Great service and food. Loved being able to taste a few beers before buying. Had the Scrumpy cider. Delicious! Family atmosphere.

Gilman Brew Pub is a good newly renovated space in the Whole Foods parking lot in Midtown.The New hours open every day made me change my original grocery shopping plans I had that day. ;)Great variety of Fresh brew & food selections. I ordered the Crispy Chicken Sandwich with fries.Gilman is a nice addition to the neighborhood. Tons of free parking in parking lot will be a popular location for regulars.The combo was delish.

A really chilled space to come and unwind, really good food and drinks for a little bar. Especially enjoy the trivia night, something for everyone, laid back and friendly a nice break in the middle of the week.

Meh... A strip mall brewery with burgers served within 2 mins of ordering... Gotta wonder how long it was sitting there waiting to be reheated... Anyhow, I was hungry and now I'm not, so there's that... Thank god the beer was good... Saw some folks eating burritos that I assume were brought in from elsewhere... Seems like the right thing to do in order to enjoy their beer with food. Like I said... Meh ?

Atmosphere was mellow. The food was good. Fair warning, the Nashville Chicken definitely has a kick. The brews are also super good. Highly recommend Dog on Bicycle and Cat in Space, both IPAs.

Very solid company with good people. Been a fan of them since they first opened in Berkeley! Their new spot in Santa Cruz has their signature line of solid beers, both new school and old. Their recent food upgrade makes them a real go to spot for all occasions, especially games considering they have plenty of tubes!You can definitely just avoid long pointless lines at many other places on hype pizza, smash burgs and beers, and pop in here for the same caliber pizza, burgers, and brews instead! If you like spicy fried chicken, def scope the Nashville Hot Chicken Sando!!Best fried chicken sando in town!

I was so delighted by the wonderful service I received by Betty! She was so welcoming and greeted me with a smile! She was patient and answered all my questions about the food choices that are gluten free, sugar free, and vegan. I finally decided on the Margarita pizza and it didn't disappoint! I will come here again because Betty was so sweet and knowledgeable! She even took the time to walk my granny out to the car. Now that's service!! If only more servers were just like Betty!

This brewery is pretty good! It feel more like a locals spot. They had a good selection of beers and a decent food menu too. There's a nice patio with a few small tables and one big one. Good for grabbing a quick beer and bite!

Nice place, really good beers. Super nice service. The food is something I'll pass on next time, however.

Hopped in during the charging of our Tesla.Nice people.Very nice burger and fries!
Good Beer. Avoid the nachos unless it’s 2am and you need them. Cold chips, canned cheese, canned chili, paper bowl and plastic fork. 8$ nachos cost about .75 cents to make. I thought it was a joke.

Great selection of beers ?And warm, friendly service.

Pretty weak tbh. Place was underwhelming and kinda dirty, staff was nice, though they got our order wrong when we were one of 3 parties in the entire establishment. Overpriced, food was mediocre, beer was fine. Would not return, would not recommend.

Been coming to this place since they opened. Beer is awesome and the service is great! We bring our kids here and the patio is perfect for them to run around safely. My biggest complaint is them trying to sell a 'Bavarian pretzel' that is clearly from Costco frozen section for $8. The rest of their food is awesome...the pizza the salads everything else. Don't cheapen yourself to make something that's 700% margin.

Fantastic place, good assortment of beers on tap...only dinged about half a star - I really like barrel aged imperial stouts...malty with a lower IBU...and the closest thing they had was a Porter so went to the other end of the spectrum and had a nice hoppy light beer. BTW: The Staff is Extreeeeeemely friendly!
