Sante Adairius Rustic Ales Oakland Arbor Brewpubs •
460 8th St, Oakland - 6.11 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.“

Hoi Polloi Brewing Taproom and Beat Lounge Brewery • $

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.“

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!“

“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!“

Almanac Beer Co. Brewery • $$
651 W Tower Ave, Alameda - 7.16 miles

“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.“

I’m not really a beer person myself, but down to hangout here when people pick it and most people seem to enjoy it. It can definitely get loud, so keep that in mind. They do serve food, which is fine - not amazing, not terrible, just okay.

If you’re into large brewery vibes, this could be your spot. Personally, I don’t go out of my way to come here, but I also wouldn’t be upset if a group wanted to meet up here.“
