50 Best Beer Bars near Emeryville

“Trader Vic's is incredible. Excluding the historical significance to Tiki, the food is delightful, and the drinks even more so. The ribs are the best I've had (and I'm from Kansas City) and any drink with smoked pineapple is to die for, the Mai Tai is of course wonderful too. Staff was attentive and helpful, and portions were sizable for the price, and everything was delicious. Wonderful ambiance and selection of barware. Excited to be able to come again ❤“

“Incredible place with a HUGE tap list!“

“Every drink is handled with care.“

“I had the buffet and it was delicious! I came near the end of the buffet on a Sunday, but the food was still hot with many entree, appetizer, and dessert options. It also comes with naan which is a plus. My server was also nice and gave a run down of the buffet.“

“Truly unbelievable ambience, service, wine and food. A place I take friends in town, go for date nights, special occasions, weeknight relief, and everything in between. Something new to try by the glass every time (but I go straight for the bottles!! Some serious gems!)“

“Kiosk for ordering, so no human interaction. I can’t really compare what I ate with other Mexican restaurants because of dietary restrictions. We had tacos: hand made blue corn tortillas! Meat had a charred flavor and was of good consistency. Quesabirria eas nice the consume was on good too. Overall great experience.“

“Sante Adairius was such a perfect spot for our wedding welcome party. They have an awesome back room that was a great size for our guests and allowed us to have a private space without closing down the front bar to regular patrons. Ruben, the manager, was great to work with during the planning phase, even working with us to get a food truck into the back for our guests. The beer is great, and they have a good variety of other drinks (wines, mocktails, etc.). And the night of, the staff was fantastic. We’re so happy we found this spot for our party, and will definitely be going back for beers in the future.“

“Had afternoon tea here twice; the first time for 2 persons, the second time for 3. Tea selection and the atmosphere was outstanding, service was ok.
During my first visit, the food for 2 was nicely presented on a tiered platter, beautiful and appetizing.
However on my second visit, I was very disappointed with the food presentation; a 2-person tiered platter was used to hold food for a party of 3. As a result, the food was literally piled on to the platter on each tier. This must be a presentation mistake which compromised our dining experience. The visual appeal was lost and somehow the food did not taste as good as the first time…😟“

“Great burgers, delicious desserts, and awesome staff!“

“This place deserves a higher rating than is average. I've brought many people here recently and have had it 3x times in a row. I love the grilled fish and the seared ahi tuna for the win. I highly recommend this unassuming place for people in the area!“

“Such a friendly place for a drink- they offer non-beer alcohol (sangria!) and NA beverages so there's something for every adult.

Very dog friendly place that raises a lot of funds for local charity. One of the owners, Chris, is often around welcoming everyone and may give you free samples!

They have a small bar inside with a new reading nook, and upstairs has tables and high tops. Local clubs happen upstairs, like Magic the Gathering.

Nice outdoor picnic tables. No food though (just snacks), so check out Heschers for Detroit pizza or Original Pattern for Napolitan pizza.“

“Walking by, I always thought this place was abandoned. It’s not, it just opens 4-8. After 2 years I finally went to try their food. My burger was delicious. Service was good, family own/run. A good amount of customers for a Thursday evening. Will be back when Im craving bar-ey food.“

“This place has many things going for it.
1.Location its the full mission experience.
2.Originality: in a place where the burrito and dive bar reign supreme, this place provides bratwurst and many many craft beers. By the litre if necessary!
3. Service, friendly and helpful, they handle business and maintain a safe environment. Plenty of screens and table space.“

“Delicious pizza, friendly people! 🙂“

“Over in San Francisco from Perth Australia and popped in for a couple of beers, awesome spot and great beers, staff were super friendly and even grabbed some merch, get yourselves over and support these guys and have a cracking pint or four“

“We were hungry, it was Memorial Day, we just left Best buy, and we walking down the street, and we noticed this place and it had a big window whiich caught our eye and we looked in and decided to check it out. We had our furbabie with us and he was welcomed too. We ordered something to eat and a drink and water for our furbabie. They had all different games to choose from and a pool table. We ate, we drank, we played Bingo and won a few games, we received, free drink tickets to use that evening, and gifts we picked from. The people that worked there were polite and friendly and the customers were friendly too. There were other furbabies hanging out too. We enjoyed ourselves and we will be back to visit. They have a variety of entertainment for each day of the week.“

“This is the kind of place I want to see in any city I live in. Harmonic is hands-down one of the best locally owned microbreweries. The owners are long-time SF residents and amazing humans who truly care about their beer, customers, and community. The brews are delicious, creative, and always changing—there’s never a boring pour here. They have decent snacks and seem to regularly have unique food pop-ups. It’s an accessible place whether you’re out alone, or with friends and family. SUPPORT LOCAL BUSINESSES!“

“really like this place because it's family-friendly and has a variety of food. I like it because they have burritos. I highly recommend it.“

“One of the best fish & chips in the city. Their pub food is far superior to Pig & Whistle.

The owners here may not hail from mum England but they have the recipes down better than anyone. Chicken pot pie was good, not too greasy. The sticky toffee dessert is highly recommended. Good service.“

“Awesome and women-owned! Let's bask in the light of this great community of women in the Bay! Love this place!“

“Love this little spot. We were able to walk right in, but reservations are recommended. We did more tapas style with several items: 🦪 flight, crudo, smoked trout dip, chips, and homemade focaccia. Everything was fresh and full of flavor. Excellent service and good vibes. I would definitely go back and try more“

“A large selection of above average beers on tap and an upscale bar menu with kicked up favorites (K.orean F.ried C.hicken wings) and adventurous bites for foodies (octopus*). Overall the place is a bit pricey$$, but the beer slingers are attentive, knowledgeable and often willing to let you taste a beer. Thus avoiding buyer's remorse. And the food comes out hot and fast!“

“Great bar that has friendly patrons as well as lots of entertainment. You will often find love entertainment on the weekends, and always loads of pinball.

Bar has quite the selection of craft beers, and bar staff are knowledgeable to help find your perfect pint.“

“The delightfully friendly staff serve up truly delicious caffeinated concoctions...a wonderful way to start the day.“

“Such a terrific little bar! Top notch, small batch beers from talented local brewers. Something for everyone: IPAs, pales, pilsners, saisons, sours, and (often) my favorite Belgian beer styles. Casual, friendly vibe. A great place to go with friends, on date night, or solo (laptops fine). Can bring in food, games, or your dogs. Hoi Polloi is a real gem.“

“Love this place. Just a good vibe of a cafe. Chill music. Comfortable enough to work but not so comfortable that people sit park all day. Don't sleep on the Mitsugaru. It's like drinking the milk left over from a bowl of Cheerios. Common ih Korea, not so much in SF“

“good food and drinks! Laid back, fun , casual neighborhood bar, New England pub atmosphere,.“

“We come by almost every Friday and have lunch at Cato's. The staff is extremely friendly and the service is top notch! It's always rejuvenating to be at Cato's and start our weekend with good food, tasty beverages and a few good laughs with the welcoming folks that work and patronize the Ale House.“

“Came for brunch and was very pleased with the experience here! We got the steak & eggs and the classic brunch plate. Super convenient if you're in the Civic Center area. Ambience of the restaurant was lovely too. I'll definitely be back!“

“Amazing 🤩 Great service and tasty food“

“I have passed by this place on my way to Peets. (It's next to Peets). I ordered a kids cheeseburger and animal fries 🍟$22 . Not a bad price for 2 people to share. The kids burger was delicious I wish I would have gotten extra pickles for the AF. I'll be back.“

“Wonderful experience and everyone is friendly The music is great And drinks are amazing“

“Great beer selection, friendly staff and sunny warm patio to enjoy it all.“

“honestly such a nice spot. their ipa was super fresh and the guy at the bar actually knew what he was talking about when i asked about the hops. the patio out back was chill and not too crowded even on a Saturday. im already thinking about when i can go back.“

“My brother loves beer and we get together a couple times a month. We had not been there in years, and this is where I remember them having a great beer selection. They have really done a great job on the remodel and the music is at a level you can talk at! The food was good and the beer was great. I will be back!“

“Great Food😋 Sports bar atmosphere“

“My husband and I wanted to try Korean fried chicken. 🍗🐔 The place is very clean and The owner was helpful and kind. 😊👍 He helped us choose a few chicken flavors. 🌶🍯 Absolutely delicious 😋. 💯“

“It’s the best Restaurant in town came with Family and we had a great time! Food was great and drinks 🍹 we all loved the dessert as well! Just amazing service and food! My Favorite for sure! 2914 College Ave Berkeley Ca“

“Good selection of foods, drinks, and games. Good prices. Friendly service. They need better ventilation or air filters for the cooking smoke, not good for people to sit in that or the staff. Busy, not too many seats indoors, but there’s indoor and outdoor options. Lots of people playing games, fun spot.“

“great location downtown Oakland. price is good. Food is good.“

“The ramen tastes very good, the soup base is rich and the noodles taste great“

“fantastic drinks excellent atmosphere and realy cool people“

“Cool tour, and The Rake has an excellent selection of their customers’ beers on tap!“

“Nice meat quality in the burger and good cheese amount. I'd like a bigger bun though for the double. That 1/2 pound of meat and lot of cheese overwhelmed the bun. Super Duper has same issue for me on their dub so maybe just me. Also would like lettuce and tomatoes included rather than charge extra.“

“Decent beer and welcoming company.“

“This was by far the best meal I’ve had in a long time. Every dish was so inventive and delicious! The snap peas w/tofu dressing was light and crunchy. We had a bottle of delicious sparkling tea that tasted like sparkles. The fried rice had corn and cheese and Chinese sausage and WOW was it awesome. Truly every bite was amazing. It was my birthday dinner and they made it so special, brought out an extra dessert and gave truly fabulous service.

The decor feels like a set design, it’s curated but not pretentious. It wasn’t too loud, it was super clean and it’s on a beautiful, picturesque street in SF.

Couldn’t recommend more!!“

“great drinks and yummy popcorn. bartender was great!“
