• Take-Out
• Delivery

“I had a great experience here. The pizza came out hot and fresh, with a flavorful sauce, plenty of cheese, and toppings that went well together. The crust was especially good—crisp on the outside without being too hard, and soft in the middle. The staff were friendly, and the food was ready in a reasonable amount of time. It’s a great spot when you’re craving a satisfying pizza, and I’d happily come back to try another one.”

4 Brix Factory Brewing

4.8 Superb 57 Reviews

2400 Mandela Parkway, Oakland · 4.72 miles

“Brix is a gem! The bartenders are very friendly and knowledgeable, and make great recommendations if you’re not sure which beer to order. Usually I let the bartender Kira pick a beer for me and she never misses! There’s a bunch of different food trucks that come, and a great pizza spot next door so you’re able to bring your own food. Brix also hosts fun events like animal adoption, clothing swaps, art shows, and even drag shows occasionally. Definitely a great and welcoming place to hang out and grab a drink!”

5 Enterprise Brewing Co

4.8 Superb 56 Reviews

1150 Howard St, San Francisco · 9.77 miles

“Small brewing and bar operation. Walking in it looks a bit industrial, rustic and impersonal with a concrete and brick motif but give it a minute and it turns out to be a warm place with friendly people and a great guy pouring a nice pint. Shout out to Jesse Hayter! Bartender – creating a unique and individual experience for every patron… the relaxing atmosphere helped us connect with a couple of others, an architect from the neighborhood, a guy reading a book… They play vinyl records on a DJ deck … mostly “oldies” of some sort and leaning country bluegrass during our visit. They have a good selection of 45s and albums for sale, including pre-packaged “mystery” packages at reduced prices. Bar seating of 10 or so, plus four high top tables inside. There’s a window bar to stand inside or on the sidewalk. They are located just down the street from Frisco Choppers, so occasionally you need earmuffs when a big chopper heads down the street. Local and friendly patrons, plus a friendly bartender and good beer make this a great off-the-radar stop.”

6 Sante Adairius Rustic Ales Oakland Arbor

4.9 Superb 76 Reviews

460 8th St, Oakland · 6.11 miles

“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!”

7 Oakland United Beerworks

262 2nd St, Oakland · 6.53 miles

• Take-Out
• Delivery
• Drive-Through

“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.”

12 Woods Lowside

4.6 Superb 67 Reviews

530 Haight St, San Francisco · 10.85 miles

• Delivery

“Fabulous spot for interesting wine and beer and if your timing is right, great food! Even when the kitchen is closed, non-sold out empanadas are fabulous. We were early on a Sunday afternoon and the picnic table filled patio was mostly open. Later, lots of duds came in with their people. Diverse clientele both human and canine. Inside room is spacious plus bar seating. Very friendly service. Would be my hangout if I were local. Each bathroom has a cool character, good TP but not a fan of locker room brown paper hand towel dispensers. Grade A, bathroom B, over all, A-.”

“Stopped in Saturday night to grab some freshies and check out the brewery for the first time. Ended up having an amazing conversation with Brennan about beer, music, and community — exactly why I love beer and what the industry should feel like for patrons. And most importantly: the beer is outstanding. This pils is everything I look for — depth, balance, and character that only comes from time, care, and quality ingredients. By far the best lager in the bay- yeah I said it! Consider me a future repeat customer 🙌”

14 Otherwise Brewing

4.6 Superb 57 Reviews

1402 Grant Avenue, San Francisco · 8.48 miles

“As someone with Celiac disease who *loves* beer, I was thrilled to find Otherwise Brewing. They have the biggest selection of gluten free beers that I have found yet. I enjoyed getting a flight and sampling several of their beers. I really enjoyed the pale ale, the IPA and the stout. Staff was very helpful, too. Thanks for a great visit.”

“Nothing like having a beer before dinner. This is a place for a beer before dinner or a place to go for dinner/beers. The beer I had was tasty. The pizza smells from the kitchen were delicious. There were tables inside and outside to sit. Server was very friendly and willing to give samples. Don't forget about the arcade games! Bring your change or don't, they have a quarter machine. **protip: they have their own parking lot! Definitely recommend.”

“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.”

“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!”

“Ample seating - we found 75% of the seats happened to be in strong wind, but taking shelter at a table behind the building completely blocked the wind. Just beware of bird poop seats! The beer and pizza were great and the place was deserted on a Sunday evening.”

“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!”

30 Almanac Adventureland & Brewery

4.4 Superb 128 Reviews

651 West Tower Avenue, Alameda · 7.16 miles

“Family friendly brewery, which is so great, but the sandboxes are more for very young children. My 7 and 9 year olds liked the arcade, but that meant more $$$. I had thought there would be a play structure, based on the website, but there is not.”

32 Standard Deviant Brewing Pier 70

4.9 Superb 7 Reviews

1070 Maryland St Ste 195, San Francisco · 10.03 miles

“We came to the new Standard Deviant at Pier 70 (second San Francisco location) to celebrate a friend's birthday, and much like my previous visits, I was pleasantly surprised by how vibrant and busy the space was. It makes complete sense. The venue is absolutely tailor-made for large groups, and it’s incredibly kid- and dog-friendly. The Space & Vibe: The architecture here is stunning. Built with sleek modern styling and reclaimed steel from the historic shipyard, the massive accordion doors create a seamless indoor/outdoor flow. With its high ceilings and exceptional natural light, the interior is beautifully sun-soaked, catching a perfect light breeze right off the bay. It delivers those scenic waterfront views while maintaining the distinct, welcoming design language that Standard Deviant is known for. The Beer & Service: The team handles the crowds beautifully. Service was fantastic, fast, and friendly. As for the drinks, the beer selection is incredibly refreshing, featuring a great lineup of diverse, true-to-style brews. Verdict: This brewery is a phenomenal addition to Pier 70 and an absolute go-to spot in the city for casual group gatherings, great design, and excellent bay-front beers. Highly recommended!”

33 Park Station

4.4 Superb 53 Reviews

1200 Park Street, Alameda · 9.16 miles

“What's not to love about this place? - It's got a really great selection of wines and beers (and I'm guessing NA stuff too). - It's dog friendly. - It's kid friendly (although, blissfully, they're usually outside). - It's got a ton of seating and space. - The staff are knowledgeable and helpful. You can also get food from Southies, or bring food from any of the other places along Park Street (I believe). It's a really great place to just come and sit with some friends or even alone. It can look chaotic from the street, but I find it strangely peaceful. And I can only imagine that it would be a terrific place to host a party.”

37 Citizen Pizza

4.0 Good 4 Reviews

1160 Sixth Street, Berkeley · 0.46 miles

“I LOVE this pizza. Knuckle head flavor is my favorite (sausage, red onion, mushrooms). A lot of meat eaters and vegetarians love and prefer their Margherita. It's a thin pizza, similar to New York, I hear. Love their crust. Quality ingredients. Eat it fast as it cools down quickly. Careful with the first slice as the crust is very thin and the toppings can slide off. I love that we can enjoy beverages at Fieldwork and enjoy Citizen Pizza at the tables. I prefer their knucklehead, but my partner prefers Margherita. So, what to do? No worries! Depending on which you pick, you can get these two flavors, one flavor on each half of the pizza - half and half. They'll just charge you for the pricier costing one. Vegetarian options: Margherita pizza, shishito peppers, popcorn, vegan pizza”

“For sake and wine lovers alike this place is a must! Learn about Sake while enjoying a guided tasting to help you deepen your knowledge about the difference between each type of Sake available. The next step is to watch a short video of how Sake it’s actually brewed followed by a visit to their museum where they have gathered many of the old and original equipments to brew Sake, I haven’t seen anything like this anywhere in the US. I hope you too enjoy it as much as we did!”
