Here after reading the reviews. Was looking for a good place to grab a quick bite and toss back some brews. Beer list was great, had pitchers of Pliny, and a Old Rasputin on Nitro. Nice selection of beer, with many I cannot get on the East Coast. The food was quality as well, with homemade fries and a great burger. Others in my party said their cajun spice cheesesteaks were great too. The service was just average, and the value was pretty decent. Overall, a great place to stop ini if you are in the area. It is a bit hard to find from the road though.

I think this place compares favorably to the other more well known beer bars in the East Bay. They have a large tap list with mostly good micros. Usually on a given day they’ll have three or four "exciting" beers that you’d have to drive to Oakland to find on tap. The food is good pub grub and the service is good. The servers have only a basic knowledge of the beers, but that OK. If you live in the Livermore/Pleasanton area, this is probably your best bet for beer.

Great beer selection w/ around 30 handles - over half rotate throughout the year hosting seasonal varieties and regional brews. Servers are generally knowledgeable about beer. Food quality is usually better than average. Menu consists of pub grub w/ California flair. Little noisy for conversation at peak hours.

Pretty interesting place. Lots of bottles and cans line the walls. All glued down, most of them full. Decent tap list. Pretty good pizza.

Neat place in an odd location (strip mall kind of hidden from the outside). Pliny the Elder was on tap and I was so excited I didn’t really try anything else. Asked about the cask, but nothing was on. Food was tasty ... typical pub grub, albeit better than expected. Apps were awesome.

They have 30 brews on tap and seemed to be a bit short on local and Nocal craft brews because they were pony-ing up with German and Oktoberfest brews. I did have the best brew of the whole trip here. I was served up about a 10oz glass of Drake’s Rye Wine. YUMMM. They also had Pliney, a couple of Hoptown brews (it would have been cool if they had a couple more, IIPA maybe), Bear Republic and others. They have lots of cans, bottles and tap handles decorating the walls.

Great selection of beers, they even have RR’s Pliny the Elder on tap. Very mellow, fun place. The only downside is the food is not so good. The garlic fries are good but that’s it.
