Alaro Craft Brewery, Restaurant & Cocktail Bar

The beers, food, and people were fantastic. We had such a good time. Thanks, Alaro, you folks rock!

Being of Spanish decent, i was excited to try this place. It went above and beyond expectations. Food was fantastic. Great service. Tapas were excellent. The Octopus was amazing.
They gave my wife and I a tour of the brewery.

A must-visit! Alaro is such a pretty brewey! Even better? Seriously awesome staff (Mason was great), and yummy beer! Wish I had some food, but enjoyed some really good beer, so you need to visit!!

To say this place is perfect is solidly true. 6 different beers were tasted, all perfectly balanced. The dinner was the Rock cod tacos, amazing taste, fresh, and filling.
I would highly recommend to anyone visiting in Sacramento.

Very much just a brewery-bar with bar food. I had the good fish and great tarter, but just meh chips/fries. Others had an OK burger, some OK Brussels and OK octopus. The reason I say OK was because there was zero “hey, try this” at our table of eight. One person left in the middle to go walk the street fair.

So much for family/friends reunions.

Just ok food, and a nice bar anyways. Music seemed to be hit or miss, loud not loud. Service was very substandard from our server that forgot basically everything, including bringing us waters and had to be asked twice for the departing checks.

Alaro: the backup plan that delivered.

We rolled in last minute, no reservation, no plan—wine in hand from our first-choice spot. I hadn’t even done my usual vegetarian menu sleuthing. Honestly? I expected to settle. But surprise surprise, this place delivered.

The menu has range. Vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, meat-lovers—everyone’s invited and no one’s stuck with a sad side salad. We love an inclusive queen.

Didn’t try the beer because, again, wine. But the food? Came in hot. It’s refined pub classics with a little tapas flair. Fried pickles. Onion dip. A grilled cheese that was crispy, golden, and somehow not a grease bomb. Add the grilled onions. Seriously. Just do it.

There’s a freshness here that a lot of places in this category miss. It doesn’t feel heavy or overdone—it feels like someone in the kitchen actually cares.

The service? Super friendly and clearly knew the menu. But yes, we had to ask for flatware. Multiple times. Which, when your food’s already on the table? A little chaotic.

Still—flavor wins. The vibe’s solid. I came in with low expectations and left thinking about what I want to try next.

Next time, I’m showing up with an appetite... and my own fork. Just in case. 🥄✨

How I break down my star reviews:
1 - No. Not if it was the last thing on DoorDash. 🗑️
2 - Meh. Maybe if I’m desperate, close, and high. 😬
3 - Mid. Not texting the group chat about it. 🤷‍♀️
4 - Hella solid. Planning my next visit. 😋
5 - Shut up and take my money. Om Nom Nom. 🔥

Overall 5 ⭐️ love the ambiance, staff were cordial, food was delicious!

Great restaurant. Always have a wonderful experience. They constantly check in and deliver amazing food.

The food and drinks were good. Had a flight of their beers, all brewed in-house and all were great. However, what really stood out was the service! The lady that sat us whom I’m guessing is management or the owner was very welcoming. She asked us what brings us in and we told her with were in for a concert and she puts on a song from the band which we though was very sweet! Our sever was very nice as well. Overall, great food, environment, and people!

One of the best little brewery’s around Midtown Sac. The food is well prepared and the cocktails and drinks are creative. If you’re feeling up to ice cream after your meal or socializing the “ice cream flight” is awesssssssome. So many flavors ….so little time. Enjoy this place on a night out with your friends. ❤️

The beer is very good, but the food is fantastic! Always good to find a place that has truly hot oil when cooking fish-n-chips that turn out both crunchy and tender, as god intended.

Alexa was the best bartender! Great drink and she recommended the fish tacos, which were amazing. The waygu burger was awesome as well.

Had their burger. Was great. Great downtown location. Local beer. Highly recommend.

Great brewpub. Good range of styles, all very nicely crafted. Good food too.

Inviting atmosphere, clean, delicious Burger!!! Crisp Tap Beer 👌 Great service !
