Top 5 Beer Bar in California

1936 E 7th St, Los Angeles, CA 90021, United States

“Came and met friends here the other day for happy hour. The hosts and the bartenders are very welcoming and so is the staff. Everyone is very helpful and pleasant. Especially when we come in with someone in a wheelchair and they have to set tables up. We were very appreciative. The food was bar food. A little disappointed on taste of the drinks and the food but we enjoyed the atmosphere and music and the personality of our server. We would definitely give it a second chance.”

9757 7th St #802, Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91730, United States

“This is my first time here at Hamilton Family Brewery and I am impressed with the different types of selection of home-style beers 🍻. Everything that is said about this place is true and correct. The atmosphere is very homely and friendly plus more. I want to say that the Carne Asada fries 🍟 are awesome with the Watermelon Beer that I had 🍉 . I enjoyed everything that my wife and I experienced here. My mom is no longer with us due to covid-19 and we miss her a lot, S she would want us to have fun and be happy. My wife and I are doing our best to make sure we do everything to keep her spirit alive. Thank you very much Hamilton Family Brewery Carne Asda Fries $14.02 2 Beers 🍻 2 Slushies Total $48.00”

3055 Limestone Way, Paso Robles, CA 93446, United States

“A great place to stop for a drink in Paso Robles. Usually food trucks are available for snacks. They have a stage in the back with a mini amphitheater. Unfortunately I haven't seen any music or performances here but it seems to be a nice intimate setting. Bathrooms are very clean, big, and have locks above where little kids can reach so parents will likely feel even more comfortable in bathrooms.”

1314 Ocean Ave, San Francisco, CA 94112, United States

“We were looking for a good food and beer place after watching a movie at the Regal Stonestown Galleria (that's another review), and Ocean Ale House came up. It was about 3 in the afternoon on a Sunday, so the place was pretty empty, but I can see how it would be very popular during prime time. Of course, all the reviews rave about the Fried Potatoes ($9), which we can attest to. It was just two of us, and we maybe ate half a serving. Did I mention it's a large serving? I ordered the BLT ($15), which was fantastic. My wife ordered the salmon salad sandwich, which I can't recall the price of, but she thought it was excellent, with plentiful chunks of fish. The service was excellent, with 3 employees periodically checking on us throughout our visit. Of course, we had to wash it all down with beer, of which they have plenty of from a variety of local craft breweries. Ambience-wise, it's pretty ordinary, but they are in the middle of expanding, so I'll reserve judgment for now. Besides, with such good food, beer and service, who cares what the place looks like!”

12918 Cerise Ave, Hawthorne, CA 90250, United States

“Came here on a Monday after work and it did not disappoint! Parking was descent but the beer selection is great and they have a big selection of flavored beers and IPAs and they were better than expected, beer tender was very helpful and friendly, clean and very modern look inside and outside they have a nice big patio with a grill and cook if you want to buy food, so overall it was a great experience for me and I enjoyed it here too so I highly recommend this spot, oh and the music was great too no 🧢”

9544 Kiowa Rd, Apple Valley, CA 92308, United States

“Great bar with a new owner that dosent know how to run a bar. It's now a concert hall with 3 bars, 3 great bartenders, no bar backs. A doorman checking people in and giving out wristbands, a manager that walked around a lot. (Didn't see him help out a lot but he did buy drinks for his buddy's) I did see bartenders running to other bars for beer that they didn't have.”

2294 N Batavia St STE C, Orange, CA 92865, United States

“Love these cheeky little guys! Frequent collaborators with our local Austin favorite, Pinthouse Pizza, on both barrel-aged stouts and IPAs. Staff really appreciate the beer and took the time to help me figure out favorites. Neat merch and to-go options. Didn't try the food truck, but it was hopping.”

3730 Main St, Riverside, CA 92501, United States

“I recently had the most amazing time at the Lobby in Riverside. Let me tell you, this place is fantastic! As soon as I walked in, I could feel the lively energy in the air. The drinks were absolutely amazing! 🍹 The mixologists really know their stuff. But wait, there's more! They have this awesome lounge upstairs that takes the experience to a whole new level. It's the perfect spot to chill and enjoy your drinks with friends. 🎉 And let's not forget about the location. It's right in the heart of Riverside, which adds to the overall charm. The atmosphere is just fantastic, creating a vibe that you won't find anywhere else. If you're looking for a place that's lively music, serves incredible drinks, and has a great lounge, the Lobby is the spot to be. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!🌟”

2151 Salvio St Suite J, Concord, CA 94520, United States

“This place is Legendary! Craft beer is important, and this place takes that responsibility very seriously. What a perfect venue to enjoy a curated selection of the craft beer industry’s finest pours and bottles! Although the space is small, it is well deigned and takes advantage of every square inch. A combination of indoor and outdoor seating nestled into a historic part of town. They have a combination of drafts and bottles/cans (you can purchase bottles/can to stay or to go), and even if you’re new to craft beer you cannot go wrong with any selection. The service staff are very knowledgeable about all of the products, make great recommendations based on your tastes, and best of all . . . they pour the beers 100% properly - with the appropriate amount of foam, in the correct glassware, at the right temperature. We ordered 8 different beers with our party, so we unintentionally tested this among a broad range of styles. Flawless! Very impressed with this place as it has been on my bucket list for many years. It definitely exceeded all expectations. Cannot wait to return again and again. Cheers!”

527 Fifth Ave, San Diego, CA 92101, United States

292 4th St, Oakland, CA 94607, United States

“Oh, when I walked in and saw those tanks I knew I was in the right place. Fresh craft beer, great selection, super cool staff. The seating is varied, inside has some long tables for groups, booths for more intimacy, a loft and outdoor seating along the front and side. There’s a pop up pizza maker everyday and the pizza is delicious. Thin, tasty crust and fresh ingredients.”

9624 El Poche St, South El Monte, CA 91733, United States

“Service a little slow, but expected. Pandemic service I call it. We're a little rocked due to the pandemic is the underlying cause, not bad management I suppose. Decent beers and the food is ok. Food is not a requirement now folks. I would come back again to see if there is any management to speed up service.”

1136 E Willow St, Signal Hill, CA 90755, United States

“Ten Mile is a great brewery for a chill night. That's simply the vibe I got. They have a small menu if you get hungry too. I do miss when they had less IPAs but the beers are good either way. also have rotating food vendors for events”

3176 Thorn St, San Diego, CA 92104, United States

“This is such a great neighborhood brewery. Great beer, friendly employees and patrons. Dog friendly! Pretty much always have a food truck on site, too.”
