    One of the very few (if not the only) beer garden in Fremont, tucked in an industrial area south of Auto Mall and Grimmer. The vibes were somewhere in between a brewery and a parking lot tailgate, but overall I thought they have a good concept going. It did seem like they are still a work in progress, but everyone seemed to be enjoying their time. There were a couple of big screen TV's on the wall inside, a separate room with a pool table, and one bathroom. Most people pulled up lawn chairs out in the parking lot and enjoyed their beer in the late afternoon shade. There was also a lively taco stand sharing the same lot, which I didn't try, but there was a constant flux of customers going between the taco stand and Freewheel. Not the most traditional or aesthetic of beer gardens, but it's local so I'll take it.

    Decent beers and a great find in Fremont. Excellent taco truck parked outside. Lots of outdoor seating and decent amount of inside seating. Family friendly and dog friendly.

    Welcome to...

    Freewheel Brewing is somewhat of local craft brew chain. Their original is on an edge of Redwood City and that one is a brewpub, meaning there is a restaurant attached to a microbrewery. Now they have 2 other tap rooms, so no restaurant at those, just beer taps and maybe some cold snacks to munch on. This one in Fremont and another in San Rafael are both just taprooms. The Fremont one is in an industrial/business park so it looks like a storage unit with roll up doors. It took over another brewery Das Brew within the last couple of years. They did rearrange the space and decorated it to their specs. I do like the new look, it's clean and cohesive. I've seen about 8-10 taps being poured, all their own. Not sure how they are trying to be known now, but when I first visited their original location almost a decade ago, their beer model was to come close to English ales. These are more malty and not as heavily hopped/bitter as American craft brews. And this was in a time when Americans were going crazy for IPA types. So a bold move I thought imo. Traditional English ales also aren't as carbonated as American beers and usually served not as cold. I've actually come to respect those traits as I can taste more of the flavors when it isn't so icy cold. I've only tried 3 brews so far and in what I've experienced they are still a lot closer to that English mode of brews than American styles. Amber ($9/4*) Malty and soft, very English in taste and sensabilities. Surprisingly balanced, the more sips I took, the more I noticed it. Noticeable roasty malt notes blurring it with a brown ale. Kolsch (3.5*) This is a light German Ale. Meant for refreshment on warm days, much like a light lager. This was just a standard light beer to me, similar to golden and/or blonde ales. Nothing was wowing me, nor makes me crave it. But it is clean and drinkable. Goes good with the Mexican food from the food stand outside or bring in your own pizza. Guns of Brixton IPA (3.5*) This is a west coast style IPA so supposed to be pretty hoppy and dank. It is indeed hoppy and bitter but much lighter than most other west coast IPAs out there. Again it took about half a glass for me to appreciate this more. Even though not in-your-face boldness, after a glass or 2, you'll know you're drinking an IPA. And love their Clash references to some of their brew names, again very English and makes me feel like I'm in on a joke/secret. Lol Rounding up.

    Service was good. We came on a Tuesday after work so it wasn't too busy. The place is small but there's actually a good amount of seating. They also set up some patio chairs outside. I had the guns of brixton which is a west coast ipa. It was good and tasted a bit lighter on the hops than what you would expect from an IPA. Easy to drink. I tried the hazy IPA.. I wasn't really a fan.. i couldn't put my finger on why.. but I ended going with the double IPA. I really enjoyed this one. Would probably go straight for the DIPA next time lol

    The Vibe Low-key neighborhood brewery with a genuine local following - the kind of place that just feels right any day of the week. Mostly outdoor seating with plenty of space heaters and fire pits to keep things cozy. Gets chilly on cooler days, but tables are usually available. - The Drinks Decent beer selection, hard cider, and non-alcoholic options. Something for everyone without overthinking it. - The Food Situation BYOF (bring your own food) or DoorDash straight to your table - totally encouraged. Pro tip: Pack your own utensils because they don't provide any. Taco truck shows up some days, though service there can be hit or miss. - The Staff Friendly crew that makes the whole experience easy and welcoming.

    JUN 4 2026 Their stout is very good. A new food truck will be showing up tomorrow. The La Humadera food truck was awesome on May 21st and am sure the one coming tomorrow will be just as great. Staff is exceptionally fantastic!!! I am amazed no one is playing pool today. I love seeing the place busy. It is a fun place and the ambiance is great.

    Came by on a Sunday and it was good people and good food. I had a great evening out on the patio area enjoying the sunny day and music. I recommend to come by if you don't know what to do it pretty chill and good vibes!

    Been a while since I've been over here. Location was previously Das Brew but after trying what Freewheel has to offer, I'm thrilled that they're here... and as an added bonus, tacos in the parking lot in the evenings! Speaking of tacos, I ordered food and obviously had to wait... but what's a better way to wait than having a cold beer? Forgot the guys name behind the counter, asian guy, super helpful and patient while allowing me to sample some of the different offerings until I landed on Laika Space Dog! I'm also happy to report that they have non alcoholic beer options (in a can) if you're looking for that. Great atmosphere inside, people drinking and eating tacos outside, seen people shootin pool... this is definitely going to be my go-to beer drinking destination.

    Today was the *soft opening* of Freewheel Brewing (former location of Das Brew) and it was a success! We visited just before 6pm and it was a packed house. They have a limited menu right now but will be expanding once they're fully open. The set-up inside is pretty much the same as the former establishment but the furniture and tv are new. There is also a pool table in the front room. There's currently no food menu but there is a Mexican food truck outside if you want a bite to eat. Not sure yet if they will be bringing food to this location. We're super excited to have a new local brewery and will definitely be visiting often!

    Cheers!!

    Just found this hidden gem. Great vibe and most importantly great drink collection. The service is awesome. I was not sure of which drink to get they were great with their recommendations.

    This brewery has so much potential! All they need is a weekly trivia night or a set food truck schedule. Beer is good, not the best. Free pool table is awesome. People were friendly. Dogs are allowed on the patio. Happy hour all day Monday is $6 pints.

    Do they take reservations?

    This place is a hole in the wall. Maybe the size of a home garage. Maybe 6 tables inside. They have Adirondack chairs in their parking lot.

When planning our wedding, we wanted an outdoor space where we could bring our own food and desserts, but still have drinks for everyone--so Birdhaus made sense. Having the place private for our wedding was great, and they let us transform the space so we could make our setup happen. The drinks were a hit with everyone--the sake slushies, mimosas, and micheladas went down so easy, plus they have a rotating beer tap list. If you want a nice place to chill with friends outside over bomb food and killer drinks, especially on a nice summer day, then this is the spot!

Not only beer, they do have a few drinks for kids They have restroom porter potties out back but there is a single restroom in front inside. A few tables inside as well where you order food. The usual hangout is the outdoor area. Sometimes they have small vendors that sell food but my second time there, there wasn't. We came on a Saturday between 2-6p. My friend was DJing Fun times!! I would love to come back again during the evenings just to see how they look at night but I had only visited them during the afternoons. They don't close late though so when the nights get darker earlier, I will definitely make my way back, invite all my friends and post more pictures.

We came for their Wednesday night Karaoke and Prime Rib night. Except, we got there a wee bit too early to experience Karaoke but we did enjoy our shared prime rib meal! Although we asked for medium rare, it was more medium well. I ate the medium well sections and my friend ate the medium rare-ish parts. But overall, the meal was very good. We loved the fresh roasted veggies and little potato pops! As for Karaoke, we'll have to experience that some other time. After we ate, we played a game of pool. There's much needed improvements... both tables are wonky. We put in our $2 and only 3 balls came out. So, the staff put $2 into the other pool table and a few more came out. We just combined both ball sets to play and tried our best to memorize which balls belongs to whom. Beware that if you scratch, you will never see that white ball again!! We made the most out of our games and still felt joy. However, it does need to be fixed! I can't say enough about the staff. The lady waitress who served and helped us was so wonderful. She came back several times to check on us and even convinced us to order dessert which we did enjoy! Going to try other theme nights, its that fun there!
