Barebottle is one of my favorite breweries. I did not mind traveling out to the city to enjoy some…read morebarebottle. I was very pleased when they opened this location! So much closer to me. Barebottle always delivers delicious, mouthwatering, tasty hazy fruity IPAs. The staff memebrs are all so friendly. Food was not always offered when they first opened. So this was a huge bonus when they dropped their food menu! Their wings in particular are very crispy and thicc! There is a decent size patio area for little gatherings. Some arcade games and board games for entertainerment. It is kid friendly.

The middle has many tables for patrons to sit at. We parked (incorrectly) in some random parking garage, but you're supposed to park right across the street; Follow the signs for restaurant and shops parking (that we somehow missed). After a short wait on a Sunday afternoon, the bartender allowed us to taste a few beers on the menu that caught my eye. The cider (for you non beer drinking folk) was dangerously delicious and I really enjoyed their "fruited sours" line. Definitely would come back to relax at this location.

This review is late in coming as it is for an event we held at Hapa's in early August for the…read moreoccasion of my wife's birthday party. It was very good working with Cassie who was generous with her support in ensuring my wife had a great party. As disclaimer we know Cassie from our 6 year old's baseball teams the past couple years. My wife preferred Hapa's Los Gatos location at first but were advised that their Lincoln Ave location would be better suited for her party of around 100 guests including children. We had a private event space next to their brewing vats and rented tables, high tops, and linens through Hapa's. This location does not have a kitchen and instead have taco trucks and such who park outside. For our purposes we had an outside caterer serve our guests and Hapa's were very accommodating to them. This location has a couple barriers between it and Lincoln Ave. and is connected to other small businesses via hallways so it is safe for children to move about freely. Hapa's provided corn holes for kids to play within our space and we had crafts on tables to do. Next door is a pinball machine playing shop so between all these, kids were enjoying themselves and adults largely free to socialize. Hapa's doesn't require you to buy their beer but we opted for wristbands and open bar tab. If you do bring your own alcohol there is corkage as normal though, so we just kept with their beer which our guests enjoyed. Their bartender Alyssa was great to work with, ensuring we had everything we needed while serving their public customers. We were conveniently next to their bar while being set aside from public space. There is filtered water to spout from but it's on the other side of the bar, so a walk to/fro for filling up our water dispensers. Our caterer provided agua frescas, no extra fee from brewery on that. They were able to bring their equipment in the space and set up nicely to serve made-to-order tacos and quesadillas with side tables of self-serve rice, beans, mixed veggies, and guacamole. We had dessert tables perpendicular to them. We were at first concerned the space wouldn't work as it looks warehouse-y but when outfitted with tables/linens, catering, and our own decorations, it turned out to be a great space where people could sit or stand and be free to move around. I was surprised at how many customers Hapa's had as it's in a kinda random location but it was packed both inside and in the back. This casual festive brewery environment worked well for noisy children in our private space and their free and safe movement about the building was priceless. Everyone expressed what a great space it was and my wife really enjoyed herself being able to see so many circles of her life in one space. Thank you Cassie, Alyssa (sorry if misspell), and Hapa's!

I've given this place multiple chances over several visits, but unfortunately the service has been…read moreconsistently disappointing. My first experience should have been a warning sign. I walked in and stood waiting to be seated while an employee, who appeared to be the owner or manager, continued talking with her kids instead of acknowledging customers. I don't mind waiting, but a simple "We'll be right with you" would have made all the difference. I decided to give them another chance. On a later visit, I spent a few hours working there and ordered drinks. When a friend joined me, he sat down and was completely ignored. No one came over to greet him or ask if he'd like anything. We eventually had to flag someone down just so he could place an order. After that, our server mentioned that Tuesdays were buy one, get one free on wine. I ordered my second glass, but it never arrived. When I asked another server about it, I was made to feel like I was inconveniencing them. The irony is that I would have happily paid full price--I wasn't the one asking for a deal. They were the ones who brought up the promotion, then acted bothered when I politely asked about the wine that was never delivered. The final straw was our most recent visit. We were seated at a table by the staff, only to be told a few minutes later that we had to move because the tables were supposedly reserved for the party sitting behind us. We moved without making an issue of it, but no one ever ended up using those tables for the entire time we were there. It was frustrating to be relocated after being seated, especially when the explanation didn't match what actually happened. At this point, it's hard to view these experiences as isolated incidents. The common theme has been inattentive service and an attitude that makes customers feel like they're an inconvenience rather than guests. There are too many great wine bars that genuinely appreciate their customers for me to spend any more time or money here.

The wine itself was also just okay and was served fairly warm. Not sure if that was intentional, but it wasn't what we expected. Overall, it's cute, but between the lack of service and the underwhelming experience, it's probably not somewhere I'd go back to

It is a spacious venue, and there is always something going on. They occasionally do get rented out for events, though, so I'd recommend checking ahead of time, especially if you're not a regular. The staff here is great; everyone is really friendly, and the bartenders are quick and accommodating. The food here is decent, though it can be a little slow in coming out. Their selection of drinks is solid as well, and the bartenders are helpful in making recommendations if you're unsure. Overall, it's a really great spot to hang out after work--there is free WiFi, a ton of space, and a lot to do. I'd recommend figuring out when they're hosting events you enjoy or coming by with some friends if you're interested in board games.
