One of the best tap lists in the Bay area and very knowledge staff. As a home brewer and beer snob I highly recommend!

One of the two best taprooms on the SF peninsula. If you know this one, you don't need me to tell you the other one, which is about 2 miles away. Like that place, AA has been getting better and better for the last decade or so. No food here though, it's all about the craft beer knowledge and vibe. Can't recommend a place more highly. Staff, music, and TVs showing classic 70s-90s films when there's no relevant sports on. This is the best there is .

ALE LOVERS, COME HERE!
I love a good ale and I could fairly be called an ale snob (nobody is perfect). I cannot find a better place to come and get a quality craft ale than Ale Arsenal. The ales here are a whole level above anything else I’ve found on the peninsula. The staff are very friendly and the patrons know each other often.

It is like a small slice of ale lovin heaven! 😍

Cozy bar with some beers, nice sort of place to go with coworkers after work to sip and chat. Didn’t try any of the food…

Nice long bar so theres a lot of space to chat, and a good selection of beers from various locations in California and nearby states including Moksa from Rocklin, Slice in Lincoln and other awesome breweries. They offer ales, sours, IPAs, stouts, wines and even got some in-house bottle options. When you leave you can pick up a 4 pack for your home. Service is good, and they offer some small bar snacks like pretzels and trail mix.
