Awesome place to grab a beer and good eats. Enter and you'll see rows of tables and benches, good for small and large groups. To the right, an entrance leads to the counter to order food. Lookin for booze? No worries, keep walking towards the back and on the right is a small bar. This is a no frills joint. The burger was surprisingly good; moist meat, good flavor. No options for fries, *sadness* but chips are accompanied with your burger. Good service. One small feedback would be to lower the music just a tad. read more

This is the perfect spot to hang out with friends. They have great music playing, gorgeous artwork all over, and a good selection of beer. Their burgers are very juicy and flavorful. Would highly recommend! read more

It's a good bar but my burger was just straight up burnt. I like the idea of a porchetta burger and I still think it's a good idea after trying theirs. But the execution was really lacking. I'd also have gone with like a full centimeter slice of porchetta and not griddling it as hard because you want some of that fat. Porchetta is not meant to be lean. Still going with 3 stars because it's a sweet bar. Maybe I was there on an off day and I'll update if I go back for... probably a patty melt. read more

Nice outdoor space with beer, slushies (alcoholic and non), and food. Didn't see any reviews or pictures of the Miyami sandwich, so here we are. It's a fun and tasty sandwich. I liked the interplay of textures. Unfortunately I thought it was overly balsamic. The jalapeños added a nice crunch. I'd skip the avocado next time since there were only 2 small pieces which didn't seem worth the $1.50 upgrade, but it also didn't add anything to the sandwich. Grilled Mac and cheese was tasty but ultimately I prefer gooey Mac and cheese so this wasn't my favorite. Would happily return and try other food. The patio is great, staff are friendly and efficient, and beers are solid. read more

We enjoyed our time at Beeryland and so did the pup! We really appreciate dog friendly establishments. Also, the food was good! We had a burger, tuna melt, and side of the grilled mac and cheese. We were so full the mac and cheese had to be boxed and it was still good the next day. We will be back and when we return I want to try a slushie. I wanted to give 4 stars because they don't have french fries which I find to be sacrilegious when burgers are being served but we had such a good time you have to give credit where credit is due. Fingers crossed future experiences will be just as delightful! read more

Amazing burgers!!!! Finally tried the food in this cool beer garden. Couldn't help but order the mac and cheese burger. It was absolutely delicious, from the perfectly grilled sesame seed bun, juicy flavorful medium well patty, to the crisp-edged and creamy Mac and cheese, fresh tomato/lettuce, and special sauce. The menu boasted several burgers and sandwiches that I am excited to try in future visits. There is one that has the Mac and cheese between two 6 oz patties. Also want to try the porchetta sandwich. There is an outdoor patio to sit as well as indoor area with booths. Lots of beer options! Service was no nonsense and prompt. This place definitely has a lot of character and look forward to coming back! read more

This place has the thumbs up from a group of hungry swimmers! We stopped by Telegraph after practice so you know we were ravenous. We were also looking for a good place to chat over a beer, since we can't exactly talk to each other under water. Telegraph (also often referred to as "Beeryland") checked the hangout spot and food boxes pretty well. I was initially bummed we were coming here cause I didn't think there would be any good non-meat options. I was wrong. I had a veggie burger with mac and cheese on top and positively wolfed it down. It was one of the better veggie burgers I've had around this part of Oakland. I had it with a campfire stout and it really hit the spot. With that said, I do think for a beer garden their beer selection could be improved. I like darker, sweeter beers and the options were a little lacking. The ambiance was pretty good to hang out and chat. The atmosphere is almost a little intentionally grungy but definitely not gross or excessive. Just know that it's not a fancy, trendy beer garden. They've got lots of outdoor seating at tables and benches and when it's nice out, it's great! They have covered indoor/outdoor kinda seating but I didn't see any tried indoor seating, so I'd probably save this place for warm weather or bring a jacket. Very close to public transit. Uptown transit center and 19th st. Bart are both a five minute walk away. Lots of bike parking out front as well. It's also located near a lot of other stuff to do. Could easily hop from beer joint to beer joint or integrate Telegraph into your first Friday. All in all, I like it! Probably not my first choice due to the semi-limited beer selection, but would totally come back if I was with people who wanted to come or I just wanted the delicious veggie burger. read more

One word to describe this place: groovy! Telegraph (formerly known as Beeryland) has a very fun atmosphere. The wall paintings and decor are very colorful and fun. The Mac & Cheese Hamburger is to die for! The mac n cheese tasted fresh like Homemade and the sauce was delicious -- I even used the remnants as a dip for the chips. The drinks were pricey but refreshing under the sun. read more

Update Oct 5, 2020. Had a burger craving while in the east bay and thankfully this place was open and boy it did not disappoint. Obviously with covid they have limited hours, menu, and seating but coming during the week service and food were great. The staff are masked, temps taken at the door, and the seating is decreased but safely spaced out. The menu is all contactless using a QR code and it's so simple and easy to use and it linked up to whatever table you're at. The menu isn't their full assortment but have their classic go to burgers and a couple other sandwiches. Drinks options are shrunk down but the service here more then makes up for it. The staff were really friendly and helpful explaining everything. Got the Telegraph burger and chips and it hasn't missed a beat, still as good as I remember one of my favorite burgers in the Bay Area. So big and juicy and flavorful. While it is a bit quieter cause of social distancing, it's still a great place to hang out for a bit outside and get a delicious bite to eat. Will definitely be back to support local business read more

I really love the burgers at Telegraph Beer Garden. I don't know what they do to season them (soy sauce?) but they are super savory and delicious. I wish they served french fries, but they have signage touting their "fry free" zone. Haters. Wednesday nights are for Boozy Bingo hosted by Wild Bill. It's pretty fun, you might win a drink, food, or some schwag. There's a giant mural by GATS (Graffiti Against the System), and plenty of other cool street art to look at inside. read more

Beeryland! I came here and got the Mac and Cheese burger which was really juicy and delicious. We went on a Monday so beer cans were only $1.This beer garden has both outdoor and indoor seating and dogs are allowed which was nice to see! I sat outside with my friends and chatted for some time while we ate our burgers and drank pitchers of beer. When it's dark outside, there aren't that many lights or heaters outside, so make sure to bring a jacket. The place generally has a very chill vibe where people can just wind down after a long day. read more

We came early for beer and lunch and were not disappointed. I'll go back the next time I'm in the neighborhood.

I kindly asked for a metal Knife as the burgers are huge. The lady was white with brunette hair did not get her name. She handed me a plastic knife I asked for a metal knife and she stated they do not give out metal knifes. I go back to my table look around and everyone has a metal knife but me. We were the only black people in there it's actually insane!!! So extremely racist thank you for being up front about it... read more

Paid $60 for two burgers and two beers. I was surprised to learn after paying, the beers come in a small 9oz glass. Food was 6/10 - the burgers would have benefited from pickle. And charging extra for cheese was a bummer. read more

It was my first time at beeryland! The artwork on the walls surrounding you are all great pieces, and there is a heat lamp in the middle of the tables to keep you as warm as possible. **Bring jackets and correct outerwear, as only the center tables keep the heat. It all feels quite casual and cozy, while also being a cute little date spot. Couple things to note: Food and drinks are good, but overpriced. I got a burger (with no additional add-ons) and a slushie and my total was $33 (almost $40 after tip). You aren't able to pick your chip selection either. I had the Fade to Black burger for $16, and enjoyed it (it was smaller than the average burger though)! It wasn't a busy night, as at least 70% of the tables were empty, but my burger took 20 minutes. Not complaining about the wait, just be aware because I'm sure the wait times quickly add up when it picks up on the weekend. My slushie was okay. I would personally not spend $16 on that slushie again, but am happy I got to try it! My friends enjoyed their IPA and ginger beers! I've seen a couple notes on the service, but honestly it's quick and friendly. You just go up, order, and they don't bother you again. I asked a couple questions, since it was my first time and they were sweet in responding. Also came around to pet our dog which I personally always love. You do bus your own table which takes 30 seconds and I kinda enjoyed not being bothered when I was eating. I would absolutely come back again. I think the burger is good, and the flavors are great in the one I ordered. I would maybe skip out on the drinks next time! read more

I went here yesterday for the first time. I had the Mac N Cheese Burger. I was intrigued yet hesitant because I thought Mac N Cheese seemed extra or wouldn't live up to the hype. I was wrong - it was delicious! Now I want to try the Help Me Burger next. We also had a frozen Paloma. It was ok. We had the Temescal Crowd Favorite Hazy IPA and the Bare Bottle Hazy IPA. They taste similar, but I prefer the Temescal IPA it had a bit more flavor. I had the Pink chiffon, but they forgot the Takin :( read more

What a great vibe! Drinks and food are amazing. Visiting and my first time here was yesterday. This is the type of place I need back home. Super chill, dog friendly, and all around a great atmosphere. Staff are super friendly and helpful. 10/10 would recommend to give this place a go. read more

The best veggie burger I've had is here. The black bean patty has a ton of flavor and I liked how the edges had a nice crisp as I like a bit of texture. The special sauce, also great. My boyfriend really loves their Mac and cheese burger and always gets this anytime we come here. My other go-to here is the tuna melt (not pictured). Also very delicious and highly recommend. I enjoy the beer selection and the cocktails and specials here are great. Definitely one of my favorite places to grab a beer and the major plus is that the food is excellent. read more

Good way to get your burger fix regardless if you are a meat eater or not. Vaccinations required and they check you at the entrance. Indoor (sort of) and outdoor area are kind of merged together. You can get beer at the place where you order food (super fun guy behind the counter) or go next door for a full bar selection. Very casual place, which is good because the burgers can get messy. We tried the Kono burger, swayed by the kimchi, and it is definitely an eat at the restaurant food - it would not have traveled well. That said, it was unique, in the best sort of how did they think of this way, and tasty and came with a bag of chips that I could not get enough of. The ask is to bus your own table at the end of the meal which you leads you to the area where they make hand sanitizer available (use it because you smell like the burger you just consumed). Street parking was pretty easy to find although you may need to walk around a drug deal in action. read more

The first straight long brown & lightly colored strand of hair neatly tucked away in one side their diagonally cut tuna melt was forgivable. I discreetly brought it to the cashier's attention and got a free black lager. No problem. The second separate strand in the other piece of the tuna melt didn't bother me either until I got home. I figured and had to process that I'd just spent $50 (including the 20% tip) (1.5 working hours for me at age 35) to take my wife out, after hardly ever taking her out to to raise this newborn, to pull hairs out a sandwich and say nothing as to not ruin our outing for her sake, right? Both hairs, neatly tucked in both separate pieces. I would have rather you not wash your hands, write me a note to never come back, told me what I did to deserve that, and call the the n-word, all in that one seating & experience. You can keep the hairs on your head. That was a sly way of that entire team making me feel embarrassed & undervalued. Yeah, I'm losing sleep over it a little. read more

Cheese crust on a Mac n cheese, need I say more? Yes I do.... the cheese crusted Mac and cheese is just okay.. not as satisfying as it looks. However this place still gets 4 stars because their burger was actually pretty good! It needed the jalapeño mustard and Cholula hot sauce, but that combination, with the added bacon and a side of their homemade pickles made it a great mouth experience. Throw in some of that Mac n cheese and some chips and this is the dreamiest burger for an indecisive eater, like myself. Their pickles really made everything come together though. Perfectly pickled and sliced into thick chunks. Ambiance is really cool with outdoor seating for those perfects days/nights. Their 3rd party sauce bar is impressive with lots to choose from. read more

Oh, "Beeryland." I want to love you. Your outdoor space is great. However, my experience hasn't been great. First off, a bouncer is needed at the gate. I've come on Tuesdays three times now, and every time at least one homeless person has come into the bar and asked every patron at the bar for money. It's uncomfortable, and it has never before happened to me repeatedly inside of a bar. Second, service has been subpar. I ordered a Pilsner, and what was given to me was an IPA. I tasted it and asked the bartender to confirm they poured me a Pilsner. They said yes, and poured a small taster for me to confirm it was the same beer. I had a lot of hesitation, not wanting to make a scene especially if I was wrong, but once I got to my table everyone agreed it was not a Pilsner. I wish your bartender would have tried it so they could confirm if they had tapped the wrong beer. Prices are okay. Venue is okay. I'd probably give it a 4/5 if it weren't for those two things. By the way, I've had two friends order the Mac N Cheese Burger. They both agreed it was okay, but not to die for. read more

I've walked/driven past Beeryland a gazillion times before my homegirl randomly invited me to this spot and i decided to check it out. The 51/50 burger sounded intriguing. The old fashioned was tasty and strong (despite coming with a lollipop in it). The 5051 hamburger intrigued me, it's is supposedly half beef, half bacon but also, said burger apparently comes kinda rare, so if that's not your thing, ask for it medium well for a little pink. I had to return mine (cuz NO to raw pork right? server dude tried to say it was bacon ends and fat not actual pork meat, was the explanation I think?) and they DID fix it for me, but I got the impression they were stressed out that day, because they did a lot of overexplaining in an exasperated tone. Look, Y'all know me, I'm HUGE on customer service after 9 years combined of front of house and customer service work. The bartender was great though. I WANT to give this place more stars but as they were closing the main server was so rude to the patronage ("We're closing, you guys gotta go!") and just generally short. Even as I asked about the burger I could tell dude was annoyed which in turn made me annoyed. Bad enough there was no gluten-free bun for the burger (Lettuce wraps are a struggle sandwich & I REFUSE) but that is NOT how you let your patrons know y'all are wrapping it up (for the record, he aint bring that energy over to our table, I am not with shits). It's a beergarden type of space on Telegraph ave in Oakland, so there are definitely some weirdos and the street elements that find there way in there & the server's bumrush seemed to set one mentally unwell bro off pretty badly with a manic episode when he got outside. My thoughts & advice for you the reader as well as the venue: * walk straight to the back for the bar in the cut (faster line) * swap the lollipop in the old fashioned out for some Luxardo cherries * treat patrons like you appreciate them spending their hard-earned money w/ you whether or not you having a bad day * get gluten-free buns please 4 stars because: The food TASTES GOOD. I could have my preferences & allergies all day, but once it got to me how it was spozed to, that burger was tasty. THE DRINKS WERE GOOD. If you go to a bar, the drinks should be good. The Bartender was also GOOD. Good people watching. Nice spot to gather cafeteria-style (long benches). I see ppl making new friends here also. If I go back, I'll take pics to post and hope for better energy. read more

Great food and drinks, outdoor tables are great especially when it is sunny! Great place to go if you are meeting a group of friends.

Black Patrons Beware: GENERAL MANAGER CHEYENNE MATTHEWS While checking out at lunch today I informed the person at the counter that I had taken a cbd drink from the fridge/asked them to ring it up and they refused to acknowledge me. When I got back in line to follow up, they claimed it was on the original ticket. I explained I simply didn't want to be accused of stealing (a common concern for Black people in the U.S.) and they said I was "weird" and "harassing them". I would hope a 50+ year old WW in Oakland would have a modicum of cultural competence. I pity her and will not return after 10+ years of coming here and having a fine experience. read more

Definitely love this place. We live near by. Came for the trivia/bingo nights often. Was here on Saturday night (1/22/22). The bouncer with all the hair at the door was wonderful. Really nice and very cheerful. Giving 4 stars because the queen at the food counter was pretty sassy and a little rude. Seemed like they didn't really want to be there and we felt rushed making an order. If you don't like people, maybe don't work at a bar‍ Definitely will return though. Love this bar. read more

Perfect place to go on a nice day! This place is very casual, with lots of outdoor seating as well as seating indoors. There are also multiple places to order drinks which is great so the lines are never too long. I've never had the food, although it looks really delicious and very satisfying--think burgers and grilled cheese with Mac n cheese INSIDE of the grilled cheese. Highly recommend getting one of their slushies--they usually have a couple flavors to choose from and they are yummy and strong! The Paloma Slushie is my favorite! Prices are typical for a beer garden and I think reasonable. The waitstaff has always been friendly to me. I do not believe they take reservations but this is a great place for a group as the seating is long benches and tables where you can fit many people. Hope you enjoy! read more

Beeryland - Paloma Slushie delicious and dangerous! - Sandwiches Near Me - Oakland, California

The idea of this restaurant is great, but the staff is clueless. When our server brought our burgers to the table, I asked if someone could turn the outside heater on (it was cold and windy and no indoor seating is available). She told me I needed to ask the guy at the entrance. Really? She was just as close to the entrance as me, but I had just received my meal and -- oh yeah -- I don't work there. I went to the entrance anyway and no guy was there. I mentioned it to her and she went looking for him. In the end, the heater was never turned on. I mentioned it to her as I was leaving and she didn't apologize. She said she got busy. Well, she wasn't the only employee there, so if she feels comfortable delegating a task to her customer, why the F couldn't she delegate it to someone who actually works there?! The burger was pretty good, but I'd rather hand over $20 to a business that at least pretends to give a damn about its customers. Never going back. read more

Food is fine, but service is not great. It starts at the door, with an overly aggressive ID checker.
