I usually don’t like Belgian style beer that’s not ACTUALLY Belgian but this stuff is awesome. Great selection and patio too

Fantastic beer and great ambience! I can't recommend this spot enough!

I haven't been here for many years. It's always been a Belgian beer bar. I'm not sure when Sante Adairius took it over but they've pretty much kept it the same as it was, in a good way. As I tend to drink IPA's, I was happy that they also had some on the menu. I tried the Left and Leaning, a non hazy that I really enjoyed. My friend had a very properly poured St. Bernardus (see photo). The service was great. Also on hand is a lovely, friendly Irish Setter. It was very fun when he visited our table. There's a nice $5 parking lot next door with an attendant. This alone would bring me back :)

Great beer with friendly staff and a small but delicious food menu. Between the house spiced nut mix, house pickled vegetables, seasonal salad, roasted caprese burrata, and rotating deviled eggs, cheese board, and waffle menu, there's always something new and tasty to try. Don't forget the ice cream sandwich!

Of course the beer is great, but the friendly staff and the rotating menu of savory waffles are what makes this place stand out. Be sure to save room for a homemade cookie ice cream sandwich!

I came to check out this place and I was pleasantly surprised by the unique ways waffles are used. I had some really good slightly sour beers and the burrata. The waffle chips were the perfect pair with the burrata. A nice new twist on one of my favorite foods . Also bonus: dog friendly

Was a big fan of the previous bar that here before. I think Sante Adairius is equal to if not better than (trapist). Incredible beer selection, great service, and the samosa waffle I had was AMAZING. Would recommend this place to anyone in the area.

Come for the beer, stay for the food! The veggie samosa waffle, caprese burrata with waffle chips, and kimchi deviled eggs were incredible! They paired perfectly with the Spots and Dots IPA and Saison Bernice. Chefs kiss!!
I want to say I visited this bar when it was under another name/owner, so I came in for a new visit. Immediately I appreciated how clean it was and there was a fair number of patrons sitting around. The server was prompt and very knowledgeable about what was on tap. I have a passion for sours and she walked me through the options. I settled on the Idyllic Contemplations. Light, slightly sour, with a nice mouth feel.

Stopped by for a beer after work. There is a dark brown wood aesthetics inside with a list of draft brews, both in-house and other breweries, by ABV. Also available are cans to go or online. The Bartender provides some suggestions based on my palate. Need for a nibble? There is a small menu with happy hour bites and snacks. I ordered their Little Bit Lager, 5% ABV, clean, light and fresh. Just what I needed at the moment. Very refreshing.

Great brewery that took over all the old Trappist spot with nice updates. Really good farmhouse beers and some other options. Nice back patio too.

Highly recommended as an IPA drinker. Stop by here weekly to have a pint and pick up cans. Knows a lot about beers and friendly. Must stop by if in Oakland.
