Here's the deal... This is a serious ale house for people who love great brews! The Nebula is some serious good stuff and the Jolly Rodger 2013 is the Bomb! Taste, sample & enjoy!
A great place to go for beer and they also have food trucks on various days. First Fridays are hella fun with live music food and outdoor seating. Grab a growler to go!
TonyJune 23, 2017A beer lover's paradise. Many different types and styles of beer on tap plus a food truck that offers some tasty bar food. They also have a huge patio with lots of seating to chill at on a nice day.Upvoted 1 week ago
Dustin McVeyApril 17, 2017I love this place. The staff here are super chill and down to earth. Very helpful and knowledgeable in regards to beer selection and flavor profiles. Oh... and the beer is amazing too!!!
C. WaltersAugust 15, 2014Overall solid. Standard styles for the new craft beer drinkers and some nice innovative ales for the more seasoned, extreme enthusiast.
Foursquare wants to know how my visit to Drake's was, I drank beer, the beer was good. The staff was attentive and friendly. I recommend the beer, it's very good.
Dorothy DJuly 28, 2013Well hidden gem with a stunning array of beer. Try the sampler tray of 5 for starters. There's usually a food truck nearby for tasty vittles. Don't drink and drive!- Great outdoor seating, friendly staff, IPAs are the best. They have great limited releases and ciders, always a yummy food-truck parked outside.
Helen 🍩October 5, 2011Hoppy is my thing. The 1500 IPA is seriously one of the best IPA's I've ever tasted. Don't hold back on doing the "sampler" menu though too.
Ross DonahueOctober 1, 2014Great place to go and relax!You can sit inside or outside. Their beer is excellent and they always have a wide array to choose from.
Ann LMarch 30, 2018Really enjoyed the Drake’s IPA and the food was good although it took over an hour to get it!
Beers available in a variety of pours (tastes, half, and full pints) and to go in kegs, 6-packs, bombers, and growlers.- david hughesMarch 22, 2015The pulled pork sandwich is Danky Dank Dank! Lots of good beers on tap! Plus Live Music.
- What isn't good here? Amazing beer lineup. Plenty of space indoor and outdoors. Food trucks and vendors weekly. Friendly staff.
Watch for cask and barrel aged offerings. But of their regular beers 7x70 and Dry Stout and Drakonic are my favorites.
Awesome place! It's like my second home, lol if you ever see Mind Trick on the tap list, strongly suggest you try it!
Christine CoolieoAugust 7, 2014The beer is good and the outside patio is an awesome way to spend an afternoon or evening.- John HeckJuly 13, 2019Great beer selection... almost one of every type... and really great barrel aged program... 1st class in my book...
MylesSeptember 1, 2013A real gem right here in the east bay! Their beer is good, even better from the source-- standard bar prices.
Great beer; now serving food in house; spotty parking if it's busy.
Steve BelmontAugust 25, 2014The outside patio is a great place to enjoy a beer and a bite from the food truck.
Nathan JSeptember 20, 2019Great place to kick back with friends. Lots of outdoor seating and always good beer- Sit outside and watch the small planes pass overhead on the approach to Oakland Airport.
Fritz BoyleMay 7, 20121st fridays are a blast. be prepared by bringing your reusable glass & then refills are only $2.50!
Don't stand in line...they don't believe in them. Walk straight up to the bar
Sara TaylorAugust 1, 2016Did not have a good experience here. The Hefeweizen had a medicinal taste to it - not good. Our sever was attentive and friendly though. Overall, would not recommend.
Joshua CareyJune 3, 2011Come here early on the first of the month and try a couple of beers and support a good cause
Ann HangerApril 6, 2013For first Fridays, there are many beer lines so don't get stuck in the longest one!
- Carla RichardsonSeptember 12, 2013kind of tricky to find -- it's not so much behind the walmart as next to it (I went in circles the first time looking)
Great beer, but the top 40 music of the 80's has to go.
