Dust Bowl Brewing Co. Livermore Taproom

Great vibes, great beers, solid food. We ate out on the patio and enjoyed the wide selection of local brews. The IPA I chose had delicious hints of pineapple. Food was prepared in a food truck parked on the property. The brisket burger and flatbread pizzas were solid though a bit overpriced.

Service was a bit mixed. Two of our servers weren't very friendly or helpful. Hence the 4 stars rather than 5.

Good place for beer, camp fire experience and food

We were there for a private party and the food and service were exceptional. The only negative was that they didn't offer a corkage fee.

This place is good to hangout with friends and family . You order from a food truck outside and have the choice to sit inside or outside near the many fireplaces provided.

Great beer and excellent service. The layout of this location is great. It has your classic bar with a huge tap list. It’s got wonderful outdoor seating ,food, and some comfy spots inside to sit with a group of friends.

I was really disappointed with my recent experience here. I purchased 2 canned beers from the taproom and was never told it was for off-site consumption only. I opened it and sat down, only to have a staff member take it and throw it away without any explanation beforehand. I was then told I had to buy a draft beer instead — essentially paying twice for the drink.

If there are rules about not drinking cans on-site, that should be clearly communicated at the time of purchase or posted visibly. I would’ve appreciated a heads-up or at least a respectful explanation, not just having my drink taken and discarded.

I hope management improves how they handle situations like this, because customers deserve clear communication — and respect for what they’ve paid for.

Came in and sat at the bar for 15min and never got so much as a hello from the bartender. I looked his direction the whole time and nothing.

It would be understandable if it were busy but there were more people behind the bar than at the bar. Not sure what we did to piss the staff off walking in and sitting down but they were ice cold.

A great place to hang out and relax with friends or family on a warm sunny day. They offer different variety of beer and delicious finger bite foods. We ordered the double cheeseburger with fries, the coconut shrimp, the flatbread cheese pizza and they were delicious. Outside is a small playground and a cornhole board game for young and adults to play. We would definitely come back to this place.

What a nice finding!! After shopping across the street, I found this nice brewery and enjoyed some good beers.
Place is friendly, cozy, and great to relax.
I’ve tried their West Coast IPA which was perfect. Than the Dust IPA that was ok.
Food truck next to it makes good burguers

Small but perfect spot to relax and unwind. They have corn hole, and a big fire pit that sits 8. Dogs are welcomed. Atmosphere was perfect and well maintained. You order from the truck then they give you a buzzard let you know food is ready to pick up. They come around and take your orders for drinks. I love coming to places like this. My family and I will definitely return if we're in the area.

Great service, phenomenal beer. I drive from Tracy to fill my growlers and it's definitely worth the drive. Don't bother with the food though. The food truck that serves the brewery sells BBQ but it's not very good. I gave it a few chances but was disappointed each time.

3.5, rounded to 4 star. The last food truck setup was much better. This is not a review on the food, just the beer and the food ordering process. Before you could order food via an app and it delivered to your table / seat. Now we have to shuffle back and forth for ordering and pickup. Beer and staff are all positives however.

Great selection and staff.

Enjoyed the vibe and the beer. The Taco truck line was a favorite of the group. Food is hit or miss though ( thus the 4stars) Korean chicken was slimy and too sweet, the poke nachos..nope. the brisket burger and garlic fries were the winners

A nice place to hang out. Good beer selection and food menu.
Outside beer garden is very nice.
