818 Brewing

818 Brewing, also known as 8one8 Brewing, is a community-rooted craft brewery and tasting room in Canoga Park founded by three San Fernando Valley residents who discovered their love of craft beer together and eventually turned it into a business. The brewery opened its tasting room at 8953 De Soto Avenue and has operated with an explicit commitment to the neighborhood, running a packed calendar of weekly events alongside the core mission of making good beer. The space is casual and intimate, with warm wood tables, industrial seating, posters, and the kind of easy atmosphere that makes it feel more like a neighborhood living room than a commercial brewery. Osborne Pizza Kitchen operates inside the tasting room, providing food daily. Mondays have trivia, Tuesdays include bike rides, and Saturday nights feature live music from 8 to 10 PM. The dog-friendly policy and family-oriented ethos make it accessible in ways that many bars in the area are not. For a San Fernando Valley music fan who wants live music in a low-key, quality-focused setting without the energy of a nightclub, 818 Brewing offers exactly that. The intimacy of the space means that performers and audience are in true close proximity, and the overall vibe strongly rewards acoustic, folk, jazz, and singer-songwriter acts.
