Sunset Beer Company

Tucked away on Sunset Boulevard in Echo Park, Sunset Beer Company occupies a unique space in LA’s craft beer scene. Part bottle shop, part neighborhood bar, this unassuming spot has quietly amassed one of the most impressive craft beer selections on the eastside. The vibe here is refreshingly low-key—think cozy hangout rather than trendy beer hall.

What sets this place apart is the dual nature of the experience. You can pop in to grab a few bottles from their extensive to-go selection, which features an ever-rotating lineup of local and hard-to-find brews. Or you can settle in at the small bar and work your way through the rotating taps, discovering new favorites with each visit.

The atmosphere encourages lingering. Board games are scattered throughout, making it an ideal spot for groups looking for something more interactive than just drinks and conversation. Even better, outside food is welcome, so you can order from nearby restaurants and make an evening of it without worrying about bar snacks.

For beer enthusiasts seeking quality over pretension, Sunset Beer Company delivers exactly what you’d hope for—exceptional craft beer in a welcoming space that feels more like a friend’s living room than a typical bar. It’s the kind of place where you might stop in for one beer and find yourself staying for three.
