    Wings
    Betty L.

    We visited on a Saturday late afternoon. Parking is a little tricky. You need to park by the Whole Foods area and then walk. They have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. There is music playing. There are ping pong machines. There are restrooms with coed shared sinks. You can ask the cashier to give you a sample of the beer. I had the Koga Kola (2/5), lager (4/5) and wings (5/5). The wings were delicious. Enjoy

    This was a fun brewery to go to with a group. Music was great, the staff were welcoming and informative. The tables were clean and ranged from cocktail tables to bench tables. There were so many beers to choose from, hard to decide and we opted for two flights. The flight holder had numbers which associated with the beer we ordered on the paper. The pours were huge and we should have opted for just one flight. The pizza they served look good but we had a dinner to go to after, otherwise we would have ordered. There were plenty of board games available as well as their arcade games. There are no beverages allowed by the arcade area. The bathrooms were maintained well. As we were leaving, we saw a party arriving for a private party. Bare Bottle would be great for birthdays.

    Very casual brewery with a fun atmosphere. It definitely gets busy depending on the time you go, but it's a great spot for a work happy hour or to hang out with friends after work. The beer was decent from what I tried, and the food coming out to other tables actually looked really good. I'd come back again to try more of the menu and give it another shot.

    Green Ecstasy Pesto pizza

    We often drink and enjoy Barebottle beers, but rarely make it out to the actual taproom. Came here twice within a month after having visitied the one in Menlo Park. The ambiance is nice and reflects a beer hall with the long wooden tables. It certainly seems like a popular spot given that a lot of the tables were reserved for specific time slots, leaving minimal seating for those walking in. They have beers available in several styles, and a separate area/line for takeout orders. Their kitchen offers salads and pizzas, along with a few snacks such as tater tots and garlic knots. We really enjoyed both Detroit-style pizzas we got: the Sweet Heat Pineapple pizza and the Green Ecstasy Pesto pizza.

    A brewery with AC?!? Count us in! Hadn't been to Barebottle in a while but it's as great as ever. Huge selection of beer, arcade games & TVs. You can trade in your ID for board games which is awesome. This was my first time having joyride pizza and I loved it! We got a Caesar salad and two personal pizza and they were all sooo good. The staff is also super friendly! They have outside seating, but the inside is actually much nicer

    We ended up walking over here after we ate dinner at Puesto Mexican Artisan Kitchen and Bar. So conveniently located, secluded, and a hidden gem. We arrived here on a Friday night for some after dinner drinks. The brewery is located in a nice modern plaza off Bowers avenue in Santa Clara. Parking is accessible in the parking garage and the large parking lot a couple of blocks away but it can be busy during prime hours. Upon walking in, since it was a Friday night, it was packed. There were a lot of long picnic tables everywhere and TVs hanging on the walls. Sofas along with pin ball machines, shuffle board, and a pool table were to the right side corner. We were able to eventually grab a long table with high chairs for our group. There was a solid beer selection on tap. One of our friends bought a round of pilsners for the first round. I do not normally drink pilsners but the beer was still refreshing and light. I took care of the second round of beers which was a mix of hefeweizen and hazy IPA beers. My hazy IPA, Terpenes in time, was delicious and citrusy in a good way. The staff was very friendly and helpful with the beer draft menu. Overall we enjoyed our experience at Barebottle Brewing Company. When we are in the area, we will be back. I hope to try some of the other draft beers on tap.

    If you love beer then this is the place. If you're also indecisive this is also the place because you can get flights and try them all. There wasn't a beer I didn't enjoy and that's saying a lot because I hate beer. The appetizers they have were alright but the service and vibe of the place was great. We went during a football game and everyone was cheering and enjoying their time. There's also a little arcade section to just kill some time and play with some friends. The only negative I saw was there was a fly in one of my flights but was quickly resolved as the workers were like it's normal and gave us another full cup. Love the service and the workers

    Tater tots w/ a chimichurri-like sauce
    Jenny Y.

    It's been a while since I last visited barebottle. Stopped by this past weekend on a Sunday. I've always liked that it's a very spacious brewery. Large tables, good for a big group or shared with another small group (if it ever gets too busy). I was surprised to see they have a whole menu for food now! We tried one of the Detroit style pizzas (regular size), tater tots, and wings. Tots and wings were baked, so they weren't oily. Tots had a chimichurri-like sauce to it. Not your typical dipping sauce but it still tasted good and freshly made. Prices were a bit high but it is convenient to have more food options in-house now. I'm a west coast ipa gal, so they had one option available that day. I usually like their selections of beers! The beer signs are always so nicely written/designed. Easy to view and order at the bar area. They have a couple of TVs so it was nice to have both the nba and mlb games on. There's a section dedicated to arcade-like games with couch seating. There's also outdoor seating available too. Good brewery to hang out at if you're in the area. On the weekends, free parking at the structure across the street!

    Great spot for a beer and some food in Santa Clara! Came here after an event at Levi's for lunch and a beer. Great selection on tap and the pizzas were delicious. The spicy pineapple was by far the best of the 3 we had. The bbq chicken was 2nd best and a close 3rd was the Buffalo chicken. The Brussel sprouts were just ok, fantastic flavor but didn't like that they were shredded and not charred, garlic knots also ok but the hot marinara and ranch brought them up a notch. Definitely a place I will come to again when in the area.

    Outdoor patio at Barebottle
    Sammi L.

    Reserved the outdoor patio at Barebottle Santa Clara for a birthday party with ~30 guests. The site makes it super easy to reserve ahead of time and was one of the lower res options in SJ for a bigger group at 240$. Staff were super helpful and attentive, refilling our water, plates, napkins, utensils. The team is great there. We didn't know where to park initially, but the garage across the street has ample space. Loved their selection of beers and their food menu. We got the Detroit style pizzas - so good - wings and garlic knots among other items. Multiple people got tasters which they really enjoyed. It was so nice to have a reserved space that welcomed dogs and kids. Will definitely come back to play their arcade games and try more food and beers.

    I was here for a work event and it was a great experience. There are many food and drink options, we got a bunch of pizzas and some salads and there was a large drink variety. The flavors of the drinks are pretty cool and there's non alcoholic options as well. The pizza flavors are also very unique and the size of them is super cute and it was easy to share everything.

    A menu with a wide selection and great variety.
    David B.

    Great atmosphere! Really friendly staff! And a good and diverse selection of beers. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

The chicken tenders were not really strips, but pieces of cut chicken. The breading was light and crispy and the chicken was juicy. These were really good served w bbq sauce and buffalo sauce. As we were leaving, it almost looked like they were closing down for the night. I think we were the last ones out at like 6:30 and I know just realized that is super early for a Saturday night. Overall it wasn't too crowded, the bar was open to sit at but the dining in front were taken by a soccer team outing.

(note: you can apparently order pizza, but only a whole pizza, at the bar) They also had been doing slightly better with bar staffing, with the bar being open more often than not, though still sometimes closing early and often 'temporarily closed' while the bartender went on break or on lunch. I guess the idea of having coverage is unknown to management here. BUT, now the bar has been closed for several days because "no one's been available to come in". I don't understand how management here is so incompetent with staffing. Bottom line: this place is good for beer (but not food) and terrible about being open.
