like home when you discover places that locals actually return to. Benny Boy Brewing is perfect for slow evenings, casual meetups, or simply enjoying a well-made drink in a relaxed setting that fits naturally into Los Angeles living.
