Almanac Beer Co. Brewery • $$
651 W Tower Ave, Alameda

“Nice beer choices even though our selection, things we hadn't tried before, didn't wow us for hazy IPA's. The venue however is awesome and difficult to rate.

There's the very nice beer garden, a variety of food venues, eclectic beer selection and other drinks such as the slushee and rose...

Service quality varied depending on the stand, but was friendly at the brewery. We liked the eclectic ambiance of the place, very fun.

The place is hopping so parking can be tough despite street and dirt lots around.“

Alameda Island Brewing Brewery • $$
1716 Park St, Alameda

“Great local spot with friendly staff, good beers (I'm an IPA guy and find all of their offerings very solid, but their non IPA beers are also quite good). Not too loud inside and good table space. Can get outside food from a number of locations easily. Generally a great place to unwind and hang out.“

Park Station Brewery •
1200 Park St, Alameda

“Alameda needs more beer gardens like this. Park Social has such a good vibe — open, friendly, and relaxed. Great beer selection, and the popcorn chicken is honestly the best I’ve ever had. Wish it was right on the beach with a bay view, but still one of my favorite spots in town.“

Faction Brewing Brewery • $
2501 Monarch St, Alameda

“Faction Brewing is a wonderful, local brewery! On a perfect day, enjoy a beer or cider on their patio overlooking the San Francisco Bay and city skyline. Catch it on a gloomier day and you can still enjoy a crafted beverage in their large indoor spaces. We host our annual donation drive here in the spring and the staff is always so fantastic. Highly recommend Faction Brewing!“

Tenma Beer Project Brewery • $$
6510 San Pablo Ave, Oakland - 6.23 miles

“I've just returned to New Zealand and took one of these beers back with me from a bay area visit. OMG I'm the biggest fan of WCIPA style and the sphere of eternity is up there with Pliny the elder as the best in class. So impressed and if I could find a way of importing I would happily pay anything for more of it. I need to find an excuse to come back. Love and respect. Kevin“

Sante Adairius Rustic Ales Oakland Arbor Brewpubs •
460 8th St, Oakland - 3.02 miles

“One of the state’s top ten breweries, and an option that flies in style, under the radar. Sante Adairius’s Oakland Arbor is a confident, quietly ambitious outpost that brings the Capitola-based brewer’s precision and ethos to the East Bay without losing the neighborhood feel. Housed in the former Trappist space, the Arbor respects its roots—original brick, polished wood, calm lighting—while projecting its own identity: more focused, less cluttered, and centered on the beer. The taplist is broad but purposeful. Signature saisons like Bernice remain touchstones, but the Oakland team expands the range with rustic lagers (Surge Capacity), unfined West Coast IPAs (New Brighten), and delicate low-ABV offerings (A Small Rest). Barrel-aged specials—like the layered, contemplative Bedside Manner—debut here and routinely impress. No filler. Even when they chase style trends, execution stays tight. Prices reflect the ambition ($9–$12 pours…) but the quality holds. Staff are attentive without performance. A small kitchen offers savory snacks, but beer is the point.“

“Shoutout to Mollie and the team at Cellarmaker Berkeley; we recently held our wedding reception and it was lovely! Cool ambience, great beers, plentiful delicious food.

“We stopped in for a beer on our honeymoon and loved the upstairs area to play some fun games and sand shuffle board! The beers were delicious and they had great service. It was a warm day and the airflow wasn’t great upstairs or down so that’s the only negative but we’ll definitely be back for more beers!“

The Terminal at Line 51 Brewing Company Brewery • $
303 Castro St, Oakland - 3.23 miles

“Line 51 was an amazing venue for our after wedding Sunday brunch and the space was one of our favorite parts of the weekend! Sarah was the absolute best and was so fantastic and accommodating with our event planning and set up. The space was so wonderful and exactly what we were looking for. Huge shout out to Carlisle for dealing with about 90 guests and several children running around and managing everything with patience all by themselves. We received so many compliments from our friends and family about how fantastic the venue was, the beer, and the atmosphere. We are definitely recommending Line 51 to all of our friends for their next event or for a nice cold one!“

2031 Fourth St, Berkeley - 7.68 miles

“I love this place and their beer! I first had one at Alvarado Street Brew in Monterey, CA. They’ve got great sours and fruit forward IPAs for me and beer that tastes like beer for my BF. I wish they had more seating but that’s not a reason to rate below 5 starts. Maybe they will open a bigger location in Alameda or Oakland ?? DOG FRIENDLY“

“Wow, I’m not usually a sauerkraut fan except in a Ruben, but Headlands sauerkraut side served with the sausage plate is the best I’ve ever had! It has jalapeños in it giving it a perfect amount of mild spice. And get the brown and/or IPA mustard for the sausage. Yum!“

The ambiance is warm and inviting with a clean, minimalist look. The beer is stellar, and they always keep variety on tap. Hoi has become an anchor for the neighborhood.“

“We went to two locations this weekend visiting from Portland & both were great! I have to rave about the service at the Barrel Room! On our way to the airport we made one last pit stop & the bartenders were AWESOME. Beer was fresh & delish. Building is dope. Lotsa kids really isn’t our thing but it’s so spacious you have plenty of room to vibe. Accidentally knocked my beer off the table & was rewarded for my bad behavior with a fresh brew on the house because accidents happen! So good. ? Will be back.“

“Such a cool place! It's tucked away in a business park and if you didn't know it was there you would never see it. They have a great selection of craft beers and will let you sample any and all until you find your favorite. They have a little food truck that serves small bar food items, nothing special. The employees are super friendly and helpful with helping you select a beer. They have a bathroom trailer set up which is clean but with such a big space, they should have an indoor bathroom. Had a great time though“

We sampled more than ten different Daijinjo, Junmai and Kinpaku. But my favorite is still the Daijinjo!

“So I had my first taste at two pitchers brewing company on my way home from my bachelor party. I sat at a long table with my four brothers and my father, and we ordered six blood orange radlers not truly knowing what that was. It immediately became one of our favorites. And a tradition of mine. Every year for my anniversary, I make sure I have two six packs of blood orange radlers with me on my anniversary. My wife and I both very much so enjoy them and I very much so enjoy reminiscing of that lunch with my brothers and my father. So thank you for making such an amazing drink. And cheers to many more years of tradition.“
