Located on the side of a Whole Foods, it's a chill place to have a drink from they have available on tap or buying your own drink from the grocery store. I came across this place because I was looking for a place to watch the NBA playoffs. They have a good variety of sours, IPAs, light beers, and wine. They don't serve food, but you can grab hot food from Whole Foods or bring your own pizza if you want. Service was polite and friendly. Lots of parking available since it's located in the Santa Clara plaza with the Puesto restaurant next door. read more

Love shopping at Whole Foods, and then able to go and relax at the bar with something freshly tapped to chat with the regulars before going home to unpack. The service is always great, Alyssa always has solid recommendations. read more

Love this place. Inside a whole foods market, So you can take your food to the bar and eat it there or order off their excellent taproom menu. Loved the roasted cauliflower and Brussels sprouts. They have good beer is on tabs and you can also see the current menu by going on Untappd. Brian is a good bartender as is Eric. The cook is great - gets your food done to perfection and out fast. Lots of big screens here with games on going fun place to hang out in general even if you don't want to watch TV Gotta say I really the bartenders here. Eric, Brian, Christian are awesome. read more

The new taproom hours effective from July 5 seem to vary based on who is working. The hours posted online and at the location specify 9pm, but the staff informed us they were closed when we stopped in just after 7pm. We expected the beer to be generally average in the 3 out of 5 range, but were disappointed to not get to try any of their beer. Call ahead if you'd like to try this brewery since their hours fluctuate from what is published. read more

They had pliney the elder on draft here!! I don't know how long they'll have it but I was stoked and so happy. It was my first time there. Had I known about this lovely place I would've had my fill of pliney. I also bought a lovely cheese pizza from the cafe inside and it was on sale for $9 for an entire pizza and you can eat it at the bar! It was so nice. French fries and side salad were also good at $3. read more

Awesome place to come for some food and drink! It's connected to the Whole Foods so you can also pick up some food from the store and bring it over. They have happy hour from 4-6, Monday-Friday, but honestly the savings are not that much, so I don't mind paying full price (only $1 off appetizers and drinks). They have a variety of seating options, including bar seating, long high communal tables, and low lounge seating. I saw a sign for outside patio seating as well, but it was raining when we came so I didn't check that out. You line up to order food and drink with the bartenders and get your drinks right away (you can open a tab), but if you order food you get a pager that vibrates when your food's ready. They have a self-serve station with utensils and tap water that you need to get yourself. We came on a Friday night around 7pm, and it was pretty busy. We had to wait a bit for the food, but it wasn't too bad! (They have 6 TVs to keep you occupied.) We got the fries, eryngii, spicy tuna roll, and edamame. Our favorites were the sushi and edamame! Overall, a lively environment, friendly service, reasonable pricing, and good food. Would definitely come back! FYI looks like kitchen closes at 8pm (at least on the Friday we went in February 2019). read more

I went here and had heard of them through the Oakland store. I was shocked to find that they had a location in whole foods in Santa Clara. I was looking for a bit to eat to take with me and for a cider if they had one. I don't think they did, but that is information that I gathered from looking at them online. I wouldn't not really know, because not one person spoke to me. I wanted to order the brussels sprouts and cauliflower. I figured that they would be the veggie portion of my meal. I could forgive them not having a cider. But unlike the market, no one acknowledged my existence. I went through twice, upon entering and upon exiting and lingered hoping to get the attention and got none. I figure that they didn't want my money. I did get some olives and crudite in the store and ate them along with my smoked salmon, rice crackers, and truffled goat cheese. I was hoping that the cauliflower and brussels sprouts would round out the meal, but they didn't because I was ignored. Not good, Fieldcraft. Not a classy move at all. If in the area, I'm never returning to them at this location or any other. It wasn't the lack of cider that got to me, but the crappy treatment. read more

Great place to come for happy hour! A full bar (beer, wine, spirits) and specials (food and beverage). You can always buy food/ alcohol at the Whole Foods which is attached if you can't find anything you want or if there are people with food allergies in your group. This particular Whole Foods specializes in Asian cuisine. Food comes out fairly quickly and was delicious. There is plenty of seating (which comes in many varieties of table and chair types) although it can get busy. Unlike other Whole Foods in the area, the bathroom is often not the cleanest which is unfortunate. Staff is always friendly and happy to help. Very relaxed ambiance and just a fun place to be. read more

This taproom us a fun local gem! They have a nice variety of beer and wine and you can do flights. Literally a bit of something for everyone. You couldn't purchase food at the counter but you can buy it in the store and a all over. The ambience is nice and there is plenty of space to sit. Our server was also extremely friendly and kind. read more

Our initial bartender was named either Angela or Alicia, unfortunately I forget which. Upon our initial arrival things weren't to busy. She was washing dishes, took my order and started making drinks. I happened to notice that she picked up glasses and would place her hand over/on the rim of the glass. When I ordered a shot she grabbed a shot glass, turned it over, and held it with her index finger inside the shot glass. I didn't say anything since her hands came straight out of the sink of soapy water however.......This was not the case when I ordered our second round. She was helping people in front of me, handling cash, giving change, taking the pen back from people signing the credit card slips, and no hand washing at all! She then handled the glasses again the same way. After I paid I walked to the end of the bar and had the manager replace them all. It is an unsafe food and beverage handling practice to touch the inside of glassware! Bacon Burger was decent, but the weird mayo they serve it with is a pass. Go to the condiment station for Sir Kensington's on tap! Ketchup, Mustard, and Secret Sauce! read more

Normally, everything is really good getting food and beer at this Floodcraft at the Whole Foods. Had a gap in service that was insulting enough for me to voice it. Ordered a burger and garlic fries and all seemed just fine. I look at the counter and see a tray of food sitting there, and after 5 minutes or so, my pager buzzes and I get the food. The burger is still kinda warm, but the garlic fries were kinda cool. I asked the person who brings food out if it is possible to warm up the fries. She looked at me like I was inconveniencing her and she said they don't have a microwave. She said the food was sitting on the counter for a long time, basically accusing me of not picking up my food. I then asked if I could get fresh ones, and she took the fries into the kitchen. Came back out a few mins later and said they put the fries back in the fryer. BUT there wasn't any garlic seasoning on it any more. I asked if I could get a little more garlic topping and she just handed it to me and left. Pretty disappointing. She had and opportunity to make a customer happy, but instead turned it into a poor experience that overshadowed everything else. At least the beer and the bartenders were great. read more

Good selection of in tap beers from different breweries and even their own. This bar is inside the whole foods, I thought it will not be good but i like the beers i tried. I did not tried the food but friend of mine that has been there told it is pretty descent. read more

Wow, rudest bartender ever. I'm kind of amazed being part of Whole Foods ... possibly the rudest Whole Foods employee I have ever seen. They are usually so cheerful. read more
