Been there once. Don’t really like their beers. Cool place. Didn’t eat. Scary neighborhood.

great industrial big brewery feel. lud and crowded, but lots of room and still feels warm. great location, nothing else quite like it around, decent parking, food is pretty good, better than average. the main highlight is they always have a few seasonals on tap that aren;t in stores, and sometimes even some true limited edition craft brews. if you are stuck in terrible traffic in the maze just get off at gilman and enjoy!

Ran across this by accident on a business trip in December ’08. Nice bar area, maybe 12-15 stools. The beer selection includes many Pyramid brews, and some MacTarnahans... stick with the Pyramid Snowcap and IPA. Mushroom pizza was a winner.

Pretty decent place, and I wish the Bay Area had more places like this. I’ve never been a big fan of their beer, though. And I haven’t taken the tour. But back when I worked a couple blocks away, I would have a burger here once in a while. Not great, but pretty good.

This is a nice brew house and the tour is short but interesting. I’m not the biggest fan of their beers but somehow they seem to taste better at the source. There is a nice selection of food and it is very family friendly. It’s a great place to catch a game (many TV’s) and have a few different brews. I’ll be back.

I like Pyramid. The beers are solid, the building is cool and the food is pretty good.

A large & crowded place. Staff was extremely pleasant & helpful, as well as knowledgable. Food was bad. Mixed bag on beerssome of the beers are drinkable. Really a cool addition to this part of Berkeley, despite the generic food.

Nice selection of dinners and appetizers. Good atmosphere in a very unique setting. Ale selection was a little on the slim side, the best drink I could get was a cask version of their standard winter seasonal. But overall a great place for medium to large get-togethers.
