Fieldwork Brewing Company - San Mateo

A great place for a drink and a meetup with friends. It’s an outdoor space but the are umbrellas and heat lamps. Good thing there was no rain and mild temperatures when we were there. Only thing I would have preferred was a TV to watch a game. But that could ruin the atmosphere. I’ll live.

Repeat. It’s a great place for a drink and meet up with friends (not watch TV).

Great beer selection and good focaccia bread pizzas.

King Coconut is the best!

Great vibe, great food, lots of beer options

We visited Fieldwork Brewery on a lively Friday evening, and the outdoor space was perfect for a casual night out. The seating is self-service, and you can conveniently scan a QR code to place your order, which makes things easy and efficient. With plenty of heaters and a couple of cozy fireplaces, the atmosphere was comfortable even as the evening cooled down. We tried the Detroit-style pizza, aptly named the "Delivery Boy," topped with pepperoni, jalapeño, olive, and onion, and it did not disappoint—tasty and flavorful. Service was quick, and the overall experience was great. Definitely a spot we’d recommend!

Everything is dramatically better than 2.5 years ago when I first visited. All the food options, especially the pizza, is superb. Quality of every style of beer has also improved significantly. Based on what I had, I recommend the Oktoberfest light lager, Olivia, Sour currently on tap, New Zealand IPA ( and I'm not an IPA person usually, especially not California made ones other than Russian River ), and the Stout on tap ( Oct. 11th )

Good beers, and great for your outdoor snack and pint. Would rate 5 if they had a misting system or fans.

Only treat the uppity locals with high regard if you don’t look like them you get bad service

Great beer selections. They have square pie pizzas. Nice outdoor seating. Great place for hangout with large groups

I thought closing at 10pm means you can be ordering until 10pm, not the whole place shut down before 10 pm ?

I loved it, cute setup and location. I loved the Pulp Gold Label most! Service was solid and atmosphere was lovely!

Beer was great food was great service sucked took forever to get our beer I would like to go up to the counter and order a beer

Great beer in a fun mini beer garden. Pizza is good and very filling, you can totally split one between two people.

Never visiting again. We were visiting friends and decided to stop by. Having had their beer before, it was an exiting prospect to visit the brewery. Unfortunately a disappointing visit, not from the beer, but the minimalist atmosphere. Steel tables on concrete patio. You have to scan a QR code to order and pay, entering all of your info, including CC into some unknown app. Leftover pandemic feature? A staff member brings you your order and then they are off. No interaction with staff to discuss ale choices, and certainly not catching a cost break with this sterile, impersonal approach. And the default tip on the app was 22%! I'll certainly enjoy their beer again, but never at this location.

best local spot for draft beer + some wine. wide range of IPAs, pale ales, stouts (the coffee stout was so yummy), though sours and fruity options are a little limited. their flights are GREAT for trying out different options because there are too many! There are cans to go as well. Good for hosting a birthday party or small group event.
