Came in tonight for the first time with family from out of town and the bartender was so bothered by our presence. We know beer and didn’t ask questions and knew what we wanted but met with such agitation by the dude. Why are you mad we are spending money on your beer and money on your games? Just weird and unfriendly and we def won’t be back which is a bummer you had some of our favs! Pliny the elder and younger! You aren’t too cool to serve people Who are different from you.

Incredible rotating selection of many varieties of beer, including local, international, nitro, and rare finds. Chill environment and staff.

This little tavern has good energy. My boyfriend and I are very picky when it comes to places we go, and make sure the energy feels good. The pinball machines make it that much more fun. It’s the only video we got. 5 Stars on the beers and ciders. We always go here when we’re in town. Love it!

Great place for a large number of beers. Comfortable, open area for sitting, good music, pinball games and one arcade game. Biked in from OR, no place to lock them and wouldn't let us keep them inside

Wow! Best tap list in Nor Cal! Come for the Pliny but expand to other beers. Something for everyone, ciders and packaged libations. No food but take in friendly. Dog friendly but no one under 21.

The owners of Dead Reck are so awesome, they frequent the store I work at which is how I found out about this place. They create an awesome and welcoming environment in the bar and right next store they have a little shop if you just want a can for home!
