Beer selection was okay. I didn't particularly like the two states I had, but my husband liked his pilsner. It was pretty easy to operate the taps once a young girl showed me how to do it.

It's a bit odd and has a premise that feels like it's designed to take your money.
On arrival they take a nominal card payment in return for a tab card, which is used to buy drinks (up to a limit). Great to allow you to try different beers but you do get charged for tasters and it isn't cheap. Was certainly a surprisingly high bill when I went to close the tab.
Food was also pretty average to be honest.
Not a bad place but overpriced certainly.
Wheelchair accessibility: There were wheelchair users in the venue.

Great burgers but soft soggy grease soaked fries... even after asking for new fries. The replacements were hardly any better.

Servers were completely focused on each other instead of customers and the place was almost empty. Nobody could explain the card that it's supposed to provide the link to service except that nobody ever asked for it during the entire process and as I'm assuming it was a way to pre-authorize customers. Not exactly what I call warm and friendly customer environment. If I did not specifically try to engage a server I was completely ignored while they talked to each other about life. Sommelier specialized on restaurant openings for 20 years so this is not a random tit tat. You need to get your staff back on point.

I'm a frequent customer who's there most Thursdays for their trivia nights. This evening, their pour-your-own-beer machine gave me a lot of foam and I immediately told one of the waiters because they charge for the foam. They said the cashier would take care of it when I checked out. Then when I checked out, the cahier ignored me and overcharged me about $15. That's upsetting and such a ripoff.

Had a great time with my family, kid friendly, a great selection of “pour yourself beers”, very good food, and extravagant excellent staff! Must visit if you’re around in Livermore.

Great food and extensive beer selection plus nice craft cocktail list. What more could you ask for? The table setup is a bit odd. Not a place for a couple IMO, but for a casual get together, great!

This place rips you off, they have this self serve beer gimmick, where some machine charges you per ounce for your own pour, but it works by timing how long you pour for. The first “3 ounces” of every pour you get is all foam. They ran out of Ace Cider, and I just got all foam instead of actual cider, but I still got charged for 10 ounces some how? The whole thing is really sketchy.
Chicken sandwich was pretty good though, but the fries came out cold.
