Beach & Brew Brings Self-Serve Beer & Wine to the Venice Beach Pier
09.02.21
Beach & Brew, Venice Beach’s first self-pour taproom and New American kitchen, has just opened in the area known as Washington Square. Located two blocks from the sand, the new concept offers a rotating selection of 40 self-serve beers, hard ciders, seltzers, and kombuchas, as well as California coastal wines.
Beach & Brew has taken over the former home of long-standing neighborhood favorite Kifune and is
intended to remain a comfort zone for local residents. The landmark Japanese restaurant has been
beautifully renovated into a modern upscale-casual space with a beachy yet urban feel.
Owners, husband-and-wife team, and experienced restaurateurs Gade and Daryl Dishluk wanted to
introduce the self-serve concept to their hometown and provide a space where guests can relax, taste new beverages, and experiment with different food pairings.
With iPourIt’s RFID-enabled self-pour technology, guests can serve themselves draft beverages using a wristband to activate the taps and keep track of their tab. The self-serve format allows users to explore and sample a variety of beverages as they please, without committing to a full pour.
“Venice Beach is our home and we’re really excited to be the first to offer the self-pour experience to our
neighbors,” Gade said. “The self-serve system cuts out the wait time and lets customers guide their
own tasting experience, which is perfect for the comfortable, laid back atmosphere we’ve created.”
The self-serve tap wall features a variety of regularly rotating local craft, domestic, and imported beer,
hard cider, hard kombucha, hard seltzer, and California coastal wine. Guests can also enjoy standard and specialty cocktails from the full-service liquor bar.
Executive Chef Jason Fullilove leads the dining program with 20 years of experience in hospitality and
restaurant management. His fun, flavorful New American seafood menu draws influence from global
travels and learnings from culinary figures around the world. Fullilove’s recipes are cooked from scratch
with fresh, locally sourced, in-season ingredients.

Burnt Crumbs Reopens at Pacific City & Adds Brunch
08.25.21
Burnt Crumbs has officially re-opened its Huntington Beach location at Pacific City and they've launched brunch too. It's been a tough road back for the guys and after considering the possibility of having to shutter their Pacific City location permanently, they received a federal grant that enabled them to re-open their fast-casual eatery.
Now they're bringing their popular brunch hits from their Irvine location to HB, including breakfast burritos, breakfast sandwiches, carne asada omelettes, and breakfast salads. Noticeably absent from the brunch menu offerings will be Chef Paul's fluffy Japanese-inspired souffle pancakes that are the star dish at the Irvine location, drawing long lines on the weekends.
In addition to new brunch items, signature favorites such as the Spaghetti Grilled Cheese, Southern Fried Chicken sandwich on housemade biscuit and Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich -- along with the return of its Western Burger with Angus beef, smoked cheddar, crispy onions, bacon and house BBQ sauce.
Open noon to 7 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday.
21010 Pacific Coast Hwy, Huntington Beach. 714.374.0777
