“I almost don't want to share my favorite spot. This is a fun neighborhood bar owned by a brewer and self proclaimed "Beer Nerd" who's real name is Matt.There are 24 taps of rotating beers ranging from sours, lagers, West Coast IPAs, hazy IPAs, porters, and stouts all kept at about 34 degrees. Don't rely on Untapped for the beer list as it is not updated as quickly as they run through kegs of beer. You will not find Bud, Coors, or Modello. You will find great craft beers like Pliney the Elder or an Eclipse Stout on tap, or in the case. When a keg is emptied, you will get a different beer of similar style on that tap. There is an in house kitchen that serves some great bar selections. My faves are the deviled eggs, pita points, a charcuterie board, or the panini sandwiches. Always delicious food. They will sometimes have a food truck parked out front or a pop-up food vendor in the patio. Outside is a canvas covered area with picnic tables, and some high top tables with bar chairs. Reminds me of a Biergarten. It is not considerd rude to ask to share a table with other people. They have trivia on Monday nights and between rounds the bar service area will get busy as players come in for refills. There are also board games available to play. Patio has both infared and portable gas heaters.4 TVs are inside and 1 additional one facing outside. On big sports events another portable large screen comes outside. Local games or big events get audio, otherwise there is background music playing over the house speaker system.Parking is easy. There is a big free lot acros the street to the west and another 2 story structure on the north side of the venue.Enjoy my friends...“
“Cider Junction is a great spot to have a chill outing and try some cider while snacking on some delicious food! Their tap list does tend to change but there always seem to be lots of good options on there for each rotation! Our favorite this time around was the hemly pink lady - off-dry apple cider with pink lady, braeburn, and granny smith... it's like super apple!! We supplemented our flights with their loaded baked tator tots and their pretzel with beer cheese (always get the beer cheese over the mustard!!!!) We always love getting their pretzels - there's just something about cider and pretzels that make them pair together so well. Overall, it's a pretty chill and affordable spot to hang out! You can definitely get full off their food (and drinks of course) but I wouldn't go here for a meal specifically.“
“Convenient spot & a fantastic selection of beers. Plus... They always have a good stout on tap, year-round, which for some reason is hard to find in the south bay area.We stopped going to Loma & Happas because stouts are unpredictable and/or non-existent except for a couple winter months.“
“It's your basic, overpriced bar. If you were coming in expecting anything else, you're a fool. The staff is 5*. The drinks are expensive, but i enjoy the atmosphere. If i wanted a cheap drink, i would stay home and drink right out the “
“Really love this place. The bartenders are always friendly, the beer selection is great, friendly dogs are welcome, and its an overall great hangout.I understand that some reviewers are confused as to why their under 21 year old children are not allowed inside. This is because Out of the Barrel is, shockingly, a bar.“
