Craft Beer Brewed Right Here in Torrance

A brewery and restaurant on Van Ness Ave where every pour starts with grain and ends with something worth talking about.

About Us

Project Barley Square on Van Ness Ave in Torrance isn't trying to be every bar in the South Bay. It's a working brewery with a kitchen, and the combination shows in every visit. The space carries the honest weight of a place that makes its own beer on-site, where the aromas of the brew process are part of the atmosphere before you've even ordered.

With a 4.7-star rating across more than 335 reviews, the reputation here is earned rather than marketed. Guests return not because of a gimmick but because the beer is genuinely good and the food is worth ordering. The crowd on any given evening reflects that consistency, a mix of regulars who know what they want and newcomers who quickly figure out why the regulars keep coming back.

Torrance has a strong craft beer culture, and Project Barley Square sits comfortably within it while holding its own identity. This is a place built around the actual craft of brewing, and you can taste the difference.

What We Offer

Project Barley Square offers house-brewed craft beer alongside a full restaurant menu, making it a genuine destination rather than a stop along the way. The brewery side means you're drinking something made on the premises, with rotating and seasonal options that give regulars a reason to come back and try what's new.

The restaurant component rounds out the experience with food designed to pair well with what's on tap. Whether you're settling in for a full meal or just a few pints after work, the setup accommodates both without feeling like a compromise for either. The bar area and dining space work together as a single cohesive environment rather than two separate rooms with different personalities.

Located at 1109 Van Ness Ave in Torrance, the spot is accessible to the broader South Bay community. For groups, date nights, or a solo seat at the bar with something cold and fresh, Project Barley Square delivers the kind of experience that earns a loyal following.
