Homage Brewing 1219 North Main Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012

"Visited Homage Brewing on a Thursday night. Ambience: I decided to head down over in order to get a feel for the type of environment Homage brewery presents and to try out the smashed burger. Since I’m seeking out different places to invite friends for nights out. As mentioned by other reviewers, yes this brewery is directed towards a hipster crowd. Homage Brewings interior is minimalistic and upon entering, the interior was lit with red lights complimented with a DJ bumping music. The employees were friendly and attentive, furthermore, food service was excellent. The cool thing about this place is that the exterior seating area serves as a place where one can hang out and relax, while downing a couple drinks. The interior (for weekends) serves as a platform to vibe with the music provided by the DJ. Food & Beverages: I was honestly surprised when I glanced over the beer menu, no flight option present. As a brewery, a flight option should be available, since it helps customers explore different products. I opted out, as I was driving ( and saving my appetite for when I return) but my partner had some wines which she enjoyed. I decided to order their smashed burger, which came with two Pattie’s, American cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles, everything sauce, and potato buns. The burger was good, as it was fresh, a good sized portion, and flavorful. There’s a review out there complaining about the Crispy farm potatoes fish scent, let me explain that the fish scent comes from the Mullet borttaga, a type of roe. Therefore, that review is not credible. The crispy potatoes were crunchy, well seasoned, and soft in the interior. A small dip of the horseradish sauce will be suffice. The food was good and hoping to try out other menu items in the future, in addition to their beers."

"One last brewery before heading back home tomorrow. Homage for a saison, stout, and pilsner. All were delicious! Bartenders was super nice and let us sample some beers to help decide what we wanted."

"This is easily one of our top 3 breweries in LA! It's never over crowded unless there's a special tasting, yet the vibe is always on point. They also pour some of the best craft beer in LA, but also have wine and food. The food is some of the best brewery food we've ever had. I wouldn't even consider it bar food, yet it's still snackable."

"Overall experience is 2 star, I really don’t understand the disconnect with all these 5 star reviews. My potato’s smelled like fish, the Wi-Fi doesn’t work, the service was mediocre, and the beer selection is minimal compared to nearby breweries. The atmosphere makes up for a lot of the negatives for this place. It is a vibrant place with a Dj, a majority of the patrons are friendly and easygoing so you’ll have a good time. But it’s not a place I would be excited to go back to again. I visited both breweries on the block and I do prefer one over the other. This decision was based on service, drink, and food selection."
