Opened as a working brew pub in 1991 and renamed brewco in 2010, brewco closed its doors on January 31st and will reopen as an elevated social house gathering spot that embodies the spirit of Manhattan Beach.

Our restaurant cultivates a warm and inviting atmosphere for lunch, seamlessly transitioning into a memorable dining experience in the evening. brewco is crafted to appeal to those seeking both a casual and refined ambiance. Our space blends the beauty of nature with the comfort of modern design. From interior trees to natural stone, brass accents, and tiled touches, every corner of Brewco exudes coastal charm and relaxed intimacy. Our environment feels sophisticated, yet modern with earthiness, refinement, and classic elegance.

We are looking for experienced Expeditors/Food Runners to get in on the ground floor as part of the opening team. We will be opening on May 1st, 2024 so we are looking to fill these positions quickly. Paid training will start April 22nd. Prior experience, open availability and weekends are required. The restaurant will be closed Mondays and Tuesdays (subject to change in the future), so there are Wednesday thru Sunday shifts available.

What does brewco serve? Our food is true Californian, emphasizing dishes that are driven by local and sustainable ingredients with attention to seasonality and on the bounty of the region. We will serve rotisserie chicken, wood grilled meats and fish, fresh salads, sushi and incredible appetizers. Each dish is crafted with care and creativity, leaving you feeling special and taken care of with every bite. brewco features an extensive selection of craft beers, curated eclectic wines, and a cutting edge cocktail program.
