Pacific PourHouse offers a wide variety of beers and other drinks in a self-serve setup where you pay by the ounce. But the real secret of this nondescript restaurant and bar is its menu of authentic Indian food. We ordered a variety of items including Egg Bhurji, scrambled eggs cooked with onions, chilies, and spices; as well as a traffic light array of curries: the deep red Butter Chicken, made of boneless chicken in a creamy tomato sauce; the yellow Lamb Korma, made of boneless lamb chunks in a creamy yogurt curry made with ground nuts; and the green Palak Paneer, a pureed spinach curry with chunks of paneer. Finally, the Hyderabad Goat Curry was made of bone-in goat cubes in a dark brown curry made of onion, tomato, ginger, and garlic. All of the curries went nicely with the Tandoori Naan and Onion Kulcha, freshly-made flatbreads that were highlights in and of themselves! Overall, the flavors here were on point--my favorite items were the Palak Paneer, the Lamb Korma, and the Tandoori Naan, but everything was delicious and came at a good value. read more

Ambiance: the decor and overall vibe is kinda sad. The place does not look inviting at all. From the outside you would totally miss it, nothing grabbing the attention. And if you still manage to walk in, it's just meh. You are welcomed by this sad looking bar (if you can call it that, some people have home bars that look more enticing). There was only one table occupied and the layout, walls covered with TVs is all a sad scene. With buffalo wild wings right nearby, people interested in watching sports would probably just go there. The owners need to narrow down on what this place is trying to be. Food: we ordered chilli paneer and peanut masala- both were really good. We also got tangerine wheat beer which was good too. The pourhouse setup is easy to use- you get a bracelet and can get whichever beer you want using it. Decent selection. read more

Alright ladies and gentlemen, this place claims to have the best indian food in Union City. And I'll be damned because it definitely is. I was very critical and did not expect much because I like the original pour house menu but damnnn the food is so flavorful here. We ordered the garlic shrimp (asked for spicy), andhara chicken, and fish 65. I ordered the fish 65 after I licked the plate with the first two dishes. The chef in the back knows what up. Every dish was spot on and full of flavor. The owner and staff are also very nice. They had all the TVs on and current hindi songs were playing it was a very nice vibe for an early Friday dinner. I was in a food comma by the time I was done. There were no left overs. Let me talk about each dish now: Garlic shrimp: great flavored shrimp Over a bed of veggies with chillies. Was my favorite dish. The chicken with gravy was also good. Fish 65 with the green chutney: soooo crispy on the outside and soft in the inside. I gobbled all the pieces and dipped them in the green chutney sauce which was equally flavorful. I appreciated the lemon and fresh onion garnishment that balanced the dish. I was trying to avoid oily food but I had to try this dish since the other two dishes were spot on with flavor. You could not see any extra oils on the food. All in all 10/10 for all 3 dishes and I strongly recommend this place if you are craving indian food in Union City. They serve liquor and have the same beer taps as before. They dont have dessert but have no fear Krispy Kreme is close by. Walk there for fresh donuts for a sweet warm fluffy dessert. I had a great Friday dinner experience. Props to the chef and owner for opening a delicious new indian food spot. My only advice would be to add more indo/fusion snacks to enjoy with drinks. Chowmein, chicken sliders, garlic/masala fries-some OG items. read more

It was my first time to eat here because my high school bestie recommended it. We came on a Tuesday for a late lunch early dinner. I usually don't care for Indian food, but she convinced me to try it out. And I'm sure glad she did! I have to admit it was the best Indian food I ever had! I definitely recommend this place! You should come and see for yourself! Compliments to the chef! Thank you for an amazing experience! read more

The review is just for the beers on tap. Came on Friday and it wasn't busy at all so finding a seat and pouring our drinks didn't take time. With supposedly 24 beers on tap... 15 of them were out of order only 9 types of beer were available. Of the ones that were there it was an ok selection. We opted for the Mai Tai from Alvarado St. Brewing co. And at first pour a lot of head came out.. when it finally settled there were little things floating in it... We were able to get a new pour (from a different tap, and beer) with no extra charge. The space is nice and spacious and would seem like a cool place to hang out after work. Maybe we came at a bad time but you'd think more selections would be available Friday night read more

This review is for a pickup order, and only covers the food. Chicken tikka masala: Good portion for the price, and comes with jeera rice. Unfortunately, it was filled with some of the driest chicken I've ever tasted. It was honestly inedible, and I started having to separate out the chicken so I could dispose of it. This was made even worse by the fact that the tikka masala sauce was also not very good. It was strangely bland and a little bit sweet. This is a definite skip. Garlic naan: Good portion for the price, but also bland. Chicken biryani: They used battered chicken, which was an odd choice. The flavor was fine, but still lacked a flavorful punch. All in all, we're sadly unlikely to return, especially with better Indian spots nearby. read more

Perfect spot to pay as you go for beer. When we went, quite a handful of the taps were sold out (my only reason for dropping down to 4 stars). Otherwise, the service was great and the place was super chill. Decent selection of craft beer from the area and across the country. Would def come back again! read more

Pacific PourHouse - garlic fries and sweet potato fries - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Union City, California

Horrible place. Horrible service. Overpriced. Terrible food. Do yourself a favor and do not go here, seriously. Our friends came here for dinner as a second choice, after a nearby restaurant was too busy to accommodate our party. We waited 30 minutes to be helped after seating, 40 minutes for our food to come out. At this point we're all hungry. Waters were not refilled. I specifically ordered the garlic noodle dish which literally tasted like Alfredo sauce over pasta. When I flagged an employee down to ask, they told me they make their sauce "in house" and I told them this is literally Alfredo sauce. How is this garlic noodles? I was upset and told them to remove the garlic noodles off the bill and to take the plate from me. We still ended up paying $200 for this meal, sadly and went home disappointed. Horrible choice! read more

Came here on a week day during the evening and it was empty (which is fine/makes sense). My friend and I came only for the beers. It's a self serve type of concept. You'll get a wristband and you can go up to one of the beer stalls, tap your wristband, then pour as much beer as you like. A lot of the beers were out of service. I got a sour beer and it was fine. Then you pay for how much beer you got at the end and return the wristband. It was clean inside and there's a ton of parking outside! read more

A nice and clean and tidy spot. My server was very polite and kind. Now my food left a bit to be desired. My garlic noodles, the pasta itself lacked flavor. To be honest, at one point while eating, i had forgotten that I ordered garlic noodles. The lack of garlic and garlic flavor was wild. But I will say, my 4 shrimp inside the dish were cooked perfectly and tasted good. read more

Pacific PourHouse - Garlic Noodle with Shrimp and Crab Meat - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Union City, California

Was able to get close parking on a Sunday for lunch around 2:30. Was seated right away. Ordered within 5 minutes of sitting down. Disappointed they weren't able to alter some customizations with stuff on the menu. Ordered the pan seared salmon with the crab and shrimp pasta. Waiting as long as we did for our meals, I appreciate the places that have complimentary breads or small bites to enjoy while waiting. I asked for no mushrooms on my pasta but they served it with pasta so I picked it out and gave it to my mom. Disappointed in that but have to admit it was delicious otherwise. Disappointed with service after leaving due to miscommunication regarding check. The pasta was expensive as well as the salmon plate compared to nearby restaurants. read more

I usually go my suggestions from other people who have dined at restaurants I'm thinking of trying. This one was a fluke as I was in another state visiting friends and was in the area and hungry. It wasn't worth taking pictures of the meals Service ok. Our server was new We were the only people in the restaurant and our food took over 45 min to come Hangover Burger - frozen Pattie, no flavor, fries that came with them cold Pesto pasta - Pasta overcooked chicken rubbery Fish and chips- warm when it came out, hard piece in middle, grease old. Fries cold Seabass with broccoli and saffron rice. Frozen fish, broccoli dry and cold read more

They changed their whole menu, and everything I tried so far was delicious: Onion pakora: 8.8/10. Crispy and seasoned well. A very nice appetizer Butter chicken: 9.4/10. One of the best butter chicken I've ever had. Rich and very flavorful Ghee roast chicken: 9.7/10. My favorite item on the menu so far. I'd eat it everyday. Butter naan: 9.5/10. Best naan I've ever had. Second favorite item on the menu so far. Garlic naan: 9.4/10. I prefer the butter naan, but this one was really good too! read more

It's been a few years since we ate at Pacific Pour House. Since then, they must have changed ownership because gone are the bracelets for self-pouring beer and their large eclectic menu is now all Indian food. We were there with our group of 6 for about 2 hours on a Friday night and they didn't get busy at all. We stared with the Gobi Manchurian and Chicken Chilli. Both solid appetizers. Medium spicy is not for the faint of heart. For our main entrees we got the butter chicken, goat biryani, garlic shrimp, paneer tikka masala and lots of garlic naan. I think I ate 5 pieces of naan by myself. Their naan is delicious. I also really loved the butter chicken but the goat biryani had too many small bone fragments to be enjoyable. I would recommend that they don't chop up the goat to smithereens. Customer Service was friendly and you could tell they really aimed to please. Since I am not the biggest Indian food fan, this will probably meet my Indian food quota for the year. read more

2 stars because the vibe here is just off and food took an extra long time to come out Waitress even apologized for the wait By 8:30 pm the kitchen closes and the beer wall shuts down By 9pm they turn the TVs and start closing the blinds It was a Sunday nite during Memorial Day weekend Like GEESUS what's up with the curfew I ordered the garlic noodles with shrimp n crab meat Food was OK could have been seasoned a bit better Garlic noodles are $17 and for shrimp and crab meat $7 extra $24 total Friend ordered the New Orleans salmon He chose mashed potatoes and a Cesar salad as his sides He said the mashed potatoes were out of a box and the Cesar salad was ok He did enjoy the salmon $29 He got one beer $6 I got an Long Island Ice Tea $14 Drink was not good at all but I took one for the team and didn't return it Check in on Yelp and get 10% off Venue is clean and well organized There is indoor and outdoor seating available Customer service is friendly Hours are rather off putting for this type of business No one stops drinking beer by 8:30 pm And not to mention is the start of summer and play off games NBA read more

I went with my close group of friends last night! Was completely blown away with the service and food was finger licking delicious. Each appetizer from chili paneer, onion pakora was exceptionally crispy and not oily full of flavor, gobi Manchurian was perfectly spiced and crispy, saucy, Garlic Shrimp was succulent and packed with flavor. Main course was equally mind blowing. I was not have any alcohol but ordered a non alcoholic margarita and it was very tasty and refreshing. At the end of night we left with no room in our tummy and nothing leftover to go... clean plates. I highly recommend this place if you want to try beer and cocktails along with amazing food. read more

Great food. Ordered fish 65 and ghee roast lamb along with peanut masala. Taste so good. Medium spicy comes with good Indian spices. They also serve verity of other biryanis and appetizers. This is my fourth visit after they changed their menu couple of months ago. Tandoori chicken is too good read more

Probably a 3.5. Ordered the hangover burger with garlic fries, the garlic noodle with shrimp/crab, and the veggie slider trio. The hangover burger bun was really good, but the patty was overcooked and they did not ask me how I wanted it cooked. The garlic fries were very yummy, with big chunks of garlic. The garlic noodles however lacked any flavor of garlic, and did not have enough sauce or flavor. Service was very friendly and pretty quick. We also ordered beer from the wide selection and enjoyed their variety. read more

They have new management with new menu and it's Indian cuisine. I love this place for the variety of beer and it's always before we visit the movie theater. The food was fresh and made well. Ambiance is decent, beer, game to watch, some good appetizers is all that I want. It's a good place to watch a game and good food with a bunch of friends. read more

I stopped by the PPH just before a movie for some lunch. It wasn't very crowded on a Saturday (2 p.m.). We were seated immediately. The restaurant is nice. Fairly modern decor and a small bar. Plenty of seating. Great for a group. They have three TVs. This might be a good spot to watch sports. They do specialize in draft beer. They have an entire wall full of self-serve taps. Each tap is different, and there are roughly 20. I'm not sure of the price or how it works. I assume it's all you can drink. The gentleman who greeted us wanted to give us wristbands. A lot of the beers did sound tasty. We just didn't have time for that. It would have been nice had they had a bottled beer or two just in case you can't drink the draft. They do have what seemed to be a full bar. We ordered:  Hangover Burger--it was good. The burger was cooked well. Nice sunny side up egg, some mushrooms, cheese, and bacon. I wanted to add the Bison Patty, but it was an upcharge, and the burger was quoted at $30.00 by our waitress. Shrimp Creamy Pesto Pasta with Shrimp--this was tasty. The pasta was cooked well. There was plenty of sauce, and the sauce had flavor. All in all, it was a good dish.  This place is a nice spot to grab a bite, but IMO it was a bit pricey. This is why I'm not 4-5 staring the restaurant. Granted, the food is good and the service by our waitress was excellent, but quoting me $30.00 for a burger seems like a lot. The regular hangover burger without the Bison Patty was 20.95, but they wanted to charge me 30.00 to add it to mine when the Bison Burger on the menu was only 25.00. It didn't make sense, so I declined.  It's pricey but good, so I would definitely go back, especially to try the beer and add more stars! read more

Very nice cute place! We came here on a Tuesday for lunch. I can imagine this place can get crowded later on the day or evening. They have a whole wall filled of beer tap. Customers just need to tap the screen of beer choice with the wristband to dispense beer. Computer would keep track of how much you dispense and that's how they track it. For food we got the fish n chips, 3 big pieces with yummy fries. read more

I never ask for any free or discount food, I can even pay premium if your service is good or food is fine. Do you want to face to face talk to me in person? Your employee accuses me that I want a FREE or DISCOUNTED food? Don't be sorry to me, I feel so sorry for you to have this kind of employee. Your staff was taking my order and there was no other table needed to be served. I did not finish the order yet, your staff just cut my order and took the call. Is that okay for you? Let the phone call order cut your onsite order. Your staff told you that I want a free or discounted foods? That's the FALSE ACCUSATION. It seems like you're the owner, so you can treat the client whatever you want to do? Even I use Chinese to write the review becomes one of your means of ridicule. I'm opened for talking to you and your employee in person. read more

I came in with my parents to grab an early dinner. The service was pretty friendly, but the garlic noodles I ordered was an absolute fail. I guess I didn't get the same garlic noodles as everyone else has been raving about. The noodles were kind of warm, but the shrimp/crab were hot on top. The flavor was like the sauce was made without any seasoning and definitely didn't have any garlic flavor. It was just cooked cream. I asked for salt and pepper and I was given shakers with a warning that "they're a little sticky." So in my head they're dirty, but no one cares to clean them? I asked for Parmesan cheese and I was given shreds. Looked like they came straight out of the Kraft bag. And might I the food was not hot enough to even begin to melt them down. When the waitress came to check on us, I told her about my food. She offered to take it back. I accepted, but I didn't order anything else. I didn't care to try anything more, especially because my parents said their burger was dry. The one good thing about the meal was the fries that came with the burger. read more

Ordered a chicken & goat dish. Both prepared in lots of cream, no flavor, sweet, semi-cooked meat pieces. Very disappointing take-out. Couples weeks prior, ordered Andra Chicken and Hyderabadi goat ... very flavorful, amazing taste, ordered medium ... unfortunately got extreme spicy. Flaming hot (spicy) food. Which part of "medium spicy" was not clear !!! Been coming here for long time with family & friends, it is important, they maintain consistency in their cooking and spiciness of food ! read more

My son and I wanted to try the craft beer and self serve taps and weren't disappointed it was a fun experience the service was great beer was cold smoked ally salad was excellent. Me and my son shared it. It was so big. The ambience was pretty nice. We sat outside in the beginning and then we went indoors. And it wasn't too loud for a tap house, my only disappointment was that most of the kegs were out so the selection was not complete, but will definitely have go back and try. read more

Came here with my wife on a Sunday for lunch. Came in, nobody was at the front desk, we waited a few minutes before someone showed up to seat us. He was not attentive, and he was on a phone call the entire time. We sat down, he came back with glasses (that did not look clean) and a water jug that had dirty finger prints and dried on food stains all over it. We walked up and left. We came here based on referrals, can't say anything about the food because we didn't have any, but service doesn't even deserve one star. read more

Great environment, good food and a great selection of beers. They also have nice mixed drinks.

Love this place. Dave the proprietor and our host and waiter Nathan were extremely courteous and welcoming I enjoyed chatting with both of them. The ambiance was very casual and if you're a beer drinker this is the spot especially if you're a sports fan with the wall to wall big screens We ordered the garlic fries, Cobb salad, shrimp and crab pasta the lamb sliders and Greek salad topped off with a Mai Thai everything was prepared timely and was all absolutely delicious Thank you Dave for your hospitality I'll definitely be back read more

Definitely a great hangout for guys and gals after work. It's a nice place to catch up with old friends, try different beers they have on tap, and get some food while you're at it. They give you a bracelet that triggers the tap to allow beer to dispense from the wall. The bracelet also stores information re: how much beer was dispensed and the restaurant charges by ounces. Innovative! Casual and clean interior. Televisions broadcasting the game are located throughout the restaurant. The garlic noodles with shrimp and crab meat is an entree that's very good although quite rich and filling. Friendly staff. Large parking lot shared with other businesses. read more

This is one of the weirdest Indian restaurants I've ever dined in, and I've dined in hundreds of them! I'll keep this short and to the point. My palak paneer entree was a 5-star fabulous main course.

It's the perfect place to pre-game a movie with friends. The self serve draft beers are great and a fun refreshing take to a usual dive bar.

FYI the food has changed to Indian. It's very good and authentic feeling, however the beer experience wasn't great. Many of the taps were broken or empty.
