Calicraft Brewing Company Brewery • $
2700 Mitchell Dr, Walnut Creek

“We enjoy coming here for Cali Craft’s open space. They have a big selection of beers and non alcoholic beverages. From time to time, they will have food options by partnering food trucks. I would definitely recommend coming here if you enjoy beers but also it is an easy place to hang. Breweries are pretty great for young families.“

Morgan Territory Brewing Brewpubs • $$
40 Crescent Dr Suite B, Pleasant Hill - 2.51 miles

“This place is a great addition to downtown Pleasant Hill. The vibes are good, staff are friendly and will help recommend a brew to suit your tastes. One thing I would suggest would be to add a pinball table. Epidemic has 2, and I think they draw some regulars, just sayin’!“

Epidemic Ales Brewery • $
150 Mason Cir J, Concord - 7.05 miles

“Writing this review because I live in Anaheim and work at a brewery where one of your brewers stopped by on vacation. I gave him plenty of samples of our beer, and he rewarded my coworkers and I with a few crowlers brewed in your establishment. All the samples he brought were great. I especially recommend the zombrew ipa. Everything you expect from an IPA but very easy to drink. I wish I knew your name but if you were on vacation in SoCal on nov 6, thank you for your energy and I hope to see you when I next visit epidemic the next time I come up north!“

Side Gate Brewery & Beer Garden Brewery •
1822 Grant St, Concord - 4.94 miles

“Cute brewery we tried out for my husband's birthday. Came on a Saturday evening, and wasn't busy at all, plenty of seats. Not a huge parking lot, but there's parking on the street. Very close to Todos Santos park. Cool place with 2 floors, board games to play. Beers were good, but I'm not usually a beer drinker! Hubby and friends liked it. No food served here. But they have food trucks everyday and they bring the food inside for you, which was nice. Indoor and outdoor seating. It was a cool place, I'm sure we'll be back!“

Five Suns Brewing Brewery • $$
626 Main St, Martinez - 8.36 miles

“the beer is good BUT, it would be better if it were as cold as it is at Del Cielo a few blocks away or, at any of the other nearby bar/cantina/saloon establishments . . . ?on the other hand, it's nice that there's often a food truck outside and that they allow outside food, as it seems most most brew houses/local craft breweries do . . .“

701 Escobar St A, Martinez - 8.44 miles

“I found out about this place from my cousin. The vibe was amazing very kid friendly. The beer was even better ! The morena mia was savory and thirst quenching like a perfect amber ale should be! The hazy IPA's here are top notch and the Sneaky AF has the potential to win beer of the year hands down, i will keeping a eye out for where i can buy this more locally.“

Ghost Town Brewing - Laurel Brewery • $
3506 MacArthur Blvd, Oakland - 10.91 miles

“Brewery with delicious food. I went two weekends in a row, I love it! Outdoor seating that's mostly shaded, so it's amazing on a nice day. I recommend a hike in the Oakland hills followed by a stop to ghost town! I've tried one of the burgers, the beet salad, fish tacos, fries, chip, and arancini, and everything is so good! Beers are great too, several IPAs and sours to choose from. And the surprising one for me was the cream ale“

Mare Island Brewing Co. – First Street Taphouse Brewery • $$$
440 1st St, Benicia - 10.83 miles

“After a recent midday trip to Benicia, we were hungry. I have been to several other restaurants on 1st Street and enjoyed them all. I will finish those reviews soon. It was my suggestion to have lunch here. We could leave the car parked and it was a short walk. Happily, it was a good choice. I ordered the Shrimp and Asparagus salad, and it was delicious. The salad consisted of mixed greens, avocado slices, cherry tomatoes, a semi-hardboiled egg, and asparagus topped off with two skewers of grilled shrimp. The Louie dressing was served on the slide. K had the pulled pork sandwich. The interior was pleasant, the bathrooms were clean, and the service was attentive.The Taproom is on my list for a return visit.“

“We heard about this place a while back and we had been curious about it. It was described as "a pizza place that focuses on pairing beers with pizzas". It is that. But it's also more.This place is another example of being able to taste the food and know it was prepared by someone who is passionate about culinary experiences. We had some good recommendations from our server and everything we tried was a notch above good.There's also the fact that some things on the menu were especially unique and like nothing I had ever tried before. The bread bites with chili lime flavor are a great example. I highly recommend those.We both loved the wings and my wife even went as far as saying she thinks these might be her new favorite wings from anywhere.The pie was also fantastic but they change that monthly? Seasonally? It leaves me excited to try the next one but also potentially sad that this one might go away.It was also nice that Jeff came around and had some conversation with everyone and checked to see how we liked the meal.I read some reviews about the prices being a bit high before we came in and my thought on that is that in this case the cost is worth the value of the experience. We have certainly spent more for worse food at other places. No regrets spending the money here where we get such excellent food.“

“We were pleasantly surprised with the food choices and the beer selection. The beer I wanted to try was not on tap but all other beers met our expectations. The falafel plate was great, as well as all the burgers we ordered. Fries, potato salad, and side salad were fresh. The place was not crowded on Friday night after sunset when all the golfers were gone, I guess. Google maps routed us through some back alley but we found the main road on the way out. Plenty of parking and looks like a very secure neighborhood.“

Canyon Club Brewery Brewery • $$
1558 Canyon Rd, Moraga - 6.32 miles

“Went here on a Sunday. I loved how we were seated right away. It was a cold afternoon and they had a large fire place as well as heaters. The food arrived extremely fast. We tried the Brussels sprouts, German pancakes, and chicken tenders. The Brussels sprouts were delicious, the German pancakes were ok, they needed salt. My boyfriend loved the chicken tenders. The beer was also great. We both had flights, I noticed a man was setting up his music to perform a live show. Will definitely come back here.“

Smash Burger

“My mother found this place and told me it's the best Smashburger she's ever had. It didn't take me much time to see if she was right and I'll say this is the best Smashburger I've ever had.Parking: Not much parking, but worth it to park and walk over.“

Danville Brewing Co. Brewery • $$
200 Railroad Ave Suite A, Danville - 7.11 miles

“We had a very enjoyable experience here! My friend and I split a money burger and fried chicken sandwich so we could each try them both. They were both so tasty! We did order the burger medium and it came medium well, no biggie for us. It was still tasty, loaded with flavor. The fried chicken sandwich was also good, crispy and not dry, yummy sauce. Truffle fries were fire as well. Crispy edges, soft middle, great taste. Our waiter was super friendly and a joy to talk to. The ambiance inside is a little loud but lively, it's clean, and there are tv's with games showing. Outside looked nice too, there are heaters. Prices are fair, and great location. Would recommend!“
