“Original Pattern Brewing Company serves up some of the finest craft beer I've ever had. I first tried their IPAs at Paulista's Brazilian taproom(highly recommend), where they have a rotating selection on draft that can compete with brews from anywhere. The tropical, citrusy hop flavors of their West Coast-style IPAs are perfectly balanced and go down smooth. Beyond the beer, they have a pizza pop-up out front that's worth checking out. With quality brews and good food, Original Pattern is a can't-miss stop for any craft beer lover. I highly recommend checking them out - you won't be disappointed!“
“Great place to hang out, have snacks or a meal. Recommend bringing a beer geek with you to sift through the multitude of beery offerings. They have an impressive selection of "old school" beers in bottles: barleywine (above average), imperial stout (multiple varieties), and Belgian dubbel (also above average).Not much for the kids to drink, though my 11 and 14 each found something decent.The Caesar salad is the best I've ever had, the pizza is decent, and the service is good.Demerits for the bench seating with no backs for the Over 40 crowd, the minimal kid drink selection, and it can be difficult to find parking nearby on the weekends.“
“My favorite brewery in Oakland and it’s not even close. Large and diverse selection of beers such as IPA’s, malty ( schwarzbier, dopplebock, brown ale, etc), and light beers. the inside can be kind of tight but they have plenty of outdoor seating and the upstairs which has more seating and an entertainment area for kids. The customer service and the owners are always good people and there is food trucks always outside when I’m there which are quality as well.The only thing I can recommend is to watch your cars in the area. It’s still Oakland but I have yet to see a break in of my car or others but I would take valuables out. Other then that come visit this brewery, enjoy the amazing beers and good people.“
“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.“
“The atmosphere at 2 Pitchers is always great, there are plenty of seating options. 2 Pitchers specializes in brewing RADLERS which are like fruitier beers that are lighter on the ABV than other popular craft beers. They have a good selection of their own brewed beers ($6 per pint) and then they also have a great variety of local beers from other craft brewers in the area which go for $8-10 per pint. They also have some wines but no liquor license. You can get a burger or fries from Lovely's (which always has a line!) and eat it here. There are indoor and outdoor seating options, and it is very dog and kid friendly.“
“The Circe is one of the best pizzas I've had anywhere in the world.The only complaint I have about Jupiter is that it can get rather crowded sometimes and I prefer less noisy locations, but it's worth it for the quality of the food here.“
“Cute brewery we tried out for my husband's birthday. Came on a Saturday evening, and wasn't busy at all, plenty of seats. Not a huge parking lot, but there's parking on the street. Very close to Todos Santos park. Cool place with 2 floors, board games to play. Beers were good, but I'm not usually a beer drinker! Hubby and friends liked it. No food served here. But they have food trucks everyday and they bring the food inside for you, which was nice. Indoor and outdoor seating. It was a cool place, I'm sure we'll be back!“
“I’ve been waiting for a high quality, good tasting, family friendly brewery to arrive in the deep east bay ( Martinez, concord, Walnut Creek, Pittsburgh, Dublin etc) to drink at after our family outings in the area and it finally arrived. All the other ones were just not good beer or service.From my understanding this brewery is originally from Tracy and opened this as a second location and all I have to say is thank the hop gods it’s here. Large menu featuring all sorts of beers from IPA more malt flavored, and even traditional German,English, and Scottish.The inside is nice and the local area is very classy and safe. The inside can be a tight squeeze for families and kids but we always see other families there for my kids to play with as well as having a park/ fountain connected right next door and a little outdoor seating area.If you want food there is lots of options nearby that they will allow you to bring in or order on the app but they don’t serve it themselves.The staff is always friendly and has great customer service. This has quickly turned into one of my favorite breweries in such a short time. Highly recommend!“
“We enjoy coming here for Cali Craft’s open space. They have a big selection of beers and non alcoholic beverages. From time to time, they will have food options by partnering food trucks. I would definitely recommend coming here if you enjoy beers but also it is an easy place to hang. Breweries are pretty great for young families.“
“It's a nice quiet place to sit outside at lunchtime. There are many places nearby to get lunch to go. You can get a beer at Mike Hess and sit outside to eat with a choice of sun or shade. Parking can sometimes be a bit dicey during lunch hours.“
“I love this Laurel location of GTB. They have sunny, outdoor patio seating and a fantastic food selection (with a full kitchen) as well as countless beers on tap to be enjoyed.Street parking is the name of the game here, so easy to find as there are tons of shops and stores in this area. Upon walking in, I could see lots of picnic tables in shaded outdoor seating on synthetic turf. There's also lawn chairs if you're into lounging, and more seating in the back as you walk in. They're dog and kid-friendly, have strong wifi, and have fantastic mid-sized crisp and fluffy fries. GET THEM. Serve-yourself condiments and utensils. You order everything at the taptender/cashier, and a fantastic food runner delivers the food to your table. Staff are all wonderful and kind, also love the open kitchen concept.I loved that there were so many sours on tap, and was very happy to go with Glitter box which was so delicious, not tart/puckery, and with a hint of funk "like a saison" my taptender so brilliantly stated. My friend enjoyed the lager, and we happily chipped away at the huge bowl of fries. Beer lovers will enjoy this space, so great for lounging in the sun and enjoying a gorg day off.“
“Came to Temescal and met up with a couple of folks on my work project. We ordered some drinks and a platter of snacks. I loved the conserva and the vermouth spritz was fantastic! Would totally come here again if I'm in the neighborhood.“
“Love the vibes here. You can order via QR code or with the server. My friends and I enjoyed some food and drinks in their courtyard- the trees and lighting create a lovely atmosphere. I’ve been here many times and always recommend it to folks who are visiting from out of town.“
“Highly recommend their brie and hot honey pizza! It also comes with Asian pears and pistachio. The crust was simply amazing.. why can't all crusts be like this?! My partner doesn't like crusts at all, but she wouldn't stop complimenting it.Also ordered their coffee & cigarettes, which is a smoked coffee porter. Recognized St. Frank since we had it back in SF.“
“We’ve been in multiple times, enough to almost be “regulars”. Every experience has been better than the last. The food is amazing. Michael really kills it with all of his regular menu items and totally knocks it out of the park with his specials! Oh, and the beer…??!! Delicious. We love that we can always take a few of our favorites home with us to enjoy between visits. Super friendly staff, we love Sophia and Chris and look forward to getting to know all the new folks too. Highly recommend. Easy parking. Super safe area.“
“Their Blood Orange IPA is magnificent! I was in the Bay Area for the New Year so I had to visit their brewery. Huge brewery inside & outside with outdoor patio, great for big gatherings.They have appetizers and sandwiches but their main is obviously their craft beers. They have variety of beers so if its your first time, start with flights and see what you like. They also have Happy Hours on the weekdays. Their August Beer Festival is one of a kind.4.6/5 ⭐️“
“We reserved 3 tables on the patio at Temescal Brewing for a baby shower get-together. It was great! Sam and the team were so helpful throughout the day and leading up to the process via email. We were able to bring our own food, and give out wristbands to have guests put drinks on our tab. Would definitely come back here with a group!“
“A nice quiet spot for enjoying a pint of delicious local beer. The brewery is also doing their part for the environment by using bioenergy to fuel their brewing operation. Bummer that the state of affairs in Oakland is forcing them to close and unfortunately that also meant no food options other than chips. The bartender was super friendly and explained the local art that was on display to us. I appreciated them brewing the variety of Town Beers that would benefit local charities. I hope they are able to find a good home for their barn cats. I'm looking forward to trying the 4-packs I took home!“
“My mother found this place and told me it's the best Smashburger she's ever had. It didn't take me much time to see if she was right and I'll say this is the best Smashburger I've ever had.Parking: Not much parking, but worth it to park and walk over.“
“Be sure to check out this Filipino-owned Brewery the next time you're in Alameda! They brew all of their beers in house and the varieties range from Light to Dark to even Fruity. I loooved their Calamansi Pilsner and ended up taking some cans home. If you're unsure what to get or want to do a sample of beers, try out one of their Flights or build your own!* Alameda Genuine Draft* Tell Me When to Mango* Sarap! Pilsner w/ Calamansi* Mutiny on the Bay* Ube Area* Sea Haggis* Sop 'N' GoIf you have a dog, bring them along because this place is dog friendly, even indoors!This place makes a great hang out spot and you can even grab food from the neighboring restaurants to eat with your beers or take your beers over to the restaurants. It's nice seeing a community of businesses supporting one another.“
“This place is nice and clean and has outside seating in front and on the side which is where I sat ( has gnats in the plants that bothers your food). My waiter, Josh, I think is his name from which I overheard his associates who were sitting behind me called him, he may have told me and I didn't hear him, was very pleasant! Now for the food, I ordered the BBQ salmon which I found out that I do not like BBQ sauce on my salmon. I thought it would be just grilled, my fault, I should have asked. As for the garlic mashed potatoes, they were too thin for my liking and I wasn't impressed with the taste. As for the chicken wings, they weren't seasoned enough for my liking, but the sauces helped me push it through. Now for the grilled brussel sprouts, I loved them! Even though this wasn't my favorite I'm still eager to try their other dishes, oh, the Blonde beer I had was great!“
“Excellent spot before an A's game. We've often come here for food and drinks, and it's a short Uber ride to the stadium. Ordering food and drinks can be done from your phone, and service is really prompt. Lots of space, both indoor and outdoor. Drake's beer speaks for itself - if you haven't tried Hopocalypse it's a tasty hazy DIPA staple, give it a shot. Like many breweries, they've embraced the Hazy craze, but not just for the sake of sales, their hazies are excellent. They've added Juicy Hoot and Hazing Saddles and I enjoyed both. If you're not a Hazy person, there are plenty of choices - pils, hefe, stout, lagers, sours - pick your poison. The tater tots are a good compliment to the beer selection.When the A's pack up for Vegas, I'll surely find another excuse to head up for some good beer and food.“
“Among my favorites. Self-proclaimed oldest brewpub in America, although that status from 1986 may not be true. Good food, nice beer selection in an old place dripping with boho charm. Alas, their sandwich menu selection no longer includes a stellar muffaletta.“
“Went here on a Sunday. I loved how we were seated right away. It was a cold afternoon and they had a large fire place as well as heaters. The food arrived extremely fast. We tried the Brussels sprouts, German pancakes, and chicken tenders. The Brussels sprouts were delicious, the German pancakes were ok, they needed salt. My boyfriend loved the chicken tenders. The beer was also great. We both had flights, I noticed a man was setting up his music to perform a live show. Will definitely come back here.“
