Let's be real. Your dad most likely doesn't want a mimosa brunch at a fancy Hollywood hotspot. Here are some chilled-out events that will indulge his inner foodie if he's more of a beer-and-burgers type of guy.
CollaBREWtive Beer Brunch: If you've already got plans to grill out on Sunday but want to do something special for your brew-loving pops, then head on over to Tiato in Santa Monica from 11:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Saturday. Firestone Walker Brewing Co. and Food GPS will be hosting their second edition of the Father’s Day CollaBREWtive Brunch. The event features a lineup of eight different craft brewery and coffee roaster pairings, as well as nibbles from 12 of the city's notable chefs. The breweries have whipped up coffee-infused brews for the occasion, and will also be serving some of the greatest hits from their portfolio. The event is kid-friendly, with plenty of games and booze-free beverages for non-drinkers. You can find out more about the brunch, which costs $65 per person GA, here.
Sam Adams Beer Dinner at Nelson's at Terranea: Terranea resort in Palos Verdes is hosting another beer-addled option for SoCal dads that love the coast. Theirs is on Sunday, and will take place at Nelson's, which has a stunning but casual patio with sweeping views of the Pacific. The dinner will include three beers by Sam Adams to pair with dishes like the Big Bite Bacon Burger”, giant pretzels, BBQ bacon wrapped shrimp, mini-Andouille sausage po' boys with beer mustard, steak kabobs, and ice cream sandwiches. There will also be live entertainment, and the giant fire pit will be lit for lounging. The dinner is $55 per person, and it's recommended that you make reservations by calling (310) 265-2702.

Sausage Making 101 at Lindy & Grundy: If your dad is really into grilling and chillin', then it's time to help him up his summertime game and show him how to make his own sausages. Lindy & Grundy will be offering a special edition of Pork 101, with a special appearance from farmer Lefty Ayers. Attendees will learn all about pig farming and pork butchery while snacking on BBQ pulled pork sandwiches with house coleslaw, potato salad, and house pickles. Then it's time to up to the butcher block for a pork breakdown demo, followed by some hands on pork-cutting and roast-tying with Lindy and Lefty.

As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
