The weather was perfect for enjoying a great burger and fries with a beer on the patio! The view, the staff and the food hit the spot!

The food was cheap quality and food service was bad.

Beer is alright, I'm giving this 1/5 because I was charged 4 drinks for a certain type instead of 3 that I actually ordered. I was too inebriated to argue against it but that left a bad taste in my mouth for the rest of the night. DON'T HAVE A TAB OPEN!!!

Fantastic beer. Overpriced mediocre food truck food, especially compared to the other location which has some of the best chicken wings I've ever had. Go to the ferry one.

I was so excited to try this place and was very disappointed. The food was bland, covered in sauce, and severely over priced. The saving grace was of course the tasting but even that was ridiculous. A tasting two plates of bland tacos and bland salad was $70! Place was busy and ambiance is nice but I don't see myself coming back. Only for the beer and if someone drags me here.

Love the vibes at this brewery. The workers are always friendly. The seating reminds me of school lunch tables. Indoor is spacious but the seating can be limited because each party occupies an entire table. They have games you can play that you exchange with the bartender for your ID, such as darts, foosball, dominos, etc. Outdoor seating has more availability and has a beautiful view since it is right by the water. They even have fire pits in the evening. The beers they offer are unique and have a good flavor. I personally like the cider. The food is prepared at a truck outside and is decent- I ordered the portobello mushroom burger and potato salad as a side. I liked the rosemary flavor on the burger. I've also had the pulled pork nachos before and enjoyed them. Great Vallejo spot.

We went to this place on the weekday afternoon. The parking space is plenty and place looks very clean and cool. Love the nautical theme interior design, and plenty outdoor seats to lookout the water. I ordered flight of beers, coconut shrimp curry, mushroom burger with pasta salad, pickle veges. The service is more like self serve type. You pick up the menus when you walking in, then order/pay food at the counter. They will give you a buzzer to let you know when the food is ready. The beer flight was great and I love the beer. Coconut shrimp curry was ok, wish the curry flavor is more stronger, burger was ok, pasta salad was delicious. Hope more shops will open at this area because I really like this location where you can enjoy the sea breeze and watching boats passing by.

We attended for a work dinner and enjoyed the atmosphere and service. Food was great and my husband especially liked their stout. A bit of a distance for us to drive but if in the area, we will definitely go again.

Staff were helpful and organized my hubby's retirement. Their rate was reasonable and will definitely recommend.

Service was terrible. The woman who took our order couldn't be bothered to acknowledge our existence and made us feel like we were an inconvenience. We had the clam chowder in a bread bowl which was mediocre, especially given that it's almost $15. There wasn't enough soup to finish the bread bowl as it was only about 3/4 full and the soup was more greasy than creamy. The view from the taproom is nice, but sure doesn't make up for the overall unpleasant experience.

Visited this gem in Vallejo today. This place checks all the boxes: Good Vibes, plenty of parking, clean, friendly staff and good service. I'm so happy to see more unique, fun eateries and breweries setting up in Vallejo. This city has so much potential. We had the flight, a salad, popcorn (ofcourse), the chicken tacos and the clam chowder bread bowl. My Clam Chowder was good and I really enjoyed every beer sample I tried, my favorite was the Pilsner as usual.

Now open 7 days/week. Good selection of locally brewed craft beer at a beautiful and historic setting. A food truck on site. Easy access and abundant parking.
