Good food and beer!

The only bad thing I have to say about this place is the loud environment. Music was playing so loud it was hard having a conversation. Otherwise it deserves 5 stars! Staff was very nice, food was amazing. I can recommend the “City in the sun” IPA. Just go here and enjoy beer and food!

Pros: Lots of options , Price

Cons: Loudly

Flavorful + Fun

Cute grungy and artsy vibe. The burger was amazing and full of flavor. We ordered the OG beer sampler - The beers in my opinion were not enjoyable though I am not an expert on beers by any means. The onion rings were good, ask for extra sauce.

Pros: Burger was amazing , Inexpensive , Interesting/different decor

Cons: Beer flavor/taste, Tiny sauce ratio

Delicious comfort food.

Friendly and efficient staff. Great food that is vegan but probably so tasty it isn’t exactly healthy.

Lives up to its name

I ordered the biscuits and gravy, as well as the croquettes. Holy moly. Do yourself a favor and eat here. The service was super quick and friendly, the atmosphere was spectacular, and above all, delicious vegan comfort food. Always fun. If you’re a beer drinker, there’s no shortage of options for you as well.

Pros: Vegan , Good service , Good Atmosphere

So good

This place definitely has the pub vibe - they focus more on beer options than food options. They have a small menu for food but my boyfriend and I ordered about half the menu (he’s a bottomless pit) and everything was delicious! The beer was also fantastic, the bf said it was the best stout he’s ever had. Great place

BRILLIANT

What an incredible place. The beers and food are exceptional. We had the beer sampler and I highly recommend this as there are several extremely interesting beers to try. The food is excellent, large portions of beautifully made vegan delights with extraordinary flavour. The breakfast sandwich was particularly special, with vegan egg, sausage, cheese and sauce and an incredible hash brown to go with it.
The wait staff was wonderfully friendly and happy to chat to us (tourists) about the local area and good places to visit while in L.A.
This has been my favourite restaurant experience in L.A.

Pros: Exceptional food, Extraordinary beers, Wonderful staff

Must visit in DTLA

This is a crazy fun place! The food is amazing and the atmosphere is off the hook! If you love rich delicious vegan food and beer, this is the place for you! They have one of, if not, the BEST burgers around! Footnote: try their ketchup you won't be sorry! :)

Pros: Amazing food, Atmosphere is FUN

Cons: Gotta pay for parking

Great food, great service but NO bags to go?

The foods are amazingly great. We got the burrito and pancakes and they both are really delicious. Then we got four cinnamon rolls to go for a party that we planed to attend after the brunch. We expected a bag but they said they do not offer that. We ended up paying for a $2 tote bag. I guess it’s a way for the company to get merchandise money from customers. The service was good and people were friendly though.

Pros: Delicious!, Friendly service. , Great ambiance

Cons: No paper bags for to-go orders. What a bummer!

Like the name, lots of character and very inspired.

An unusual fabulous treat. The food was exceptional. Asked for recommendation and went with the chilaquiles. Sooooo darned good. The whole menu looked really creative, which kind of describes the place, in general. Couldn't finish my entree and was too full to try the desserts so gotta go back to explore the rest of the menu. Looks like they have a coffee bar that may be open in the morning and a great weekend brunch but I was there on a weekday evening so can't speak to details. It's a high energy kinda place with amped up music and neon lights but it was a fun vibe.

Pros: creative menu, friendly, cheery, helpful staff, parking on weekday eve was plentiful

Cons: if you are looking for a quiet meal, might not be

Marrow of the earth

A great place to come for drinks and food. They have a welcoming environment and a great set of beers. For food, we ordered the marrow of the earth, which is phenomenal. It was beautifully presented, as the “marrow” paste was inside a hollowed out parsnip or other root vegetable to make it look actually like bone marrow. The marrow had an amazing deep, rich, savory flavor that is unlike anything I’ve had before. Truly unique. It was also offset nicely by a fresh arugula salad.
On a second visit, we got the Shan tofu and lentil salad, which was good, but wasn’t as exceptional as the marrow. They service was also a little spotty, and it took a while to get our drinks and food order.

Very impressed / Great Vegan Burgers

This is one of my favorite vegan destinations in LA. The interior is retro and very quirky. The food is quite gourmet and delicious. I ordered skewers of vegetables and a vegan burger made with the Impossible burger. The food presentation here is lovely, and the dishes are very hearty and satisfying. I am not a drinker, but if you are, there is a lively drinking scene at this restaurant.

Great time.

Restaurant in total is great. The energy, the food, the vegan aspect. Really brings comfort back to the vegans who weren’t always vegan.

All vegan, and good beer

First of all, I like Modern Times beer, and this place has numerous varieties on tap (20 or more).

That said, it is so nice to see an entire vegan menu. And it was good food too. I had the breakfast sandwich - English muffin, sausage, egg. Cheese, and has browns. It was all so good. I’m always happy to see a place with all vegan, and it’s not just salads or Thai. And with the good beer, I could be a regular if I lived nearby.

Pros: Good variety, Good beer

Modern Times (vegan) brewery now in DTLA!

Cool brewpub with fun deco and lots of seating in a cozy space. MT’s beers are among the best in CA and you never have to ask if they’re vegan. Staff are fun and the menu rocks. And there’s a full high-end coffee bar inside as well.
