Weak. Warm beer, whack bartender. Like talking to a wall. Place is called the cooler yet the beers are just about room temperature and not even that great. One and done experience

This place is a great place. They have great tunes, sports on the tv’s, and good drinks. The one thing that would be an absolute positive is a few Skylights through the main walkway in front of the bar. It would add warmth and attract a lot more attention and people.

No food, but they really know their beer! Received excellent recommendations and they were spot on for our tastes.

Nice quiet place where you can actually talk with your friends. They have a nice variety of beers on tap and other drinks. Right now they have an amazing imperial stout. They seem to always have something good on tap.

My partner wanted to get me a cider because we went to a beer garden, and all they had was beer--and I don't like beer. It was early afternoon, and there were a few guys sitting alone nursing their drinks.I got a delicious pomegranate draft cider. I was impressed with its dry flavor. Seriously, it was very good. The atmosphere was dark (I almost needed a flashlight). Besides the bar, there were small tables with chairs where you could visit with a friend. I liked the artwork that was displayed on the wall.It was wheelchair accessible.

Despite it's name, this place was uncomfortably warm. Ordered a round of draft beers with friends and some (not all) tasted a bit off... My guess is from old beer sitting in the lines for too long or a C02 issue. I'd recommend sticking to the cans.

Low key good beer bar

A friendly staff and constantly rotating collection of local craft brews make The Cooler a welcome addition to downtown San Leandro.
Discovered a year ago when moved to the area, continues to be our local bar as the “bigone” next to it the beers make wifey sick. This one has different breweries and all types of beer

Our favorite bar ❤️ we moved away to Bay Point in 2020 but anytime we are in or near San Leandro we still stop by. I love their tap and canned beer selection!

For the beer connoiseur. Great crowd. Loved March Madness here. Lots of amazing my beers.

Nice, knowledgeable staff, cool art on the walls, tvs in every corner w the game on, and solid, classic music on the speakers (e.g., Dire Straits, Stevie Wonder, Led Zep). Came here with carryout from nearby Slice House, and we had a good chat with the guy serving us, ended up learning some recent history of San Leandro even. Plus they had Pliny on tap. Can't go wrong starting your night here.
