We were in town for work and decided to stop here for dinner. I absolutely loved the patio space—it looked like the perfect spot to relax. The hostess was super friendly and explained how everything worked. Since it was a little too warm outside, we grabbed a seat indoors, and I really enjoyed the natural light and overall atmosphere.
The food was delicious, and the self-pour beer wall was a great touch with plenty of variety.
The only downside—and this isn’t unique to this brewery—is the growing trend of parents bringing young children (even babies) to breweries and wineries. It’s one thing when kids are quiet and well-behaved, but when they’re screaming, tossing toys, or having meltdowns, it can really impact the experience for everyone else. These places have traditionally been adult spaces, and I think they feel more enjoyable that way.
My advice to parents: treat yourselves to a night out and leave the kids with a sitter—you’ll probably enjoy it more, too. My advice to brewery owners: if families are going to be welcome, consider designating a family-friendly section, similar to how smoking sections once worked. That way, everyone can enjoy the atmosphere in their own way.

The most convenient way to drink varieties of beers paired with one of the tastiest food menus I found in Livermore. The vibe is exuberant & happy. The service is very cordial & prompt. A must visit spot to mingle with family & friends over a beer & sumptuous food.

Reliable self-pour joint with consistently good food. Slightly loud and a bit crammed, but it fits for what they have going here. You might have to share a table if you’re at the high tops on a busy night. Beer selection is good, plus 3 or 4 seltzers rotating regularly.
I normally order double meat, comes out a little shy but don’t mind paying extra. Great sandwiches and apps, and the tots are probably the best in the area. So addicting.

I really enjoy going here to try new beers and to participate in the weekly trivia. However, the food is average, it looks good but it’s kind of boring.
The atmosphere is great, and the servers are so friendly and helpful. The beer selection always has several new additions to try each week and there’s a lot of variety, so everyone can get something they like. The weekly trivia is great but it does get really loud. Also you should arrive an hour before if you want a table, any day of the week, but especially on trivia nights. I highly recommend this place for its beer and trivia nights.
The food is always average and it tastes fine. It’s nothing special but it can be fun to share a gigantic pretzel or get some loaded tots during happy hour.

It seems like everyone is now offering fried chicken sandwiches and I’ve been to many places already trying to find all the best one, and for me this is the place. They have a few types but I always order the spicy one and it’s always very juicy on the inside and very crispy on the outside. It doesn’t hurt that they have around 30 self serve beer/cider taps and a full bar. Because the beer taps are self-serve, You can get as much as you want or as little as you want. It is a casual atmosphere where you go in. Show your ID and credit card to get an open tap going and then go up an order food when you’re ready. Food is great! The staff is great.

Every time I drive past this restaurant, it’s busy and full of people. There are a lot of different kinds of beer, so it is great for alcoholics? There is this whole wall with beer choices to serve yourself. I got the Hops Burger, but sadly, I forgot to take a picture of it I liked how burgers came on a pretzel bun. We also tried the fried ice cream, and I liked the breading on the ice cream. It also came with churros, and I liked how they were crispy. For the service, you order on the kiosk instead of waiters serving you, so the service is average, but at least the workers were nice and friendly. And the atmosphere was chill and cozy as well. Plus, there are board games. Overall, it is an awesome place for food and hanging out with friends.

I feel like this review needs to happen so that people understand what they are getting into, because we didn’t. It was still very nice the person behind the counter was great the person who brought us our food was great but just know this is not a location where your table will be waited on. You go up to the counter let them know what you want and pick up your table number and you can order additional drinks at the bar, they have a full Tap bar for you to get whatever you want, and it was great! But just know what you’re getting into when you want more food you have to get in line again.

Great beer great food! Cool beer place with indoor and outdoor seating. Most recent visit I had a Mexican Amber ale that was great. I also had the Hops Burger which was tasty and filling. It was also one of the juiciest burgers I think I’ve ever had! Needed a lot of napkins but we’ll worth the mess. Fries were awesome as well. They were also nice enough to make a burger patty for my dog and he definitely loved it (though admittedly not the most discerning of palates). Service matched the food. You should definitely give this place a try, good food service and nice spot to hang out.

The best part is the selection of “pour your own” choices of beer. I found a couple of IPA beers (including hazy) that I enjoyed. The fries were good as well. The worst was the hamburger. A hamburger is simple, good meat & let it cook without smashing the flavor out of it. Their cook needs lessons. My burger meat was dry & cooked extra well-done. A “smash burger” refers to the shape of the patty; shaped by being hand “smashed” (irregular edges) then placed on the grill. A “cook” smashes all meat (steak, chicken, burgers) to make it fast without concern of flavor. Hops and sessions has a cook in their kitchen. Avoid the grilled food.
