I specifically love how the rotation stays with similar tasting beers ** The choice of musicians and diverse genres make it such a fun time *** Dogs are happy and welcome to chill and frolic around the wide space **** The vibes are always so fun that even when you walk by it, it invites you to stop by ***** Perfect spot to have an event, watch a game or have a live music get together

I've come here a couple of times and have enjoyed every experience…read more There's quite a variety of drinks to choose from. I thoroughly enjoyed the Margarita cider. I was asked if I wanted tajin on the rim (absolutely), which was a nice touch to the drink. I would get this again - Lots of outdoor and indoor seating - Good for small and large groups - Good for families (saw a lot of kids running around both times) - Good for pets (saw lots of dogs - There are fire pits as well - I heard about some complaints regarding the music, but I didn't find it to be any issue. As someone who is sensitive to loud noise and doesn't like super loud music, I quite liked the live music. It wasn't blasting in our ears and I could still hear my group talking. If you're hungry, Southie is located on the premises for ordering. Miscellaneous: - Parking is available via street parking - Definitely gets busy on the weekends around noon (especially with nice weather) - Don't wear clothes that can't get any dirt on them as the ground outside is dirt

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!

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 !

Tucked away oasis with many indoor and outdoor spaces. Also the view! Wow. Various food truck(s) are stationed if you're hungry. First beer flight and it was so interesting!

My only request, PLEASE just make your fryer totally gluten free. Came all the way here to enjoy your Gluten Free fish & chips, fries, etc. then found out they fry their croutons in the same fryer.

Popped in for a beer, and was able to also grab last service of a bbq vendor on the patio area. Love Humble Sea when they were just a Santa Cruz spot. The Alameda location has the full gamut of beers plus some ciders and soft drinks. I went for the IPAs on tap and took them out to the patio/yard to enjoy. Nothing better than good beer and a chill Friday summer evening. It was the night before americas 250th, so no real reason to feel proud and celebratory with the Orange Cheeto in office. But we are alive and ready to fight, so that's something.

The wait staff was really nice don't get me wrong, but it took one of us to go up to them (chatting with a regular) to order drinks & food, and another one of us to bother them to pay as well. I think that was biggest qualm though! Just that the wait staff should be slightly more attentive, especially at times when the restaurant is mostly empty. The food was bomb though. We had a tikka pizza, the lemon pepper wings, and French fries. All were super great with the cocktails we ordered. Definitely a great catch up spot with the girlies, I'll probably return and manifest better service.
