We stopped into Original Pattern Brewing Company while spending some time around Jack London Square…read moreand really enjoyed the atmosphere. The space has a relaxed, welcoming vibe that makes it easy to settle in for a beer. Their tap list had a good range of options, and everything we tried was well done and easy to drink. One thing that made the stop even better was the food situation nearby. There is pizza right next door, which makes it simple to grab something to eat and bring it back with your beer. That setup worked perfectly for us. The staff were friendly, the space felt comfortable, and it is a spot we would happily return to next time we are in the area.

Quality/Quantity - We almost did NOT come today. After circling for parking 3+ times, I told my…read morefamily if we don't find a space this last drive by, we will go to a different brewery and/or a different place for dinner tonight! Got lucky and parked two blocks away. 10 of their beers on tap; the rest are guest taps. So of course, I had to try their $3 signature Lager - Too light for me, basically you get what you pay for. Next... Pale Ale - $7, now that's more like it! No IPA today, so I had to settle. My daughter got the Yard Bird, Strawberry Lemonade Beer. Suits her. Ready for my 3rd beer, when my daughter said she wanted to go home and party some more?!?! So I abided. Lovely's restaurant is also here on the premises. See pictures and other 5 star Yelp review. Ambiance - Cool space. Lots of semi private spaces that you can rent. See pictures or their website. Very kid and dog friendly! Unisex restrooms with outside sinks, thank you! NO parking! So bad on a Saturday evening that we almost did not come. Open 6 days a week - see picture or their website. Closed on Mondays. Service - Counters service. For both the bar and Lovely's. The outdoor bar has WAY faster service than the inside bar, just an FYI. Price - Affordable, especially for the Bay Area. Just left South Lake Tahoe and paid $9 - $10 + tip a beer there, but you know that because you are following. Owner Comment - Congrats to the building since 1919. Congrats on your success since 2021; glad we were able to visit.

Love coming to this brewery for any occasion! Birthdays, catch-ups, study sessions, you name it -…read morethey have the space for it. Their indoor space is actually quite large if it's a rainy day too. The outside is super lively on a sunny weekend, and you'll see a ton of doggies and some kids. I enjoyed all the brews I've tried here, and there's one I'm still on the hunt to find again from here -- it was simply salt and lime light beer?? Still won't stop talking about it. Anyways, I'll be here again!

Having had Faction beers for many years, we've always wanted to get over to the brewery and check…read moreit out - and finally we had the chance. Wonderful place. Amazing view outside. We had the dogs so we had to sit outside (dogs are not allowed inside the venue) and it was packed but we managed to share a table with a single person. Dogs loved it. We had some great beers. Area is also great because of the distance of the three breweries right there. I put Bay Area or even Northern California breweries up against any region in the US. I firmly believe we have the best breweries quality-wise of anywhere. They had the flea market going while we were here which was kind of funny to me because most of the sellers had the same thing but it's nice to have and this is a perfect place for it. Parking was kind of crowded but that's to be expected with a popular place like this. Definitely one of the best physical breweries to go to in the Bay Area and great beer here.

Honestly didn't know what to expect from this brewery but was excited for the view of the city…read more The location honestly is perfect with it being a little hidden so it wasn't overly busy.

Service was still on top of it. We came here before a comedy show and got serviced in time to eat and make a day of ourselves after. The spritzer was so good and the food was delicious . I wanted spicy and they went above and beyond to make sure I had what I needed .

Just go anywhere else…read more First of all, the pricing is pretty bad. Maybe its because im not from the city...but a $20 dollar burger, plus having to pay for parking is pretty nuts. Then, you gotta do everything yourself. Keeping in mind the pricing and you would at least think you wouldn't have to get your own water?? And God forbid you want a separate tab, becasue now your ordering for yourself through a qr code like its doordash, just to find out that the website doesn't work when trying to pay, then they have the audacity to ask for a tip on the website?? Who am I tipping if I did everything myself? Anyways, we ended up just ordering through the waiter. I know that the restaurant is like this rustic millennial burger spot where they do odd stuff but this really threw me off. On top of this, I came with an elderly and when she asked for a water the waiter pretty rudely told her that it was self serving. Maybe this is nitpicking, and maybe we just got a bad apple, but our waiter seemed very unprofessional and spoke to us like we bullied him in high school. Additionally, while ordering, damn near the whole menu was out of stock. You would think that the two dollar charge for every ingredient added on your pizza would pay for some pesto. The menu is already not that big and suddenly it was reduced to only a couple of items. I would maybe understand if we had come later, but it was 4pm. Now for the famous outdoor seating, if you REALLY want to go here, please just eat inside. Yes it was cute, but leaves and seeds were constantly falling into our hair, drinks, and food. Maybe it would've been nicer to have lids on your cups so you weren't literally drinking around Lord-knows-what in your cup. Hopefully the seeds from the trees have protein, because I know I ate some. Finally, about the actual food, I will say that it was pretty good, and it came quickly! However, a burger from in n out or a pizza from blaze pizza is around the same quality for a more reasonable price. As for the pizza, it was pretty good and able to be shared with 2-3 people. Just avoid the "spicy" fries because they are just regular fries drowing in paprika lol. Overall, there are so many other cute spots like this around so just go to one of those.

The tables were covered with shade sails which was perfect considering it was a warm and sunny day. Pleanty of choices of beer on tap and the food selection wasn't that bad either.

We stopped into Ghost Town Brewing while spending the afternoon brewery hopping in Oakland…read more They have a solid selection of beers on tap with a variety of styles. My partner went with a Schwarzbier, which was smooth and well balanced. I had the Solar Offering hard seltzer, which was crisp and refreshing and a nice change of pace. The space has a strong punk rock vibe with skeleton and demon artwork throughout. It gives the brewery a distinct personality and definitely stands out compared to more traditional brewery spaces. The staff were friendly and service was easygoing. It felt like a place people regularly hang out rather than just a quick stop. We would absolutely come back the next time we are in Oakland.

This was our third time in but we get a lot of distro in my home city.

They have an upstairs and downstairs area. Just note there's not A/C, so the upstairs area can get warm on hotter days. They have a great selection of beer, but I always end up gravitating towards their Limitless Bavarian Hefeweizen. They even have agua fresca which is made from a local. So good and refreshing! They do have some food offerings as well. Always greeted with friendly service. I love that they collaborate and have lots of events going on. That's how I heard about their annual chili cook-off! Plenty of parking available. Just don't park in front of the parklets. I got ticketed there once since the red on the curb was faded and discovered after the fact that there was a fire hydrant hidden behind the tree. Overall, just a great spot to chill and grab a beer with some friends. Will continue to patron Oakland United Beerworks.

The service was great, they allow dogs inside as well. There's an upstairs area with high top tables, couches, and space to stand too. They have an extensive beer and wine menu. I appreciate their NA selection too. It was really hot and I didn't eat enough so I got a N.A. Mexican lager for $10, it was awesome. It had great flavor, not too watery, easy to drink. Their prices were good, space was clean. They even have a beer fridge if you want to get a pack. I would come back for a drink with friends

Pretty new and hip modern day urban brewery in the gentrified part of West Oakland. I was told…read morethis brewery is only 2 years old. I've actually walked past this building before, back when Horn Bbq was next door, but not sure if they were able to open during the same time, as Horn had to move out a few years back. Very industrial vibe here, both outside and inside. For some reason most people were congregated indoors, and nobody was on their patio. The brewery equipment is visible but is blocked off. They do very little inside that warehouse-y space to decorate or give it their stamp. Totally just looks like a warehouse, whereas other breweries with a same type of industrial space like Drake's and Ghost Town have stamped their look and image. I tried a sampler here 4 brews and think they are about $2.50 per 5 oz glass, which is a generous gesture. Of the 4, I really liked 3 of them, and one was kinda weird to me. But good success ratio. I loved their Amber which had a great roasty malt character and hopped in a balanced manner. Tried 2 of their IPAs and one was a winner, that I got a pint of it to go with my pizza from next door. Awesome combo that I would love to revisit, Brix Factory's beer with June's Pizza. Seriously smacks!

We have been here a few times and every time has been a hit. The beer is delicious. And there is a…read morepretty decent $3 beer on draft. The menu rotates maybe every few months, I'm not sure the frequency. One time I came and had some health issues where I had to eat a salad and so I ordered the salad and I was so sad about it. And it was seriously one of the most delicious salads I have ever tasted. My 8 year old daughter ordered empanadas and it was so good. The fries are also delicious every time. The last time we went, we had ghost pepper chicken wings. The person taking our order warned us it was super spicy and he struck me as the type who could handle spice. It was so spicy, sweat and tears and sinus clearance, which is the kind of spice I chase. It was wonderful. The seating area is completely outdoors and there is live music sometimes. Very dog and kid friendly and there's ample seating every time we have come even when it's busy. All the food hits every time, as well as the beer and the service. Highly recommend.

tldr; online order wasn't available when I went to pick it up & no accommodation was offered…read more I considered not writing this but decided if I could save someone frustration from driving from afar and encountering what I did, it's worth my time. Firstly, I love GT and really enjoy their beer and visiting their taprooms. Full disclosure I'm a former professional brewer so I take beer VERY seriously! I've also worked in the service industry and understand that role. I know sh*t happens and I typically extend grace but if you know craft beer like I do you know when there's a great batch of something you love, there's nothing else like it and you will DRIVE to get it. Hop profiles shift, strike temps can differ, water chemistry varies, salts do only so much so a great batch is a great batch!! My issue is simple, when I order and pay for beer online for pickup, I expect that my beer will be there at the scheduled time. This is the second occasion that this has happened at this location, thus me writing this review. I don't have to tell anyone how rough it is driving through Bay Area traffic to pick up an order in another city and finding out once you arrive that your item isn't there. In this instance the beer-tender was extremely nonchalant and almost flippant so of course I left with a level of frustration that didn't just go away. What happened to accommodations when situations like this happen, ya know a small discount on the beer that I end up buying as a replacement. Telling me my card was refunded and you tried to call me when I have no voicemail from you isn't it. Surely my inconvenience deserves some sort of nod of acknowledgment. Overall it's an experience that leaves a bad taste, an off flavor if you will! I hope no one else encounters this and that my experiences are one-offs but I personally have very little faith that what I buy from this location will actually be there upon arrival. Better to just buy it on the spot since the convenience of ordering online doesn't seem to work out!
