    Very good selection of locally made beers, from sours, to lagers, pale ales, IPAs, double IPAs, stouts, pilsners and black lagers.

    Came here with hubby and our daughter from out of town. They wanted to try a new brewery in town so this one came up. They have 2 locals one in olive drive and one dt. It was Sunday evening about 6:15ish. Dog friendly place with. Small outdoor seating in front of the brewery. We walked in and were greeted and helped out right away. We picked the Pilsner and the passion fruit hard seltzer. The seltzer was a touch sweet for me. They enjoyed the Pilsner that they got. There was an incident where another dog went after another dog at the bar. That was a little scary to witness. The bartender was super helpful with the menu choices. They have to go beers. Salad and chips for snacks, and chips. Some arcade games In the back. They have hats and tees and coming soon local artist.

    I can't believe I didn't leave a review for this place yet! I frequently say this is the best beer spot in town. Super clean and great beer and service, and the vibe is very conducive to small gatherings. One time I even chanced upon an epic music session by the local community! Arcade games in the back for the underaged is a hit as well. Definitely come check it out if you're in town!

    Best craft beer spot I've been to in the Davis area. It's a small space with plenty of seating, great for large groups. If you don't mind dark and slightly hoppy beers, I'd recommend the Irish Red and Illegal Smile (hazy dipa that's not too hoppy!) respectively. There's also a couple of video games in the back for entertainment.

    Emma just loves the variety of fresh beers and the free arcade games. Glad they opened a second location downtown although the Olive Dr location is also nice if you're looking for a quieter setting.

    This is where they keep the beer frosty -- you know the snow man.

    Today was October the Third. I wandered into town to buy some art pencils and have a mocha at Peet's. I stumbled upon Dunloe Brewing, the Local -- which is the downtown location. They have other facilities on Olive Drive. See. https://dunloebrewing.com for more information. I chronicled the visit, which I only consumed one beer, for the sake of research and day drinking (just kidding). I took five okay pictures attached -- each picture has more info on it. I highly recommend this establishment. You can buy a sandwich at Zia Delicatessen and have a beer next door. They allow food from outside to come in to join your beer. Suggestion to business owner: Some kind of big screen TV to look at.

    We were so excited to see that Dunloe opened a tasting room downtown. The beer is amazing!!! Love their hazy IPAs- Illegal Smile is my favorite. If you love beer, I mean really care what your beer tastes like, you need to stop by. Great tasting room...lots of room - hear they are adding more seating, too.

Though near the 80, Ruhstaller Farm is pretty much in the middle of nowhere. There's no conspicuous signage. It's easily possible to drive right by & never know what's here. & yet, the few times I've been here, generally later on a Friday or Saturday night, it's obvious that Ruhstaller Farm is the busiest place for many miles around in any direction. It's somewhat puzzling to me. Add in the idyllic bucolic vibes, & this place feels is a bit surreal to me. There's something about the frolicking farm ambiance here that reminds me of the Aliki Farms skit from the 1st episode Portlandia.* So how do I know about Ruhstaller Farm? A friend I homebrewed with for years lives in Dixon. Being beer nerds enough to brew it ourselves, we'd stumbled across Ruhstaller beers a long time ago. That early stuff was rough. The beers pouring now at Ruhstaller Farm are definitely a drastic improvement. The bar staff has always been friendly. & really, this is a nice place to relax & enjoy a beer. But that's it. I'll come through once in a while & have a beer or 2. I'm not staying. No matter how much anyone might say they'd love me to stay, & I'm absolutely not putting on a frilly dress. *https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=If41cZMBgqA

When she got there, we got in line and ended up waiting about 10 minutes to get to the register. We both ordered a burrito bowl (chicken and carnitas). One of the biggest draws is the self-serve chips and salsa bar. The chips are so good and the selection of salsas and add-ons was awesome! We went outside and sat at one of the "bar" spots. Our food came out in about 10 minutes. The servings of salsa and guac on top were remarkable! We mixed up our bowls and dove in! It was a very hearty bowl and we were glad since it was not super cheap ($17.80). We sat at the table for almost 3 hours and the servers eventually came and grabbed our bowls and not once pressured us to leave. The place was so busy and buzzing with conversation. The vibe was super chill and the people watching was so fun!

If you know, it is already incredibly hard taking an autistic child to a restaurant. The manager thought it was ok to tell my 13 year old to put on my autistic son's shoes..... (why not ask me, the mom?) As my son is screaming and heaving a full meltdown over shoes now, the manager continues to apologize because there were possibly glass shards on the ground in his restaurant. If that is the case, maybe someone else should be notified as that is a serious safety hazard and my son would get cut anyway as he has sandals that expose his feet, as did my daughter. I will never eat here and will make sure to let all my friends with and without kids with disabilities to never eat here. What an unacceptable excuse this place made me and my family feel. If I could I would rate it 0 stars. Horrible management!!

This place gives me sports bar vibes with a very friendly attentive staff. This is our second time coming here and it definitely wont be our last. Definitely recommend this place if your in Davis.
