A local bar on a street with towing and car businesses. A hidden gem! Beer selection was good, food menu is delicious and a wide variety of pizzas, definitely try the birria pizza, not pictured is the bbq chicken! There’s also a ping pong and darts area in the back. It’s a great place for good beer and pizza!

Always enjoy a beer a local brewery - there’s just something special about having a beer brewed onsite. Unfortunately, MacLeod’s seems to have largely shuttered its brewing operations and moved on to have a long list of guest beers. Huge bummer, especially if you were a cask ale fan.

It’s a shame - many know that there really aren’t a ton of breweries in the Valley, especially not in this area. Ultimately, there is a great selection of brewpubs/beer bars throughout the valley that have exceptional beers on tap. Would love to see MacLeod’s go back to what it was, but until then, pour one out for the good times.

One of my favorite places in Van Nuys. It’s so cool. Especially if you love craft beer. The food is inexpensive and incredibly delicious.

Park in the neighborhood and walk or take an Uber because it is located in the middle of a bunch of tow yards and industrial complexes. Parking is impossible.

Located near Costco Van Nuys.

April 2025 Update: They no longer brew beer and are just in the process of turning into a beer bar. Disappointing. If they are handy to you, go for it as I’m sure it’ll be decent, but if you’re like me, there’s a bunch of great bars closer. I only made the effort and traveled there for the craft brewery aspect. That no longer exists. Sad.

Edit: No longer brewing their own beer. Just a beer bar. No thanks.

Old review: Awesome beer, great food, kind souls, perfect playlist. I heartily recommend this place for any and all of your brewery needs.
