Service was horrible, we sat down and waited for about 10 minutes. two people behind the bar bartenders I guess were talking to customers just chit, chatting, laughing and joking. Nobody came up to us to ask us what we wanted So we waited just a little bit longer and then took off we have a beer testing adventure from the San Bernardino area. Because we have family up here and they suggested that we go to that brewery. So I will make sure that I tell them not to go to this place. Thank you. I can't say anything about the food because we never got a chance to order. When my friend walked in ahead of me, I saw you grab a menu and just put it right back down in front of me. I am a customer service specialist.I train people customer service.Perhaps you should follow the customer. Because we were checking out the facility. Or greet people as soon as they walked in the door I will talk to my group and see if they want to go back because I did hear the beer was very good. read more

I didn't order any food, but I did have a beer that was somewhat mediocre. The person behind the counter seemed a bit distracted at first, but later explained he had forgotten his classes. The service ranged from somewhat brusque to more friendly. The atmosphere was lively, with people playing Magic: The Gathering, which was enjoyable to observe. read more

The person behind the bar was so sweet! They greeted me right away and got to telling me their favorite beers and gave me some suggestions on what they thought I might like. I ended up tasting three different beers but chose the lady barnyard which I thought was great! They make all their beers in house! For those who don't like beer they also have a couple of hot tea options! It's a fairly large place that has ample seating! They also have a little bit of outdoor seating! Will be back to try their canned fish. I was told that they serve them with a side of kettle chips. read more

Their mission of creating and sustaining a thriving craft community really shines the moment you walk in the door. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and genuinely inclusive -- it truly feels like a place where everyone is welcome. Katie and Matt are two of the friendliest brewery owners I've ever met. You can feel their passion for beer, craft culture, and community in the way they interact with guests. They're present, approachable, and clearly love the space they've created. It's inspiring to see people who are actually rooted in the work and the relationships behind it. And of course, meeting Laika was an absolute delight. She's the heart and spirit of the brewery -- a joyful, social ambassador who makes new friends instantly. Her presence adds an unmistakable sense of personality and comfort to the space. It's impossible not to smile when she trots over to say hello. The beer itself is fantastic -- premium quality, thoughtfully crafted, and affordably priced. You can taste the care and creativity in every pour. And having Old Soul Co. right inside the building is the perfect pairing.

Went to Mattie's Grove recently with my boyfriend, who's also a big brewery fan. He's not originally from this area, so it's been fun introducing him to new spots. I had been here years ago, back when it was Big Stump, and I have to say I actually like the vibe here even more now. It's super cozy and inviting, with a really inclusive feel. I loved the little touches, like the coasters people had doodled on and the table with fliers for local events; it makes the space feel connected to the community. We shared a couple of flights, and every beer we tried was good. I even got brave and tried the Oyster Stout, and I ended up loving it! Such a fun surprise. Overall, the lineup had great variety, and it definitely feels like the kind of place you can settle in and hang out for a while. read more

On a long walk down L Street and decided to take a break. The dog friendly sign was the kicker. Looked at the beer menu and with help from folks behind the bar chose a High Tider Oyster Stout and Smash Pub Ale. No that's not a typo, they add 100 pounds of oysters to the brew to add the salty flavor. Don't believe me drop by and ask for yourself. The taste of Smash was light, especially compared to the stout. Both delivered well as the type of beer they were. Mattie's is a nice place with many fine brews. Outside seating is nice on a day like today. read more

Food was delish and the couple pouring were super attentive and made the experience very fun! Will absolutely come back.

Pretty cool spot. Beer selection is interesting. The brewkeeps are pretty dope, friendly and welcoming. Nice esthetics, retro gaming station and chill husky :) I may return to try some of the other beers on tap, especially if I'm feeling particularly adventurous. They did have a stout that was def my speed (10%+, not syrupy and pretty flavorful). I also want to try the food (looked pretty good). Check em out if you are down that way. read more

I enjoyed this place so much. There's plenty of street parking, although you might have to park a couple blocks down but walking is nice! Once you are inside, you are greeted with a calm ambiance with candlelit tables, a cute dog walking around and a warm environment. In addition to long, large tables, there's couch seating and a gaming corner. I love the little fun touches such as a dressed up skeleton near the brewing area. There's wifi at this location and information is posted inside. The bathrooms are located in the back and easy to access, just ask the friendly people up front for the code. Of course after a few beers in we were hungry and ordered pizza. The pizza special was japeleno, pepperoni and hot honey. You can add pineapple on this. I highly recommend this place. I cannot wait to go back. read more

Such an amazing third space on the grid! The owners are friendly and welcoming and often behind the bar. I'm no beer connoisseur, but there is a drink for everyone here - beyond beer, they also serve soda and hot tea. My friends and I love attending trivia on Tuesdays, and they host other events throughout the week and month. They are truly a community space, showcasing local artists' work on the wall and getting to know the regulars' names. Stop by Mattie Groves for a pint (or tinned fish)! read more

Excellent craft beer. And the owners, Laika and Woody are awesome But seriously, you will be taken care of, and they love to get nerdy about how they brew their beers, if you're into that kind of thing. read more

We're such fans of Mattie Groves! Not only is their beer great and affordable, the atmosphere is inviting and friendly! Once usuals at Big Stump, we were so bummed to learned they closed. When we heard Mattie Groves was opening, however, we couldn't be more ecstatic! We popped in twice over the past month and couldn't believe how different the place is! The owners really outdid themselves with the remodel. Talk about glow up! Not to mention they have an adorable resident pupper who hangs around! As for the beer, they definitely have a unique selection that rotates often. I'm just getting into the beer scene (late, I know!) so I'm not too familiar with their offerings. I do know that I tried a beer with elderflower?? That was great! Love this place! read more

Mattie Groves Brewery - Sippin' good! - Breweries Near Me - Sacramento, California

Came in for Sacramento Beer Week festivities on a Thursday after work. The guy behind the bar was friendly and efficient. We started with the beer and pizza pairing and ended with some cookies. The beers were all great. Although I'm not usually one for a brown, I especially enjoyed it here. There's a small patio out front. When you come in, there's a small bar top and some long picnic benches. It's a good spot for groups. I'm sure we'll be back soon. read more

I've been here a few time's now both with my book club and with friends. The new owners are very warm, friendly and passionate about the beers they produce always willing to give you more information or even a sample to help you make your best selection. It's mostly picnic table seating but do have a cozy couch corner you can snag as well. They have a couple games you can borrow which is fun. They will be hosting a monthly singles game night which I'm looking forward to checking out. The resident doggo is a beautiful husky that loves people and if you howl will join you, it's hilarious. I have tried the Marzen and the Farm House Ale and both were delicious. I'm hoping they do add ciders eventually for the gluten free and cider enthusiasts. read more

Mattie Groves Brewery - Chips & Salmon - Breweries Near Me - Sacramento, California

To be totally honest, not a fan. Doggo is sooo cute, but also barks really loud at people and owners kinda just laugh it off. Drink selection really isn't the best either. Bar food available but nothing to accommodate for food allergies. Has a bit of a Viking type vibe which really isn't my cup of tea. Seats have no backing. Didn't really enjoy my time here. Music also sounds like a narnia sound track. It's not terrible. Just not my thing. Great if your looking for just a glass of beer or cider though. read more

Great owners, great beer, great vibe! Love it here...often! We've been frequent customers from the very beginning.

One of my favorite breweries. Comprehensive and varied menu of beers. I quite like the Lady Barnyard sour, but this Porter was fire! read more

Atmosphere is welcoming and they allowed our dog to come inside. We will definitely return. Just a great vibe to the place. read more

Mattie Groves Brewery transformed this space from the last occupants and they did a fantastic job creating a cozy and welcoming vibe! It was a chilly day when we visited but it was nice and quite warm inside, despite sitting near the door. They even have fur pelts draped on the benches, which contributes to the overall coziness. For interior seating, there are several smaller tables as well as longer banquet-style tables, which would be great for larger groups. Since they just opened recently, their beer menu was understandably smaller, but I enjoyed the pours that I had (pale ale and IPA) and they still had a fairly good variety on tap for different preferences. Right now they have full pours and half pours (16oz/12oz and 8oz/6oz depending on the ABV). Would love to see a flight option in the future - I believe they offered samples of anything you wanted, but I prefer flights/taster pours to be able to try more of the menu and at my own pace. It may also be nice to have a large beer menu board of some sort in the future, or multiple copies of the menu available/floating around to help facilitate ordering; there seemed to be a single paper menu at our visit but it had water stains and was difficult to read certain parts. Food-wise, they do not have their own kitchen but you can order food from Old Soul directly at the brewery. The owners were very friendly and knowledgeable, and their dog, who seems like the brewery mascot, was super cute as she roamed around. Dogs are definitely welcomed - there were a number of dogs inside and our friend brought his, as well. Overall, Mattie Groves is a solid new addition to Midtown and to the Sacramento beer scene! They've created a cozy and relaxed space to enjoy beer with friends and I am looking forward to trying more of their upcoming releases as they continue to grow. read more

Great service and good vibes. I love dogs and there's no shortage of furry friends. The beer is also amazing. Love spending time there.

Fantastic beer and super chill. July Lucy Parsons is one of the best West Coast IPAs I've had in a long time. Very welcoming staff.

Owners take great pride in providing good service, outstanding beer and a great atmosphere . In a great location in midtown too

Bread and roses was my favorite. If you like Hazy IPAs then you must try! My husband liked the double IPA too!

This place is amazing!!! I was in Sacramento for a math conference (!), wandered past here my first night, and ended up spending almost all my down time from the conference hanging out here. It's small but not cramped; it's spacious but cozy; it's always the same two bartenders (who I guess own the place?). The beers were delicious. The seating is all long communal tables, with wooden benches draped with fake cow- and sheepskin blankets. My first night I came in during an open mic, which was actually *great*---not just music but also poetry. It felt like I was home in Oakland (in a good way). There's a BEAUTIFUL DOG, a big gorgeous husky, who does security :). This is exactly, exactly, exactly, what I want in a bar (or coffee shop, or place like that) anywhere. read more

I had the Italian Pilsner and it was first class. My wife had the hazy IPA and also enjoyed it.

Hard to talk about this place without starting with the owners. M and K are the nicest people in midtown and they have a number of dedicated locals to show for it. Laika, the bar mascot is a friendly husky who keeps to her self, but loves a good howl with encouragement from the crowd. The beer is always fantastic, and M and K are always bringing new and interesting brews to the tap. A crowd hit is the low ABV, easy drinking "Smashism" that is now making its way to taps around town. Mattie's hosts some great trivia nights, along with some special music events from time to time. Great place for a date, or just a night with friends. Plenty of space to either sprawl out or have your own little spot to chill. M and K play a variety of good music on records, including plenty of Joan Jett. Discerning listeners will notice some great tracks from Bork and things that sound like they are straight off the CS Lewis Narnia soundtrack. 11/10 Lion, Witches and Wardrobes. read more

This is a great little, newer microbrewery in Sacramento on the western edge of Midtown at the point where it's practically downtown. Service is excellent, the owners very friendly and enthusiastic. The place is a fairly small taproom with mostly tables with benches and a tiny bar but they have a few chairs as well. The ambience is relaxed and comfortable, especially later int he evening when it's quieter and they turn off the bright overhead lights. Beer quality based on what we had is excellent overall. The Hound of Culann Irish red ale was outstanding. 5 stars. The Little Mathie Groves porter was very good. 4 stars. The They have a food menu which is not extensive and sounds good, but we did not have any food when we were there. We'd definitely go back the next time we're in town. read more

I came in and it felt more as a locals brewery. I wasn't greeted, I walked straight to the line behind a couple. She did hand us a menu while the couple viewed the menu and chitchatted with the brew tender. She walked away to pour their choice. When it was my turn, she was cheery and greeted me. I ordered lady barnyard, blueberry sour. I didn't taste any fruit. It finished like a blonde. I wasn't impressed. We only stop by to kill time before meeting a friend. Oh, you get the overwhelming smell of pizza verse beer/hops. My rating is swayed based on a bathroom incident. As I walked out, a women in a wheelchair was waiting. I offered to hold the door for her and her response was "yes, I can't open it". I walked away thinking how long was she going to wait? There was no button to auto-open the door. As I was walking towards the front, a brewmaster was hosing down the floor. So that got me thinking about a walk floor. I have my docs but what about other people. read more

This was an incredible stop in Sacremento, with some of the best beer I've had (and so much range), and with such a nice owning family. I'm a sucker for funk and couldn't stay away from the rice braggot with hibiscus, the elderflower saison or the blueberry lavender saison. But the classics were also amazing. Their red was one of my favorite Irish reds ever, a really good Russian imperial stout, and an amazing, not-yet-released and not-yet-named tropical ipa. The service was excellent, and the water station was refreshingy cold. Really cool glassware! The seating was very spacious and welcoming, with board and video games for hanging all day or spending time with the kids. Will be back for the canned fish tasting menu and other food items. Great and safe parking. read more

I've been keeping my eye on this spot since Big Stump left and was excited when I heard a new brewery would be coming in. Poking around on Instagram one day I saw a post indicating Mattie Groves had opened so I came down as soon as Friday came. First thing you notice is the space looks great. The building itself is already a cool open old building but the new owners added a lot of nice accent lighting and really nailed the right mood...lighting can make a huge difference. Next thing is the beer, there is a lot of beer out there, and a lot of good beer in Sacramento..but I have to honestly say I haven't been this happy with a beer in a good long time. The flavors are so balanced with their individual notes coming through perfectly. Next is the people, we spoke with one of the owners to welcome them to the neighborhood and share our delight and they were so incredibly down to earth and kind. There's a good vibe in this space and I wish them the utmost success in midtown and will absolutely be back! Also: dogs. read more
