    Don Ho
    Audrey L.

    Highly recommend ordering the Don Hon pizza and the Outside Voice pizza. The Outside Voice has tots, bacon, caramelized onions, cheddar, mozzarella, garlic purée, scallion, & chipotle crema. The crema is sooooo creamy and flavorful and paired nicely with the pizza. The Outside Voice is top 5 pizzas I've ever had. The Don Ho pizza has pepperoni, pineapple, red sauce, mozzarella, parmesan, & pickled jalapeno. For beer, I enjoyed the Top O' The Mornin'. Had a smooth, coffee inspired flavor; very reminiscent of a more subtle Guinness. The inside is spacious and there's seating upstairs. Such a cool vibe and perfect for large groups.

    Great atmosphere, live music on the Friday evening I went. My friends and I shared a flight (super aesthetically pleasing), and we were able to find seating pretty easily around 6pm. There was also very easy street parking which was free. After our flight, we ordered a pizza which was delicious paired with our beer, and we ended up getting 2 more beers. My friends and I also bought a pizza from Citizen Pizza Co which was doing a popup to share among three, and it was hitting for some reason!! Such a delicious pizzzaaaa!!!! The brewery also has a "soda machine" that dispensed free water, sparkling water, caffeine, and electrolytes which was really nice especially since we were drinking. Stay hydrated!! I would definitely come back with friends again.

    They have an easy ordering system where you fill out the flight card, pay for it, and get your drinks shortly after. Cute flight set up - lift slowly or risk spilling! Didn't get a chance to try the food outside but it smelled really good. Definitely coming back in the near future.

    Went on trivia night and it was such a good time. Place was packed, which says a lot--the energy and ambiance just speak for themselves. Staff was super helpful walking us through a few tastings till we landed on something we actually liked. Good beer, fun vibe, and definitely a spot I'd come back to, especially with friends

    Service is whatever, not overly friendly or helpful. came here with my boyfriend and his friend. I don't drink beer and they have NO options other than various kinds of beer, or non-alcoholic kombucha. Probably won't be back for that reason. There was live music on a Friday night which I guess is worth mentioning. They also expect you to bus your own table, but ask for tips? The only positive thing in my opinion was the pizza pop up outside but they are a separate business.

    One of my FAVORITE breweries in the Bay Area, especially for Hazy IPAs. Spacious taproom and an outdoor patio that's perfect for relaxing with friends. The beer selection is outstanding, featuring a variety of IPAs, sours, pales, and lagers. Each pint is a revelation, bursting with flavor and crafted with care. Love trying all the different hops they use! Whether you're a beer aficionado or just looking for a great place to unwind, Original Pattern Brewing Company is a must-visit.

    Original Pattern Brewing is a fantastic brewery located near Jack London. The inside of the brewery is spacious with 2 levels of seating, providing plenty of room for guests. However, the upstairs area was quite hot and humid when I came, even with the windows open, as there was steam coming out of one of the fermentation tanks. There was plenty of seating available when my group visited on a Friday evening around 7 pm. They have live music happening every Friday evening, so you can check their website to see who will be performing. There was a live jazz band on the day we came. If you're hungry, you can order pizza from Citizens pizza outside to enjoy with your beer. I had already eaten before coming so I didn't get any food. As someone who isn't a big fan of beer, I decided to split a flight of 6 beers with a friend for $18. The flight came with a cute holder, but you have to walk carefully to avoid spilling, especially when going up the stairs. You write down your orders for the flight and keep the sheet afterwards. It was really nice to have that to reference as we tried the beers, so we knew exactly what we were trying. We got a variety to try. My favorites were The Path to Somewhere (German pilsner) and the Outer Realm (hazy IPA). Overall, Original Pattern Brewing offers a great atmosphere and a wide selection of beers. I would recommend this brewery to anyone looking for a chill night out in the Jack London area.

    From the loft
    Chris J.

    Cool vibes from the loft! I love OP beer but never have made it out to the brewery until now. The beer is crisp as ever. The bartenders are incredibly nice and welcoming. They even have pizza being sold at the front which looked amazing. definitely will be stopping by next time in Oakland.

    Me and my attitude.....

    I found this brewery in 2024 when I came to listen to live music for the evening. I sampled a beer called space balls that was as close to Guinness Stout on tap as you can get and it was outstanding spoiler alert I had three. I also ordered a pepperoni pizza and added extra items and Brussels sprouts. The pizza was so gooey and crispy and good also the sprouts were so blackend and flavorful. I keep also coming back every few months because the staff are amazing, I have a few favorites. Check out their website to see who's playing there and pick up a six pack on the ways home. Great energy and vibe. Interesting crowd....older but chill, business types, hipster, young millennials with a relaxed attitude.

    Nice space and great beer. We shared a flight and loved being able to sample some different things, then take home some cans of our favorite.

    The craft beer scene in and around Oakland has improved in the 18 years I have worked downtown. While there weren't many options within walking distance, opting to drive or BART to the city for good craft. Over the years the scene has improved and Original Pattern is one of those craft breweries that's within walking distance from my employer. OP is located in a brick building on the corner of 4th and Harrison, next to the Posey Tube vent structure. The brewery is open, with multi-floor seating, as well as outside seating around the building. The bar backs up to the brewing floor, where large stainless steel fermenters are visible. The current tap rotation is posted on the wall, as you wait in line, as well as on small clipboards around the bar. OP sells cans and merchandise up front as you walk in. I'll be honest, I was not initially a fan of OP, but it's become one of my go to breweries in the area. The staff are helpful and insightful, as well as friendly, this too goes for those who frequent the establishment. I've sampled over 50 of their beers, sticking mainly to clear beer, lagers, pilsners, IPAs and sours. Been very satisfied with the different styles on taps, the hops used and the diverse flavors brewed. The only negative thing I have to say is having to pay tax on top of an $8 beer or any beer served at OP. Obviously, its not enough to stop me from frequenting the establishment. The other great part of OP, is Citizen Pizza is on site, serving up fresh pies and food. Make for an enjoyable afternoon/evening after work. You can see my review for CP on Yelp as well. Overall, I can't give them anything less than five stars. The location, the beer, the staff, the pizza. Keep up the good work!

    The delightful Bean Me Up! Porter from Original Pattern Brewing.
    Alden C.

    Original Pattern Brewing was a brewery I had on my "to try" list and I am glad that getting an experience with their beer came together recently. The beer we had was Bean Me Up! which was a porter which it was great to have. It has coffee flavor with dry and bitter qualities to it which makes a nice complexity to it and very infectious to drink. Rich and full this porter is perfect to have by a toasty fire as the rain comes down or as the snow flies outside.

    Neither here nor pear gose
    Katie R.

    Awesome brewery boasting fun beers in a cool space! They had a pretty good variety of brews with 14 beers on tap. They hit most styles from light to dark. No sours when we went in, but they did have a gose. They also had some others available in the can, though they were for to-go consumption only. We came here on a Saturday afternoon shortly after opening and the downstairs was pretty packed. Lucky for us, they also had a spacious upstairs area with plenty of seating. They also had a few spots outside, though the inside seating was more comfortable. There's plenty of free street parking near by, most of it in the 2-4 hour range. Don't come this way often, but would come back here for sure. Would love to see them expand to other areas of the Bay too!

Got lucky and parked two blocks away. 10 of their beers on tap; the rest are guest taps. So of course, I had to try their $3 signature Lager - Too light for me, basically you get what you pay for. Next... Pale Ale - $7, now that's more like it! No IPA today, so I had to settle. My daughter got the Yard Bird, Strawberry Lemonade Beer. Suits her. Ready for my 3rd beer, when my daughter said she wanted to go home and party some more?!?! So I abided. Lovely's restaurant is also here on the premises. See pictures and other 5 star Yelp review. Ambiance - Cool space. Lots of semi private spaces that you can rent. See pictures or their website. Very kid and dog friendly! Unisex restrooms with outside sinks, thank you! NO parking! So bad on a Saturday evening that we almost did not come. Open 6 days a week - see picture or their website. Closed on Mondays. Service - Counters service. For both the bar and Lovely's. The outdoor bar has WAY faster service than the inside bar, just an FYI. Price - Affordable, especially for the Bay Area. Just left South Lake Tahoe and paid $9 - $10 + tip a beer there, but you know that because you are following. Owner Comment - Congrats to the building since 1919. Congrats on your success since 2021; glad we were able to visit.

    I've been to Two Pitchers a number of times throughout the years and yesterday I had an interaction…read morewith a staff member that's enough for me to not want to come back. When I went to close out my tab at the bar, the staff member who came over to help me gave me the dirtiest, impatient, pissed-off look that I've ever received in my life. It was as if I had kicked his dog and personally insulted him, his family and his entire generational line. When he gave me the payment device, he must have accidentally navigated away from correct screen because I didn't have any options to close out my tab (i.e. there was no tip screen, or place to request a receipt). I handed the device back to him and before I could point out the issue, he snatched the device away and rushed off. Knowing something was wrong, I waited at the counter for a few minutes for him to return. I raised the billing issue and his curt response was "you must have waited too long and the screen disappeared -- you're fine". I returned to my table knowing that something was off, but left with my friends since they needed to head out to a dinner reservation. After we had said our goodbyes to our friends outside the brewery, I shared the strange interaction I had closing out my tab with my wife, and as a precaution, she recommended that we head back to the brewery to try to close out the tab again, just in case something was overlooked. I thought this was a good idea, but this time, asked my wife to try to close out my tab, as I didn't want to experience the wrath of the impatient staff member again. To absolutely nobody's surprise, the tab was not closed out! This staff member is by far, the rudest individual that I've encountered in the service industry and should reconsider their employment if they hate customer interactions this much. Truly appalled by my experience and won't be coming back anytime soon. If management wants to investigate the issue further, the tab was opened at the outside bar at 8/14/26 4:23 PM, check #35, and was transacted on by three separate staff members: 1) first person who opened the tab was friendly 2) second person who added on the second round of drinks was the same rude individual who didn't correctly close out my tab later in the evening, and 3) the third staff member was the one who finally properly closed out the tab with my wife at 7:11 PM.

I've actually walked past this building before, back when Horn Bbq was next door, but not sure if they were able to open during the same time, as Horn had to move out a few years back. Very industrial vibe here, both outside and inside. For some reason most people were congregated indoors, and nobody was on their patio. The brewery equipment is visible but is blocked off. They do very little inside that warehouse-y space to decorate or give it their stamp. Totally just looks like a warehouse, whereas other breweries with a same type of industrial space like Drake's and Ghost Town have stamped their look and image. I tried a sampler here 4 brews and think they are about $2.50 per 5 oz glass, which is a generous gesture. Of the 4, I really liked 3 of them, and one was kinda weird to me. But good success ratio. I loved their Amber which had a great roasty malt character and hopped in a balanced manner. Tried 2 of their IPAs and one was a winner, that I got a pint of it to go with my pizza from next door. Awesome combo that I would love to revisit, Brix Factory's beer with June's Pizza. Seriously smacks!

The flan also had a sliiiightly overcooked texture, but was overall pretty good, with a well-executed caramel sauce. Portions are also very generous!
