We kicked things off with a warm welcome from the fantastic team at Surly Goat. The vibes here are seriously cool, and trust me, they know how to mix it up!
Surly Goat‘s journey began in 2014, and they’ve been keeping the good times rolling for nearly nine years. From their humble beginnings as Sweeney’s Ale House to a Surly transformation, it’s been quite the ride. During the week, this place is your friendly neighborhood bar with happy hours, trivia, and even karaoke to unleash your inner superstar. But hold onto your hats because come Friday and Saturday, Surly Goat goes full-on nightclub mode with a DJ spinning tunes all night long.
Now, let’s talk craft beer. With a lineup of 27 craft beers on tap, Surly Goat is a beer lover’s paradise. And the best part? These brews are curated by none other than owner Ryan Sweeney, a true beer connoisseur. They’re all about building relationships with breweries worldwide, ensuring that every sip is a delightful experience. Craft beer isn’t just a drink here; it’s an art form!
But what’s a visit to Surly Goat without indulging in their legendary Surly Smashburger? This Angus beef masterpiece is paired with Surly fries, a flavor explosion featuring melted cheese, grilled onions, and their secret house spread. It’s a burger lover’s dream come true.
And if you’re in the mood for a unique sip, try the Dublin Donkey. This twist on the Moscow Mule swaps vodka for Tullamore D.E.W. Irish whiskey, adds a hint of ginger liqueur, and tops it off with ginger beer and lime juice. One word: YUM!
But the real star of the show? The Double Surly Smashburger! It’s all about those crispy edges, the dark patty, and the signature Surly flavors that make it a smash hit. Wash it down with one of their 27 brews on tap for the ultimate burger experience. We couldn’t resist trying the Fully Malted Jacket from Beachwood Brewing in Long Beach. Surly Goat‘s drink menu is a treasure trove of options, whether you’re into beer, spirits, or different scotch varieties. There’s something for everyone here.
So, where can you find the Surly Goat? They are located on Ventura Boulevard in Encino, between Louise and Encino. The north side of the street is where all the fun happens.
