    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.

My favorites were the pepperoni and margarita pizza. Crust was soft and pizza wasn't overly floppy, and well seasoned. Food came out fast and service was friendly.

Three Mile Brewing has emerged as my personal favorite. Tucked away back off the street adjacent to a small hidden courtyard, Three Mile Brewing has a calm, quiet, secluded feeling right in the heart of downtown Davis. Perfect for putting the world on pause while taking a moment to enjoy some beers. & the beers are tasty. To my taste, from what I've tried, overall, Three Mile Brewing makes the best beers in town. & very important to me, they serve taster pours/ flights. While I may occasionally have the full pint of a crisp lager, I prefer smaller pours of bigger beers. Service has been friendly, informative, & attentive. At this point, altogether, I've tasted well over a dozen of their beers. Just about all of them have been good to great. For tasty beers & some tranquility in downtown Davis, Three Mile Brewing is where I'm going.

Cheapish eats, chip and salsa bar, quick and fresh food. There is both indoor seating and outdoor seating and it's located on the cutest street. The fish and shrimp tacos were great and filling, topped with so much crunchy cabbage, hiding the protein, but it was there. The flautas were delicious and the steak tacos had big, juicy bites of steak. The guac was weak (not an order but what came with flautas). It was more of a thick avocado salsa. Props to the great beer options - with some local varieties from Davis. We went when school was out for summer and it was still quite busy for dinner. I imagine during school days, it's packed. I see why this is on so many of the Yelp top places to eat: it's a great value with large portions and good eats.

I loved the quesabirria taco, which came with consommé and my Aggie taco was ok. The Aggie had so much cabbage my friend asked me if there was any fish inside. I assured her there was but it did take me about 4 bites before I found my way to it. Otherwise, everything was tasty! The blue corn tortilla on the Aggie taco was a nice touch since it's one of UC Davis' school colors. The service was great; everyone was friendly and I liked that they cleared away our empty plates often. I also love that they have a complimentary chips and salsa bar. This place is obviously popular- the turnover time was fast and still more people were coming through the door when we left. Thanks and I'm looking forward to returning for brunch!

They checked in on us several times the service was fantastic. Now to the food, my daughter ordered the cheeseburger and I order the grilled chicken sandwich, i think that was the best chicken sandwich I have had in a very long time. In my daughter's words her Cheeseburger was "fire". I stuffed myself beyond full because I could stop eating it. Lol The mayo sauce was delicious and the bun was soft and tasty... fries were fresh and perfectly salted. Definitely recommend stopping in for a bit to eat.

This time I went with their strength and ordered a burger, the lamb burger. It was wonderful, the burger had a bold lamb flavor (why eat lamb if you don't like that gaminess?) and the feta cheese went well with it. My husband ordered the Mushroom and Onion Cheeseburger and he wasn't too impressed. The onions were not sautéed enough and the entire burger had not much flavor. As before, the fries were so-so, they got soggy quickly. You can order your burger a la carte or for $2.40 more get a side of fries or mixed green salad. One orders at the counter and is given a number to bring to a table. We at outside on the patio. There were misters nearby to keep it a bit cooler on a warm day. Our food came out relatively quickly. We had to ask for a knife so that we could cut our burgers in half. We each ate just half and brought the rest home for another meal.

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!!
