“Enjoy the beers and wonderful staff.“

“We held our 25-year high school reunion at Side Gate Brewery and Beer Garden, and the event was fantastic! Your facility was the perfect place for us to host this memorable gathering. The atmosphere was ideal, and the space accommodated our group wonderfully.

Alexis, the event manager, was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was easy to collaborate with, helpful, knowledgeable, and incredibly professional throughout the entire planning process. Her expertise and attention to detail made everything seamless.

The Side Gate staff was amazing, and we truly appreciate the exceptional service provided. I highly recommend Side Gate Brewery and Beer Garden to anyone looking for a venue to host a party or gathering. It’s a fantastic choice!“

“Check out this awesome local brewery with amazing beer and super friendly staff. They have a different food truck daily, and other event nights, so there's always a new reason to stop by. I recommend their beer slushy on a hot day and their horchata lager every day.“

“Sooooo many little kids, which would be fine in the Beer Garden but many of the young children were not being well supervised. Great vibes, good beer, too many unsupervised littles“

“Great atmosphere and beer.. good spot for families before 6. The food is a bit overpriced for the quality. they swapped homemade chicken tenders for Frozen recently which tasted like cardboard. but otherwise solid place, just the food menu is my only gripe.“

“Everything thing about this place is beautiful. From the staff to the atmosphere being half outside. I love it!“

“Dog & mom in wheelchair friendly. Great sliders & house made pickles.“

“Great little spot in the industrial area of Benicia. They had a fair amount of seating set up both indoors and outdoors, and they had 8-10 beers on tap. I went with their Golden Stout and really enjoyed it. The Beertender (Molly) was super friendly. I'd go back if I was in the area.“

“Very Nice Hazy IPA ! Good fish Tacos. Wonderful salad.“

“Wow, I’m not usually a sauerkraut fan except in a Ruben, but Headlands sauerkraut side served with the sausage plate is the best I’ve ever had! It has jalapeños in it giving it a perfect amount of mild spice. And get the brown and/or IPA mustard for the sausage. Yum!“

“They make great tasting beer in a good variety of styles. The staff is very friendly. They have comfortable seating inside and outside. My go to place for great beer and pleasant experience.“

“Beer is good. Cocktails are not. Boring Paloma and Bloody Mary. Nice outdoor space.“

“We threw our company holiday party here for the first time and it was a hit. The food and service was great. Roni helped plan it and it went smoothly. Hats off to her!! Jeremy was the bartender for us and did a great job. Thank you Jeremy !! The candy bacon, wagu burgers and grilled cheese/tomato soup were delicious. The beer was yummy too. Highly recommend this place for your next event or happy hour.“
