Project Barley Square - Brewery & Restaurant

We were visiting town and looking for a dog friendly brewery to check out. We had been to the Project Barley at Redondo Pier and enjoyed their beers. I knew the pier wasn't dog friendly so we decided to visit this location. There was plenty of dog friendly places to sit. There was plenty of inside seating as well. We had the wings and the chicken salad. The wings were so tasty, crispy, and sauced perfectly. We had a key lime sour and a ddh dipa. Overall a solid spot if you're in the area looking for good wings.

Only had the tots, but they were crispy on the outside & fluffy on the inside. They were appropriately salted, well made. The beer was interesting tasting. The west coast & session hazy had a sweetness to them that started off intriguing, but seemed a little off to me by the end of the glass. I prefer a dank IPA. Loved the blueberry tart though!

Such a fun brewery to go to after work. I usually get their lomita after dark. Trivia night is good as well. Not related to the bar but be careful of her, Daelien. She tends to lurk around the area for aerospace men.

I had a draught beer and the fish and chips. The beer was passable; about what I expect, from Project Barley. Shamefully, they were down to only two cask beers, on a Saturday night. Somebody needs to make sure that doesn't happen again. The fish was absolutely fabulous. Thick, heavy cuts, tasty breading, and cooked to perfection. Sadly, the chips were scraggly and overall disappointing. The tender, thick cut fries of Yorkshire Square were entirely superior. Lastly, the vibe was good, as always. The spot is comfortable, inside and out, the staff was great, and the live music was cool.

Four stars because they still haven't fully ended their cask ale program. The focus seems to have shifted away, however. They only have 3 cask beers on at any given time (per the bartender), and when I visited there were no pub bitter, mild, or porter options. Just two brown ales and a pale ale. Wine, cocktails, and draft beer dominate the board. Everything (except the cask beers, thankfully) was being served in disposable plastic cups, unfortunately. It's not a great way to enjoy a beer, even if you don't care about the environmental impact. Maybe it was related to the music event going on out front. I can't comment on any of the food because I'm a weirdo vegetarian and wasn't in the mood for a black bean burger or salad, but those two options exist if you are in the same boat.

Went here for a soft opening with members of Barley Brent, Jason & Nate taking turns and doing an acoustic set. This place has a warm at home feel, this is a great addition to the other 2 Barley tasting rooms.. Sure to be music and fun happening, same as the other two locations. Went back last night and saw Nate play.. I do know it's Barley Square and a different type of brewery but I do wish that they had a selection of their beers from the Lomita brewery..

The tender explained the ipas to us and told us a cool story about how this iPa blend was created by a woman group of brewers. And I wondered why I bought it. I realized that she had shared the story about the pink iPa. And yes it was perfect.

Project Barley is a chill spot. I’ve been here a bunch of times for their live country music every other Wednesday. The atmosphere is cozy with the fireplace and love seats. The owners are super friendly and they have a fantastic beer selection. My personal favorite is the Shandy. They also have some picnic tables outside and a really cool vintage fireball pinball machine!
