I just discovered this great brewery. They have a nice array of IPA's and don't miss the Coffee and Cigarette's Stout. Yum. I only tried the meatballs, but they were very tasty with just the right amount of spice. The SF Chronicle food critics highly rate their pizza. They have a special pizza of the day plus a couple of standards. Big open space inside and out for big gatherings and also comfortable for me and my husband. We would have preferred different music, but other people seemed to like it. Don't miss this neighborhood gem.

We get a lot of distro of cellarmaker in the No so I honestly had all but 2 or 3 offering on their menu whe. I popped in to the ol rare barrel location. Doesn't matter. They make killer westies and some good hazies and everything else in between. I tried the barleywine collab with private press and it was layered in complexity. Love cellarmaker!

Great variety of beers + other drinks. Great service & food options.

Great place to have a beer. Open design and lots of seating, inside and out. They make a fantastic Hazy IPA imo.

Amazing beer. Not pleasant ambiance. Charged $6 for the smallest slice of cheese pizza I had ever seen (with the consistency of microwave pizza). And $15 for rare barrel 375s - not overpriced, but ridiculous.

Really like this place. It's the old Rare Barrel and they still sell their beers as their sour line. Large, spacious, and very family friendly. Lots of room both indoors and outdoors. Should also mention the obvious that the beers are excellent. Cellarmaker is one of the best breweries in the Bay Area and stacks up with the best I've had throughout the states.

Cellarmaker was another brewery in California I have been meaning to try and the opportunity came up and it was great to take the opportunity and enjoy their beer! Steve and I had their Pale Ale known as Tiny Dankster. This was a good, solid Pale Ale and was very refreshing to drink. Flavor features with this beer are tropical, dry and clean flavor characteristics. I do love the dry and clean aspects to a flavor profile than I used to so it's always fun to detect those highlights when drinking craft beer or cider. The beer is light and hoppy as well and it all rolls together very well to make a very solid beer. Good first time experience with Cellarmaker!

Great selection of brews and lots of options for eating in. They are very nice that although they have a variety of food options, they still allow you to bring in your own food and pets (as long as they don't get too rowdy)! I haven't eaten here often, but the beers are great and love the rotating selections. During Oktoberfest, they had limited selection brews at 0.5 Liters or 1.0 Liters (such a hugeeeee glass/mug). This may have been rare barrel brewery in the past, I love that they carry rare barrel brews in bottles so you have an entire selection from there also! Lots of outdoor and indoor seating and frequent events or small local shops with booths set up. Def a fun time at Cellarmaker. When it gets busy, the beer line can get verrryyyyyy loooooooooooooooooooong.
The beer here is really really good - at least the equal of any craft beer place in the East Bay and way better than most. So far this place seems wildly underappreciated which is fine with me cuz I don't like crowds...but still I wish it success

Great space. Staff were very friendly and the beer is (of course) excellent. Can’t wait to come back.

Great atmosphere with a good selection of beers. Lots of open seating both outdoors and indoors. The drinks are priced reasonably but they are mostly IPAs and barrel-aged beers. Wonderful spot to hang out with a group or just wind down with a drink. Nice local spot that I will definitely have in my rotation moving forward!

Beer is great. Space is great with lots of parking. No food though so be aware! Just snacks.
