Beeryland

"This popular beer garden is an Oakland institution, known for its lively outdoor patio, boozy slushies, and charred burgers and sausage sandwiches. Those looking for a particularly decadent burger experience can opt for the 5150, which has a patty that’s half beef, half ground-up bacon, or the mac and cheese burger, which is exactly what it sounds like, a burger topped with mac and cheese. Even vegetarians have multiple — well, two — options: an Impossible burger and one featuring a chipotle black bean patty." - Dianne de Guzman, Luke Tsai

"With loads of bevies, food and garden-y greenness, Lost & Found is an inviting space you could stay for hours. It’s not too hipster and certainly not posh, though the inside is welcoming and spacious. The back deck is really where the party's at, with picnic tables, ping-pong and corn-hole games at the ready and plenty of umbrellas for that mid-day heat. Don't skip out too soon though, a sweet shift happens during the golden hour as the sun sets and market string lights twinkle above." - Arcsine

"For two months contestants will have to — otherwise known as get to — eat burgers at Low Bar, the Kon-Tiki, Jo’s Modern Thai, Lovely’s, and Telegraph Beer Garden." - Paolo Bicchieri

"Known for its clever Beeryland sign, Telegraph has a full bar, a big list of beers, and slushies. Chill at picnic tables with your pals, surrounded by the work of local graffiti artists, and consume a burger that’s half beef, half bacon. Many other such delights fill the menu, which is perfect for drinking." - Eater Staff

"This outdoor "Beeryland" brought some much needed late night food and solid beers on draft to the Uptown/Northgate food scene. It's outfitted with picnic tables, over a dozen beers on tap, a full bar, and graffiti-covered walls. Feast on an array of burgers and sandwiches like the Kono Burger (add kimchi), a delightful veggie burger, a vegan green bean sandwich, and the now infamous 2FAT2SK8 Burger, which combines the 5150 patty (half Angus beef, half bacon) and comes topped with grilled mac and cheese." - Rodrigo Ormachea, Ellen Fort, Janelle Bitker
