Fieldwork Brewing Company - Berkeley

Was here a week ago and got some of the worst service I've had. Staff forgot part of our order. No big deal, it happens but not great. I checked with the kitchen and got a lot of attitude that they were busy and it was coming (they did not actually check). After 45 minutes of waiting with my kids I just asked for a refund. Lady behind the counter did not seem to have a way to provide one. It took about 5-10 mins but finally she said it went through. Not on my card. Pls make it easier on people. Thank you.

Off to an interesting start!

Great beer and good appetizers!

Love the beer, been coming for a long time but this place is ruined by the fact that u let kids in. I've seen 2 full tables with people having kids bday parties. Y'all need to do better with that. I know a couple who crashed thier car with their kids in it, not to long ago after coming from this location. I think all breweries need to make it 21 and up cuz kids at a brewery is the worst especially for parents in the bay area

X'lent brews and pizza!

Good beer, food takes a long time on a slow night. Budget at least 45 minutes for them to bring it to your table if you get food.

Not a one off event either

Great spot after exhausting shopping at the Northface outlet! The beer was refreshing, pizza was delicious and the service friendly and helpful. Highly recommend.

We come here all the time. Super family friendly environment, great outdoor seating. The beers are great and the food is decent.

However, as other reviews have noted, the one female staff member should consider a job outside of service because she really detracts from the vibe and everyone else is awesome.

I’ve been coming here for years and tonight I ordered one glass of wine using the barcode on the table, which the bartender then closed out without asking me and added their own gratuity of 20%. I usually tip 20% as a habit, but this is totally inappropriate for a bartender to close out your tab and add their own tip to the bill without your consent while you are still sitting in the bar!

Great Belgians. Weird vibes.

I'm used to the typical Berkeley lackluster retail service and prefer it to the 'chipper salesperson'. But this felt more downtrodden, was kind of a bummer.

Thank you Bacchus or whoever the god of great beer is. It might be fieldwork. I used to drink it at beer revolution in Oakland when their amazing story was unfolding, then the beer industry took me to Seattle where I FINALLY got my hands on a hazy from them at chucks hop shop. After all these years, since they were just a fledgling company, having Russian river dreams and lagunitas nightmares, there is not a better friend for you on a sunny spring day at a picnic table.

Alex and folks, thank you; If you ever want some peninsula rye or to open up all the way up in the emerald yonder, let me know. Love ya!

Hometown heros, top 3 breweries in the bay and I'm highly biased due to all the great memories and good times.

Deteriorating service throughout the years. Been here many times and the bartenders just keep getting ruder with each visit. They start huffing and puffing, make smart ass remarks when you ask to taste something new as if we’re not already there buy something. Last remark I got when asking to taste one beer was “Well it comes in a can, so no”. 😳 As if I’m supposed to know that and all other detailed info about all their brews?!?! I mean isn’t that his job to tell me in a friendly manner and sell me beers I can taste? Feels like overall unfriendly, impatient, rude service. I completely understand they get busy, but there’re in the service industry, there is no reason to snap at paying customers, unless they want NO CUSTOMERS. Not returning.

Always my favorite place for a beer. They have great pizza, Detroit style personal pizzas

But the beer is the stuff they sing songs about

Beers were okay, but I liked the pizza and shishito peppers more. Very casual with indoor and outdoor dining/drinking. There are heat lamps to keep you warm. Self service water, napkins, utensils, and togo boxes. You order inside or via QR codes on the table.
