Top 5 Beer Gardens in California

521 E Main St, Visalia, CA 93292, United States

“Ok, so this place doesn’t serve food but they have food trucks that come by so… guess that’s ok. The beer there is great, so many options! Nice open space there. I’ll definitely go back!!”

3191 E La Palma Ave, Anaheim, CA 92806, United States

“Was a huge supporter of brewery X and told a lot of people how great the pizza was ( a little pricey last week) , but met some friends this past Saturday and was absolutely shocked how 1 beer was now $14 dollars ( without a tip mind you!) …”

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.”

2315 K St, Sacramento, CA 95816, United States

“Everyone was so nice to us. They were so sweet and even tho the back wasn't open, they let my daughter take pics of me on the swing and the other guy was able to take our pictures on the swing. Super nice! Great cocktail menu Street parking. 9pm Sundays are silent disco nights. Absolutely 💯 love the decor and photo booth! 📸 Super cute theme too!”

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.”

1315 Research Dr, Redlands, CA 92374, United States

“Great beer, great service! I highly recommend their oat stout, but everything on the menu is worth a taste! They offer activities for the family, including disc golf on occasion. Lots of seating, and bunch of parking around the neighborhood. Food nearby and can be delivered. Will be coming back again.”

826 Professor Ln #100, Sacramento, CA 95834, United States

“Great beer and definitely a good time. Stop here to pick up a 4 pack or chill for a couple hours and sip of some amazing beer. Great outdoor seating area covered and not covered food truck most the time and just an over all great experience. I’d definitely recommend this place to anyone just stopping by or staying”

5328 Banks St A, San Diego, CA 92110, United States

“Got here today, Sunday evening and I wish I found this place sooner!!! Pizza Cassette has of course pizza, sandwiches, and more AND ICE CREAM… my pup loved the vanilla!!! The band is great and so much fun!!! Deft beer is delicious!!! Great find will be back!!! There is wine and mead as well!!! Such an amazing spot!!!”

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.”

1960 Adeline St, Oakland, CA 94607, United States

“Ghost Town’s beers are as tasty as the brewery itself is metal. And the brewery is pretty metal. They’ve got more beers on tap, with tons of variety, than you could reasonably consume in one sitting (though that would be kinda metal too I guess). Awesome beers, awesome space, awesome staff. Give them a visit. 🤘🏻 …”

224 Vintage Way, Novato, CA 94945, United States

“HopMonk Novato is one of my favorite restaurants and music venues. It’s conveniently located off the 101 highway, near Target and Costco warehouses with plenty of parking available. The food offered is very good, as are the beer options! I love to get their own HopMonk IPA, and they usually have Pliny the Elder on tap! HopMonk Novato has a Session Room and a beer garden, both used to host concerts of nationally touring acts, most of them are quite known! KC Turner presents a series of Cookout Concerts in the beer garden, and they are very successful. Kudos to the man, he is doing amazing work! I usually attend more than 100 shows a year at different venues, and concerts at HopMonk Novato are always among the best ones. This place is just sensational. Make sure to get tickets to the next show there before it's sold out!”

1260 1st St, Napa, CA 94559, United States

“We stopped by during Christmas Eve to enjoy brunch. We ended up at the best place to spend our afternoon. The atmosphere, the server and the food all met our expectations. I want to also thank our server for offering to take photos of us before leaving. We will definitely be back.”

3514 Adams Ave, San Diego, CA 92116, United States

“I've been coming here since the twenty tens, and they carry the spirit of the old neighborhood. Great beer, (dog)friendly atmosphere as well as games. I always stop by when I'm nearby.”

500 J St, Sacramento, CA 95814, United States

“My friends and I have enjoyed this rooftop lounge. We've mostly just ordered drinks with a few food dishes mixed in here and there. They've done a great job seating us and providing solid service throughout. It's never been too crowded, but still a good amount of people always. It's also not too loud that you can't enjoy conversation, but still enough to enjoy the vibe and atmosphere.”

5275 Craner Ave, Los Angeles, CA 91601, United States

“This place is incredible! Fantastic beers and a nice large airy space. There is a lovely mezzanine above the main taproom, and a good amount of space on the patio for large groups. The beer is absolutely top notch. I cannot overstate this. Please go try their beer right now! NoHo Boho and Magic Hour are great places to start. If they have a dark beer on the menu, don’t skip it. Food vendors frequently work with the owner and provide some tasty eats! Check the website or Instagram for the latest. Parking can be a little tricky on busy nights but it’s worth it. Enjoy!”

Please call for Tasting Room Hours, 1241 Linda Vista Dr, San Marcos, CA 92078, United States

“Wow. Was heading home one day and thought I’d swing in for a quick beer. Absolutely loved everything about this place. Amazing beers, great people. Will be coming back often. Highly recommend”

8179 Center St, La Mesa, CA 91942, United States

“Came here on a weekend afternoon to try some beers. There are picnic tables outside and they had a Mexican food cart in front of the brewery. This is a nice brewery tucked away in La Mesa. Unfortunately I didn’t care too much for the beer selection that they had, there was nothing that really well with me, but I really enjoyed the location and the staff were very friendly. I will pop in another time when the tops rotate to try out some more beers.”

1301 Ocean Ave #1019, Santa Monica, CA 90401, United States

“Well-designed bar with incredible views. We enjoyed watching the sunset here while sipping on a tasty cocktail. They have blankets for when it’s cold, yay!”
