Barebottle Brewing Company - Santa Clara

This is a very good brewery! We stopped in for a flight and it was one of the best flights we've had. We liked not just the snifter pours and aluminum base but the beers were great. They had a lot on tap and while it seems IPA's are their forte they also had good beers in other styles. A deep beer list with a lot of quality. The location was very nice. It is a big space. As a brewery highly recommended for the beer. Great location and space too. We wished we had time for more than just a flight!

Great vibe with tables on one side to chat with your folks, a bar area to sit and work, and an area with old school arcade games and a pool table. There’s also a cozy seating area with couches and a coffee table. Great beer that rotates and the bartenders are extremely knowledgeable and descriptive about their stock of beers (shoutout to Matthew!). Would definitely recommend checking out this spot, great to socialize with a big or small group, to get work done, and to play some OG games! Really enjoyed my experience here!

Great atmosphere and chill vibe - seems like a very “young professionals” vibe. The beer itself was a bit underwhelming. They do well with hazy IPA’s and hoppy pilsners, but every other style was not particularly impressive to me. They had a lager on draft - Audalicious - that was sour…I don’t know if it was an intended sourness or not. The beer descriptions are lacking so who knows? I also am not a fan of their flight setup. 5 pours of 5oz each for $25 - that’s basically $1 an ounce and that’s way too much for beer. Plus the flight holders were not very steady and my giant glasses wobbled around when I picked it up. It would be nice if they had glassware actually designed for flights - instead, the beertender is just eyeballing 5oz and I have to trust him. If I’m in the area again, I may give them another chance but I definitely won’t ever get a flight again

Loved it. I'm a regular at the Bernal (SF) location and was looking forward to this all day while working in Santa Clara for the day. It did not disappoint. Airy, friendly, great beers, and they even have empanadas to snack on!

If you're looking for a great spot to spend quality time with friends, loved ones, or colleagues, look no further! This venue is spacious, clean, and unpretentious, with friendly staff to boot. While I'm not much of a beer drinker, my friend raved about the delicious selection of available beers. If you need help deciding which beer to try, you can request a sample before making your final decision. While the food selection leans more towards appetizers than full meals, the empanadas and pretzels are delicious. If you're a fan of mushrooms, I highly recommend trying their mushroom empanada. Alternatively, you're also welcome to bring your own food. Overall, this is an excellent place to catch up with friends and enjoy some good food and drinks in a comfortable setting.

Review update as of June 2024: Still a great place to have some good beers. But, though they've finally expanded their food menu, (and nothing against joyride pizza) they no longer have a 'quick small bite' option. I used to be able to get an empanada for a bite to go with my beer, now the only option is a whole pizza, which in their words is sized for 2-3 people. Yeah, they have salads and a couple of "starters" but that's not quite the same. Too bad they don't offer single slices. ‐------------- Old review: Good beer and freshly made empanadas! Nice patio and appropriate precautions for safe drinking & dining.

Favorites: Hazy IPA and Beef & Mushroom empanada. The best tap room in the area. Their beer selection is awesome. Hazy IPA and everything else, even non alcoholic drinks.

Awesome spot with lots of different styles of beers. Omar's great - super friendly and knowledgeable about what they've got on tap. Pet-friendly patio on the side too.

I enjoyed my time at Barebottle Brewing. This is a really cool hangout spot to come with friends or even a date night. I enjoyed the arcade games and the food was pretty good. For the beers I tried "Any Beans Necessary", and it was pretty good. It had a good flavor and coated the mouth when drinking. There were hints of the vanilla but went down with a crisp taste in my opinion. I'd highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a spot with lots of options for beers or hanging out with friends and loved ones.

Probably our favorite brewery in the state. Ever since this location, we've been huge fans of Barebottle and have had tried 123 of their beers (that we know of ). One of the things we love so much about Barebottle is that they not only have a huge selection of beers on tap ALWAYS, but they're all always delicious. And although they don't have a full kitchen on site, their empanadas are . Add in the huge seating areas and vintage arcade, and it's definitely a must visit!

My party of 4 came for their Trivia Tuesday night. It looks like they bring an outside party to help with it called Head Trivia. It's super fun, and the trivia was kinda hard! Coming from a frequent Jeopardy viewer. There are 4-5 questions every round, and you can get points for guessing the artist and year for the song playing during the round. They also had some bonus rounds and karaoke rounds! The beers are decent! They allow outdoor food so we brought some pizza from next door.

We discovered this Brewery after deciding not to hike cause it was pouring (like literally thunder-lightning level). Barebottle (kinda sounds like "Blue Bottle" now that I think about it) provided refuge on a somewhat gloomy day. I especially liked how spacious the place was with natural lighting coming through the wide windows. They have tons of tables and a small couch area that provide the perfect opportunity to chat/relax/connect. Oh, and they also have a small arcade area (sweet). Music is on loud at a reasonable level. They have beers on tap (ipas, pilsners, stouts, etc) as well as both coffee and food. We got the following: Small Wonder Dust, and the Doom Bloom. I got to try the Small Wonder Dust that was a lighter beer that had a strong citrus taste. The Doom Bloom was much stronger/thicker with a hint of guava (that's what I noticed at least). Overall, service was fine. I really liked the ambiance.

Went here to grab some drinks and hang out. They had a pretty big selection on beer so there's lots to try. They had indoor and outdoor seating. Pretty nice and chill vibe. It has a pretty big space. There's a lot you can park and depending on where you park there might be a 2 hour limit so watch out. But pretty nice place!

Great vibes + they have trivia on Tuesdays. I like that they allow you to bring your own food since their non-alcoholic and non-drink options are super limited. But docking a star bc they don't enforce no smoking/vaping indoors. I ended up spending the trivia night cloaked in a suuuper strong, pretty unbearable stench of weed from a party nearby. Not the most positive experience, but willing to give it another try because I just got super unlucky during this visit.

Came here for trivia night on Tuesdays and it was a pretty fun experience! Drinks at the bar were decent price and pretty standard tasting. The bar itself is decently spacious with cafeteria/picnic bench seating, so expect to share tables if you don't come in huge groups. The trivia itself was also pretty fun, though it was sometimes hard to hear the host over everything else going on. I do wish there was bar food but Mountain Mike's is right next door in case you get hungry. Would come back for another round of trivia!

Awesome brewery with amazing beers on a rotating menu. Definitely recommend barebottle for the tasty brews, but also they have a small arcade/pinball area. It is clean inside with picnic style tables and they have a few outdoor seating as well. It is dog friendly so you may see dogs inside and outside on the weekends! The negatives about barebottle is that they often run out of some of the beers and keep taking it off the menu through the day. Also, people can book the arcade area and tables and it seems to be booked every time I go so they block it off and won't let the public use the arcade/pinball machines. Still def work going for the brews, nice selection anytime you go!

This is one of my favorite places in the area to take coworkers out for a small bite and good beer. The inside is mainly first come first serve and some larger tables for reservations. It is usually not crazy busy but when we came last, we had to sit outside but luckily they had a heated area. You order at the bar for food and beer. Pretty quick service and they bring the food out to you. The empanadas are really good even though they are Argentinian style. Highly recommend. I believe they even allow outside food.

Came for a work session and we did a little reservation of their sofa area. If you're a big beer drinker, this is the place to go - they have a bunch of options (with fun flavors) + arcade games. Sadly, I'm not one of those and had to come here because of a work with some teammates. I did try their flatbread and empanada and both were really mediocre. I probably wouldn't get these again because they seemed to be grocery store freezer quality and was simply reheated. Totally understand though because a place like this is focused on the alcohol and the food is just the little munchies. Anyways, glad I tried this place but probably wouldn't come again.

Came here on a Saturday night and the atmosphere was bustling, but friendly and chill. Even though we had a group of 8, we were still able to find seating. Each group kind of does their own thing. I saw some groups playing board games, at the arcade, or just sitting. For indoor seating there were barstools and polished wooden benches. You can also bring outside food in and there's a pizza place next door. Parking can be found in the plaza over in front of the Whole Foods! You can tell by looking at their menu that it's carefully curated! My friends wanted to bring me here for a nice birthday hangout and even though I don't usually drink beer, I thought the selection of beer we got for the flights were not bad. In particular, I enjoyed both the sours we had: key lime pirate and unsinkable titanic. For the flights you can select 5 beers and they fill the glasses about halfway so it's super worth the price in my opinion. The staff here are also really nice and open to providing recommendations when asked! They also have wine, snack food, and non-alcoholic drinks. One friend got the ginger hibiscus soda and thought it was good. Other friend got the sparkling hop water and said it reminded her of the sparkling Liquid Death water. Overall, I would definitely come back here and recommend to friends!

Overall really cute and fun experience. We went for a birthday and had a few tables reserved, we were allowed to bring our own food which was nice. Tons of tap options and everybody really enjoyed their options. There's games which is cool. tons of seating. Great customer service. This would be a really fun place to come in the summer.

Came here with a friend to get some computer work done. I really enjoyed the location. Parking wasn't too much of a challenge and they have a nice variety of beers to choose from. There are some arcade games available if you need to take a break and their food looks pretty good as well. I didn't actually eat anything while I was there, but I saw some of the food that others ordered. The ordering process and service are pretty quick. A nice, clean, casual spot to get some work done, gather with friends, and/or decompress. Definitely would go there again if I was trying to get some work done in the evening.

Probably my favorite breweries for their Hazys! I tried Barebottle out at a taproom, and fell in love with the hazy there. Unfortunately, I don't think they carry that one anymore. Swung by this location once I found out there was a Barebottle close to me! This is a nice spot with quite a bit of indoor seating and some fun games. We got: -Very Best Bad Things Hazy DIPA - 8.4%ABV $9 for a full pour -El Dorado Bravo Hazy IPA -6.4% $9 for a full pour Beers are a bit on the pricier end, but their Hazys are super good! Hope to try their SF spot soon. Plaza parking or you can park in the garage across the street. Hoping my basketball high score is still up there next time I go :D

We went here last week during trivia and it was a vibe! We shared a flight amongst two and the vibes were immaculate. Trivia was so fun, the questions were tough but people were singing and dancing and all around very positive atmosphere. The one thing I didn't like was that the menu didn't have prices. A flight is 27 and some change after taxes, which we didn't realize from walking in. Got a whole variety of drinks, mostly light beers and 1 stout. Overall, the taste was okay, but mostly would come back for the trivia and vibes.

Oh my jolly golly mirst f***in' Molly. This place. Ya gotta come here. This isn't so much a review as it is a Command. You WILL COME HERE!! Aight, aight, let's boogie - I was stupefied by how awesome this place is! Really nice interior, awesome little outdoor patior, yadda yadda. But there beer selection... HoooooOOOOoooOOooo the selection, baby! It's enough to, well, get you very inebriated if you have the coin. Trust, my love, you got the coin. And if you don't, then get your butt on the corner and ya know "get it." EEEeeeeehhhh!!! ^______^ Anyway, if I'm not the Duke of this place real soon I will consider myself a failure and I guess I'll just have to stay on the corner cuz that's all I'm good for anymore!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! They might have food, I dunno. I'm on the liquid diet cuuuuuuuh ;)

Barebottle Brewing Company is slightly hidden on the side off of Augustine Drive in Santa Clara. Also didn't realize there's a parking structure right across the street! There's street parking but make sure you pay attention to the signs, there's some areas where you need a parking pass/permit to park. I love how they have both indoor and outdoor seating. They even got a section in the back with some arcade games. Only thing is most of their tables are large bench seating tables so for smaller groups, you may need to share with others. They do have food available but their kitchen closes early. Cool thing is they have coupons for a pizza joint and you can bring in the pizza to dine in! We came here to celebrate a friends birthday, lounge and catchup so we went with a beer flight to share- who doesn't like variety?! They have a large selection of unique sours, ciders, and beers I haven't seen elsewhere. Definitely would come back to try out their other drinks!

This is a pretty solid place to hang out and catch up with friends! They have a decent selection of drinks and even have nonalcoholic drinks. I believe they're known for the sours which I used to love but my tastes have changed and prefer their other drinks now. Love that they do flights- what a great way to try a variety of drinks. I recently got to try their empanadas and it was pretty good. I love that it had actual pieces of beef inside instead of ground beef. I do wish they still had their slushys! I was looking for it recently but they didn't have it that day. Bummer. Would still return and can def see this being a go to spot for summer

Great beer spot in Santa Clara! I've been here many times, in small/large groups and solo. It's a great location and setting for all the above, and the beer never disappoints. They have a great selection and the menu clearly spells out what they offer. Reasonably priced as well. I believe they have a small food menu, but also close to lots of food nearby that you're welcome to bring in. I've found it to be a great study spot too!

My sisters and our SOs came to Barebottle for trivia Tuesday. It was quite an experience, and although I would go back to this place for some drinks, I will not be returning for trivia night. Three of us came here early so that we could grab a table. Parking was a nightmare. We tried to find parking in the plaza with Sprouts but holy heck that was never going to happen. We ended up parking in Santa Clara Square parking garage which was shady since we could not find a single sign regarding parking prices UNTIL you went out the exit. No matter, we found parking and got to the place around 6:30PM. The place was PACKED. It took us 10 minutes, but luckily we found a table to accommodate 6 people. We ordered some drinks and food. I'm a newbie to drinking so my oldest sister got a flight so that I could try out different beers and see what I liked. We got the (1) mad chai-entist, (2) citra powered jetpack, (3) galactic sour drip, (4) twilight suds, and (5) under ground gems. The mad chai-entist was a pretty unique drink that my sister and I enjoyed since we like chai. My favorite though was the galactic sour drip, closely followed by the under ground gems. My BIL ordered pretzels and beef empanadas. The pretzels in hindsight were probably not special and maybe a little hard but I thought they were REALLY GOOD with the mustard. I didn't eat too much of the empanadas but my BIL was raving for it. My other sister ordered a hibiscus soda which was pretty good. Now, onto trivia night review. As a general overview, there are a 20 rounds with multiple parts to answer. In each round, they also play a song related to the theme of that round and you get some points for guessing the artist and the release year. The organization of this was...interesting. Each group gets a white board; you write your answers on it and bring it up to the MC where they'll announce how many points you earned. I didn't have a huge problem with this until there was a couple of rounds where you got more points if you were the first to get there. That just puts a huge disadvantage to people sitting further away. Additionally, there were some tech issues with one of the speakers that put certain people at more of a disadvantage and the response to that was a "well I don't know what to tell you". Also, this is TRIVIA night. There were a couple rounds where they had a "sing-off" and "dance battle" where you got more points based on applause. As my sister's bf commented, it felt like a high school popularity contest. It really was! It wasn't fair if you had more people in your group to hype you up, and this didn't have anything to do with trivia. Anyways, after trivia, the place started to slowly clear out so we decided to go to their game/arcade section. We shot some hoops and played eight-ball. We had a lot of fun with this. We all agreed that we were not coming back here for trivia night. However, I would be down to come back here for a fun hangout with friends. It's also nice that they allow outside food in. Outside of trivia, the only issue was parking. Additionally, the place was also really loud so it was hard to hear what people sitting next to me were saying. The atmosphere is inviting though, and there's an extensive menu so I would love to try out their other beers sometime.

This place is so fun! They have a lot of beer and cider options at a pretty good price. The Catalina and the Berry drinks are not too sour or taste too much like beer. I'm not big on beer but the bartender recommended drinks that worked pretty well for me! The place is very bright and open and pretty packed. There's some food as well but not as extensive of a list as their drinks. Trivia Tuesdays here are super fun! They outsource it to HeadGames Trivia, but the energy is so happening. Everyone was super into it and the trivia was VERY entertaining, if not a littttttle too long. They have some branches around the Bay Area, so definitely check it out! Super fun!

4.25* (out of 5) Food: 4* Atmosphere: 5* Value: 4* Service: 4* 04/14/2023 Stopped in with friends while visiting the area and really enjoyed our stop. It is located in a very nice area and is very open, modern and clean. The beer selection was great (see picture) and we each enjoyed a shared Flight (see picture) with our spouses. We also ordered a salted pretzel with mustard sauce (sorry, no picture) and all of us would recommend ordering one to enjoy with your beer - very tasty and a good, savory complement to your beer.

I love this place! What a discovery...we've been coming to this center for years but never saw this place. A very chill place, with a great selection of beers....and more hazies than offered at other breweries. We came a few times during this most recent trip to Santa Clara. The empanadas and pretzels are good, but the beer is the centerpiece. This shopping center has some great restaurants, and you can bring food in. They have 4 large screens for different sports....the niners looked good! There were lots of games in back... we'll try those out on our next trip up there. And the people working there are so frickin nice. This is going to be a new regular spot for us.

Bar bottle brewing company has a large collection of smooth stouts and crisp lagers. I went here for an after business meeting treat and was surprised with how spacious it was. The places has Seasonal specials keep things fresh, and you'll always find a favorite or something new to try. I went to the the Santa Clara one. I can never make up my mind so I ordered a flight. It's like a little tour of their best stuff, and the staff knows their stuff. They'll chat you through the beers, so you don't feel lost. I totally recommend the Hazy IPA and Beef & Mushroom empanada. The staff here is okay. The guy who pour my beer at first gave me waaaaaaaay to much foam, so I asked for another pour. He looked at me as if I was crazy. The other staff were friendly, always ready to help, and they know their beers. Whether you're a beer pro or just getting into it, they make you feel at home. In a nutshell, If your in the area and want a good beer which some are inspired by gummy bears, or ginger bread men...then you found your go to spot. I personally like other beer spots, but you cant beat the variety they give out here. Did I mention they have a Street fighter 2 trouble machine here?

Nice spot to get some beers and chill with your friends. Lots of indoor seating, some pinball machines in the back and empandas if you got the munchies. Located in the plaza with Whole Foods parking is pretty difficult in this plaza but there is parking structure across the street

They impressed me with their delicious porter and IPA. These brews are a highlight, crafted with care and flavor. While there's room to enhance the ambiance and service, it's definitely a spot to satisfy your beer cravings.

Rounding this up in terms of star quality because it's such a chill spot to meet up with friends! They have arcade games in one area and a casual dining area on the other side. I ordered the beer flight and it was so worth it! They didn't skimp on the pours. They have a wide range of beers: sour ale, pale ale, IPA, hoppy, lighter, darker, and so much more. I ordered the Acai-U-Later, Grand Tiki, The Steiner Things, Liquid Hot Mango, and Rainbow Road Shortcut. Loved the Grand Tiki the most. The only food option that they have here are empanadas. You're allowed to bring outside food in, so be prepared if you'd like to get Halal Guys (next door) or bring snacks from home. The staff members were knowledgeable about the beers, so feel free to ask them about their favorites!

Such a fun spot! ... and I don't even drink beer! Lots of beers and flights to choose from that my husband was happy with. They do offer one white and one red one so I at least had that... the red was fine- though served in a beer glass. Some snacks as well- we had a salted pretzel that was pretty good. Pretzel flavors vary each day, they also had a cheese one, as well as empanadas! Spacious seating, mainly picnic tables. Loved the arcade area which had a ton of neat pinball machines and a pool table. Bring cash to change into quarters. Most games were a dollar. I also loved that so many people brought there young kids... hey, us parents need a drink too (and arguably moreso....)

Cute hangout spot!! Pretty spacious area. Lots of tables inside to play board games or just chat with friends. An arcade area in the back with Pac-Man and various pin ball machines. I definitely recommend the 5 beer flight for $20. Good value and easy to share with friends, especially if you can't decide what to order! My favorite was the Sour Patch Super Shandy. If you like sours, it's pretty good! An individual pour is about $7-8. They also have cans of coke for the non-alcoholic friends :) Trivia night is every Tuesday at 7 PM! It is hosted by a local teacher, so she is very personable and kind. The speaker system is not great quality, so it is difficult to hear her speak if you sit toward the back of the brewery.

TLDR: Beer flights, arcade games, and Trivia Night Tuesdays!! Pretty cool place to stop by after eating dinner or hanging out with a group of friends! Lots of space and arcade games to play in the back. They have 4 player Pac-Man and a pool table! The beer flight is perfect to share with your friends, especially if you don't want to drink too much but want to have something to sip on. The beer flight reminded me of wine tasting since all of us were trying to figure out the taste of each beer xD. There's trivia night every Tuesday hosted by Mack Marie around 7 PM. She was very kind, friendly, and kept the energy going! There were a few tech and sound issues happening during trivia night but that was out of her control. I recommend trying to find a table closer to the front so you can hear everything better! For parking, I just parked at Whole Foods and walked over. The area is pretty safe to walk around!

A new favorite hangout spot for groups! It's been a while since I've been to a brewery or taproom and this one really reminded me of how much I love them! They have tons of options to choose from and I have yet to try a sour ale I didn't like. They also serve beer flights: 5 pre-selected seasonal beers for $22 or you can choose your own and they charge per beer/pour. My group also ordered food which was brought out to our table. We got both the cheese and salt pretzels, the chicken empanadas, and they came with a variety of different sauces. Perfect for sharing! Staff is super friendly and amazingly quick even with the rush of customers. They also have arcade games! I love a local bar-cade and I was so excited to see this place not only have pinball machines, but shooting and racing games, hot shots basketball, Pac-Man, and a pool table. Another fun detail is their wall of past beers from their menu board. It's so fun to read the clever names they came up with, along with the fun designs. They're located next to Tender Greens and street parking here is atrocious, but there's the Whole Foods parking lot and a retail parking garage right across the street and the first three hours are free! No validation needed.

My girlfriend and I went to Barebottle brewery this afternoon for a beer. We ended up staying for three hours. Service was wonderful. We had a few different beers that were all great, we also enjoyed some light snacks and played boardgames. Was a wonderful experience, and we will definitely come here again

This place gives me all the pre-Covid vibes. As in: a whole bunch of mask-less people hanging out on communal benches as if the kids pandemic never happened. Maybe my fully-vaxxed system gave me a false sense of security or maybe it was the few cocktails at Pacific Catch that were consumed prior to heading here, but we went for it. Ordering is pretty simple. All of their drinks are displayed on a massive board behind the counter (keep those glasses in your purse) and one it's your turn you can walk up to any of the registers and get your drink. They will even let you sample them, if you'd like. So a thumbs up for that. I should have sampled the Riesling I bought, because it tasted like a Chardonnay. One you grab a drink, go play some pinball or pool, or just take a seat and enjoy your drink among good company.

This is the closest brewery to my work, and it is a good one! Great beer, great atmosphere. We will be coming here more than once that is for damn sure.

Really enjoyed coming here. They had some great brews. Service was good and it had a chill ambiance.

I'm just rating on the beer and the service. There were several beer options. I got one on the sour side (not sure of the name - something tangerine) and the boyfriend got the liquid hot mango. I did enjoy his. Mine was pleasantly refreshing with a hint of vanilla. The person who helped us was friendly and gave some good suggestions.

Spacious indoor seating with a nice, small outdoor seating as well. I enjoyed my tango tropico and they have an extensive menu with a couple wine choices as well. I read another review that they also have cans of coke? which I think is nice for those who may not want a beer but still want to hang out with friends. Food options include pretzels and empanadas. Curious to come back for a trivia night!

This place was bustling! Very good energy and vibrant atmosphere. We were lucky to find an empty table right next to the ordering station. Service was friendly and prices were decent. They have a wide variety of beers to choose from the tap. Definitely swing by if you have a large group.

Barebottle has been our go-to brewery since pre-covid. We've made a lot of good memories here. Our tradition has always been parking in front of Wholes Foods, buying their hot foods, and walking over to Barebottle to eat and drink. We've seen many others grabbing Chipotle, Halal Guys, Sweet Greens, and many more before heading over. They have a wide selection of beer: lagers, pilsner, pale ale, west coast ipa, hazy ipa and many more. We usually open a tab since we never have just one drink. This place is great for many occasions. Good place to go on dates. A place to hang out with friends at the arcade area. We've seen Trivia Nights being held there (I think Tuesday?). A lot of people come over after work with coworkers to chill. Perfect for watching the game. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Indoor, they have a good amount of benches that can be shared or side tables. And outside they have heaters so you're never cold.

A little hidden gem! I came across this brewery while in the area and doing a simple Yelp search. My colleagues and I just ate at Puesto which was in the same general area and we walked right over to Barebottle! Immediately, we were amazed by the arcade games, the pool table, and the overall vibe of the place! It was Tuesday, and we came right at the end of their Tuesday trivia. I was sad that we missed it, but everyone seemed so engaged. I definitely would have to come earlier next time to participate in Trivia! I even read that some nights they have karaoke. I am overall glad that there is a place in this area with this kind of vibe and social scene. I am not much of a beer drinker, but I had the Dream Waves (Pale Ale? I could be wrong...) and it was good! I enjoyed it. It was nice and light, and did not have much of that beer taste to it. The seating arrangement was nice with the picnic style seating so you feel really casual speaking with your company. Tons of parking can be found in the next plaza over and its a short walk from there. The area is really nice and great to take friends, colleagues, or even a date. A great casual area that I hope stays around.

Pro tip: Trivia night is held on Tuesdays and there's several parking garages located across and on the side of the brewery! Depending on the garage you may get 2-3 hrs of free parking. Reasonably priced, tons of sitting space and a good selection to choose from! As opposed to other breweries, this one had great lighting and felt very open. In terms of beer, there were choices from IPAs to ciders. I came here for trivia night and was pleasantly surprised by the turnout and production this brewery put on. There was an emcee and trivia lasted for ~2 hours with several prizes awarded including a 6 flight of beers, $10-$30 gift cards to the brewery. Definitely check it out!

First time at Barebottle. Came here on a Sunday evening with my boyfriend. I'm not much of a drinker but decided to tag along. My boyfriend ended up getting a beer drink that had coffee in it. I'm not sure what the name was. I think it could be Irish Nitro. The only non alcoholic drinks they had here are sodas, water and Koga Kola (hibiscus soda). Also there are only two types of food served here. The pretzels and the empanadas. We opted for the beef empanadas. They were really good. I totally missed out on eating these before because I never had them. I also liked the hibiscus soda drink. I never tried it before and I enjoyed it. This place was nice and clean. You can even buy some merchandise. They have pool table and some arcade games too.

Spacious taproom with a large selection of Barebottle beers on tap! I stuck with my usual sour at first and tried "Lemon Pound Shake" which was really good (kinda reminded me of lemonhead) and ended the night with a pale ale. The place was packed on a late Wednesday night. Friendly staff also! There's a parking garage (with EV chargers) right across the street, and there's also a parking lot in the Whole Foods parking lot near by (usually a mess).

Came here on a Friday night with friends. There's a parking structure that's connected to an apartment area in the building, and there's a two hour maximum. I saw that their pours were big online, and although it says 5 ounce pours per cup on a flight, they really hook you up. You can view the menu online, and the flight is priced per individual beer. My flight cost $28-- wish this was clarified somewhere on the menu. It was extremely crowded; I think it was mostly people who worked or lived nearby. Parking was tricky. We felt like the youngest ones there. I can see this brewery as a great place to hang out after work or just to go out with friends and coworkers. It's spacious and there's also an arcade area. My group waited around for an open table, and unfortunately, the benches and tables are not bussed quickly. We ended up cleaning an entire table down with our own antibacterial wipes, and the people working can clearly see us like throwing away old food and moving dirty dishes. Something that I thought was strange was that they stopped serving flights right after my friend ordered at 9pm when the store closes at 11pm. Is there a rule to this? Good thing we came as early as we did. For food, you could buy an empanada for six dollars. It was warm and tasty, although a bit small. The service is extremely friendly. I liked that they had pen and papers for you to write down what you wanted on your flight so you could just turn it in when you go up to the counter. I also really liked the water station that they had. The bathrooms were generally clean and I liked that the sink area was separate from the toilet so anyone can go up and use it. For drinks, they had an interesting variety, and a lot of IPAs. I wish they offered sours as a choice for pours. I got a little bit of everything. The dark beers are strong. The jalapeño beer was unique. Overall, it's a really good place if you love IPAs. I would come back. It's a nice addition to Santa Clara Square.

Good beer, good empanadas I got a flight of five 5oz beers - 1 porter, 2 IPAs, and 2 hazy IPAs. All of them were good, but I ended up getting another full pour of the Sundown Saloon. I will say the pretzel isn't really worth it, but the empanadas were great. Whatever was in the sauce that it came with really complimented it. Definitely will come back for more beer and empanadas!

Beer - 5/5 Ambiance - 5/5 Service -5/5 Love, Love and just Love the place !! The beer variety is great. They have a small arcade with a few games which adds more fun to the place. The best part about them is, you can get your favorite food from anywhere and have their amazing beer. The place is always chripy and full of people who like to have fun. I have seen people working, knitting, having a picnic and what not. And on top its kids friendly !! Ample of parking space too. If you havent been here, you are missing out on something nice in the bay ( only if you are a beer person)

I threw a birthday party for my husband here. It was a great location for this. I had to switch to this location due to the rain at the last minute and they were thankfully able to accommodate me. Pricing was reasonable and I was able to bring outside food in. Beer selection was great as well. I will definitely be keeping them in mind for all future events.
