If you have never been to Winters, you are missing a hidden gem of amazing restaurants and Hooby's brewing! Huge location with tons of outdoor seating really lovely, indoor ambience, friendly staff . And lots of interesting food options to pair with your beers . I had an hour to burn while I waited for some friends to get into town so I stopped to have a beer when I came inside I saw that they had a special stout. It was incredibly strong and it definitely got me worked up for the rest of the day . I also had a pretzel with some beer cheese sauce, which was really nice . I sat on the street bar parking and enjoyed watching the people walk by and a lovely day . I highly recommend this place to stop in and try all their different beers read more

Looks like a great spot for nightlife but not the best lunch spot. There was tons of seating outside and a small indoor dining section. It was too chilly outside for us, but i wish we would have dealt with it to avoid battling the flies inside. The food was just ok. We waited a long time for lukewarm burgers and cold sides. The grease flavor was strong. The beer was alright, but the root beer on tap was kind of flat and only slightly chilled. They do offer board games, but too bad the first couple we grabbed had missing pieces so we kept having to exchange our choices. Still, it was nice to play a game given how long we waited for food. One final note was that this place does not have table service yet they charge like a quality, full service restaurant. Not worth the price point. read more

Was camping near Lake Berryessa and the store owner there suggested stopping by Winters for dinner because we didn't want to cook. It's a cute town by Main St. we wanted some burgers and local beer and Hooby had both. It's a casual spot with indoor and outdoor seating. We tried 6 drafts and enjoyed their smash burgers! The fries, onion rings and fried pickles were great too. They had a couple games playing on the TVs inside, had they have board games available too. We played taboo. There was some live music in the patio seating. It was pay at the counter, I closed out the tab and paid for everything at the counter. Great service, delicious burgers and good beer. Good way to wind down after being out in the sun all day. read more

My my my where do I start .... ;) Hooby's is a badass little Brewpub in downtown Winters California with damn good beers, a groovy indoor and outdoor environment for live music and events, friendly fun staff and excellent food. I have been here a number of times and am so very glad we have this fine establishment in our town. There was a paint & sip fund raiser event held here a month or two ago so I got to have a yummy burger and a hazy beer while I painted a fun water tower scene. Next time I came was Winters Harvest Festival -- there was a great BAND playing in a drizzle outside and they quickly moved them indoors to their cornhole area so we all got to keep rockin into the darkness. I had a nice dark beer and their pulled pork sliders WOW - just a tasty meal of the purrfect combo of pulled pork, slaw, bbq sauce and dill pickles.... ;) The next time was the walk run event on a Sunday morn and we had their damn delicious large breakfast burrito with eggs cheese sausage beans and totts -- your mouth will water with that combo. Turns out they do a fantastic Sunday brunch menu and even today there is a live band playing -- yayy so fun!! Get your butts down here to our Winters gold mine: HOOBY'S My hat is off to these owners and their staff for their fine offerings!! read more

We enjoyed going to hooby's for little snacks but we decided to try the breakfast. The waffle sliders were pretty good but the chilaquiles were definitely a disappointment. It's just chips with the garnishing on the side, for $15 I definitely wouldn't order that again . I love the vibe and the ambiance but definitely feeling a hit or miss with dishes. We had the bacon which is a $1 a piece, not bad but the tater tots were greasy and close to being burnt. It wasn't the best. read more

We were just passing through looking for something decent to eat with low expectations and this far exceeded those low expectations. The menu is simple basic to the point. I ordered the Korean barbecue fried sandwich and let's just say folks you could stop there. It's a total Mic drop. Only a little bit of heat, good sauce. I just wish the onion rings were a little bit hotter. Don't miss the tater tots. The double IPA is very tasty with the sandwich as well. Love the music and the service is on point. read more

Friendly service, nice environment, lots of beer choices. We were here for Father's Day, Had the burger and beer special, fries and deviled eggs. The deviled eggs were good, they added bacon and potato chips which gave it a nice dimension in texture. The burgers were okay, but the buns were cold (like it just came from the ref) and hard. I did mention it to the wait staff, and they did offer to replace it, but I declined. I'd give this place another chance, I hope they correct the bun issue. read more

Hooby's Brewing is Family & Dog Friendly Brewery, with indoor and outdoor seating. The customer service is great, the food is delicious and the beer on tap (blond, IPA, Stout etc...)is really good. I appreciate the restaurant having a kid's menu with three choices. My kiddo really liked that and enjoyed the grilled cheese with fries. I liked how there was a water station as well. My family and I also enjoyed the games that were available to take back to our table. We will definitely return with pups, next time we are in Winters. read more

It's beer tasting time at Hooby's Brewing! The line up includes the Water Tower Kolsch, the Wrong Way Pilsner, the Tread Lightly Blonde Ale, and This Damn Hazy! The kolsch was light, crisp, and very refreshing. After a hot drive from Sacramento, it lasted about 30 seconds. The Pilsner was also light, smooth, and a little of a hoppy finish. The blond was cute and had a nice smile. Oops! I got a little off track there. The blond had a beautiful golden color, a great scent, and had a nice body (Yes, I'm talking about the beer here.). The hazy was slightly cloudy, had a little more of a bite, and citrusy flavor. Not to mention the clever creative name of the hazy. I also ordered two bratwursts in pretzel buns, which came with a bag of chips. The brats were juicy, delicious, and came with a sharp Dijon mustard. For $7.50 it was a great deal and a good way to soak up some of that beer. The staff was very laid back and easy to chat with. They even announced last call for happy hour which is rare. That kind of extra effort appeals to cheapos like me! read more

History

Established in 2019.

Grand Opening February 16, 2019!

Meet the Business Owner: Stocking’s S.

What began as an ongoing joke, has now become reality! For the past few years, the Stocking family always said they were going to open a brewery. Opening day was also to be on April 1st (– in all fairness, we never clarified of what year). As time went on, more and more friends were starting to get excited about the idea and kept asking us when we were really going to open the brewery we had always talked about – to which we would just laugh and say April 1st. The constant questioning created more and more of a desire to stop procrastinating and make it a reality, so that’s what we did. Today, you can find us brewing our own beer out at our Highway 128 location just a few miles outside of Winters. Stop by our tasting room to try our delicious beers and great food. We’re located within the Winters city limits at 9 E Main Street, Suite J (just a few doors down from Steady Eddy’s Coffee House).

The way they take time to think about every single ingredient going into a cocktail or their food offerings.

My favorite signature cocktail is the mango jalapeño which they thankfully sell in 4 packs and they taste just as good as if they were made fresh. I'm not scared to try drinks made with liquor that I normally wouldn't drink as they are so scientific about the ingredients going into the cocktail that it flows so nicely!

Located in the historic downtown area of Winters, the tasting room blends naturally into the town's relaxed atmosphere while still presenting a polished and professional environment. The space itself is inviting and well-designed, creating a comfortable setting where visitors can slow down, learn about the distillation process, and enjoy the spirits being produced on-site. The moment I walked in, the team welcomed guests warmly and immediately created an environment that felt both educational and social rather than transactional. One of the strengths of Patio29 is the way the staff approach the tasting experience. Rather than simply serving samples, they take time to explain the philosophy behind their distillation methods, ingredient selection, and the development of their spirits. That level of engagement elevates the experience because you begin to appreciate the craftsmanship and intentionality behind each bottle. The conversation naturally flows from the history of the distillery to the production techniques they use, which helps visitors understand how small-batch distillation differs from large commercial operations. The spirits themselves demonstrate strong balance and technical precision. Their vodka stands out for its clean structure and smooth finish, making it enjoyable both neat and as a cocktail base. The gin offers a well-structured botanical profile with bright aromatics and a controlled level of juniper that allows other botanical elements to come forward without overpowering the palate. The cocktail program also deserves recognition because the bartenders clearly understand how to highlight the character of each spirit. Instead of masking the base spirit, the cocktails are constructed to complement and elevate the flavor profile, which is a strong indicator of thoughtful beverage craftsmanship. Another aspect that enhances the experience is the atmosphere. Patio29 manages to create a relaxed social setting that encourages conversation and exploration. It feels like a place where locals gather as much as visitors discovering the town for the first time. The tasting room maintains a balance between professionalism and approachability, making it easy for both experienced spirit enthusiasts and casual visitors to feel comfortable. Overall, Patio29 Spirits Co. delivers a refined yet welcoming craft distillery experience that reflects both technical skill and community-oriented hospitality. The combination of well-executed spirits, knowledgeable staff, and a comfortable environment makes it a destination worth visiting if you are exploring the craft beverage scene in Northern California.

IYKYK But then, if…read moreyou do know, how do you know? Like, seriously, for anyone who's been here, how did you find out about Ruhstaller Farm? 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

Berryessa is a family-friendly beer garden that just happens to be having an identity crisis as a…read morewinery. It's a logistical masterpiece: a brewery and winery on one property, ample parking, a food truck, covered seating, and live music to drown out the chorus of "Are we leaving yet?" I opted for their wine tasting, which I can only describe as a "DIY Guessing Game." A cashier, doubling as a silent sommelier, poured a series of mystery liquids into my glass with the solemnity of a secret agent passing a coded message. What were the notes? The varietal? The tragic backstory of the grapes? The world may never know, as tasting notes were apparently classified information. The tasting is free if you buy a bottle, which is a brilliant strategy. By the end, you're so desperate for a label with information on it, you'll happily pay. It's the perfect spot to bring the family, enjoy the scene, and have a glass of... well, something red. Just don't ask what it is. It ruins the surprise.

Additionally, this place is perfect for both large groups because there is plenty of seating outside. I got their wine tasting, which I highly recommend! Not only were the pours were of good size, the wine tasting fee is waived if you purchase a bottle. The difference between purchasing a bottle and the wine flight is less than ten dollars, so it is definitely worth it! Tips for visiting: There is plenty of parking, so don't concerned about that. The food options are pretty limited because they have one food truck, which I believe alternates. We got gyros, which were okay. If you have little ones, I might bring something else for them because the options are limited for them.

A lifetime ago, I grew up in Vacaville. I was more than familiar with the bland banality &…read morecomfortable boredom of the town. Which was why when craft beer boomed everywhere else, I wasn't at all surprised that it was largely absent from Vacaville. & that is also why Solano Brewing Company was such a pleasant discovery for me. On a visit back to the area, a friend I used to homebrew with for years introduced me to an actual craft brewery with, technically, a Vacaville address. While it's a good distance outside of town, it's still close enough to be someplace to go around Vacaville that's more interesting than the town's repetitive corporate chain dining & big box retail. It's a great spot to grab some quality brews. There's plenty of parking. There's inviting spaces, both indoor & outdoor, for sitting & relaxing a while. The outdoor area is quite expansive. The service has been friendly & welcoming. & yeah, I like the beers. For me, Solano Brewing Company is 1 of the better breweries in the Vacaville/ Dixon/ Davis region. So if you're in, around, or near Vacaville looking for a day/ night out to chill & maybe have a beer, consider Solano Brewing Company as an alternative to the ho-hum humdrum predictable complacency of the town's many name recognition chain brands. Whenever I'm back around these parts, I'll likely be back

Late bloomer here in regard to going to Solano Brewing Company (SBC). I know it's been open for…read moremore than a few years now, but I just started going to it this past January. I now have so much fun there, I have begun to go at least once a week. First off, the staff is wonderful. I don't know everyone's names, but they are always happy and helpful. Any questions regarding any of the beers or anything else for that matter are promptly answered. If its beer related and you just aren't sure, they happily offer a taster. I find almost all the beers delightful. There's been a few duds, but I like that they are always trying new things. The menu has some consistent favorites, but you'll see new items fairly consistently. I especially enjoy "Hazy on the 80" and the "Scottie Rippen". Inside seating is somewhat limited but it's cozy and there are seats at the bar as well. Outside seating is plentiful and awesome on a beautiful day. Plenty of covered areas as well for the not so pleasant days. Kids and pets are very welcome. There's a playground and grassy area. It's also spacious enough if you just want to be around other adults and not be bothered by all that type of hoopla. There is a rotating carousel of food trucks and live music. Best to check their website calendar to see who is there and when. Plenty of great trucks and wonderful bands from what I've seen thus far. There are also themed events ranging from cornhole tournaments to music bingo. So don't be like me and sit around for years before going. Get off your culo and meet the gang out there. You'll be sure to have a great time!
