33 Best Beer Bars near Alameda

“Over in San Francisco from Perth Australia and popped in for a couple of beers, awesome spot and great beers, staff were super friendly and even grabbed some merch, get yourselves over and support these guys and have a cracking pint or four“

“Great beer selection, friendly staff and sunny warm patio to enjoy it all.“

“Cool tour, and The Rake has an excellent selection of their customers’ beers on tap!“

“Alameda Brewing is an amazing neighborhood spot! We met up with friends visiting from out of town, and it was the perfect, laid-back environment to catch up. The atmosphere is super family-friendly (we had all our kids in tow), the service was great, and the beer was fantastic. I loved the German Lager and the Burma Ale (fun fact: they told us it was crafted to pair perfectly with Asian food). I especially love their open food policy; we brought in some amazing BBQ from Fisque next door. Highly recommend this place and will definitely be back!“

“We visited Alameda in April to attend a celebration of life for a family member that we lost suddenly. Our family was in town from all over the country, and we found Cafe Jolie Petit near our hotel. They took such great care of us, fed us meals on three or four consecutive days, and we could not have asked for better service or food during an emotional time. Pastries (Koiugn Amann!), Monte Cristo, and the coffee bar were our favorites, but everything we had was delicious. We hope to be back for happier circumstances at some point, and definitely will return!“

“really like this place because it's family-friendly and has a variety of food. I like it because they have burritos. I highly recommend it.“

“Sante Adairius truly makes some world-class beer. They have a versatile lineup all the way from West Coast IPAs to saisons, making their taprooms a true beer lover's dream. I didn't catch our bartender's name, but he was very friendly and fun to chat with. Can't wait to come back next time we're in town!“

“Such a friendly place for a drink- they offer non-beer alcohol (sangria!) and NA beverages so there's something for every adult.

Very dog friendly place that raises a lot of funds for local charity. One of the owners, Chris, is often around welcoming everyone and may give you free samples!

They have a small bar inside with a new reading nook, and upstairs has tables and high tops. Local clubs happen upstairs, like Magic the Gathering.

Nice outdoor picnic tables. No food though (just snacks), so check out Heschers for Detroit pizza or Original Pattern for Napolitan pizza.“

“Delicious oysters are available for $1.00 ea with the purchase of a bottom of wine or champagne. Good burgers, good vibes,friendly staff, and relatively easy street parking; there is also a parking garage nearby. The only reason it didn't get 5 stars for atmosphere is that it has high ceilings, and probably would have been loud if it were crowded.“

“We come by almost every Friday and have lunch at Cato's. The staff is extremely friendly and the service is top notch! It's always rejuvenating to be at Cato's and start our weekend with good food, tasty beverages and a few good laughs with the welcoming folks that work and patronize the Ale House.“

“I have passed by this place on my way to Peets. (It's next to Peets). I ordered a kids cheeseburger and animal fries 🍟$22 . Not a bad price for 2 people to share. The kids burger was delicious I wish I would have gotten extra pickles for the AF. I'll be back.“

“The delightfully friendly staff serve up truly delicious caffeinated concoctions...a wonderful way to start the day.“

“I don't what Oh G Burger means, but to me it's OMG what a great Burger! Seriously, it's the best burger I've ever had and I'm almost 75. Served fast and piping hot, fresh off the griddle. Beautiful crispy edges on the smashed patties, quality toppings and a fresh bun. Awesome thin fries, drinks served in glass jars. Fun '50s/surf vibe too. Go!“

“It’s the best Restaurant in town came with Family and we had a great time! Food was great and drinks 🍹 we all loved the dessert as well! Just amazing service and food! My Favorite for sure! 2914 College Ave Berkeley Ca“

“This place is awesome! We hosted a group party of 12, and Rory was amazing. He helped us learn some of the games and was so enthusiastic about them. He was super attentive, and honestly, all of the staff were incredibly friendly and genuinely excited to have us there playing board games. We had such a great time and would definitely come back!“

“great location downtown Oakland. price is good. Food is good.“

“Such a terrific little bar! Top notch, small batch beers from talented local brewers. Something for everyone: IPAs, pales, pilsners, saisons, sours, and (often) my favorite Belgian beer styles. Casual, friendly vibe. A great place to go with friends, on date night, or solo (laptops fine). Can bring in food, games, or your dogs. Hoi Polloi is a real gem.“

“Best bartenders, awesome owners, killer sound and all around good times always!“

“Fantastic selection of beer, wine, & food from their grill. Be sure to try one of their renown Smash Burgers, vegan burger, or their vegan Brat sausage plate! Good vibe, lively ambience, with a variety of indoor and outdoor seating options, plus some fire pits. A favorite East Bay brewery!“

“Always a great time!! Selena is the best in the Bay and DjJoe and Hector Play the best Jams!!!!“

“Came here with my girlfriend on a Friday night, and we had a great time. Reservations are pretty much required, so set that up ahead of time!

The location and decorum were both amazing. Views of the water while enjoying a meal with friends or loved ones - can't beat it!

They have a colorful selection of drinks, but they're not cheap so be warned! I had the guava Mai Tai which was delicious.

The food was outstanding. The Hawaiin fried rice is better than I expected - I could eat a mountain of it on any given day! The beef/reef skewers and pork chop were good too, so I'm excited to try something else next time.“

“Love the live music of the Ripplers And Secret Sauce!“

“Dropped into this place to grab a few drinks before our show at the Fox theater and highly recommend. Great cocktails, local brews, and knowledgable bartenders. No food but you can bring your own, and the takeout from the thai place just down the street they recommended was amazing.“

“My friend was visiting from Washington. First time for both of us. The waitress was wonderful, explained everything. We had the 3 item bag. oh so good !!! mild sauce was just perfect. The shrimp and mussels were cooked perfectly. Will definitely be back with the family. 🦐💕“

“Really nice friendly vibes. I like how the environment and music was while I played on one of their many pool tables. The bartender (Andre) was attentive and friendly. He is also engaging and has allot of knowledge about drinks. He helped guide my experience and we decided on a Manhattan (which was perfect). I will definitely return soon!!!“
