“Such a cool spot! The dude bartender with long hair was super friendly and poured a delicious helles lager and i got a pretzel dog, which was a beautiful pairing. A guitarist was doing some slide guitar.
The light lager is what brought me here in the first place. The spot was nice and packed. Def coming back!“
“Such a rad spot, fun vibe, engaging staff, and an insane variety of yummy beer. Definitely a must.“
“A pretty great brewery all around from the atmosphere to the beer.
They have a huge section of beer including a bunch of non alcoholic options which is great for so many people. I ended up getting the double hazy and it was a solid one: Fruity, juicy and a little funky which I like.
There is plenty of seating but it fills up fast with how popular it is. Some of the spots are even couches but most are wood tables that extends to their outdoor area as well. There is a bunch of games from shuffleboard to pinball. The outdoor area isn't very big but has food trucks usually which is always a bonus.
Parking can usually be found at the top of the hill where we saw tones of open spots. As far as San fransisco goes that's a rarely. Just make sure you are ready for a workout up you take that way though.
Overall a great spot to hang out and get a beer“
“Just stopped in here while waiting for a pizza next door and really liked the beers on tap and the staff. Nice to go to bar where the bar staff are super friendly and talkative. Not sure how long this brewery has been around, but hope it does really well.“
“Grabbed a beer a few weeks ago as we waited out the rain and waited for dinner. So glad I stopped by! It was a solid location, nice TVs to watch any games, and free WiFi!
I would definitely come back if I'm in the area.“

“They have good beer and a good atmosphere.“
“We stopped in for a beer on our honeymoon and loved the upstairs area to play some fun games and sand shuffle board! The beers were delicious and they had great service. It was a warm day and the airflow wasn’t great upstairs or down so that’s the only negative but we’ll definitely be back for more beers!“
“Neat indoor beer hall, great barman and loads of fresh beer (as you might expect) Cheers all!“
“Cozy and inviting, with a warm vibe that feels like your favorite neighborhood hangout.
The Beer: Absolutely stellar! Their Saison Bernice is a knockout - complex, refreshing, and totally unique.
Pros:
✓ Incredible craft beer selection
✓ Knowledgeable bartenders
✓ Weekday food menu

“Chill Friday with great staff and patrons. I love a Pilsner on a warmer day and they had five on tap!! I was hella excited because it’s rare for a brewery to have so many pilsners on tap. Really great options all around. Dana was very warm and welcoming.“
“Great prices! Love this place fabulous memories 💕“
“Tucked away a bit off the beaten path in Southwest Berkeley, Cellarmaker is one of the gems of Bay Area brewing. IPAs are a specialty here and they are all interesting and consistently delicious, no matter what is on tap. Other great options include the Coffee & Cigarettes porter, plus really interesting barrel aged and sour beers from the Rare Barrel.
Pizza and other bar snacks/appetizers are very tasty, and the space is very chill and laid back, with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating.
The only negative I can think of is that they aren’t open 7 days a week!“
“Update (2024):
Still a great selection of beers and very relaxing atmosphere on a Tuesday evening. They've got some very interesting beers on rotation right now. Would definitely recommend trying out the peanut butter and jelly beer!
2019: Great selection of unique beers, very friendly staff, great place to hang out at after work“

“First time, had the umaminous pizza and the tira'miso'.
I love how unique the dough was! It was so fluffy and light which felt well balanced with the toppings. I loved all the textures involved, the crunchy cheesy crust was a nice touch. You get the signature brownie edges but it's with cheese. Total winner. Ill come back for more and try their flatter pizzas to see if my rating changes.
Tira'miso' was a great spin off a tiramisu. It could use more coffee or something to make the cake more moist. Otherwise, the flavors were yummy. I like the salty sweet sauce.
Good stuff!“
“I love this place and their beer! I first had one at Alvarado Street Brew in Monterey, CA. They’ve got great sours and fruit forward IPAs for me and beer that tastes like beer for my BF. I wish they had more seating but that’s not a reason to rate below 5 starts. Maybe they will open a bigger location in Alameda or Oakland ?? DOG FRIENDLY“
“wide open atmosphere, excellent food and great service. Found the beer to be of high quality. Build a flight and you will love it!“
“Great beer, food and service“
“Hands down the best spot to have a beer and talk with friends, neighbors, or strangers. It's not a large space, but always manages to have enough room to be more than comfortable. The ambiance is warm and inviting with a clean, minimalist look. The beer is stellar, and they always keep variety on tap. Hoi has become an anchor for the neighborhood.“
“In town for work and was looking for some good beer. What a great find on a day with gorgeous weather! On the roof at Salesforce park, was able to enjoy a flight (5 options) and personal pizza (delicious!) for $45, a steal in San Fran. No heaters so can only be enjoyed in good weather but highly recommend.“
“I kept wondering if Mrs Craig Vanessa was really an expert trader like they say, that she is not a scammer like the others, then I contacted her and I was shocked and amazed that with just $1,500 I invested, Mrs. Craig Vanessa helped me managed my account and after 7 Days of trading, I made my first withdrawal of $16,700. I'm here to testify the good work of her after she made a good profit for me in my investment. She's reachable via WhatsApp with the number on her Facebook: Mrs Craig Vanessa“
“Faction Brewing is a wonderful, local brewery! On a perfect day, enjoy a beer or cider on their patio overlooking the San Francisco Bay and city skyline. Catch it on a gloomier day and you can still enjoy a crafted beverage in their large indoor spaces. We host our annual donation drive here in the spring and the staff is always so fantastic. Highly recommend Faction Brewing!“
“The beers across the board here are top notch and the service one ups that! Patrick is awesome! He provided great service and had the perfect amount of sociability. I can't recommend this place enough! One of the brewers in the back even came out and told me a new beer that they were working on and I can't wait to come back and try it!“
“Nice place with terrific beers (IPAs, Pilsners, Pale Ales, Porters, Stouts, Sours, ...), wine, cider, and food.
Enjoyed the Guava Happens (Fruited Sour), Coffee & Cigarettes (Smoked Coffee Porter), Pepperoni Pizza, and Elote Pizza.
Left a back seat down so it was clear there was nothing of value in the car/trunk.“
“First visit there and it's a really nice and chill spot, dogs and kids are welcome. It's down the street from the U.S.S. Hornet. I had the watermelon cider, which was very tasty and smooth. Also had some hot wings from a food truck outside which were excellent 👌“
“Great beer selection; try the Structure“
“Geeks Who Drink trivia night every Tuesday is awesome!“
“Love this brewery for their amazing beer. So stoked when they opened this location last year. The pretzels, mustard, brats, pierogies and potato salad are fantastic. Great wines too. Can't go wrong here. Indoor and outdoor seating. Heaters on patio and great decor.“
“Great beer and wonderful staff. One of the best games to play is when you're in the bathroom and there happens to be someone in the stall keeping really quiet until you leave. When you've done you're thing and you're on your way out pretend to leave. Open the door and close it again. That person in the stall will think you've left and they'll let it rip. Most people will have been holding it back, probably gripping the sides of the toilet, waiting for you to leave and when its released it'll make a hell of a noise. You can then laugh all the way back to your beer knowing that you caught them at their most vulnerable. Sometimes I just make the fart noise and then leave. It's up to you how you play it.“
“The best beer ever and the best staff ever and super cute and I just love this place so much and everyone should go here right now.“
“I had the Polish. I had the Vienna Beef. I had the Italian Beef. They dipped it for me. I had two beers. There's a certain grit that gets baked into the street food in Chicago that they don't have in this part of Oakland, but for the Bay Area this is about as authentic as it is going to get. Fantastic!“
“🧡🧡🧡 Recommend for everyone .“

“We went to two locations this weekend visiting from Portland & both were great! I have to rave about the service at the Barrel Room! On our way to the airport we made one last pit stop & the bartenders were AWESOME. Beer was fresh & delish. Building is dope. Lotsa kids really isn’t our thing but it’s so spacious you have plenty of room to vibe. Accidentally knocked my beer off the table & was rewarded for my bad behavior with a fresh brew on the house because accidents happen! So good. ? Will be back.“
“I feel pretty confident in saying that this is one of the best breweries I've ever visited. Every beer I tried was great and the food exceeded my expectations. I wish I had caught their names but the staff Saturday was excellent and parking was open and easy. Wish I lived closer but I'll certainly try to return anytime I'm back in the bay area.
If anyone at the brewery is reading this you should offer merch at the brewery!“

“Great beer with an amazing turnaround (when you need it). They were slammed and we got beers/dinner and out in just over 30 min. Can’t wait until I can relax there!“
“Great beer selection, friendly staff and sunny warm patio to enjoy it all.“
“I thought it was great. Fantastic outdoor beer garden area, spacious open inside space as well. Plenty of beer options to suit any tastes. I tried several but settled on a Willy Wonka Sour, and a Margarita Lager. Both were quite good. Would definitely go back, and probably try some food next time.“
“Went there for the sake tasting. I can’t believe it’s only $20 for 5 different sakes. There are optional ones you can add, I would avoid them if it’s your first time. You’ll get the full range and next time you can spend extra on the stuff you like rather than experimenting on some of the higher end ones.
The staff is extremely friendly, I am not super fan of sweet fruity sake, and they offer to change it for something else they recommended.
Overall, pretty great experience.“

“First brewery of the day and what an excellent neighborhood brew pub sitting on the corner of Bryant St and Cesar Chavez St. A lot to choose from so we went high ABV with the Hazed & Confused Double Hazy IPA at 9%. We both enjoyed it.“
“Delicious! Highly recommend pickle pickle mayo dog“

“Decent beer and welcoming company.“
“So I had my first taste at two pitchers brewing company on my way home from my bachelor party. I sat at a long table with my four brothers and my father, and we ordered six blood orange radlers not truly knowing what that was. It immediately became one of our favorites. And a tradition of mine. Every year for my anniversary, I make sure I have two six packs of blood orange radlers with me on my anniversary. My wife and I both very much so enjoy them and I very much so enjoy reminiscing of that lunch with my brothers and my father. So thank you for making such an amazing drink. And cheers to many more years of tradition.“
