19 Best Beer Bars in Oakland

“We got the cheeseburger, cheese steak, fries, and corn fritters. I really didn't expect everything to taste THIS good but I was so pleasantly surprised!! Everything was so tasty and the drinks were even better!!! I LOVED the house made ranch and put that on everything. The owner and staff were also super kind - will def be coming back. They have odd hours so it's hard to catch when they're open but definitely worth it.“

“Great bar and good food trucks out front“

“Best bartenders, awesome owners, killer sound and all around good times always!“

“Good place to stop by and grab a healthy salad on your way to catch your flight. I had the Super Green Salad with Tofu. I liked the fresh ingredients and the dressing. There were plenty of other ready to go salads to choose from. If you arrive early for your flight, you can take your salad and walk over and catch the view of the bay nearby. If I am ever catching another flight out of the Oakland Airport again, I'll make sure and try another one of their salads.“

“I haven't been here for many years. It's always been a Belgian beer bar. I'm not sure when Sante Adairius took it over but they've pretty much kept it the same as it was, in a good way. As I tend to drink IPA's, I was happy that they also had some on the menu. I tried the Left and Leaning, a non hazy that I really enjoyed. My friend had a very properly poured St. Bernardus (see photo). The service was great. Also on hand is a lovely, friendly Irish Setter. It was very fun when he visited our table. There's a nice $5 parking lot next door with an attendant. This alone would bring me back :)“

“My favorite brewery in Oakland and it’s not even close. Large and diverse selection of beers such as IPA’s, malty ( schwarzbier, dopplebock, brown ale, etc), and light beers. the inside can be kind of tight but they have plenty of outdoor seating and the upstairs which has more seating and an entertainment area for kids. The customer service and the owners are always good people and there is food trucks always outside when I’m there which are quality as well.The only thing I can recommend is to watch your cars in the area. It’s still Oakland but I have yet to see a break in of my car or others but I would take valuables out. Other then that come visit this brewery, enjoy the amazing beers and good people.“

“This place is so good! I stopped here for a quick breakfast and was not disappointed. I ordered a Lavendar Latte with Almond milk and the Bagel with Cheddar, Egg, and Butter. I opted for the everything bagel. The sandwich was the perfect blend of salty butteriness in combination with the egg and cheese. The latter was so cute and absolutely delicious! This coffee shop is a great choice!“

“My new favorite brewery in Oakland. Easy to find parking, nice location, fun and ample seating arrangements, and every beer on tap was delicious. I'm still on my fruited beer kick and the Water Boy and Nordic Jam were super well balanced and easy drinking. Friendly staff and killer burgers next door at Lovely's. Can't wait to go back“

“The great Reuben sandwich!“

“great location downtown Oakland. price is good. Food is good.“

“We’ve been in multiple times, enough to almost be “regulars”. Every experience has been better than the last. The food is amazing. Michael really kills it with all of his regular menu items and totally knocks it out of the park with his specials! Oh, and the beer…??!! Delicious. We love that we can always take a few of our favorites home with us to enjoy between visits. Super friendly staff, we love Sophia and Chris and look forward to getting to know all the new folks too. Highly recommend. Easy parking. Super safe area.“

“Stopped by midweek and this place did not disappoint. Easy ordering via phone, prompt service, and delicious food. We got the Blue Heat 50/50 style and the Ramen 50/50 plus a strawberry boba. Both hot dogs were perfect with the right amount of cheese pull and loaded with flavor. We also got the Sriracha mayo which I highly recommend. Boba with fantastic; not too sweet with good flavor and the right amount of chew texture.“

“The handsome fella with the bowling shirt treated me and my friends so well even tho we came in the last 45 minutes. He let us have our drinks and enjoy the ambiance. He specifically told is not to rush . He made me want to come back just based on his energy, and the drinks were fire too!“

“Simply the best. Better than all the rest! (The song that plays in my head when I walk into the Good Hop)The draft list is always fire. And if you can't find a beer in the back you like.... well. That's not possible.Go and drink it!“

“el servicio genial i la amabilidad de los trabajadores. there are a delicius food.“

“Vibe, crowd craft cocktails. LIT“

“Very solid Brazilian fare, good beer selection, wonderful service people“

“There's so much to look at when you're inside but you could also enjoy the outside air. The food was AMAZING. I ordered the grilled coho salmon my family kept robbing my plate but I'd rob theirs too. The service was also nice they were all so sweet.“

“Hoza hands down has the best vegan chicken wings I’ve ever had. They’re made in house and I believe they are seitan. The sauces slap especially the carolina gold but honestly love them all. They don’t do the whole sugar cane bone like some high end vegan restaurants but personally the flavor and texture are so good I don’t think it’s missing a thing.The vegan pizza varies from okay to good depending on what you get. Personally like the spuddy buddy the best.Recently they moved to the space next door and it’s got a nice vibe in there definitely want to check out happy hour sometime.Dietary restrictions: Vegan“
