Danville Brewing Co. / DBC

Beer is ok. Service is not great. The bartender yelled at us from behind the counter asking if we wanted another drink instead of walking over to us like a civilized person. Service is just lacking and really diminished anything decent about the food and beer.

I work nearby and had been wanting to stop by finally made it over and had a great time! Joshua was awesome super knowledgeable and had some spot-on recommendations. The food was amazing, and since it was a lovely day, we sat outside. The patio area felt semi-private with a roof and some screening, which made it even better.

Their beer selection was impressive we even grabbed a few to-go to enjoy at home. Definitely a 10/10 experience. Grab a loved one and check it out I’ll absolutely be recommending this place!

Extraordinarily mediocre. The beer quality is decent enough but the food and service are severely lacking.

We ordered two burgers. The burger cooked we requested medium was well done. It was sent back and return to us medium well. Close enough for us to lot send it back though both burgers were very underseasoned- something that would seem very clear if you order the ordinary cheeseburger (the specialty burgers have enough sauces and junk you may not even notice). Servers are nice but you’ll be waiting for awhile.

Three visits. Three very mediocre experiences.

Good draft beer. Great services!

We had the Reuben sandwich with Cajun fries and the Bacon jam burger. They were outstanding! Great lunch!

Diverse menu of items typically found at a brewpub, including the beer selection. Vibe is a little calmer and quieter at lunch than at dinner, which tends to be more crowded and noisier. Indoor and outside seating choices are available.

Wings are second to none!! We have had burgers, chicken sandwiches, salads and I can honestly say this place does not miss!!! Nice area not too crowded and also the outside is perfectly shaded!!

The servers and food are excellent. Best brewery in town.

Lunch post Mt. Diablo hike. Service was prompt, food and prices decent. We drank the DBC IPA and Espresso Martini. I was kind of thrown off when the server told me the current bar tender absolutely hated making espresso martinis. I tried to order a different drink but he then tried to reassure me it was cool? That aside the vibe was pretty chill.

I’ve been to DBC a couple of times and enjoyed it however today was a different experience. We went in as a party of 2 around 3pm and had a bespectacled, bald gentleman as our server. As soon as we sat down he asked if we were ready to order and when we weren’t, he waited 10 minutes to circle back. My partner was torn between two options and asked the server for recommendations between the Fish and Chips or the BBQ Salmon. The server replied “I mean, it’s two different animals so” which is kind of a crazy response to a guest that’s asking you for menu recommendations, never mind that cod and salmon are both fish. His comment was condescending and did not leave a good impression, in addition to him not checking in on us regularly or clearing empty glasses when needed. Service was very slow and impersonal given that the restaurant had maybe 6 tables with less than 4 guests each. After this experience from this server, we are discouraged to return as there are other local options with better service standards. The beer was good, food was average. Our seats allowed us to note that our Fish and Chips sat in the window for well over 5 minutes, was greasy, and overall unimpressive. The BBQ salmon resembled something closer to microwaveable TV dinners with the consistency of the mashed potatoes being sticky and under seasoned. The salmon itself was very tasty and cooked to the requested temperature. We hope that future guests have a better experience than we did.

Normally I love this spot. Walking in at 8:25 and being told it’s last call and I gotta hurry is crazy work though. Especially when there were lots of other people there

Lovely place, great service and food. It's always a good outing to come here.

Sat at the bar yesterday and had a great lunch experience. A great tap list with their own beers plus a nice guest tap list. A very robust menu and a great selection of salads. The person next to me order the hamburger and I must say it looked delicious!!! I had the Caesar and loved the crispy brussels sprouts in it. I also thought it was a reasonable price point for lunch..... CHEERS!!!!

Food: 5

Service: 5

Liked their foods and vibe

Not the best burgers. Overcooked and dry.
