We love Pond Farm. It’s a great place to hang and eat good food and drink good drinks with or without kids. Always a relaxed fun vibe with excellent libations and the best pretzel around!

The food is terrible but the beer is pretty good and the service is great. It’ll work in a pinch. I miss when they had food trucks in the back with good tacos.
I’ve added chicken to my salads and it tastes like dry ancient chicken made days ago. Or like those chicken dog treats that are semi-moist.
I got a cookie once for dessert and it tasted like someone left it out on the counter for a week. Everyone in the group tried it and agreed. I cannot explain it, but the food has an incredibly unfresh and stale taste to it. Maybe the bread on the sandwiches is day old? I usually don’t feel full after getting a sandwich and a salad but there’s still something very greasy about the sandwiches. I once got potato salad, and the potatoes were half cooked so it was a pretty crunchy salad. The best food on the menu is the Mac n cheese. It’s the one item that doesn’t taste ancient. I want to be healthy and get their salads, add chicken to make it a meal but I think that chicken is questionable with the weird dry texture.
This place is very loud and could benefit from some sound dampening.
I don’t know if they have a food storage or a food age problem but something isn’t right. Also the chicken wings are abysmal. Everyone who gets those look like they’re gonna cry.

Quality Beer ~ Quality Vibes. Will definitely be back! Live music on a Saturday ~ a surprisingly soldi $15 Pepperoni Personal Pizza. Friendly staff, seems to stand a step above nearby Fairfax Brewing. Also, indoor bike parking, in America??? c'mon!

OH MY GOD. Pond Farm is a playground of beer joy! No, wait, a candy store for beer lovers who are gluten free!! I literally tried everything on tap… I LOVED so many of them, they’re so layered and thoughtfully crafted and all so different. I bought multiple mix and match four packs to go and even a bottle I hadn’t tried bc of… trust since everything else was so damn good. I think my two favs were the Devil’s Gulch Hazy IPA and.. oh no I don’t see it.. it’s in a dark green can (help! It existed in July but don’t see on menu now). For something light, the lager is classic, and the lady beer is light with a little more sparkle and nuance. BUT I LOVED EVERYTHING except for one or two that were sweeter on the palate (still great just not excellent for my personal preferences). I foolishly didn’t eat but the food looked so tasty. Very spacious place, loved the ambiance. Everyone who worked there was fabulous - just as excited for me as I was about all of my beer options and the goodies I brought home. Thank you!!!!
Please start shipping. I don’t have a car! I won’t fill out the “how much did you spend” category because I bought over $100 of beer to take home after enjoying two right then and there (I was comfortable with pricing of individual everything).

Wow the beer (raku) is amazing and the food is out of this world (bratwurst and brussel sprouts)
Food is so, so. Nothing special and would not make the trip for the food alone. But nice selection of beer styles. Music too loud to have any conversations.

Added to my rotation after finding out their beers are all made with clarity ferm to reduce gluten. (Berryessa, Moonlight, Black Hammer are some other local Bay Area faves). Woot!
Great beer, and the food is very good as well. Very attentive and kind staff, especially Andrea! We will be back.

If you love breweries, this place is a must. A large and extremely open setting with comfortable seating indoors or on the patio. Their craft beer is excellent and their staff is obviously happy to help you or give you information about the beer. The food and beer menus rotate on a regular basis. Live music on Saturday nights. Absolutely a fun place for those who enjoy good beer, good food and a good buzz with friends.
