Golden Road Brewing Expands to Include Cozy Private Bar

Congress has cut federal funding for public media — a $3.4 million loss for LAist. We count on readers like you to protect our nonprofit newsroom. Become a monthly member and sustain local journalism.

Golden Road Brewing is about to get a little bit fancy pants. The brewery, who recently celebrated their one year anniversary, will be opening up a private area called Chloe before the end of the year. Though it won't be as hoity toity as a Hollywood nightclub, it'll be a little more upscale than their chilled-out, astroturf-clad pub.

Says the Times:

"Yet unlike the more boisterous pub next door, which now features an Astroturf lawn and an old English pub game named Aunt Sally, Chloe's has a more reserved, club-like feel. In fact, when the space is officially up-and-running toward the end of this year, Yanow expects Chloe's, decorated in vintage beer signs from long-defunct L.A. beer makers such as Maier Brewery, to host weekly gatherings open only to those in the beer industry ...Think of it as kind of an invite-only Golden Road-run beer guild."

The space will seat about 200, and thought it will hold industry nights, there will also be times when it will be open to the public. They also anticipate that it will be rented for corporate meetings, educational dinners, and even "beer geek weddings." That sounds like a Pinterest board waiting to happen.

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.

Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
