Nasty greasy food. Constantly getting up to get water, just to find empty water jar and having to wait for servers to fill it up, so I could get my water (several times). I ordered the Carne Asada, all I got was little pieces of burnt meat slapped all over my nasty grease fries. Expensive, little service, expecting us to do everything. Californians, you have got to demand better services, you deserve better. They are sticking it to us. First and last time going there, that's for sure.

An excellent choice for a fine evening out in the Livermore Downtown area. With so many restaurants nearby, this one stands out as a must-try. The only thing I walked away with was a wish that my fries had been less soggy and oily. Everything else was fantastic!

The Mushroom bacon burger was great and you pour your own beers! Pay by the once. Cool experience.

Best burger in the 925.Bartender Gabriel deserves a knighthood, for he is on a Quest of Berveragerial Awesomeness, and every cocktail he crafts is the Holy Grail of Delicious.Kid-friendliness: Family Friendly AF.

Had fun sitting at the bar. Great service and drinks were great. Slightly noisy the night we were there,but that was because the Warriors were playing.

It's a self-service beer spot. Their selections range from ciders to stouts with pilsner and ipa in between. There is a small bar area where they serve mixed drinks. I've only had the sliders but they were really good. There is plenty of seating indoors and out. The staff is friendly as well. Oh and like six or so tvs with sports!

The food is really good here and there are a lot of good beers on tap, it's one of my favorite places to eat in Livermore. The staff is very friendly and it's a nice place to sit and hang out. It does get a bit crowded during dinner time but it's still a nice place to

Amazing place. I love how you fill up your own beers and they charge by the ounces! Me and my friend caught up here for an hour and it flew by. I think our server's name was Connor and he was a super chill dude also. He made a lot of great recommendations on food and drinks but ultimately I felt like the pretzel would suffice and boy was I right! The cheese was fantastic and the texture and taste of the pretzel was prime bar food. Great night with great drinks. Connor was funny too and we joked about how Tom Brady is one of the most overrated QBs ever. It was nice for someone else to agree with me for once. Anyways, this place was great! TVs inside to watch sport games too and plenty of room!

What a fantastic place! Great selection of beers and ciders, with a few wines as well. The hops burger was phenomenal, although the fried mac & cheese could have a little more flavor. Regardless, I'd love to eat here again one day.

My coworkers and I enjoyed our dinner last week. We all got something a little different: burgers, mixed drinks, while I got the carne asada tots. The happy hour portion was a perfect light dinner for me. Prices were also very fair, especially for my coworkers burger plate. Everyone stated that their food was delicious. Employees were very helpful as well. I appreciated how the restaurant was not too loud so we could still have conversation as well. We will definitely be returning soon.

The food here is actually really good! Which is why I think it deserves a solid 5. I walked in on a Thursday and it seems like they had a trivia night going on, seemed fun! I came in for a drink and quick bite to eat. I had a "such a Gemini" cocktail to match my actual zodiac, lol. The giant pretzel is a must! A few things to keep in mind...When you walk in they will ask for your ID and a card to put on file. They will then hand you a white card that you scan against the different taps for beer or wine. It's pretty much self serve unless you go to the bar for a cocktail. At the end of your visit they will charge your card accordingly to what you grabbed off the tap or ordered.
