Tucked into an industrial park in north Concord, Epidemic Ales is exactly the kind of unpretentious…read moreneighborhood brewery you want in your rotation. The vibe is casual and family-friendly, with a great mix of indoor and outdoor seating. TVs are scattered around for catching a game, and if you're in the mood to do more than just drink, they've got a couple of pinball machines, a free-play Street Fighter II cabinet, and a billiards table. It's a fun, low-key setup whether you're there for a quick pint or settling in for the afternoon. Service has been good every time with friendly staff. The beer selection is where they really shine. Core beers like Nightshade and Zombrew anchor the lineup, backed up by a solid rotation of seasonals, sours, etc., so there's always something new to try alongside old favorites. They've also got premade cocktail options for anyone not in a beer mood. If you want to take some home, they do growler and crowler fills, plus they keep cans on hand and ready to go. On the food side, they've got snacks in-house, plus a rotating food truck that changes day to day -- check their website before heading over so you know what's parked outside. And if none of that appeals, you're welcome to bring your own food in. Prices are a good value across the board. If you're around on a Thursday, they run trivia night with Geeks Who Drink, a solid excuse to make it a regular stop rather than a one-off. Overall, this is a great spot for a local craft beer and some laid-back hangout time. I'd recommend it to anyone -- beer geeks who want to dig into the seasonal lineup, or anyone who just wants a chill, family-friendly spot to grab a pint and catch a game.

We arrived right at 3pm when HH starts and were greeted immediately by the host who told us we could sit anywhere at the bar , once we sat we were greeted by Julez who was such a great help and let us try a few beers until we found one we really liked. The food came out and it was great , we tried the pizza, the ahi tuna nachos, and the wings . Everything was great. Good sports bar with a ton of TV's definitely recommend to sit at the bar for HH

I hate to write a negative review. I didn't even get a chance to eat…read more My partner and I went here at 4:30ish pm on Sunday for a nice early dinner. A rush of people had left the restaurant at the same time because a sports game ended. The time to get seated was incredibly short, taking less than 5 minutes for us two. Once seated the hostess did not offer us anything, instead saying someone else would come help us and she hurried off. We sat for over twenty minutes without a single server speaking to us. In that time we had four separate parties of 1-4 all be seated around us. They all were given drinks either by hosts or servers. Two of them had orders taken. We were not asked how we were. Even after activating the "need waiter" mode on the tablet every single server ignored us. I know mistakes happen, a rush had ended and we may have been lost in the shuffle. Every server who looked at us and the tablet could have checked in. It was clearly bright and alerting. The restaurant wasn't incredibly busy, as our section was mostly empty when we entered. As we were getting up one of the servers looked at both of us, the alerting tablet on the table, and then towards the table next to us and asked if they needed help. I have to mention that all the people who were served before us were white. Most of their servers were. The hostess who sat us down also was. We are an interracial couple. I am very visibly middle eastern. It felt incredibly targeted. We would tip as much as any other party. We wouldn't treat the staff poorly. All we did was have a brown guy at the table. When we went to hand our menus and unused utensils back to the hosts the only host who showed any concern and attempted to help wasn't white. She offered to get us reseated and immediately helped. Considering the racist treatment towards us by the other staff we declined. We left promptly. I would love for someone from the management team to reach out and look at any footage of the incident to clarify what might've happened. Our reservation at check in was under my partners name and placed at 4:34pm.

They made a gift card donation to California Bully Rescue that I had reached out to them as a request for an auction. Most establishments ignored my outreach and I was really grateful for their contribution and acknowledgement. We will definitely be back.

This seemed like a spot where parents take their kids and don't attend to them very well. But I can't blame the establishment for that, I was more annoyed at my date for picking this spot. That and well he didn't ask if I drank beer, which I don't! That and they don't serve any food here outside of the food truck. So as a date spot, I do not recommend.

As someone that used to work in the same shopping center as Eureka, I always noticed how big of a…read morecrowd they attract! This past weekend I got a chance to try it with my boyfriend, who's already had it once before. We decided to go in around 8pm on a Saturday. We attempted to call beforehand to check in with how busy the restaurant was as we were both starving and wanted food asap! We weren't able to get past their automated answer choices, so we decided to take a risk and go in. Upon arrival, it was a joy to see that there was not many people eating as well as no waitlist to be seated. We got seated immediately by what seems to be the restaurant manager. He was nice and made us feel welcome. Our server for the night whom I forgot the name of, was sweet and responsive to our needs as well! We were pleasantly surprised by how empty the restaurant was. We both ordered burgers, which my bf had recommended to me based on the one other time he came. Our food came out so quickly, I would say just around 10 minutes! I got their "Eureka! American" with cheddar cheese rather than swiss. Oh my gosh, it was one of the best burgers I've had! It was perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. My bf got the Bacon Jalapeño Jam Burger which he liked, but said the bread was almost too sweet for his liking. It's also worth noting that their bathrooms were super clean and taken care of, which is usually not the case at these type of restaurants. I can't wait to come back and try their truffle fries next! I definitely wish I tried them that night but it just gives me an excuse to come back!

We originally discovered Hop Grenade when we moved to the neighborhood. As craft beer lovers,…read morefinding a spot within walking distance felt like hitting the jackpot. What started as a convenient local hangout has become one of our favorite places over the last three years. Hop Grenade has truly become a second home. The staff are always welcoming, friendly, and genuinely care about their customers. We love seeing familiar faces and catching up with the regulars. It has such a great community feel that can be hard to find these days. The beer selection is hands down one of the best around, and the prices are hard to beat. I also love that they've expanded their offerings to include wine and wine-based cocktails, which means there's something for everyone. The food is great too! We always look forward to Wing Wednesday, and the flatbreads are one of our go-to orders. One of our favorite things about Hop Grenade is bringing friends and family here when they're visiting from out of town. We recently took some wedding guests to the Thursday night music and market event, and they absolutely loved it. One of them even joked that he was ready to move here after experiencing the atmosphere. That's the kind of place Hop Grenade is...it makes people feel welcome and part of the community right away. Because Hop Grenade has been such a big part of our lives, booking the Tap Bus for our wedding was a no-brainer. It felt special to incorporate something so personal to us into our big day. For those who don't know, Hop Grenade has an awesome vintage VW bus outfitted with taps. Not only did it make for a unique and fun focal point at our wedding, but it also served some of the best beer, cider, seltzer, and wine our guests could ask for. We received so many compliments throughout the night about both the Tap Bus and the drink selection. Justin and his team were fantastic to work with from start to finish and helped make our wedding even more memorable. Whether you're stopping by for a drink, grabbing some food, attending one of their community events, or looking for a unique beverage service for an event, Hop Grenade delivers every time. We're lucky to have them in our community and can't recommend them enough.
