    Great beer, good vibes and awesome people. We like to come and get a bite to eat from the local food trucks. Bonus points for being dog friendly too!

    Price for the flights and singles are definitely worth it. They had live music and there are some games you can grab to play. Good for small groups or solo. They happened to have a pop up for a bbq place there but I think they rotate pop ups of people with food. Either way would come back good vibes

    While I'm not there every Friday like a "former" customer, this brewery has been a place for my family to enjoy a brew, some pizza and good vibes over the years. It supports my cousins business every Friday (check out Pizza Party 209) and other local businesses and artists. They have a great variety of beers that we love to try out. They have the most attentive staff and to no one's surprise, they welcome everyone in with a smile. This is the kind of atmosphere Lodi and the Central Valley have needed and we're happy to continue celebrating it!

    We stumbled onto this place looking for a dog friendly brewery and we were soooooo happy!! The wine I had was delicious, and my hubby enjoyed the Hustle Juice and Trophy Wife beets. We look forward to coming again! ( and so does our doggie).

    Deep breath...sigh...Sooo...many years ago I got into it just a little bit with Rick (Riaza tasting room downtown.) Ended up crossing them off our list. A couple weeks ago I discovered Side Hustle Brew was in existence. Since I am not looking for a new best friend and being a beer kind of person, I decided to give them a go anyway...just looking for some good suds...Great-Great decision. First off they are making some really good beers. We went through several taster glasses and a few pints. The awesome lady running the place is great. Friendly, professional, knowledgeable and gave us a couple sips so we could get oriented. Things I liked...the beer, the glasses, the logo (okay, I am a nerd graphics guy), the vibe and the friendly peeps we met who were also enjoying a pint or two. The tasters at $2 are an incredible go...for $10 you get a good taste of five brews. Great experience. No food but they do rotate food trucks on prem and allow you to bring food in. Thumbs up! Nice outdoor space when weather permits. They have made it to my top two list here in Lodi. Gave me a menu which I hung from the activity board in our short term rental property. Only possible negative was the indoor space is a bit noisy but hey, it's a party place...right. Nice bar, tables and high-tops to choose from and get comfortable. Interesting little table games to keep you occupied as well. We liked it so much we came back...with a friend in tow. Beers are made in small batches so if you like variety/new beers and fresh beer, Side Hustle is your place. They have a membership club where you get some benni's including ability to purchase a special brew. Currently Snort & Rally which is almost worth joining the club for. Since they are part of/partnered with Riaza Wines, your group can enjoy both beer and wine at the same table. Grab a taco from out back and y'all are good to go. They are a little hard to spot as you head to Costco, but worth slowing down and looking for. As for my issue with Rick, I don't remember all the details, doubt if he does either and only a real loser-moron would hold a grudge for 20 years...So Cheers Rick! Best to you and your team...See you again!

    We had a great visit to Side Hustle Brewery for Father's Day! FYI, they are kid friendly! We got there right @1 when they opened. When you park in the parking lot, it looks like you're in the qwrong place, but you're not! There is a side gate to access the property. The inside area is open with a lot of seating, and their outside area is nice. There is a covered portion and uncovered. They didn't have a food truck this day, so we brought in snacks which was awesome! They offer beer by the glass or you can do a flight of beer tasters. They also have wine flights or by the glass/bottle. They service was great, and I wish we had gotten the nice employees name but she was super helpful and knew all about the beers and wine she was serving.

    I love going to Side Hustle, they brew the best beer in town, great local music, rotating food trucks everyday, and easily the most welcoming, inclusive, and respectful vibes, and a super chill atmosphere. They also give back to the community by supporting local fundraisers. The staff genuinely treats everyone like long time friends. The fact that they put real effort into being inclusive and community minded just makes me appreciate them even more. I'll keep supporting places like this because it's clear they care not just about making great beer, but about creating a space where everyone feels comfortable and valued. Cheers!

    Get the flight, leave with a growler, get a bottle of red wine, and you'll be happy! One of the more inclusive places to imbibe and retrieve tasty snacks from a nearby taco truck or guest vendor :)

    Go for the beer. You can find better wine elsewhere in Lodi, though it is nice they have that choice for non-beer drinkers in your group.

    What is the dinner menu and is there outdoor eating?

    Barbara…thanks for the question. We don’t have our own restaurant - but rely on a number of food trucks (typically on Friday and Saturday nights). Since the trucks rotate, the menu changes regularly. If you do the social media thing, we post a…

    I hate to update this with a bad rating, but my hearing has been DAMAGED after attending a show…read morehere. They had usually kept the sound levels here reasonable, but one show I attended was louder than usual. Afterwards, I have had ringing in my ears for the past TWELVE WEEKS. While I didn't think much of it during the show, I obviously would not have gone had I known it was going to cause this much damage. The venue should have posted a warning about the sound being above safe levels, and clearly advised patrons to use hearing protection and made that easily available. I learned too late that a sound level meter would have clearly shown that the sound levels were loud enough to cause permanent hearing damage. I'm normally the last person to complain about sound being too loud, but it's simply inexcusable that any show in a public venue would cause hearing damage! I have sent printed letters about this to the venue, its parent company and the management of the band. I have not received any response at all, not even an apology. I live very close to this venue and had attended many shows, but I no longer can after this. I greatly value my hearing and am now spending much time and money in efforts to minimize the damage this one show caused me. I was very happy to have this place open so close to me, but now I can't wait to move.

There are a few parking lots within a short walk, a street parking in the neighborhood. Pre-show we lined up for entry. There is a bar on the 2nd floor. The show room is beautiful with the 1st floor that can have seating, or a stand up audience. The 2nd floor has 3 tiered seating. There is not a bad seat in the house for watching the show. The sound system is very good. My wife and I look forward to returning for future shows.

Yesterday, my husband and I were both celebrating birthdays. I brought a bottle of wine for dinner and we decided that we would have a couple of cocktails at the bar before we were seated. Casey, the bartender has always been incredible, great conversationalist, mixologist and he creates the perfect "Cheers" style atmosphere. The restaurant is always great about accommodating a special request. I had requested a thicker cut steak for my dinner about a week before our reservation and it was prepared perfectly! Honestly, the best steak I have had in over a year. My husband had escargot as an appetizer and I had the prawn cocktail. Both were excellent as were the salads and of course the entrees were fantastic. My husband had the King Salmon, perfectly cooked and seasoned very well. We also splurged for dessert and were not disappointed! The server, Casey's wife was so attentive, kind and a true hospitality professional. It was also great seeing Steve Ding, the owner again, he is always welcoming and genuinely dedicated to making your experience a memorable one. If you're going to be doing the full dinner experience like we did, with cocktails before or during dinner, appetizers, salad, entrées, and dessert, it will be a fine dining experience. DO NOT sleep on this restaurant. The only service you will be doing is a disservice to yourself if you don't go. We would love to go more often, but we are a bit too far away to frequent as often as we would like. They have a great Happy Hour and lunch specials as well! So go hungry and leave happy!

It's SOOOO FUN! Because I got tickets so late I ended up sitting in the lounge. Not a bad bet at all! The room with the seating has an unobstructed view of the stage but the lounge was popping. We could dance and move at our own free will. I need to mention I'm still here and a tad tipsy so forgive me if this review takes some unexpected turns. Anthony at the bar is adorable and super kind. He took care of us all night. Something important to note, you may want to eat before you come or bring food with you. There is an outside pzza shop that you can purchase from too. Anywho, some people have on jeans others have on bedazzled jumpsuits. Come as you are?! Definitely want to come back. TLDR.... it's FUN. Feels local. Affordable.

    I've gone to many concerts here and it's a great place outside for concerts. The lawn seats are…read morepriced cheap and you can still get a great view of the stage as long as you sit in the front area of the grass and don't have too many people in front of you. You can rent chairs there to sit in for $10-$15 that you return at the end of the night. They no longer allow you to bring your own chairs anymore. You can bring in blankets to sit on which I recommend. The grass does get little bugs and nats but I brought a portable fan and it kept them away. They have a huge selection of food, drinks and serve alcohol. The price for the food is expensive. I got 3 street barbacoa tacos and it was $24! The homemade lemonade was $9.78 and pretzel was $9.78 with no cheese. They have a great stage set up and the sound system is amazing. The only thing that is horrible is the parking situation. I recommend you buy the VIP parking so you can get good parking when arriving but more so when you leave because you're able to beat the traffic and not have to wait in line to leave for hours because of the one way out. The VIP and handicap parking allows you to drive in the center lanes and skip the one lane main parking line. It's in the middle of Wheatland and close to Hard Rock Casino.

The parking lot after trying to find your car is next to impossible they need better lighting and assistance. Once we finally found the car, it the better part of an hour sitting in the waiting to get out of the parking lot. They need more entrances/exit. The one way in one way out is a killer for me, until they address some of those issues I doubt that I'll be back REGARDLESS of who is playing.
