Fieldwork San Ramon

I’ve always enjoyed the beer at Fieldwork, but my recent visit made me question when, exactly, breweries became acceptable drop off zones for entire youth soccer teams. What should have been a laid-back afternoon turned into navigating a swarm of loud, unsupervised kids sprinting between tables while their parents camped out with pints, oblivious to everyone else’s personal space. Picture a bar, a literal bar, filled with people trying to enjoy a craft beer, now overtaken by small cleat-wearing missiles bouncing off chairs, blocking walkways, and treating the place like an indoor sports complex. The parents? Utterly unbothered. Lost in conversation, phones, and IPA flights, as if the rest of us didn’t show up to unwind after a long week. It’s astonishing how normalized this has become: adults sitting in a brewery, acting shocked when someone expects basic supervision and courtesy in a space designed for adults, not youth team celebrations. There was a time when rowdy kids belonged at parks, birthday venues, pizza joints, family restaurants, places intentionally built to absorb the chaos. Now, for reasons I can’t explain, a bar serving alcohol is somehow viewed as an appropriate backdrop for team parties and free-range parenting. The result is the same every time: adults who came for a quiet beer end up dodging shrieks, collisions, and sticky hands gripping communal game pieces. Fieldwork still makes great beer, but the atmosphere has taken a hit, not because of the staff, but because too many parents seem to believe that their kids’ entertainment should override everyone else’s experience. If you come here hoping for adult conversation and a peaceful pint, be prepared. Your enjoyment may depend entirely on whether a youth sports league decides to host its after game chaos in the taproom that day.

If you're looking for an industrial brewery-like setting with great beer selection, open atmosphere, and a place to grab grubs with colleagues in San Ramon, look no further. Fieldwork Brewing Company (FBC) is a relatively new institution that has a great selection of beer (as the name suggests) and a decent selection of comfort food to go along. The food isn't mindblowing or anything. Just good enough to accompany the beer. So don't think this is one of those themese restaurants. Their primary purpose is to serve beer. My only ask to the owner is that the long benches and seats are somewhat reminiscent of Oktoberfest, etc but it just doesn't work for the type of people who'd come after work. You just finished a long day at work. You're not in a mood to be rubbing shoulders with strangers celebrating the fall harvest. I'd return, but only for that one scenario - afternoon happy hour with coworkers.

A bit expensive but high quality everything. High quality beer and high quality food. All pizzas can be Detroit style and they are delicious. Including the cheese.

Great service, great drinks great food.Grrat Atmosphere, my Wife son and I love coming here after work.

What a great spot! We stumbled across this location on a mission to find some pizza and beer that was away from the hotel we were at. This place didn't disappoint. Very passionate staff that were knowledgeable about what was on tap and also provided some great recommendations on their pizzas. Highly recommend the: Hot & Bothered and/or Walk in the Park. Both were very enjoyable. The atmosphere is also fantastic. My only critique would be the very uncomfortable stools at the bar, but that wouldn't be enough to keep me from coming back!

First time here and I have to say I'm impressed. Great outdoor atmosphere. Ordered the BLT wrap which was quite good for a wrap. Took about 30 minutes to get to me due to a backup in the kitchen but otherwise servers were very attentive. The ordering experience was a little different then I'm use to. You order off your phone and they bring it out to you. The one IPA I had was quite good. Would definitely come back if I'm ever in the area again.

This is one of the best breweries around, and this location specifically has the best staff out of any east bay brewery hands down, so friendly, highly knowledgeable about the selection, more than open to let you try a splash to help you decide. They are also incredibly honest and good people, I left my money clip accidentally with a few hundred dollars in it, came back after the weekend and not a dollar was missing - you can't buy that kind of integrity, it's just in the people themselves. The venue is, light open and modern, the perfect accompany to the renaissance of the brewing industry. They offer indoor and outdoor seating with heaters and multiple fire pits, great for group gatherings. The beer quality is unmatched, while Fieldworks did go a little haze crazy for a bit, they have some incredible West Coast IPAs, Belgiums, and many other perfectly executed styles. One thing I really appreciate is the menu is very detailed about hops and whats in the beer, some people, myself are very particular and I appreciate the details around the offerings. I come here frequently at the end of a long week, and recommend you do too.

Brewery located in the Bishops Ranch Shopping plaza and a great place to relax and grab some brews and food with the family. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. Outdoor they have heating lamps and grills. Inside they have 2 areas and tabled areas. We had a Saturday afternoon reservation for 5 adults and a toddler for 230 and the service was great. We ordered cheese pizza, a hummus plate, French fries, and Brussels sprouts. I got a couple of their hazy ipas and in the small portion as a flight to try the different flavors. They have self service water and gender neutral bathrooms. Service was great, lots of different brews to choose from and cider and wine options, along with non alcoholic options too. Parking is easy as it’s located near the bishops ranch free parking garage.

So this is sort of a random review. Sure, I could talk about the beers and the ambiance, which are both great. I could talk about the service, which has always been amazing. But really this review is about pizza and dining solo. This is low-key a great pizza place in the East Bay. When trying to figure out a place to eat as a solo diner, I cannot recommend enough the kids pepperoni pizza. It is great value for the money and a perfect size when enjoying a pint or two. And since they do beer, I have to say if you're ever there and they have the Peanut Butter & Jelly on tap, just give it a try, you won't regret it!

My dad and I came here to try their famous "Pulp" IPA. Drawn by curiosity and description of their other brews, we settled on a flight, which included the Belgian pale ale "Olyvia," the "Five Ten" West Coast pale ale, the "Seagazer" New Zealand IPA, the "King Coconut" double IPA and of course, the "Pulp" IPA. Each beer was distinctive and very good, but the "Pulp" was our ultimate favorite. We both made sure to grab a pack to go. We also ordered the oven-baked wings and the Detroit-style "Delivery Boy" pizza, which paired deliciously with our drinks. Despite the full house, the service was fast. With great beer and delicious food, you can't ask for more.

Great place to have a private party. We attended a milestone birthday party here tonight in the private dining area, with two hours booked for virtual golf, soccer, hockey, football, and so on! Guests received a link so we could place our own digital orders, and staff were very quick to help when one of the screens stopped functioning. The food and drinks were flowing, and everyone had a blast. Food choices - pretzels, pita and hummus, chicken wings, pizza - were fine. Folks seemed to enjoy their drinks, though I must have picked wrong as my beer was bland. We will be back!

Amazing selection of beers. Excellent pizzas. Probably the best pizza in San Ramon. Service is quick but no frills.

Oh my God in heaven and mother Earth! Lovers and Losers Bohemian Pilsner:light, crisp, and refreshing! Olyvia Belgian Pale Ale: Great balance while maintaining just enough Belgian to ride with the Pale. Think of Chico (Sierra Nevada) meets Bruges (Chimay?) Heady Money Double IPA: Take one home tonight! From their  brewer notes, perfect amount of fruity dank weed. Pulp IPA : Brewer Notes abridged ; lemon head candies and dried Costco mango. Very juicy and feels chock full of vitamin C. Made for pirates to avoid getting scurvy. Westcoast Slang IPA : Brewer Cliff Notes ; candied pomelo, blue diesel bugs (WTF),chenin blanc grapes. My hot take ; smooth, clean and rich flavor, zero bitterness and max drinkability!  NightMaker Double Oat Stout : steel cut oats and musketeer nougat. This one is rich and silky with a clean finish hedging toward an Irish stout. Would go well with a shot of whiskey and something sweet like candied pecans. Well, that's all I got. Fieldwork rocks! If you can't find the pleasure at Fieldwork then your glass is half empty ;)

I recently visited Fieldwork Brewing in San Ramon with my Dad and we enjoyed it here! My dad loved the beers here and said he'd definitely drink them again! I got him the beer flight for $18. I also ordered us some appetizers: "The Hummas" pepitas, smoked salt, za'atar, parm'd pizza bread $11 which was tasty, kinda had a different take on pita bread and the hummas was amazing! The hot pretzel, kinda dry but otherwise good came with mustard dip $8. The Shishito Peppers with furikake, lemon, smoked salt, for $12, they were tasty some were kinda mild some were pretty hot. It came out to about $49 before tax and tip, I actually felt pretty much full after, so not bad for some appetizers and a single beer flight for 2 people! Fieldwork Brewing overall had a nice ambiance to it, fresh modern vibe, cute neon sign, plenty of TVs to watch sports games, and nice fire pits and heaters outside! I only took off one star just cause the waitress kind of disappeared for a long time and so did the rest of the people working there. We wanted some more water but they never came back other then to drop off the check. But we otherwise enjoyed our experience here and would come back if in the mood for some local beers and appetizers. Would love to try their pizza next time!

We had a quick stop at Fieldworks yesterday and it was very positive. Fast, friendly service, good beers, and nice appetizers. The bar code ordering system is very convenient.

I'm not much of an alcohol person but I really enjoyed the food. I will be coming back purely for one of the square pizzas I ate. It was so yummy I wanted to order a second one. You can't go wrong with the Brussel sprouts and the peppers. The Hummus was also good. You order and pay on your phone and the workers bring the items to your table. We sat at a bench style table. I also recommend competing with your friends to complete the children's coloring sheets with a maze, word search, and spot the difference.

Big patio and also indoor seating available. The food was good, the beer was good too. Dog friendly outdoor area. Had coloring/activity sheets and crayons for the kids. Order online using QR code that's specific to your table. Self serve water.

Great vibe here, super location near all the office campuses with workers looking to blow off steam. I've been here in the early days when they were just a bar, with food coming from next door. But these days, it seems they have their own kitchen and are pumping out pizzas and other bar grub. Again, great place to chill with friends when the weather is nice out. Even when it's a touch chilly, the outdoor fire pits give a nice ambiance. Gets tough when it's windy and cold though. They might consider some temporary wind breaks around the perimeter. It also seems like they expanded their seating areas. Beers are on the hoppy side, even their non hops have some bite to them. I like them, especially when they come out ice cold. Servers are nice and attentive. Also came during their collab with 95.7 The Game to kick off the Niner season. That was pretty awesome, they should continue to host special events. I'm a regular. Shhh... dont tell the wife.

Food was super good! came out at a reasonable time, the service was a bit iffy, but was able to order quickly. Patio is awesome to sit outside and inside was pretty sweet too, loved how they had games available to play!

Last time I was up here loved the food and atmosphere. More specifically the Brussel sprouts and shishito peppers...absolutely fantastic. Highly recommend.

Been living in San Ramon for the past 5 years and fieldworks is always a nice spot to chill with the wife and/or catch up with friends. This is probably one of my favorite spots at the City Center. The selection of beers here is quite varied and will most likely have a beer that cater to most tastes. This brewery also offers a pretty good food menu to match with the beers. Service here is good and fast and you can order and pay through your phone so it's super convenient.

Nice beer patio. Fieldwork always has something for all palates, but I especially like their hazy and sour (not so sour) beers.

I recently had lunch at Fieldworks in San Ramon. As a Vietnam veteran, I was acknowledged by several of the staff for my service in Vietnam in 1967. I had my outwear jacket on and it has several patches that show I am a veteran of the Vietnam war. Being recognized with a " Thank you for your service" means a lot to me and my fellow servicemen who served in any war. Thank you for taking the time to acknowledge my service for this great democratic country we have today. USMC SSGT. Robert

Fieldwork is one of our go to places. It's amazingly easy to come here with our two toddlers since you can order right from the QR code on the table. Beer is good and the food is fantastic. We recommend the pretzel, Brussels sprouts and all of their pizza has been good. My husband and I also have gone to the swing suite which was so much fun! They have golf as well as other games. Nothing better than a date night with games and great food!!

This was my second time visiting a fieldwork brewing, first time visiting this location. I was a little confused by the seating, because it seemed like they had a hostess, but not quite. I went ahead and grabbed a seat at the bar, and the beertender was quick to take my order & offer a paper menu. this was different from my previous experience, which relied on QR codes for orders. I could honestly take or leave either option for ordering - just give me my beer! I consider myself a beer snob and wear that title on my sleeve. The older I've gotten, the less I am enjoying breweries where it feels a bit more like a daycare than somewhere to relax...that's definitely a personal preference, but it shows up in the review. Compared to the other location I attended, this one is definitely family friendly. They were definitely kids running around unattended , which depending on your mood that day could be a good or a bad thing.

When we are in the area for basketball! We love going to this place. They're very kid, friendly, delicious pizza, and many options for vegetarians. super professional staff and definitely love the wipe of the place on the weekend. Specially, during the summertime. Love the indoor decor.

Great spot for dinner and beer! The kale salad was great - the dressing and topping went well together. The magherita pizza was solid. The detroit style pizza is good with crispy edges. We got the one with chicken and caramelized onions. It was good but not amazing. I think the food here is decent but the large selection of local beer and good vibes is what makes this place great. Also, dog-friendly! You order at the table so there is limited interaction with servers, but they were very friendly and helpful when we did see them.

Fieldwork Brewing was a great time, great atmosphere, and great location. We were part of a private party on the patio and the was great. The salads and pizzas were delicious. My suggestion is to stay away from the staff recommended flights ( I made that mistake as I wanted to order something quick.), and stick to the flights of beer that you like like the IPA flights (Which I was much happier with) or just order off the vast beer offerings on the menu. If we are in the area we will be back.

Fieldwork is a nice addition to Bishop Ranch City Center (The Lot). It's definitely one of the most popular places and is always buzzing from Friday through Sunday. I'm not the biggest craft beer sommelier, but I do enjoy the variety of offerings that Fieldwork offers. Also, I greatly appreciate that they have affordable flights for you to sample (and get a nice buzz from), especially since it can translate to getting to-go pack or growler to further indulge at home. When it first opened, and I first attended, there was no food menu. I believe it was a common question/complaint; one of which they allowed patrons to purchase food from nearby restaurants to take here. Currently, they added some tasty bar bites (wings, pizzas, pretzels, etc.) to the mix and it's the absolute best pairings. Although I greatly appreciate the idea and the staff; the busyness does get a little overwhelming. The last few times I've visited, there's been loud folks that should start using their 'indoor voices' and kids running around unattended. Definitely not the fault of the establishment, but definitely harder to catch up with close friends over flights of hops and malts with people screaming bloody murder.

Food is awesome, the beers we tried were also great. As someone who likes to try a little bit of everything, I love that you can order taste, half, or full sizes of the beers. Not a whole lot of interaction with staff since ordering is done through your phone, but they did bring out our orders promptly. The ambiance is nice too. I've only sat in the outside area and the fire pits and heaters are great. The Brussels are fire and I loved the Detroit style delivery boy. Would recommend!

First time visiting fieldwork! If you haven't been here already, come check this place out! I couldn't decide what to order, so I went with their flights. They let you decide between default choices, but I decided to customize mine with a few drinks across their menu. I'm not the biggest beer fan, but the flight let me experience everything across their menu! My friends and i were pretty hungry, so we decided to order a pizza. It was amazing!!! The square pizza is pretty thick, and is worth getting. I heard from others that their wings aren't a lot in quantity, but are also pretty good. The environment is great, and Id want to rate it 5 stars, but the wait is a bit unpredictable and outdoor seating was cold, so we opted to sit inside. Check this place out!

My review in the low side takes some explaining . I'm a beer geek, I go to places that make great beer, ambience comes second but is also important to the experience. The beer is well done with a good variety. Food is "ok" but you're not coming here for well executed cuisine. A decent pizza and wings get the job done, but nothing to write home about. If I were a 29 year old dad with a 6 month old in a baby bjorn, and a three year old on a IPad preparing for a lifetime of attention problems, I'd love this place. But as someone who no longer has tiny kids, and loves old school craft breweries, I struggle with the atmosphere here. Screaming babies pushed us out of the indoor space. Outside it's strollers and kids running everywhere. Lots of dogs, some of which lunge/ Bark at other dogs that regularly walk by. I get that in a suburban area, this is the demographic that is the most profitable. But for people like me, who's kids are almost grown up, who wants a great beer in a place for beer lovers, I just don't enjoy it. I also really dislike the service system. Ordering and paying from an app has some advantages. But it removes the personal touch of talking to a server. "Hey what do you think of the new hazy?"-nope. How would a server know a regular customer and have any idea of how to connect? I know this is the new thing and probably "cost effective" but it's a shame. All in all this place feels like a cut and paste corporate brewpub model. As a last nitpick, the outdoor chairs are terrible and uncomfortable. Not the Adirondack type fire pit chairs, but the regular table chairs. Sit with shorts in that for 30 min and your hamstrings look like you were punished for graffiti in Singapore. For some, this type of place/system is perfect. Not for me.

Good spot to grab a drink! We sat outside and it was a super nice day. Service was pretty quick and friendly. I got one of the slushes which was good but still had the bitter beer aftertaste.

Timing and Structure was a tasty pint for sure, and the pizza was really good. Nice patio and quick service definitely adds to it.

Great location to go to after work or if you just want to get drinks. They offer some light food so you don't have to feel like drinking is your only option. They will also let you try everything before you order it. Not a lot of places will do that. I am a picky beer person so it is a great option for me. They also carry a decent selection of ciders too, so that you can go that route if beer is not your thing. And, they offer flights so you can try a few if you cannot decide on just one. Most of the seating is outdoors, so best to come when the weather is good, though they do have some heaters. Service has been fine when I have been here as well.

Came on a busy Friday evening around 7:30pm and found outdoor seating (first come first serve unless it's reserved). I'd recommend always checking in with your server to ensure your food order has been taken! Note: wherever you sit down, there is a QR code associated with where you order too! The portion size of the regular pizzas is larger than a personal pizza size, so if you're not too hungry a couple of people could split one and be satisfied. The Detroit style pizza was more bread than sauce/toppings, and unfortunately came out cold.

Came with a large group (like 9 of us) and its a great place to hang out with some beers and get some good bar food. This is the 3rd location I've been so and this is probably the best one though. The others I went to were mostly outdoors and the one in SM doesn't even really have food. Unfortunately, our large group barely had space for food + beers so that was a bit annoying. Nevertheless, they have a great beer selection and the Detroit style pizzas is a must try. Food: 7/10 Beers: 8/10 Service: 7/10 Vibes: 7/10

We made a pit stop to Fieldwork prior to dinner. Upon entrance, they gave us a 30 minute wait but it also seemed like a first come first serve type of seating situation. My friends were able to find a ton of seating in the back and we began ordering. Ordering is such a breeze. You purchase via the QR code; and you can even have multiple tabs per table! We ordered a round of beers, wine, hummus, and brussel sprouts. The food and drinks came out instantly. It was quite shocking. The staff was friendly. The food was delicious (especially the hummus!). And for someone who isn't a huge fan of beer, I quite enjoyed my drink. The system here works just right. I highly recommend checking out the spot if you're in the area.

Consistently delicious beer. I lived a few blocks away from their flagship location in Berkeley, and was not sure how I felt about trying one of their newer branches. Came by after the farmers market on a Saturday at noon and it was pretty quiet. Grabbed a patio seat and ordered using the QR code on the table. Within 5 minutes we had a king citra and ice cream castles stout in front of us. King citra is a hazy northeast IPA and the ice cream castles was smooth with hints of vanilla. They've convinced me that Fieldworks is delicious at any location (although I'll always be nostalgic for their flagship location)! They're always at the top of the craft game, but their beers are also consistent across locations. Solid job, fieldworks!

My husband and I enjoyed their Detroit style : Hail Mary. The pizza tasted like a Mexican fusion with a sweet twist to it. It had cotija cheese, shredded chicken, caramalized onion, honey, garlic, chili. We even requested for a side of their homemade ranch and it was super good! For drinks, you get a good deal with getting a beer flight. You wouldn't expect it being as big as it was, for only $18. My husband got the Hoppy and his favorite beer was "pulp". I got Saint Thomas and it was an IPA WITH TROPICAL HINTS OF FRUITS IN THERE WHICH IS MY JAM! Ambiance overall is great, the host let us sit wherever we wanted outside and there was a QR code to scan to order. Our orders came out quickly and service was really good. They checked in on us a perfect amount and cleared our tables as much as they could. Fun place to take friends for a night out. Overall: 5/5

I had the wings and the pretzel and both did not disappoint, the wings were crisp, hot, and came with great dipping sausage, the pretzel came out hot and with the perfect amount of salt! The food runners here are on point as soon as the food bell rang they were on it! The atmosphere and vibe of the place was so relaxing and great, there was a lot of people but still plenty of places to hangout and sit. As always the Beer was amazing as well!

Very good selection of beer and great seating options. The food menu was limited, however there were interesting pizza choices. The staff were friendly and helpful, but also harried and intense. I was pretty surprised to see a charge on my credit card for $25, then cancelled and replaced with the actual amount.

Love that this place has a spacious outdoor dining area and is dog friendly! It does get a little chilly in the evening so bring a jacket. There's plenty of parking in the parking lot and garage. The staff is very friendly. They even have a dog treats in the front for your dogs! The ordering system is through a QR code and you check out when you're done. Great beer for a good deal but keep in mind that the beer selection changes. They offer flights so you can try out a variety. Surprisingly, they have good pizza (thin crust) but not much of a selection of appetizer. My favorite is the bare knuckle pizza (has tater tots!) and you can't go wrong with the classic pepperoni pizza. We usually get 2-3 pizzas for 4 people.

Such a great place! We went with three couples for a little holiday celebration and had an amazing experience. Obviously the beer selection is first rate. But the food absolutely exceeded expectations. We had the pretzel and loads of fresh pizza. The pizzas are all the best and anything you don't like can be customized. The staff is so friendly and accommodating. We also had salads as well just to try to be a bit more healthy and those were great as well. Come here!

I made a reservation for a group of friends with two kids under 1 to meet up on a Saturday afternoon and we had a lovely time. We were running late which wasn't a problem. We were seated inside on a couch which made it a little difficult for the 5 adults to socialize and eat but it was comfortable! Ordering process is all virtual. You open your tab through the QR code on your table, order, beverages and food are brought to your table. Service was great and fast. We appreciated be welcomed and surrounded by other young families. Food and beverage was great! We'll definitely be back and would love to sit outside by a firepit. Thanks to the great staff at Fieldwork!

My husband and I, along with friends, meandered over to Fieldwork after dinner at Marugame and dessert at Salt & Straw. Two of our friends brought their adorable doggos but, unfortunately, Fieldwork's indoor area is not pet friendly. It was a bit chilly outside, but Fieldwork provides numerous heat lamps and at least one of their fire pit areas was working. There are an abundant amount of QR codes scattered throughout the outdoor area and ordering was easy. My husband got a half of the Hot Chocolate stout ($5), and I opted for a half Blackberry Parfait ($5). I'm a huge fan of sours and was really pleased with the fact that this had the right amount of tartness without being completely Warhead-level sourness that ultimately overpowers any hint of flavor. I would absolutely order the Blackberry Parfait again, and would get a full glass. Even with the cold weather, Fieldwork was busy that evening, but service was still prompt. At the end of the night, closing out our tab on our phones was simple and straightforward. Had a really great evening here and would definitely come back to check out other drinks and their food menu.

I'd write 100 reviews if I could for the 100+ times I've been here....this is the best place for beer/food/hangout in San Ramon. Good for a quick beer/appetizer, or even watching a game and having dinner.....the beer is always served quickly and cold, the food is always hot and timely. And the staff is always super insightful. can be a little tricky if you come here on a weekend/evening as it gets super busy....but every time I've had to "wait" for a table....it's always ready before their estimated time. Love this place, will always be my go to in San Ramon

Super cute and rustic brewery located in the San Ramon City Center! Busy on a Friday night but was still seated after a couple of minutes. I didn't really like the QR ordering system, and the amount of times the servers checked in with us(attentive which was nice), I felt like it made more sense to just take the order traditionally. If you're not a beer person like me, I recommend the Salted Watermelon, it was delicious!

Fieldwork is our favorite brewery! We love coming here. Servers are very casual, the ambiance is relaxing, with indoor and outdoor options. If you sit outdoors you can still stay warm by one of the many heaters (including fire pits). I like that their heaters are grounded and don't depend on propane - it never runs out of fuel! Make your reservations online if you are coming on a nice weekend evening to guarantee your spot - they get pretty busy! Beer flavors change constantly, so don't get too attached - sort of like in Game of Thrones, when you least expect your favorite character is eliminated! I like their menu selections. They have vegetarian and vegan options. I love the hummus and the pizzas!!

Wonderful beer great staff. Friendly and helpful! The wee heavy and the pumpkin milk stout were a huge hit during game night!

We've been here twice now and enjoyed our experience each time ordering dinner and beer, but I have two caveats - the 'herb ranch' is awful and not like a ranch flavor, and the Hail Mary Detroit style pizza is not good. My partner straight up could not eat it because the taste was so off putting to him. I ate a couple pieces but the chicken tasted old or something..not what you'd expect. Otherwise we loved our pepperoni supreme type pizza the previous time. There is some redemption with regards to their sauce - they have a yogurt white sauce that they serve with the wings and that is quite good! Works as a decent substitute for ranch. We will certainly be back but just have to note those two aspects of the menu that we would not order again.

You know what's good about this place? Everything! The corner spot is spacious, drinks are good, service is great. How can you not like this place? It's super casual and you place orders using toast tab. So easy breezy! The pizza was freshly hot and the crust was crunchy. The Brussels sprouts appetizer hit the spot. It wasn't super crispy but the cheese and the flavor was worth it. I love their drinks here. I had the farmhouse wheat- light and Belgium, just the way I like it. Outdoor seating was spacious with all kinds of space seating that suits your needs. Make reservations if you need to, but otherwise not required. Everyone was so nice here...I would love to come back again.

The crust and cheese were good except there was hardly any sausage in the hot and bothered pizza, especially for the price. Please add more meat to your pizza!

I did not like the menu being so limited in choices. Our main selection was a pizza. It came absolutely overcooked and burned badly. It also had odd ingredients. It was so spicy I could not eat and I like medium heat. If I was planning a meal there, I would never go there again for the food. It is a beer paradise but all the food choices suck. Black and burned food will not get me to return. Not a good choice. Chefs that proved Do not watch the hot stoves and pizza ovens with any care! This is just a beer brewery with good variety to try.

I've been wanting to come to Fieldwork Brewing, like, forever. Located in the City Center, there's always a ton of people sitting outside, some around the fire pits -- an indication that something good is being offered here. On a very cold night, the gf and I along with the pooch, decided to go -- we sat inside at one of the long communal tables. We heard they had pizza (for the past year), so we ordered a couple of pies and a flight. Batter up! Beer Flight [$13 for 6, 5.0 stars] -- was amazing and presented beautifully. I loved 1 out of 6 (Last Requiem), really liked 3 others, and liked the other 2. In other words, it was great. I would totally do this again. The pizzas, well, we loved them both. Fun Guy [$20, 5.0 stars] and Delivery Boy [$20, 4.5 stars] were about 12", thin crust and super delicious. We found a great pizza and beer place. Sold!

This trendy microbrewery is located at Bishop Ranch in San Ramon. They have a huge beer menu, and you can create your own flights. My group enjoyed their beers, but I'm not a beer drinker, so this review is mostly for their food. They have a good size outdoor patio with umbrellas and fire pits. The wait staff was friendly and checked on us pretty often. As for their food, the menu is pretty limited. Besides some appetizers, they have salad and pizza. We debated whether their pizza was better than Delarosa's and surprisingly most of my group preferred Fieldwork, but Delarosa wins in my book. The pizza is good here, but I found their options kinda gimmicky (like tater tots?) But overall, we enjoyed the food and relaxing in their patio. What we ordered: + Oven baked wings - these have quite a kick. They were really good. + Shishito peppers - oh yum. It's served with a mustardy sauce that's really good. + Classic pepperoni pizza - it's just pepperoni and it really doesn't need anything else. Very good. + Hot and Bothered pizza - sausage and peppers. The name scared me, but the sausage is not that spicy. Very tolerable. + Hail Mary pizza - beer braised chicken with caramelized onions and a touch of honey. I thought it was a bit on the sweet side, but it was pretty yummy. The food took a while to come out, and the caesar salad we ordered never came. But when you're relaxing and enjoying drinks, you don't really mind the wait. We all enjoyed ourselves.

Due to recommendation from employees on where to go for lunch for our holiday event, we ended up at fieldwork brewing. Able to make reservations online, which is a huge bonus considering we wanted to ensure indoor dining due to the cold weather as of late. Even with the heat lamps and fire pits outside, the air was still very crisp. Our table was ready when we arrived however ordering is done through a QR code on the table. This is where we ran into difficulties and not sure how it happened. Our order ended up being listed as take out not for the table and we couldn't order any soft drinks (which just a heads up, they only have 3: black cherry, root beer, and lime seltzer). When we flagged down an employee is when we figured the order was all messed up. They were able to fix that with the kitchen and opened us a 2nd tab for our soft drinks. The pizza was very good, you can choose between thick or thin crust and feed 2-3 people each depending on type. We had 4 different kinds, the hail Mary, big boy, Margherita and something spicy with peppers on it. The Caesar salad is also really good, has croutons, radish and hard boiled egg. This was also big enough to split. For a group of 8 people we had leftover pizza. Wasn't able to sample any beer due to this being a work event but the place was very busy and everyone around seemed to enjoy their brews. They even offer flights.

Food was decent. You order your drinks and meals on your own phone from the code on the table. The servers just drop off your items, but they didn't really engage with us. That was a bit disappointing when you need to ask for things. The ambiance was okay. Simple. We sat inside. The area we sat at had bench seating and it would have been okay, but a guy in a different group down the table kept banging his foot against the leg of the bench and it reverberated down to us and it was extremely uncomfortable and annoying. The wine prices were insane. It was $16 for a glass of wine that was so small, that you could NOT consider it a "glass". Maybe a splash, which is why I am complaining. I probably could have bought that whole bottle for the same price from a store. Beers were around $8.
