Audio Graph Beer Co.

Audiograph is a hidden little oasis downtown where you can get a cold beer from a friendly face. You'll never have to wait long to be served and you won't have to fight anyone for a table or a seat. They have special events some evenings (speed dating, stand up comedy, etc) but otherwise the environment is simultaneously relaxed and vibrant. They have a decent variety of beers and they're all good. Check out the seltzers if you want something a little lighter. They don't serve food but they have never minded when I've brought in takeout from other local businesses or food trucks. Special shout out to Christina and Dom, some of our favorite servers. Don't miss Audiograph if you're downtown!

This brewery is very family-friendly, offers great parking, and has friendly staff, making it a welcoming place to appreciate these well-crafted beers. I enjoyed a classic German-style pilsner called LARS, which features a crisp malt profile and a balanced bitterness. I also tried LA Riders, a West Coast IPA with vibrant citrus and tropical fruit aromas!!

A solid brewery in downtown LA with a great and chill vibe. There’s a solid selection of beverages and lots of board games for socializing. A great spot to bring your friends. I’d definitely come back here for a craft beer or other social events.

I visited Audio Graph Beer Co on a recent trip to L.A., and I was seriously impressed. It’s rare for me to enjoy every beer at a brewery, but every single one I tried here was fantastic. The variety, quality, and craftsmanship were top-notch. On top of that, the staff was incredibly friendly, making the experience even better. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming—just the kind of spot you want to kick back and enjoy a great beer. Highly recommend checking this place out!

Super tasty brews, CLEAN place, cool art, and super friendly owners! Love this spot! A must for dwntwn LA visits!

Great beers--I was especially fond of the sour and the stout! Super friendly owners, too, who even helped my friends and I from DC set up a reading there when we were visiting for a conference. Loved the space, the beer, and the people. Highly recommend!

Just popped in for a quick beer, had a legit west coast IPA, cool place, good vibes!!

Good selection of beers. Brewery is very spacious and has a lot of cool art. Restrooms are very clean as well. Customer service is top notch. Forgot the guy's name but he was working there May 9th in the afternoon. Cheers to him!

Fun spot. They have an outdoors area with some food trucks and corn hole too. Inside it's pretty cool to hang out amongst the vats. Theres a collection of draughts to try. Just ask the bartender for a taste if you're unsure. Bathrooms are clean too, a big plus!!

Come watch the game and bring the pup. Enjoy a beer, play a board game. If you're lucky, you get a chance to talk to Cristina, who owns the place and works the bar regularly. Such a treat! A good neighborhood feel in a neighborhood with decreasing options. They do not have a kitchen, but you can easily bring your own food from outside or order food to the brewery. It will help you stay a while.

I was able to come visit for my friends birthday and it was a cool little neighborhood bar! It was pretty convenient that the brewery was below my friends apartment. I loved the Sour - Fuzzball that I had there. I didn't get to try any of the taco's but it definitely looked pretty good. Service was pretty quick and easy. I love that they were able to have the Lady who was promoting her juice brand. All of it was so delicious! If I ever get a chance to come back I'd love to try the other beers. They had a lot of tables inside and outside for people to hang out. The water dispenser was a little slow though, not sure if that could be fixed. Only tough part would be the parking in the area since it's pretty hard to find parking but we got lucky.

Came here before a concert at the Peacock and it did not disappoint! It's a microbrewery located in DTLA and they have selections ranging from Ales to Stouts. I had the Brauhaus and I enjoyed it! The worker was friendly and welcoming as well.

I stopped in here on my way home from work, just to let the traffic settle a bit. This was a Cool little spot, easy parking and really tasty beer. Not a huge selection but they have something for everyone for sure. The bartender was friendly. Seems like a local spot as everyone seemed to know him when they walked in. Im a sucked for IPAs and they have delicious West Coast Options on tap. If I'm on the area, I'd definitely be back

This review is based on being a guest at a special event that was held here and this local brewery in downtown LA. The hubby and I took a Lyft here although traffic and parking can be hit or miss in this area. There was actually some parking in the rear though on an early Saturday evening. Nice vibe, dog-friendly, and kind bartenders. Neither I or the hubby is a beer drinker but, we like the sour beer options! I went for the "Fuzz Box" option. You can taste from either mango which is more tart or the raspberry. Hubby chose mango and I liked the raspberry much better. Audio says the ABV is just 5.5 and to me it tastes almost like raspberry soda but, almost like having a glass of wine. I liked it so much that I got 2 of them. Although, Audio is a small place, there are several tables and chairs and seating at the bar. There are a couple of TV to watch a game. Lots of art work on the walls and a little Lego replica of Audio itself. Our party had maybe 20 or so people and Audio gave our hosts the liberty to decorate the party area. It very, very nice. I hear this is not a far walk from Cryto arena/LA Live. Even if you're not a beer person like me, I'd recommend the sours. If you are a local to this 90015 DTLA area, just visiting and into beer, I recommend supporting this local biz and do so responsibly.

I came for a speed dating event that was being hosted at this venue . I looked over the menu and they didn't have a huge selection of beers on tap . I didn't see any ciders and they only had one seltzer. The Beertender let me sample a few of the different beers . Overall she was very friendly and nice . The location can host a lot of people which is nice too . Onto the beer . I was not impressed . The seltzer was very bland and tasted like water . The sour was not great and the hazy was whatever . I'm not a beer snob by any means but for this to be craft beer it was lacking and wasn't giving what I thought it would . This place also doesn't serve food as well which is a huge disappointment because when I go to a brewery I want to not only try the beer but the food as well . Overall

4++ DTLA music/audio themed craft brewery located a short walk from Crypto/ Staples. Looks to have a good variety of styles on tap at a given time and the space has wide open seating in a large room with fun art and great decor. I'm not sure if they have food or snacks for sale (if they don't, I think the usual is that you are able to bring in your own food - just be sure to clean up after yourself. Campground rules! - strive to leave the place better than you found it). I rushed to get here to meet up with a buddy right before a Kings game so I wasn't able to get a great grasp on the offerings/ operations here. I was just able to try their west coast IPA. Classic flavor profile with the piney flavor you'd expect. Didn't realize until after I left, but they had a great sounding barrel aged barleywine on tap that I wanna try...hopefully it's still there next time. The beertender was very helpful in letting us know how to get to the arena quicker. Overall, just a great drinking spot to meet up with friends and that's conveniently located to some iconic locations in DTLA. I'm a fan. Parking could be tricky, especially depending on what is going on a particular date and what time of day. I found meter parking (after hours so free) a couple blocks away. It should be noted that at the current time of my car's life cycle, I wouldn't care if anything happened to it.

A group of us came to visit for the first time. I had tried their beer at pop up events in the past and was familiar with them, but I was excited to visit the tap room. I tried a flight of beer from light to dark and they were great. My personal favorites were the Fuzzbox which is a fruited sour and the Dark beer. I spoke to Christina who informed us of the different events they host along with food options. I really look forward to returning and checking those events out.

Checked out this local brewery in DTLA with a music theme and it rocked our beer glasses. Hi Def is an unassuming place from the outside. It has a location not close to a lot else going on it seems. A good thing if just wanting to go and enjoy some beers. The list has lighter ones as well as a few ones that are heavy. A small place but there's still a good amount of beers to choose from. It's about $7 a pint. These are the IPAs and lagers and stuff. Pay a few bucks more to get the Bass Clef. This is a double barrel rye and barrel aged barleywine, a strong one. Good flavors. It has notes of charred oak, dark cherry, fresh tobacco, and tawny port. This is $10 and it's not even a pint, but you will know why after you begin sipping. It's 15% ABV. Strong ass stuff. Can't drink more than a little bit at a time, so enjoy it. The rest of the beers are easier to be sure. Great place for drinking beers and watching games. It's like the kind of place for nerdy sports fans it seems. There's also fun events like trivia.

I don't often go to DTLA but every time I've been there HiDef wasn't yet open. I happened to be there on a Saturday afternoon and made sure that I made it over there to finally try it out. Early afternoon on a Saturday and it was quiet. Plenty of table space available and the parking lot turned outdoor patio was wide open as well. I sat and had three beers, which were tasty to okay. The beers were flavorful but generally lacked body. Service though was fine, with the bartender there to cheerfully provide any samples before a full pour. If you happen to be nearby it's a nice place to try out a couple fresh made beers.

I visited this spot for a friends birthday. It's easy to miss if you don't know what you're looking for. It's a decent size spot with plenty of seating. I love to start off with the flight and their flight card cards allow you to choose your own floor or allow for the beertender to set up the flight. I enjoyed my selection and got an IPA after. Staff was friendly. I would stop by again if I'm in the area.

So I've definitely been slacking off on yelp reviews - you can tell, as I've actually been here twice, a few months apart (the second time being last weekend - still just as great). I was definitely a little surprised to see a crat brewery where the beer list wasn't totally different after a few months - though it sounds like I was just early by a few weeks to see some changes. For good and bad, they don't seem to rotate beers as often - so the first time I was there, I got a flight, which I was glad they offer ($15 for 4 tasters, $4-5 tasters individually), then last weekend I popped in and checked what I said about them all on Untappd (the benefit of offloading your memory to various apps. Including this one!) The atmosphere is definitely "chill brewery", even at night, which I appreciate (feels a lot less pretentious than a lot of other breweries in LA, with beer at least as good). They've got a good amount of seating with a good amount of space, including some bar seating, and they've never felt overly busy when I was there (late evening on the weekend, both times). They also, more notably, had Smash Bros set up on a big tv with four controllers when I was there last time (was likely there the first time and I didn't notice, too), which is a pretty great idea. Beers I tried included - two great boozy aged dark beers (the Bass Clef is basically a boozy cocktail in beer form, exactly my kind of dark beer, so I will be sad if I go back later and it's gone); a solid peach sour; a solid raspberry sour; a couple solid hazies; and one *very* cool fermented oyster-shell michelada on draft they call the "ostralada", which was really a perfectly spicy, perfectly savory michelada. (Only complaint: I did bring back a four pack of that - it is definitely best when fresh. That's not their fault though.) I will be curious what does or doesn't change next time I'm there - I have a hunch the ostralada isn't going anywhere, since everyone talks about it , though I could be wrong. Pretty conveniently located from the blue line, too, which is definitely a plus if you happen to be getting to DTLA that way, which we usually are. (Especially if I'm going there to, among other things, drink beer!)

Stop The Presses! I have had the finest brew in the last decade and it comes from Lars Lesterud of HiDef Brewing. He call it Bass Clef and it is simply the most tasty creation I've tried since Firestone Walker came out with their Double Double DBA in 2012. After taking other delicious concoctions at this excellent brewery, I went for a taste of the Bass Clef. When I heard Lars was there, I had to meet this amazing artisan. He was so cordial and was very interested in my thoughts, a full discussion ensued. Before I left, I purchased a bottle of Bass Clef and asked him to sign it. Honored by this gesture, he happily agreed to. I am headed back to try more of his sensational creations but the bottle which Lars says will stay good for years to come as long as it's on its side and in a fridge will stay safe and stored for the future. It's a beautiful place to spend some quality time with friends. If you love craft brews, don't waste a minute and head over to HiDef.

DTLA isn't my first choice for locations to try mew restaurants or bars but when my wife learned about HiDef Brewing there was no way of talking her out of it lol. That proved to be the right choice because it's actually a really dope spot with a chill and fun atmosphere. They have a projector and tv that will air the local sports games and setup for a DJ. There are also board games and plenty of seating options to just grab a brew, relax, and talk with friends. The beer selection had several varietals of IPAs. I recommend The LIT for its hoppy taste and 7% ABV. The servers were friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and how the beers are made. Would definitely go back and encourage others to visit this establishment!

Found this little brewery a few blocks from the LA Convention Center while in town for a conference. Walked over because it was literally the only brewery remotely close. It was worth it. Small seating area. No food served. But good beer and WiFi, which is all I needed. I had a flight plus a few extra samples the brewer Lars slipped me while we were chatting. Cool guy. Made a legit BBA Barleywine that was worthy of the award it recently won. Go check this place out. It's a refreshing change from all the chains at LA Live.

What a solid brewery, stopped by yesterday and it's a nice location. The beers are solid and the music was great! Good prices and it's a nice size too. Definitely be back again

Beautiful Place amazing beer and great art. Cant wait to Throw some house music parties‍

Great three kind of iPA. There is no food, just beer. Also there are other beers like pilsner and stout.

Was in LA for an event and found this brewery. Great tasting beer with great staff. So friendly and inviting! Beer choices ranged from lagers, IPA's, Hazy, Stout & seltzers. Their octoberfest was also very good.

I love this place and it has become my default hang out in DTLA. Need a safe place to meet a Hinge date? Bored on a Tuesday? Looking to meet your neighbors? There is usually something going on here: food trucks, game nights, comedy shows, karaoke...The staff makes you feel like a close friend and they are always involved in South Park community events. The beer is pretty amazing too.

Came here to celebrate a cousin's surprise birthday party and we were not let down. The space is not huge but ample enough. It's clean, and the beertenders were kind and attentive. I cannot speak for any beer except for the like 14-15?% abv barley wine. Holy, this thing was delicious (and dangerous too). I think by the end of the night my girlfriend each had three of these. I can't wait for them to bottle this up so that I can bring some home! Seems like a semi new brewery but I wish them well as they truly have a lot of potential in this location. Check them out.

I recently came here for an event and the drinks were delicious, the staff were so respectful and kind. Especially Cristina who answered all my questions with detail and was so welcoming from the beginning. The bartender Domenic who was very attentive and professional. Brisa was lovely as well, kindly making recommendations and be so inviting. The space is modern, large, and cozy. Thank You to the entire staff for making me feel welcomed and treating me with so much kindness and respect. I appreciate you all!

Came here for a karaoke night the crowd was a good mix. Mostly late 20s early 30s. They only have beer no seltzers etc. I got the hazy which I always like. They sell snacks such as chips/jerky. But I believe you can order food and have it delivered. Server was great and knowledgeable. Would come back if I am in the area and in the mood for a beer. Parking is only street parking.

Been going here for nearly 3 years! Great neighborhood brewery! Love the owner Cristina, the different bartenders, and all the fun events put on for the South Park area. As I've continued to come to the brewery, the different bartenders would remember me, remember my usual orders, and even remember details of my life (work milestones, etc.). The venue itself is vibey and fun, and creates a nice ambience and feel. Overall, It's been a great addition to South Park and certainly helped the area feel like home when I moved nearby. Also, the beer is great too! I'm a particular fan of the Lit and pHazer.

Newer brewery about a year old. My first time here was last night on a Friday night. No one asked for my vax card nor ID, just walked right in. The owners are friendly. I was digging the two prominent art pieces - a neon cat at the entrance in the corner above the door and a green wall piece also at the entry. There was a hotdog/ taco truck. I ordered an asada burrito for $8 and was disappointed with it. Please note my review/ star rating is not about the food option. I tried the first 3 beers on their menu... I think pale ale , pilsner, etc. I honestly didn't care for any of them and I can't remember which one I ended up ordering. One side of the space is filled with pallets and other things. They can really make it more visually appealing by maximizing the space and adding more tables or seating and putting some art here as well. They have events during the week (trivia and DJ). Welcome to dtla and I wish them much success.

Fun new brewery in South Park! Very spacious, with indoor and outdoor seating. I love their outdoor area, with many spaced out tables, and there is a food truck there to satisfy hunger needs. Mitch is very kind and he helped me with my order. I ordered the Fuzz Box, which is a sour. Very smooth, delicious and refreshing beverage. Very cool vibe. I will definitely be a regular here.

A brewery with a funky ambience in the heart of downtown. As I understand it, it was opened in the heart of the pandemic, and I admire the owner for sticking it out through the difficult times. We came for a free comedy night with some friends. DTLA is still developing it's nightlife scene, so around the brewery was a bit desolate when we arrived in the 8 o'clock hour on a Friday night. The beer on tap was not my taste, however I am not a beer person so that's not saying much. We enjoyed the evening overall, and look forward to see what other events they might host in the future.

Great place to have an event. Lots of space. They do karaoke some times and it's fun. Food truck out back. Parking isn't hard. Good people. Go!

Hello, I just really wanted to share the incredible visit we had on a recent Sunday. The brewery was everything we could have asked for and more. When we came in, our first time we were greeted by our names. It was Trever the Owner. It was Comic-Con weekend and they had a DJ and all kinds of Artists out back with booths. The music was great not too loud. Great Staff and his wife Christina was busy working, too. Love her energy and coolness.

Cool eclectic joint with a powerhouse of a brew. 15%!? I believe!? Sheesh! If you're looking to get knocked while hanging out with some cool folks... Roll thru.

Such a cool spot in a building constructed in the 1920s. The owners really highlight the original brick walls and massive wooden beams in the ceiling. But the real highlight is the beer: we tasted some beers that are among the most unique I've ever had. Ostralada - a sour brewed with oyster shells. Just an amazing brew with a delicacy that is rare. I'm not sure I tasted the oyster shells, but there is a certain mineralogy to this beer - almost like a crisp white wine, but a beer. And then add in the spice from the habaneros for the "chelada" portion of this one. Amazing beer; I got a few packs. Juicy Hazy IPA - an extremely light flavor and body, yet still 7.6% abv. Amazing This place is a must- stop in DTLA

Went for the Next Fun Thing event in LA and it was a blast! Place looks cool and feels intimate, a lot of seating and the service was wonderful. Bartenders were super accommodating with the karaoke. I got some fries that were also delicious. No complaints! Will come again, thanks!

This is awesome spot to go to if you are near the crypto arena. The beers here are great as well. Staff is friendly so we are all content.

Completely unassuming brewery in DTLA. Looking on the map, I first thought it was in a sketch area, but it wasn't. It is really a gem in a quiet part of DTLA and deserves support from beer enthusiasts. Plisners and blondes were really well made and had a nice finish to them. I will return!

I discovered HiDef brewing since my cornhole club would play here on Mondays. I love their selection of beers, especially the Fuzz Box (with a rim). The staff is awesome, especially Stephanie. The music is always good and they often have fun events like Loteria night, paint night, etc. I would highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a good drink and good vibes at a decent price!

On the outside, HiDef Brewing appears to be a repurposed Nixon-era financial services building. On the inside, it looks like some nerdy teenagers from the 1980s who were really into esoteric science fiction and heavy metal decorated that former savings and loan with the aim of getting maximum use from their black light. Imagine The Dankness Dojo built on a $50 budget, and you'll get the idea. When I made the trek down to the desolate concrete wastelands of South Park on a Wednesday afternoon, I started with their German pilsner named, I'm assuming, for the drummer from Metallica. It was a pleasant surprise as newbie breweries rarely attempt lagers out of the gate ― Surprise, kids! Lagers are the most difficult beers, and your cherished IPAs are basically the Easy Bake Oven Beers for Dummies ― and this one was done well, not hopped to oblivion. Sadly, their blonde ale had an unpleasant taste of ash. A Russian imperial stout was chocolaty but unnecessarily boozy; this would've been far more satisfying made at half the ABV and without the alcohol burn. As for the big chunk of hophead beers on hand, I had no desire to even try them. Nothing was groundbreaking. Nothing made me think, "I've gotta come back!" The prices are higher than a brewery experience should be, but then breweries everywhere seem to be getting more and more expensive. (The days of the $4-$5 brewery beer are a thing of the past, it seems.) If you find yourself in the immediate area for some reason, sure, give them a look. But unless sitting in a nondescript room surrounded by art that looks like nothing so much as a collection of prog rock album cover parodies at the corner of Nowhere and Where-Am-I? is really your thing, there's no reason to make a special trip to HiDef Brewing.

It's amazing to have finally a nice brewery in Downtown LA. The beer is really good, they have a nice outdoor patio with food trucks Thursday-Sundays. The owners (Trevor and Cristina) are welcoming and friendly. Definitely the kind of spot that you should check out!

At a very cool brewery called Hidef Brewing downtown L.A, way cool vibe inside & outside. After sampling a few my favorite I chose was their 'Lit' 7.2ABV dank IPA combining blueberries, grapefruit, pine & tropical flavors.

My wife and I have very different tastes in beer. She likes hefs and lagers preferably with orange or mango in them. Me, I'm an IPA guy preferably no fruit except an occasional blood orange. HiDef was out of there orange wheat beer but had some great IPAs for me. And a good blonde my wife enjoyed.

Came here a while back ago and really enjoyed the beer flight. Service was good and so were the vibes. Would come back again if I happen to be in the area.

Larry is at it again, this dude knows how to make beer. Come for the beer stay for the food truck And then stay for more beer! Growlers to go. Ask Larry what his favorite beer is.

Nice beer selection. I love the art they have up. Super friendly, great place to bring friends or just stop by yourself for a quick drink.

There is literally no bad beer on the board. If you are a genuine beer lover or home brewer, come indulge in perfectly balanced art of brewing. The staff is also cool AF and Lars is a creative wizard of flavor !

This is a fantastic brewery in the heart of Downtown LA 2 blocks from Staples Center and LA live! I tried 4 types of beer and they were all fantastic and the best part if that the patio in the back has different food trucks every night of the weekend! It's a very nice space and I think will get better as restrictions ease. The Callback is great if you like light blonde beers. The Resonance Rye IPA is close to hazy and soft on the hops. I really liked this one Lit is a 7.2 pct alcohol IPA. They have a 9.8 I think as well. The Headspace is fantastic and their most popular IPA I think. This is a small family run business and run by Trevor and his lovely wife and the brewmaster! That's it! I lived in the building and passed by it while it was being built and finally decided to try it and support our local businesses. You can go up to them and ask about the beer. Everything happens right there. They just opened through the tough times of the pandemic so get down there and support them!

It was beautiful and delicious!!! Super cool. Maria is a great host and you can tell she gives the best service. The place is beautiful

Great beers and people! Would highly recommend. Must haves: Lit (WC IPA), Black Hole (Imperial Stout) and Bass Clef (English barley wine)

Three years on, this is still my go-to place and indeed my favorite bar of all time. Great for holding events or just coming by on your own or with a few friends.

Ok let's start here..I know my beer. My sadly round dad bod would prove that. So, when I tell you the beer here is not just good but great, trust me. I don't finish beers I don't like, too many calories I can't afford. I drank every drop of everything I had here. This place is under the radar but they shouldn't be. If you like beer (even if you're not a big beer person) and you live nearby, support this place. If you like beer in general, wherever you are, make your way here. Its worth it. They have all styles. They are all well done and balanced and all well above average. If the beer gods are just, this brewery will blow up. This is a brewery that any of us who come here now should be able to look back and say, "oh yeah, I went there before everyone knew about it, it's great." I would give you a few standouts but honestly no need, take a journey of discovery here. CHEERS!
