    Heh. Good luck with that one. :slight_smile:

    Three Weavers and Eureka are probably your only choices.

    Is Three Weavers any good?

    Eureka is pretty damn awesome and you'll want to get into the neighborhood as early as possible to avoid the usual mess so is a great option for dinner. It is at the Hawthorne Airport. Total hidden gem.

    We went to Three Weavers before the show on Wed. & it was excellent. Grab some take out before you go, and your're set. We thought the beers were pretty solid, and the convenience of bringing in your own food (they are totally cool with it) makes it a bonus. Or you can order food from the pizza joint down the block. I searched all over for a place to "warm-up" before the show & this was really the only option, & it turned out great. Awesome show too, enjoy!

    I'm going to the concert Saturday as well, I know it's not close but I'm going to Smog City before hand for the Cubblebug release. May have to make a stop at Three Weavers or Eureka too.

    Does Eureka have any decent beer?

    It isn't Father's Office, but it's a nice selection of common good stuff and sometimes great stuff from more common breweries (FW, Rue, LA).

    And it's in Hawthorne, so you take what you can get.

    I'll be at the Forum in a couple of months for Rush. Work at LAX.
    The closest brewery is Three Weavers down on Manchester behind Manchester Lock & Security. Three Weavers is not on Manchester. No food. Not sure sure if they have a food truck there. I've been a few times but earlier in the day. You also have El Segundo Brewing Co on Main St about 10 minutes further than 3W. Right scross the street from ESBC you have Rock & Brews. But what I would do is stop in Big Mikes Philly Cheesesteak sandwiches, pick up to go and take with you to ESBC or 3W. They are the closest your gonna get to the original. I prefer ESBC over 3W. 3W is good, but ESBC is on fire with their IPA's. Having a beer or 2 in the Forum parking lot is okay. I was there last year for Boston and we had 4 or 5 bombers and a growler next to Prarie Ave in front of the cops and they didn't care. The Forum does offer some craft. It's like a buck or 2 more than the sh!te beer.

    Edit: if your going to 3W, there's The famous Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles on the east side of 405. Randy's Donuts is on the west side of the 405. One more tip: the east side of the 405 U.S. not the best of neighborhoods.

    dcgunman has it nailed (and the addition of Eureka). I work in El Segundo and live in Hawthorne, btw.
    Or you could be crazy and head to Torrance for Smog, Monkish and Dudes. They all open at noon on Saturdays.
    Smog is having a bottle release so it might be a bit crowded.

    Coni'seafood, homie (http://www.coniseafood.com). Get some augachile, some ceviche, some camarones borrachos, or if you're super hungry and have some time the pescado zarandeado. Solid micheladas, too.

    Also what everyone else said, 3 Weavers is pretty good and quite close.
