What a cute place for solo, families, friends, groups, and doggies! All are welcome and there’s enough space for everyone to be comfortable. I came across this wandering after a doctor’s appointment and it’s a lovely area with more shops and restaurants further down. They utilize open seating and there’s a qrs code o the table to order through Toast tab. They have a rotating, seasonal menu, currently Oktoberfest themed. This is a brewery, so they’re drink heavy, limited food but snacks, salads, pizzas are available. I tried the Brattza (bratwurst, sauerkraut, mustard, no onions for me) – sounds weird but it was delicious. I would appreciate a bit more brat on it. I also had the kale salad which had tasty, fresh beets, and the perfect balance of dressing. I had the Aloha slushy, absolutely amazing, I had two. I am not a beer person, so I was pleasantly surprised with the slushy. It was really so good. Overall, neat place, easy service and checkout with Toast tab, great seating, and a fun game area, television, and welcoming to all. I will definitely visit again!

Great place to grab a beer. They have a wide variety of choices. I like coming here for the sours. It’s a great place on a nice day. You can order off your phone with a QR code. They have some covered seating but the rest are outside. Food is pretty good as well but wouldn’t come there just for it. They have bathrooms there as well. Fun place to hang out and grab a drink.

Great spot to enjoy a beer and appreciate the beautiful San Francisco weather. They have many different tap beers to choose from and serve absolutely delicious pizza. In fact, this was some of the best pizza I’ve ever had. The crust is thick but fluffy with lots of toppings. The best part of the pizza is the outside edges. The pizza seems to be pan cooked with crusted cheese all the way up the edges. My coworker and I stopped by on business and I might go back a second night in a row. Absolutely delicious. The kale salad was also amazing and a perfect side to balance the pizza.

Outdoor bar w/heat lamps for the colder nights.
They have a good variety of beers & lately have added some N/A drinks as well.
They have a really good pizza, and some other food, but you can bring other stuff in too
Added bonus for the colder nights-there’s a fire pit
The bartenders are awesome! Friendly, knowledgeable and always visible.

Nice beer selection and good outdoor seating. Lots of different benches and outdoor spaces in this converted shipping container style beer garden.
It’s definitely a corporate vibe but the beer is good and the whole area is so what do you expect. Lots of new apartments nearby, decent parking options at lunch time on street.
The hummus was really tasty but too little quantity for 9 bucks. That’s my reason for taking a star off. I would still come back and. Try other menu items

A great place for a drink and a meetup with friends. It’s an outdoor space but the are umbrellas and heat lamps. Good thing there was no rain and mild temperatures when we were there. Only thing I would have preferred was a TV to watch a game. But that could ruin the atmosphere. I’ll live.
Repeat. It’s a great place for a drink and meet up with friends (not watch TV).

We visited Fieldwork Brewery on a lively Friday evening, and the outdoor space was perfect for a casual night out. The seating is self-service, and you can conveniently scan a QR code to place your order, which makes things easy and efficient. With plenty of heaters and a couple of cozy fireplaces, the atmosphere was comfortable even as the evening cooled down. We tried the Detroit-style pizza, aptly named the “Delivery Boy,” topped with pepperoni, jalapeño, olive, and onion, and it did not disappoint—tasty and flavorful. Service was quick, and the overall experience was great. Definitely a spot we’d recommend!

Non-Alcoholic Delight: A Perfect Encore at Sawdust Festival
Laguna Beach, CA – As the Sawdust Art Festival kicked off its opening day on June 27, 2025, amidst the vibrant artistic displays and the energetic tunes of the Cobra Cowboy duo, I stumbled upon a truly remarkable find: the Fieldwork Encore Hazy IPA non-alcoholic beer.
Poured with a beautiful, lasting head of foam, this non-alcoholic IPA immediately impressed. From the first sip, it was clear that Fieldwork has crafted something special. The “hazy” moniker is well-deserved, with a wonderfully cloudy appearance that promises a full-bodied experience. And it delivered. The taste was simply excellent – rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced, capturing the essence of a quality Hazy IPA without the alcohol.
Enjoying this refreshing brew next to the Cobra Cowboy stage, it truly felt like the ideal complement to the festive atmosphere. It was, in every way, perfect. This is a non-alcoholic beer that doesn’t feel like a compromise; it feels like a genuine, high-quality craft beer experience. I will undoubtedly be seeking out more of the Fieldwork Encore Hazy IPA. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a delicious and satisfying non-alcoholic option.

Overall, a great vibe! They only have outdoor seating, but it’s heated, and you can order directly from your table via their website. For such a small spot, the IPA selection is impressive. The Detroit-style pizzas here are to die for! We got the Fireball pizza. It wasn’t too spicy and was perfectly cheesy. It’s usually crowded after work since there are so many offices nearby, but we always manage to find a seat. Sharing a table with others adds to the experience, too. They also have a clean bathroom.
