We stopped into Original Pattern Brewing Company while spending some time around Jack London Square…read moreand really enjoyed the atmosphere. The space has a relaxed, welcoming vibe that makes it easy to settle in for a beer. Their tap list had a good range of options, and everything we tried was well done and easy to drink. One thing that made the stop even better was the food situation nearby. There is pizza right next door, which makes it simple to grab something to eat and bring it back with your beer. That setup worked perfectly for us. The staff were friendly, the space felt comfortable, and it is a spot we would happily return to next time we are in the area.

Not only are their beers expertly crafted, but they always have a carefully curated guest tap list to accompany their own beers. We've had nothing but friendly service here. We also absolutely love the ambiance; almost feels like we're in a European pub rather than a draft room in Oakland. Truly a comfortable space with quality beer.

The beers on tap were really good and their pizzas where equally as good. The vibe was really cool and I love how much seating there was. The outside is massive and they also have a cool smaller inside which can still sit a fair amount of people. Staff was super friendly as well. Would I come back.. if I was in the area yes for sure. Good drinks and food and if you want to catch a game they have TV's for that as well.

A number of my hiking group descended upon this beer garden after hiking in the redwoods nearby and…read morethey took us all like champs. The lady at the counter busted our line down quickly and efficiently and the food came out pretty quickly as well. Beer was poured at the counter. The outdoor seating area is delightful, clean, and well-shaded. Food is brought out but dishes are personally bussed. I got the cherry sour which was very sour and fruity - a little surprising (in a good way), delicious, and refreshing. I ordered the fish and chips but wanted a vegetable so I also got the melon and tomato salad. I'm a sucker for flan so I also had to try that. The fish and chips were perfect and piping hot and crispy. The salad was unfortunately a little disappointing; neither the melons nor tomatoes tasted very ripe so the whole salad was just a bit lacking in flavor. The flan also had a sliiiightly overcooked texture, but was overall pretty good, with a well-executed caramel sauce. Portions are also very generous!

I don't drink anymore but my fiancé likes to enjoy beer. I'll solely cover things non-beer related…read more They have a clean up after yourself system which I like because it holds people accountable. It gets super packed often however, the staff are always kind and efficient. The buffalo wings and (garlic) fries are always a must. I feel like the ranch could be tastier (my favorite is from Wingstop). The Fried Chicken Sandwich was not good at all. It was lacking soo much flavor and honestly only order this if you want cuts in every crevice of your mouth. I'll be trying something different next visit for sure.

We ordered a lot of food and everything came out delicious, hot and in a timely manner. We ordered salads, pizza and wings and everything was really delicious! Also like that you can order from an QR code and your drink can be delivered. There was plenty of street parking for a Saturday night but as any city in the bay keep valuables with you and not in your car. I enjoyed this location because they have a very open floor plan and a lot of outdoor seating. They also have a merchandise shop if you want to buy anything to remember you experience. Their business was really clean including the bathrooms and everyone who worked there was really nice and attentive to our large party. I highly recommend this business! Unfortunately I was in the moment and didn't take many photos of the interior or of all the food.

Great range of beers and sharable snacks, good prices too. The staff is extremely helpful as well; they can recommend something if you describe to them what you're looking for. Even with a long line, they still personalize the experience and take their time with you! Thank you Faction Brewing, I can't wait to come back !

Quality/Quantity - Wow, has it been 4 years since I have been here!!!! This might be my new favorite Alameda Brewery! Discovered and bought the 36oz Stein! With $10 refills. Help... Wait, I don't need help; I can drink all this by myself. Today I got the Aussie Holiday - To remind me of my Australia Holiday. And the Fest Coast - German IPA, have not been to Germany (yet). Love your beer, even better that I can pick it up at Costco sometimes. Scolaris food truck - Always good food! I have not been here since they closed Rock Wall Winery, sorry. My wife ordered a blueberry bacon cheese burger - So good. Pictures uploaded at Scolaris. And now Marley's G is here from Park Street. I will eat here on the next trip. Atmosphere - Cool, hip, and rocking!! The place was fairly empty, but today was a Monday. Very family oriented, family friendly. See all my pictures. Pinball machines, arcade, sand box for kids, etc. Also very dog friendly; surrounded by dogs, in a positive way. :) Indoor/outdoor seating - See pictures. Indoor seating - Table, bar, lounge, etc. Plenty of parking across the street. Two parking lots now, one dirt and one paved. I only took one picture. Open 7 days a week from 11am or noon till 9pm, 10pm or 11pm; see Yelp or their website for specific hours. Private events available. Do you give tours of your warehouse or brewery? Service - Good, I like the new system. It is much more organized. Quick and friendly service. Price - $37 including tip. Expensive, but worth it. Can't wait to come back for more refills. :) Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2011 and this location since 2018; we were day one customers!

They have both an indoor and outdoor space making plenty of room to enjoy with friends or a solo date at the counter. I appreciate how there are also other faves nearby to stop by after you grab a drink here.
