Two Pitchers Brewing Company

I really wanted to like this place. I moved in a block away and I LOVE Lovely's. As a result, I've ordered drinks at TPBC four times now and to be honest, I can't understand the culture of the bartenders. I used to bartend myself and I was under the impression that the rules hadn't changed. If you want people to come to your bar, order more drinks and/or tip well, you have to try to treat them with respect, but at a minimum, acknowledge them when they're at the bar staring at you.

When you have a bad experience with a single employee somewhere, you can dismiss it for a number of reasons. However, after four separate, practically identical experiences, it feels much less like a fluke. Let's run down the list of anti-customer tactics present: Inattentive, check. Indifferent, check. Lazy, check. Rude, check. Thinnly veiled animosity, check & check.

However, the beer is tastey and the attached burger place is positively TRANSCENDANT (See my review of Lovely's) so, I suppose, they don't really need to be nice. Well, I can honestly say that, given the proximity of my apartment, I would visit this place WAY more often if I felt like I wouldn't be treated like a nusance just by sitting at the bar. Till then, I'll just get my Lovely's to go.

So I had my first taste at two pitchers brewing company on my way home from my bachelor party. I sat at a long table with my four brothers and my father, and we ordered six blood orange radlers not truly knowing what that was. It immediately became one of our favorites. And a tradition of mine. Every year for my anniversary, I make sure I have two six packs of blood orange radlers with me on my anniversary. My wife and I both very much so enjoy them and I very much so enjoy reminiscing of that lunch with my brothers and my father. So thank you for making such an amazing drink. And cheers to many more years of tradition.

Visiting from Maui. We found a Super cool brewery. Awesome indoor/outdoor areas. Great for large parties or casual day drinking.

Great open air bar with plenty of seating. Tremendous hamburger stand attached to the bar that also provides ice cream. Great selection of beers.

This place is AWESOME. Great vibe and very comfortable seating. The staff is very nice and helpful. Bathrooms are very nice and clean. I'm not a big radler drinker, but they had delicious ones that really changed my mind. Baby and dog friendly both inside and outside too (high chairs, changing station in the bathroom). We'll be coming back!

Hands down, the best beer I've ever had is called the Weekender! This spot is very laid-back with friendly service and an amazing selection of beers. While the slushy I tried was just okay, the beer more than made up for it. I highly recommend sticking with the beer here! If I were local, I would definitely be back. A must-visit for any beer enthusiast!

Ordered two pitchers of the baseline larger for $12 each only to find out my bartenders did not communicate with each other and ended up over charging me. I ended up paying $50 for two of their “cheapest” pitchers. Scam, ended up playing DOUBLE what I should’ve. Make sure this doesn’t happen to you if you decide to go.

The beer, the staff, and the vibes are impeccable, but there are some pain points with service that they could stand to address. On busier nights the indoor side of the bar always gets packed; circling around to the outdoor side isn't an issue, but moving a few chairs elsewhere to leave a space for counter ordering would speed things up and keep traffic moving better indoors.

Feels wrong to complain about anywhere with 6$ pints in this day and age, but... with that out of the way, there's nothing else to mar the experience. These are proper, exquisitely refreshing radlers served by friendly people.

Best place is the world. Great atmosphere, great beer, awesome staff. One of the first places I bring people in Oakland. They even have the n64 upstairs. A must visit.

Good vibes

What a nice time !

Favorite place to grab a drink in Oakland!

Never have I ever seen a better deal than the Baseliner from a brewery before. It's one of the best tasting lagers I've ever had, and it's only $3 a pint. Phenomenal.

Normally a nice place. Bartenders today were pretty nasty, told us the upstairs was not open to the public (10 minutes before a a bunch of random people went there without dispute)I talked to the manager who said this was their policy - bartenders say whatever they like, kick out certain groups, and have license to be as arbitrary as they’d like.

Nice spacious indoor and outdoor space. Pop up donner kabib is tasty..House beers are 0k but guest taps are good
