Located in the back of the building where you park (free parking & big lot)! They have about one beer of every kind, so limited options but also not limited. :) They ran out of some of the canned beers I'd would've wanted to take home, but I guess that's just how good their beer is!

My friends and I stopped by East Brother Beer Company to watch a World Cup game and it's a great…read morespace. The brewery is dog friendly, there's a bunch of games -- including a pool table, Pop-A-Shot, and arcade games, and plenty of seating indoors and outdoors. The one con to the space however is that there's a bunch of mosquitos inside. In the span of ten minutes, my friend and I were both bitten four times. If you're sensitive to mosquito bites, you'll definitely want to wear long pants and/or a jacket to keep the mosquitos at Bay. The beers here are fine. There wasn't a single beer that was amazing enough where I'd go out of my way to get it again. Although there's a wide variety of beers, most of them are on the lighter side. In term of food options, there was a single food truck parked outside on the day that we stopped by. That said, they do allow outside food. Overall, East Brother Beer Company was fine, but not a standout brewery experience for me.

I wanted a Reisling and usually go to spots in El Cerrito, Berkeley, Albany, Oakland and decided to…read morelook locally. I felt like a ghost, like a "Spook, who sat by the door." I was ignored from the moment I went into there until I left. They had a selection and some decent prices, but apparently, they are left over from the part of San Pablo who really isn't into the race mixing. Someone was working on a spreadsheet? or something on the computer at a desk behind the platform where the cashier was standing. I was clearly looking, but when the bare minimum, "Hello, welcome. Can I help you look for something?" the floor becomes the making of something fancy, then something was wrong. I had one more stop to go after this. I was working too hard to find a drink to pair with my meal. The couple there remind me of the racists who ignore you. They don't call you names or look at you funny. I thought it was odd, because I thought that they'd want my money. I even found a good bottle of wine for a deal, but I don't knowingly spend my money with such people, so I left. Also, the desk, which was almost in the middle of the sales floor was strewn with papers and a real mess. That should never be shown to the public. I don't know why I'm helping them, but clearly these people never went to charm school, which is where I'd send them to learn some manners.

I have been exploring their selection of Whiskey and Bourbon lately and I found one that I truly do not like. In fact, it shouldn't sit on the same shelf as Takamine! This Whiskey/Bourbon is NO WHERE NEAR the same class as Takamine. PLEASE!!!! Put this down lower with the cheap Bourbon's as it will never compare with the "TOP SHELF" bourbon you sell at your fine establishment. It has no flavor profile. It is not unique. It does not make you think you are reborn. It is not a top shelf bourbon. I am open to discussions...

The pizza was surprisingly good. The kale pizza stood out with lots of garlicky pesto on top. The Fireball was spicier than expected -- the shishito peppers actually gave off quite a bit of heat. The dough is fluffy and the cheesy crust was excellent. Really liked trying Detroit-style pizza for the first time, and it paired well with the drinks. The space itself is very nice -- people come here to work, relax, or just grab a drink and a snack. It's family-friendly and they also have games, which made it fun to hang out and play a few rounds with friends after finishing our food and drinks.

I discovered the front is also an area for Indian groceries, lunch (Punjabi Kitchen - Tues-Thur 11a-3p), middle of the store sells traditional Indian clothes/fabric, etc. I've been looking for a place like this to get legit ingredients to make authentic Indian recipes - my next food conquest was Dal Makhini and I was able to find everything I needed and then some! There is a ton of decently priced beans, spices, some fresh produce, imported Indian products- even the spicy pickled mango my partner loves! Looks like the place is family-owned and the lady working there was helpful in pointing me to the right direction for spices. Definitely coming back to get more Indian products, try Punjabi Kitchen, and taste the variety of beers at the bar!

I ordered a Cesar salad. The Romain lettuce must have been cut several days prior to me getting their salad.--see photo-- the edges that had been cut or bent--was orange colored. I went to show their server/order taker. He asked what I would like? I told him Brussels sprouts. He gave me an order for "free", but they were so charred that they were inedible (for me). I didn't eat them. Next time I will only drink here.

For your first time it is a bit intimidating as it feels like the middle of nowhere. This is the secret gem of the area and is right on the water. It's a great space inside and outside. Plenty of parking! Look for the red door closer toward the water. They have special events for their wine club members and it is so cute with snacks and all. The wine was so tasty with a wide variety! We had a birthday party there and it was so chill and fun. I can definitely see bringing some board games and playing while enjoying incredible wine . Huge tip, their homemade sangria is incredible and I highly recommend getting it! Go to this secret gem and explore their menu.

I have a personal goal to try all the beer places in the East Bay area. I've been to most of the…read morebreweries in Berkeley (Gilman, Great Notion, Fieldworks, Headlands), some in nearby cities (Match Point, East Brothers, Fraction), and I've been wanting to check out this taproom because of the good reviews online. I don't consider myself a beer connoisseur, but I like trying different beers and ciders so this place was right up my alley. I had a friend visiting Berkeley from out of town so we came here to hang out and catch up. One thing that stood out to me is this place, because it's a taproom and not a brewery, is open later than the other beer places in the East Bay. Many choices of beer and cider on tap. I tried the ginger peppercorn cider and it was very unique, I've never had a cider like this flavor, it's almost like a cross between ginger beer and cider. My friends enjoyed various beers on tap. The place is pretty small but very clean and cute. I like that you can choose from 10 oz or 16 oz pour, so people like me can try more varieties in smaller portion than just drinking one boring thing. I like variety. The all you can eat popcorn was a hit with our little group. The truffle flavor really elevates the popcorn and it goes well with beer! There's so much free parking in this area at night... super convenient... although it scared me for a minute when I couldn't find my car in the very empty street lot, before I realized I was another block farther down. This area of Berkeley feels pretty safe at night even at 11pm. Good place. I would definitely go again!

Cute little 20 minutes spent at Hoi Polloi. I'm sure ill be back when needing a little break from life to sip on a yummy sour.
