However, through their Facebook page you can sign up for "VIP Loyalty" and get a couple of cool offers. The ones I could claim were a FREE Pretzel or a FREE One Sausage Platter. Older offers included FREE Custom Dog or FREE French Fries. These are available Sunday through Friday only, one offer per visit, not valid with any other offers, dine-in only. Show in person to staff and get a special code to redeem. I love their giant pretzels and sausage platters, and the fruity Starburst grapefruit radler beer with pom cider is such a summer vibe. Most recent visit was also able to catch the Argentina World Cup game on the projector. For my FREE offer I went with the one sausage platter (picked bratwurst and potato salad), then also got a 500mL Starburst and a pretzel with added bier cheese. Judi got the Berliner dog (curry and fries) and a cucumber salad, and we shared an order of the S'mores Belgie dessert! I will be back soon for my FREE pretzel, and I must remember to try the Starburst as a slushie/frozen!

You enter without truly knowing where to go or what to do, so be observant as there may be an actual line to order drinks and food, just don't cut someone off. Ordering was easy. Same window for beer and food. If you order food you're given a number that people deliver food. Came here for happy hour. I got myself a pretzel with add-on cheese, a pulled pork (seasonal) Belgie with fries, and I sampled other food that my friends ordered. Firstly, the 1L beer is worth it. Not happy hour prices., but well worth the volume. It definitely transported me back to my visit to Munich and the beer halls. Oh, I do miss the drunken singing of the Germans lol Secondly, the food was just okay. Pretzels were thankfully cheaper since it was happy hour but i paid $1 for the add-on cheese. The mustard combo sauce was great. I wish the pretzel was a bit bigger. I appreciated the warmth and the salt ratio; not overpowering. The Belgie (waffle sandwich) was also on happy hour. The texture of the waffle was great. Crisp exterior, soft interior. I ordered the seasonal pulled pork which was great in texture and decently portioned. It is a thick boy, so biting into it was a bit of a challenge. Ended up deconstructing the sandwich and used utensils. Sauce maybe would've been better on the side. Fries always win. No complaints though I wish I ordered the garlic fries... the smell was good. One thing I didn't get to try was their famous, Starbust drink which is a mix of beer, cider and some frosty, maybe. The color was intriguing and everyone seemed to order it around me. The misters were on, which was a blessing and a curse. Definitely helped cool me down, but also became a nuisance as the table and all my belongings got wet. Excited for their new location in Old Sac. Maybe a revised review in the future. Stay tuned.

Vibes are definitely cozy inside. I just wish they had a more expansive beer menu. The one posted on their website didn't quite align with what they had for the day, as it was much more limited and so options were a bit slim for me.

I've been to the original many times, but this was my first at the Sacramento taproom and I loved my visit. It's located in a beautiful historic neighborhood right near the Capitol building. It feels like you're in a quiet area, but it's filled with people. They have outdoor seating, plus the main taproom counter, bar, and various tables. In the main taproom you'll find lots of takeout beer and the merchandise. I ordered a few new beers to try, always up to the consistently excellent quality. The staff were welcoming and friendly. It's a casual place, and you can choose your own seating. If you've never been to a Fieldwork, it's a great location.

It's a strange concept, but after you take a sip, you get it and will go back for more. Refreshing and pleasant to get in a half pour and have it break up between other beers. Tip: sip before you smell it. If you smell it first, you will think it's overwhelming but it's actually not. - cucumber melon juniper non-alcoholic mocktail - super refreshing and clean. Perfect for summer. - Pulp hazy IPA - light and pleasant All others had a similar taste and feel, and not a lot of distinguishing characteristics, though I sort of feel that way every time so come here. It's all similar but you find a few hidden gems. Pizza and pretzels are good. Service was great! Staff are super friendly and helpful with the beer tasting suggestions.

Where else can you find an organized event with all you can drink beer and all you can snack food. It almost seemed like a race against time with the 3 hour window, but my friends and I were prepared. With empty stomachs and a determination like no other, we faced the hundreds of breweries with our teeny weeny cups and snatched as many small bites we possibly could. Some of the highlights that I give my royal approval: - the spot in the back with the giant beer: the red blend was awesome - chimay....we found you! but please...the small steins are silly as is, don't be cheap and give us more than just half of it. - never going to waste my time with the pear ciders - corndogs....it was like the holy grail - aidell's is bomb - hanoi beer girls....beer probably sucked, but you girls were great at pooring. - Pizza Orgasmica, thank you for replenishing yourselves. it wouldn't be the same without the pizza and beer combo! and so ...next year, i'm going to have to come back fosho!

The hallway had a bit of a strange odor, but thankfully once we got into our room, everything smelled fresh and was much more comfortable. The room itself was clean, and the beds were quite comfortable, making for a good night's sleep. One of the highlights of our stay was the pool and hot tub. We had the entire area to ourselves, which made it extra relaxing. My only suggestion would be larger pool towels--it's hard to dry off with a hand towel than a bath towel! Breakfast was surprisingly good. The filled croissants were absolutely delicious and quickly became my favorite part of the morning. There were a couple of minor inconveniences. The automatic bathroom lights were a bit annoying, especially when they turned on unexpectedly. Also, getting a luggage cart was quite a challenge. We waited nearly two hours without any luck until a maintenance man kindly stepped in and helped us. I didn't have the opportunity to attend the evening reception, but several people told me it was very good. Overall, I enjoyed my stay. While there are a few areas that could use improvement, the comfortable room, relaxing pool and spa, and tasty breakfast made for a pleasant experience. I'd consider staying again.

After visiting a couple of art galleries in San Francisco on Saturday, January 11, 2025, I…read moreconvinced DJ that we should dine out in the city since we were already out. Remembering that he had been wanting to check out 21st Amendment for some years now, I suggested that we go here. DJ was immediately sold. After calling two to three times to no avail, we temporarily parked nearby, so that DJ could walk in to check if they were still open and serving dinner. Thankfully, they were open, but they didn't hear the phone ring. We reparked, then arrived shortly before 7:30 PM and were seated immediately. I had been at 21st Amendment before for a very enjoyable lunch with some colleagues back in November, 2019 and the place looked exactly how I remembered it. Venue: 4 stars. With concrete floors and walls with wooden tables and chairs & benches, the restaurant has a rustic and industrial air. Upon entry, patrons are greeted by the bar with seating and its attendants. They have an open kitchen from where the cooks can nod greetings to you. The entire space, including the women's restroom is kept clean & tidy. DJ's only complaint was that he did not enjoy some of the techno music that would play in between the salsa and reggaeton songs both of which I was totally digging. Food: 3 stars. In addition to the TALL HAT that DJ ordered and fully enjoyed, below-listed are the food items that we had. Soup of the Day, Gumbo ($7 cup) - I was given a couple of complimentary slices of toasted bread to accompany my New Orleans stew which were nice to dip in the broth and eat. I'm not quite sure what kind of meat was used, but there was no sausage. 21st Amendment's version of gumbo is more like a soup rather than a stew as the broth was not as thick as usual. The flavour was still good, but I did wish that there was okra. When I was at the bottom of the cup and asked how I liked the gumbo, I commented that I enjoyed it, but was surprised that it was completely absent of rice. Our server, Luis, went back to the kitchen to inquire, returned, informing me that the kitchen admitted to forgetting it, so with a new cup including rice in hand, he served the second serving to me and comped the cup from our bill. Wow, I was very impressed by how the matter was handled. Veggie Burger ($16) with Garlic Fries ($2) - DJ said that the sriracha flavour of the aioli was light/faint. He would have preferred a little more punch of spice from the condiment. The garlic fries were not bad. Baja Fish Tacos with mixed greens ($19) - The two tacos were very generous in portions and the fish were perfectly fried golden. I found the cod to be fishy in taste, so I gave my second taco to DJ. He did not notice any fishy flavour which is very interesting because he is a vegetarian and I expected him to notice it much more than I did. Weird. Meat Lover's PIZZA ($20) - We ordered two of these twelve inch pies for to-go for the boys. Both said that they were good. Service: 5 stars. As I mentioned before, Luis was our waiter and he delivered stellar service. As a former server, myself, I noticed immediately the excellent care we were given by him. The entire night, I kept commenting to DJ on every moment that Luis demonstrated his top-notch customer service. We will definitely need to come back...when Luis is working!

The large outdoor space overlooks the San Francisco skyline, making it an amazing spot to relax with a drink and enjoy the view. Inside, the brewery has a huge warehouse-style space with arcade games and TVs playing the World Cup, creating a fun, laid-back vibe. I was also pleasantly surprised to find a small market with local vendors selling a variety of items, which made the experience even more unique. There was a Mexican food stand outside, so it was easy to grab something to eat while enjoying the brewery. The atmosphere was very family-friendly, with plenty of kids and dogs around, making it feel welcoming for everyone. The beer itself was excellent, with a great variety of flavors to choose from.

I'll definitely be coming back to enjoy the great beer, beautiful views, and relaxed atmosphere.
