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

Almanac, refers to the Farmer's Almanac, a seasonality reference guide for farmers that has been…read morepublished every year in the U.S. since 1818. 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!

I don't think you can go wrong with a slushie on a hot day. Inside there's a bunch of games and pinball machines. Very family friendly. Will be back!

Super great brewery!…read more Easily accessible and spacious! Doesn't get too hot on the inside, and tons of space for private and public events. 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!

The shrimp lacked a bit of flavor and in general, there weren't too many items on the menu. Their fries are good though. For the price, I would not go back, but I definitely recommend if you're looking for ambiance.

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. As a celiac, my heart is so sad. I'd love to come back to get to enjoy all the fried goodness one day. And it's such an easy fix. Pretty please

This is such. Great setup at Humble Sea Alameda. The brewery is part of the condo complex here that…read moreincludes a great restaurant, wine bar, and a few other retail spots. 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.

Wow wow wow! I came…read morehere to celebrate my friend's bday party with her friends. Everything was good until the bartender ruined it. She insulted my best friend and her FAMILY. She was insulting other people and going around yelling at people. And the worst part is, She even made our precious bday girl cry because of her disgusting attitude. She needs to be reprimanded and she needs to learn her lesson. I know this bartender and I've had issues with her in the past and I swallowed it with a grain of salt. But because of what happened today, I have 0 respect for this person. Ill never ever go to a bar where she is working, period.

My friends said the garlic fries were good and I enjoyed my drink very much. If you want a place that has good drinks and I has nice staff, I'd say Lemondrop is a good place.

Saw this place was highly reviewed and had some interesting fusion bites, so went to check it out…read more The restaurant is cute, they have a nice bar area and some fire pits outside. 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.
