The Rake at Admiral Maltings

Great drinks and small plates. Always plenty of outdoor tables, good (not too loud) music, dog friendly, and nice staff who will remember you.

My mom and sister and I stopped in while driving around the old navy base my mom used to be stationed at and we had an absolutely lovely time. John the bartender gave us such amazing service and the music they were playing was top tier! All the staff was so friendly and easy to talk to. The food was amazing and I discovered my new favorite cider here! Highly recommend. Amazing atmosphere and indoor and outdoor seating. Beautiful plants everywhere. Cant wait to come back! Definitely stop by!

Come out and check this place out it's really cool the inside has all the Hops layout inside a room and you could see them through the glass. They also have a really good selection of beers. A nice open floor plan so when you're in Alameda stop by and have yourself a cold one.

The Rake was gracious enough to rent out their amazing space to us for our wedding reception in 2023. Great menu, great staff, great memories. They’ll forever hold a special place in our hearts for hosting us on our big day. We’d give it 10/5 stars if we could ?

The beers are great. I love that you guys highlight the breweries that use your malts.

Now on to the bad, the brisket. It was honestly the worst 30+ dollar plate of food I can remember. Everything on the plate was bland. The brisket was tough, the fat wasn't rendered, it was completely unseasoned. There was no smoke on the brisket, which is odd for 'bbq'. It was just a tough pile of grey meat. I was also served not hot maybe 60 degrees. The only thing done right about the brisket was it was sliced against the grain.

In a parking lot next to a gym. Off putting atmosphere. Ribs were extremely tough. Under- marinated and undercooked. Sauce was bad, tasted like a tomato based chipotle sauce that didn’t fit the palette of the meats. Links were okay. All sides were under seasoned and no salt or hot sauce was available. Servers seemed upset to be at work. Snack bar style service. Pretzel and beer was great ? beer cheese 10/10

Last weekend I was traveling and not used to carrying a backpack. I just set it down and left it there - I wasn't even drinking lol but the staff kept it safe and were so proactive, I was able to pick it up the next morning before my flight. Very grateful for their help!

Pretty mediocre food and beer with the exception of the pickled veg which was scrumptious
