12 Best Craft Breweries near San Mateo

“Great atmosphere and brews.“

“Come for Happy Hour or a cold beer few times a week. Good atmosphere, fast service usually Liz, Chelsea and Guy with longer hair and hat or Angel there they all have good customer service, friendly and Happy to Help. all good at what they do but Liz is definitely our favorite only because we have known her the longest and she has never let us go Thirsty or hungry and great at always checking on us 💯👍 as well as Chelsea Angel and the other guy. Been to many BJs in different states but got to say San Mateo has the best atmosphere then By other BJs we been too. But guessing it's only because of the staff there give them what they deserve and keep them around Because without them it wouldn't be the same.“

“Awesome brewery with absolutely delightful brews. Great live music events and super tasty food trucks and vendors. I love this place!“

“Great people and great food. There’s events every night. So fun“

“My fiance (now wife!) and I got married in October of this year. We had an intimate ceremony at SF City Hall and were in need of a chill, laid-back venue to host our reception at. We're both huge beer lovers and naturally, breweries were among our top choice of places we wanted to host our gathering at.

We visited quite a few different breweries and ended up booking our reception with Devil's Canyon Brewing Company. These guys specialize in private events (they're actually only open one day of the week to the public, the other days are all for private events) and it shows. Orestes, Agathe, and the rest of the team at Devil's Canyon were highly professional, accommodating, and friendly, and made our big day extra special.

Our guests raved about the venue, specifically how intimate it felt given our headcount of about 50 guests. We rented our the barrel room which gave our event a private feel despite the rest of the brewery being open to the public, and we even got to use their AV to play a slideshow and our own music. The brews were fantastic and the food trucks on-site were a hit, giving our guests tons of options and generous portion sizes.

Overall, we are extremely happy with how our big day turned out and can't thank the folks at Devil's Canyon enough for being a part of it. Thank you again to Orestes, Agathe, and the rest of the team, and we hope to be back soon!“

“I'm a big Barebottle fan and have visited their various locations before this one opened. Great beers including amazing sours (my favorite!). The staff are always so friendly and happy to provide tasters and recommendations when there are new rotations.

I booked the lounge area with with pinball machines and games for my birthday celebrations last week and the team were absolutely amazing. We opted to have our guests grab their own beers, but staff checked in with us throughout our time to make sure we had everything we might need!

Enjoyable every time we visit, whether for big celebrations, a flight after work or a quick drink before dinner! ?“

“I’m hooked and never not going to show up 😎“

“We stopped here while waiting to catch our flight because we had a while. It was super chill and a fun place. They had old pinball machines that we played and the ambiance was very cool and relaxed. Food was so yummy. Got the flatbread pizza and some fries to share. Very satisfied.“

“We enjoyed the food and the beer!“

“The best happy hour service in redwood. A great place to bring the whole fam. Staff are very friendly.

I came in and ordered a whiskey sour and a Cobb salad. Ricky took care of me. Louie was great. Perfect vibe on a Sunday afternoon“

“Great Cask style beers and even better service from Chrissy at the bar. I also recommend the fish and chips!“

“I was at SFO Airport waiting for my flight home and decided to use Drakes Flyaway service for lunch. The service was very quick and professional. In particular, the server named Ghil and Sada was excellent. I highly recommend using their service.“
