We were enjoying the great drinks and food in the patio until we saw a couple mice/rats moving around. This is unacceptable for a restaurant.

The food was good and the staff were very friendly. However, we were seating in the patio and saw mice running around. Unsanitary for a restaurant…

Friendly neighborhood joint with good beer, good food and good service. The neighborhood is charming and very accessible by BART which makes it an ideal location to meet up my East Bay friends.

Great food, great selection of beer! I've been here 2 times for lunch, each time the service did not match the food. Casual service is perfect for the atmosphere but poor service is poor. Sadly... Unnecessary really. Love the food we however.

Second visit and they are 2/2, 10/10!

We got the moussaka (with impossible mince) and the veggie curry - both were delicious!!!

Last time my group of 4 all got meat dishes and loved them (the burger looks so good, even as a vegetarian)

If you like beer there are SO many on tap and my wife loved her wine!

The co manager took great care of us and match the awesome vibe of the server from last month (when my guy’s book club used the Monks Kettle as our meet up location).

We will be back and will definitely get the cookie’s to go (again!). I am eating the chocolate one (stuffed with peanut butter) at home after 10’seconds in the microwave… OMG…

This place is awesome. Food was great, beer selection is excellent, and the bartender is so knowledgeable. He told us all about our beers and talked to us about brewing. 10/10 experience.

the food doesn't disappoint but it's waaaay overpriced and their tip options start at 25% so i paid over 30 bucks for a burger and they even got my order wrong and had to redo it.

Full price for the smallest draft pour of beer I've ever seen. Mushroom toast was excellent, burger was not bad, but not good.
