74 /100 200 RAILROAD AVE 8 house beers plus 11 guest beers on tap. Almost packed on a Monday night. bb has an insane 117 ratings from Danville, so he must either live next door or own the brewery. 6-7 beers available in cans, so that is what I purchased for ~4/each. Hopefully awesome. Hazy IPAs. |
70 /100 200 RAILROAD AVE Visited after dinner on a Sunday. Nice new spot in the town center of Danville. Street parking or in a large lot across the street. Open larger bar with restaurant space as well as a small outdoor patio. Sleek modern design. 9 house beers along with 6 California guests. Tasters available. Quick service, fun crowd hanging out. 70 = **½ (Locals should check it out, visitors with extended time) I only use the total score, not the component parts. |
76 /100 200 RAILROAD AVE Showed up here for their first or second weekend in business. The place was quite full, but I was ticking solo and was able to catch a seat at the bar.
It's pretty much right in the middle of downtown Danville. Lots of parking around as well as other shops and restaurants. Easily walkable. I ordered a flight of the five beers they had on tap. I thought everything was fine, though nothing really stood out. Didn't try the food. Seemed like upscale bar food (burgers, salads, sandwiches, fries, etc.). They also do have a full bar. The service was quite good, actually, despite the fact it was packed on a Saturday afternoon. I actually haven't been back since that first trip, but mostly because I'm lazy and rarely have a reason to go to Danville. |
78 /100 Pete’s Brass Rail and Carwash (Restaurant) 201 HARTZ AVE I've been here a few times, but never actually reviewed it. Despite the name, this is not actually a car wash.
They have a sizable food menu, though it's mostly bar food kind of stuff--burgers, sandwiches, salads, etc. They have something like 30 beers on tap. Most of them are local Bay Area things (and they do get Russian River). The beer list maybe isn't going to blow your jaded ticker away, but I thought everything on the list was solid...Deschutes, Faction, Altamont, Fieldwork, etc. Prices are reasonable. The service is good. It's got an okay vibe to it. Fun place to hang out. |
78 /100 200 RAILROAD AVE First stop of the day. This is a modern style brewpub in the downtown area of danville. Plenty of free public parking around; no worries there. Fairly large bar in front, seating/dining area around. They have about 10 of their own beers on tap, plus about the same number of local-ish guest taps. Flights available, but they appear to be a fixed set of six of their beers. I was OK with that since I had not been here before, but as a regular that would grind my gears. Service was friendly, prices were reasonable. Did not try the food. Beer quality varied quite a bit, but the good stuff was actually pretty good, which bodes well for the future. |
86 /100 Pete’s Brass Rail and Carwash (Restaurant) 201 HARTZ AVE Cool spot that’s been around forever. No car wash. No brass rails and no Pete. But a large menu, good local tap list she really nice service. Fun place. |
78 /100 The Growler (Restaurant) 515 SAN RAMON VALLEY BLVD. The is my favorite spot in the Danville/San Ramon area now. Nice tap list covering a variety of styles. Food was well above average too! |
70 /100 The Growler (Restaurant) 515 SAN RAMON VALLEY BLVD. Nice little spot that looks like it used to be a Mexican restaurant. Good food, nice staff, and decent beer selection. |
72 /100 The Growler (Restaurant) 515 SAN RAMON VALLEY BLVD. New place off the 680. It’s located in an old building just off the main drag in Danville near Pete’s. This place is pretty cool, but they really need to update the decor inside. Very unexciting and not at all creative. They have a small bar with seating for only about 6. The tap list was surprisingly good with a few unusual locals. I had a black lager from Henhouse that was delicious. They had a bunch of other good stuff too, nothing eye-popping, but all good beers. They have one small cooler with some nicely selected bottles for in house or to take home. They have a good looking menu, but I didn’t try the food on this visit. The service was very friendly and the guy behind the bar seemed to be into the scene and really knew his beers. Kudos for having a full kitchen… I’m getting a little burnt out on taprooms with great beer and no food. Worth a stop if you’re in town, or passing through since there aren’t many other good options nearby. Except for Pete’s. |
70 /100 Pete’s Brass Rail and Carwash (Restaurant) 201 HARTZ AVE A pretty cool hometown kind of place with a small selection of beer and some pretty good food. A good place to catch up with friends. |
72 /100 Pete’s Brass Rail and Carwash (Restaurant) 201 HARTZ AVE Nice little place. Decent selection with a few local breweries highlighted. |
78 /100 Pete’s Brass Rail and Carwash (Restaurant) 201 HARTZ AVE I really liked this place. My boss insisted on taking me here after a conversation about craft beer. I was really impressed with the quick and friendly service and the food was outstanding. I got the pulled pork sandwich with onion rings which were some of the best I’ve ever had. They had about 20 taps with mostly common micro brews, but a few rare gems. They happened to have RR Damnation which was a surprise. Another good one was the Grand Teton double ESB. Also a beer from English Ales out of Marina CA. Nice to see they support some lesser known local breweries. Word has it, it gets pretty rockin on Friday nights with a good, fun crowd. I’ll keep my eye on this one for some good rare local beers. |
62 /100 Pete’s Brass Rail and Carwash (Restaurant) 201 HARTZ AVE The beer selection could be better but has some good beers and nice place to hangout sometimes. |
66 /100 Pete’s Brass Rail and Carwash (Restaurant) 201 HARTZ AVE Decent place with just a bit of ambiance. Pretty full on a Monday night. Just above avaerage beer selection. Good food and service. Good to go there if in the area, but not really a great final destination. |
84 /100 Pete’s Brass Rail and Carwash (Restaurant) 201 HARTZ AVE First time here since before they moved to their current location (at least 10yrs). Man this place cranks through new tap offerings. They have a good dozen or so regulars who have tried well over a thousand different beers by just going here. The food is pub fare that is average or a bit above average from what I could tell. I seem to remember it being better. They have a nice wrap around bar that used to be squeezed into their former location. This place was truly cutting edge back in the early 90s with their unique selection. I saw a Firestone Walker guy and a guy from E. J. Phair while I was there. I like to see that they support Schooner’s and other East Bay brews. This is certainly a place to hit if you want something new to try. |
