Mt. Lowe Brewing Company — Restaurant in Arcadia

Our first time here, we had gone here for Steady Garage's Friday Kik Bak Bike Show. I was fortunate enough to be selected to have my bike on display. This place has a very welcoming and chill vibe. The people who worked here were super nice. I'm not much of a beer fan, but I wanted to support and see what they had to offer. They have a huge selection of beer to choose from. I was surprised they had an offering of items like sparkling raspberry lemonade, a berry awesome series, and wine. They had something for everyone. I decided to go with a jolly rancher apple that they had. It was light and not too sweet. I was debating on trying the berry one but decided to stick with this for the whole night. I loved that they had cookies made by Sourdoesisters. I saw a flyer outside their window and was interested in pre ordering a sourdough loaf. You definitely must try them. Pumpkin chocolate - light and pumpkiny - it tasted like a muffin top Chocolate Chip - I can't go wrong with a classic. Red velvet - I'm not a fan of red velvet, but I had to try, and it was light and tasty. Strawberry cookies made with real strawberries - This was my favorite it was so different. I never had a strawberry cookie made with real strawberries before. It was moist and not too sweet. The layout of this place was pretty cool and spacious. They had a private event going on when we were there as well. The taco vendor they had there was a hit. I definitely see us coming back here soon, even if it's not for a bike event. The location was cool, and there was...

I communicated with one of the owners completely through text regarding setting up for our PTA mixer. I was not sure how it was going to go doing all of this sight unseen. My other board members had been there before and recommended we do our event there but I had never even seen it.

Communication was quick, clear and friendly. I thought Emily was a delight to deal with. Setup was fast and easy. We originally booked the outside patio area but it was so warm out that it was decided that we should move it inside. It was not an issue at all.

There is no food served there, so we were able to bring our own entrees and desserts. There was also a food truck outside. The only thing not allowed was outside alcohol.

I didn't realize it was kid and family friendly. There was literally an infant being rocked by her dad! LOL! There were a few bar games: darts, shuffleboard and, hook and ring.

A bunch of the dads got the flights of beer, one got a second. Every one of them loved the Scooby-Doo.

Everyone had such a good time. I had never been to a brewery before in my life and was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed it, despite not being someone who drinks alcohol (hence why I've never been to a brewery). However, I had such a good time that I would go back again with my friends who love...

April 2022 - Went on a Thursday night. No wait.

Food/Pricing - $2.25 for most tasters. $3.25 for the Glitter AF. They had a food truck but I didn't partake. The beers were okay and didn't taste the same as when I last came a couple of years ago.

Service/Ambiance - Service was okay. At one point I could've sworn I saw one of the bartender sniffing at the taster after he poured it... almost like he was trying to figure out if he poured the correct one?? Then proceeded to place it onto the table to serve to customers. It was a bit disturbing to say the least.

We really came here to enjoy the chill vibe and it usually is but little did we know they had live (and too loud) music that night. Even when we sat the furthest we could from the music, it was still difficult to hear one another speak.

Will I be back? Likely not for awhile, unless friends...
