Imperial Western Beer Co. (CLOSED)

Leave it to 213 Hospitality to reimagine one of L.A.'s historic spaces with a jaw-dropping new beverage program. The team behind revamps such as Cole's (and its speakeasy, the Varnish) and Casey's Irish Pub brings us Imperial Western Beer Co., an 18-barrel brewery and beer bar housed in a show-stopping wing of Union Station. There are more than 20 beers on tap, some for as little as $5, with a focus on sours, IPAs and lagers—with a few stouts thrown in, for good measure. There are game tables galore, not to mention bar bites such as fish tacos, grilled oysters, burgers and fried mushrooms. Its sibling cocktail bar, the Streamliner, slings efficiency-oriented classic cocktails in a moody adjacent space—with all drinks under $10, so you can save that money for even more travel.
