Lincoln Ave. Brewery

Just ate here. The owner seems cool and the shredded pork tacos were quite good. Ambiance is nice, a great place to catch a game on tv. Otherwise I’d rate this place lower on the personality of the blond employee. If you ask her anything or try talking in a friendly manner, she acts put off and smug. Unbelievable. It’s my first time in town. It’s worth trying. Owner, have a chat with your server and or look for someone who’s personable.

Little hard to find behind ice cream parlor down an alley. Nice setting open air bar. Seating inside and out. Parking is a challenge. Staff friendly and worked hard. Bartender working by herself on front end. It was hard for her to manage our group and needs of everyone else but she was a super star and did well. Food was average at best. I ordered fish and chips as you can see by pic wasn't many chips. Fish was cold in middle and tough. Wife had a Ruben sandwich. Meat was tough also. The highlight was one of the brothers had Mac n cheese with brisket. He said it was excellent. Without the Mac, food would have been 2 stars.

Really good food and service! Way too hot inside and not enough air. Tables were ok.

Way over rated, the food is really sub par. Supposedly the best BBQ around, not even close. Bbq chicken pizza appeared out of a box, brisket tacos 1/2 fat, brisket sandwich tough. Self order, they serve it and never come back to even ask how the food is. Atmosphere isn’t good enough to make up for the bad meal.

I called in an order and the lady I talked to was very nice, they slid our order in as the last one of the night (though according to their hours they were still open for an hour). Food was decent for a late night snack, but nothing spectacular (though two items were technically from the kids' menu). The two sauces that we ordered with the chicken strips were not in the box, after I specifically asked if they were and was told yes. Next time, I'll definitely check. The fries were really good, had a good crisp and good flavor, but again would have been better with something to dip them in. When we got there to pick up, there were specials that sounded a lot better than what we ordered, so I'm tempted to go back for lunch if those specials are still around. (Pretzels with beer cheese and Mac N Cheese with brisket) *FYI, the pictures do NOT show the full portions, we already started eating when I thought to take them

Great atmosphere, beverages/beer were nice and cold, and food was great. BBQ pork mac and cheese was delicious! Owner was sociable and shared other great places to stop! Enjoyed this stop on our napa trip!

I normally don’t write reviews, but after visiting this place I felt compelled to write one… Worst service ever, if I were the owner of this place, I’d fire the waitress working at the bar on the spot without thinking twice (the one with dark hair collected in a bun). She was literally looking at us waiting at the bar for 15 minutes before finally taking our order, and the place was half empty, so it’s not that she was swamped with work. Then they didn’t have any cold juices in the fridge for our 5yo… I was “fine, we’ll just take water from the water dispenser”, just to find that one was fully empty too (she refilled it 5 minutes later). On top of that she was visibly having “an attitude”, almost annoyed why we were even showing up there. I first thought it was only us for some reason, but then I saw her giving the same treatment to other customers, and then she almost smashed the telephone when someone called couple of times and she couldn’t hear anything due to bad reception. Food took some 40 minutes to arrive (it was literally just fries, pretzel and pork belly bites), so total time from coming there to getting food was some 55 minutes. Again, it was waiting on the kitchen counter for good 5 minutes before the waitress finally noticed it’s ready to be served. Then she literally threw the food on our table. We never got plates, so had to eat directly from plates the food was served on. Food itself was the only bright point of our visit. At least the person working in the kitchen knows what they’re doing. Pretzel and pork belly burnt ends were good.

I was in town for the night and had a beer. Really nice place and great service too. Will definitely stop by next time I’m in town. Very friendly staff and locals

Fabulous atmosphere and staff. Rolled in on a Friday and it happened to be trivia! 10/10 everyone was so wonderful with suggestions. Props to Melanie & Tyler! If you're in Calistoga I highly recommend. Full disclosure no liquor

Don't come here hungry. Extremely slow food service. Burger had been sitting out for a while before it was served so the bread was super soggy and not cooked as requested. . The flat bread crust was overly crunchy. Place seemed like it could be cleaned up and put away. Boxes and many random items in site. Wont be going back. Only star would be for the nice lady at the counter.

Lincoln Avenue Brewery is hidden down an ally, off of the main street. Although it's location is slightly inconspicuous, the atmosphere is both inviting and welcoming. It's a great place to enjoy a drink and meal and is also family friendly. We sat at the inside bar and was able to enjoy the weather with their garage open to the outside bar and loved the sound of the rain while being warm with overhead heating. Their mozzarella sticks and friend pickles were delicious and great as an appetizer while we figured out our dinner meal. I enjoyed their BBQ Western burger while my husband ordered their BBQ brisket sandwich. The burger and sandwich was filling, especially after the ordered appetizers. WghqpyWe needed to go boxes because it seemed like our eyes were bigger than our stomachs. Grace, our bartender was awesome. She was on her A game that night and was always there to top us off. She was super sweet!

This place is exactly what you want out of a bar/brewery. Great drink menu with details and the food menu was pretty large as well. We got pizza and the tri tip sandwich. I would skip on the pizza but the sandwich was great. The server was great letting us try ciders before deciding what we wanted. Good vibes with sports Playing. Will be back!

We stumbled upon Lincoln Avenue brewery after picking up some wine at the market nearby. This place is located behind the ice cream parlor and you walk through a side, alley to get to the main brewery. We noticed that it was trivia night, which got me curious to take a look. I think this is one of the local gems around the area, especially given how touristy and expensive Calistoga can get. They have some great selections on tap and we noticed a $10 brat and beer combo, which was much more affordable than anything else around the area. The owners and workers were so kind and friendly, I really enjoyed making small talk with them. The Bratwurst was smoked for several hours, which surprised how much care and attention was put into something so simple. After a long day of winery visits and some overpriced food, Lincoln Avenue was a very welcomed visit. I highly encourage anyone visiting the area who wants a laid-back night with a good brew in your hand to come and visit!

Well this whole experience upset us! We were looking for a quick bite before heading back to our hotel pool and settling in for the night the day before our wedding! We grabbed a seat at the bar, ordered a beer, both ordered a burger with no cheese or butter on the bun, he asked no mayo and I asked for a side salad with no cheese! Yettt... Our burgers came out with butter on the bun, his had mayo and my salad had tiny sprinkles of Parmesan cheese all over! By the time (Sean/Shawn) came around to asking how everything was I had already tried to pick all of the cheese off of my salad, he had scraped the mayo, we both had just taken pills and hoped for the best!! We paid for the bill when we ordered to make it a fast as possible experience so no tipping less for us! Finally when (Sean/Shawn) realized what happened he offered us another beer which we did not want as we wanted to get back to our hotel as soon as possible! Finally, the manager came over and offered us a drink or dessert which all contain dairy, so we could not even consume! He kept saying whatever we needed to let him know.. we didn't want anything else yet our bill possibly compensated or food corrected! Like let me reverse part of your bill and an apologize would have worked! We have to start getting ready for a wedding in less than 12 hours and he feels terrible, Perfect!

My wife and I stopped in here a few weeks ago during our honeymoon in Calistoga. I'm always in search of local breweries when traveling and I am SO happy that I found this one. Amazing beers on tap (including my favorite Russian River Brewing), delicious food, as well as a very friendly and welcoming staff. They also have a couple of their own brews as well; I started with the 'Dirty Double' double IPA which was awesome. We split their Ruben sandwich with a side house salad. The corned beef was SO tender, every bite was incredible. The house salad was really good; super fresh tasting and great with the balsamic glaze. Shoutout to Rob, Kailee, Melanie, and Mindy for making us feel at home and being a great part of our honeymoon. We will be back!

Good place to watch a game. Nice staff Have a beer.....But forget the food.... pretty bad

Was up in Calistoga for wine tasting and hit this place afterwards. Very solid place for burgers. We had the BBQ burger which was excellent and HUGE! for apps we got the fried artichoke hearts (these are battered unlike in Italy, also the onion rings) The sweet potato fries that came with the burger were excellent!

Such a fun spot! We stopped in for burgers and stayed for Bingo night! The food was good and atmosphere even better. Don't forget Friday night Trivia!

Food, Service, and ambiance; what more can you ask for? LAB has it all! Burger was killer, and with tons of beer on draft it's criminal not to go. Staff were super welcoming and nice, can't wait to come back!

This was a cute place. Not really my jam but the staff were really nice! Food was just ok. I did enjoy the fried pickles, went great with my cold brew.

Great food and ambiance. We had ribs and tri-tip from the smoker and were impressed. The manager and all staff were super catering and made sure to make our evening a memorable experience. The brewery offering live music for patrons on a Saturday evening didn't hurt either.

LOVE this spot! We've been 2-3 times now over a few years and have always left happy. Large selection of beers/wines - gotta try their house brews while there! Also had a burger, fried chicken sando and churros - solid, awesome bar food. They have bingo/random fun game nights and the staff is amazing. We got so many good local suggestions from them for our stay. They allow dogs and just has great vibes all around. Will be back for sure!

Seems more like a "locals" place to enjoy a large variety of beers. The food took about 25-30 minutes so be prepared if you arrive with hungry people! It was a heat wave when we arrived and their thermostat read 91 degrees. Food: was tasty but took longer than we had planned, my husband's ribeye sandwich was 60% inedible due to gristle and chewy parts, maybe just bad luck and got a bad piece, everyone else's burgers, pizza, and chicken tenders were great. Service: you order at the counter and then seat yourself, food is brought out to you, not the type of place that checks back on customers, they don't leave the bar area, so sit there for more attention Solid 3 for great food except for the ribeye sandwich, time for food prep, and complete absence of any air conditioning or cooling techniques, and no soap in one of the restroom!

Very welcoming service! Lots of beer selections and special shots! In and outdoor seating. Folks will turn on heaters for you outside! Get the bbq brisket, super soft bread, lots of meat, onions, delightful! Comes with a choice of a side. Got the salad with the champagne Caesar dressing. Comfortable, welcoming and easy going brewery to enjoy brews and noshes!

This restaurant is not friendly for vegetarians. They charge 3 dollars extra for a veggie patty. The alternative is a half pound wagyu patty. This is an absolutely insane mark up. There is no way that a black bean patty has a higher cost than a beef patty. It is an upcharge for no reason. Do not come here if you are vegetarian Btw, the $18 Caesar salad, which took 40 minutes to come out of the kitchen, was approximately the size of my hand. Absolute rip off for vegetarians

Randomly dropped by on a Saturday evening and there was plenty of seating indoor and outdoor. The waitress at the bar was super friendly. I ordered the Margherita pizza which was soooo good! The lemon pepper and buffalo chicken wings and calamari were tasty too. Tried an IPA on tap called the blind pig and a rosé from a local winery and both hit the spot! I enjoyed the local-charm feel of this place! Overall, I'm glad I stumbled upon this brewery!

Calistoga has so much to offer, and certainly Lincoln Avenue Brewery has a lot to offer from friendly and helpful service, to yummy snacks (we had corndog bites and mozzarella sticks) and delicious beer! I had a Mexican lager and my partner had an IPA and both were great! They have some indoor space and an indoor/outdoor experience so it is cozy, but also very ventilated.

The burger was exceptional today! Cooked to medium perfection with a healthy red in the center. We ordered the burger w/ fries and the corn dog nuggies which was a perfect lunch for us! I can't even describe how delicious the burger was. It was perfectly cooked, juicy with enough bbq sauce to ooze but not so much it was a mess. The entire time we were eating I kept saying how delicious it was. I think it got better with each bite! The fries are coated and also deliciously golden crispy. Corn dog nuggies were everything I wanted them to be. Perfectly crunchy, still had moisture in the batter, good flavor. They hit it out of the park today. Second visit and it was equally delicious if not better today. Perfect ending to an adventure day. Bar menu is broad with plenty of cocktail, beers both in-house and others on tap. Service was attentive, friendly, plenty of room to spread out and not be on top of your neighbors. I liked the open wall concept to allow more airflow.

Came to this place back in early May on a weekend getaway to Calistoga. *ATMOSPHERE* It is just a bit off the main street down a little walkway. As you enter there are metal benches along the right side leading all the way down to their big open outdoor sitting area. To the left is the bar, indoor dining, and bathrooms. The entrance to the indoor bar/dining area is really open with lots of space, doesn't feel too enclosed or claustrophobic. It was a Saturday night and while it was busy, it wasn't TOO packed which was nice. The tables in the open back area are all pretty spread out and was a seat yourself type situation. They had a band performing live music and the vibe was overall very chill and fun! *DRANKS* Got a few different options from the bar. After a long day of wine tasting, we decided to go on the beer/cider route instead of cocktails. We got: -Goat Rock Pear Cider - 5.8% - 12oz (can) - $6 -Napa Cider Co. Rosé Hard Cider - 6.73% - 500ml (bottle) - $8 -Barrel Brothers TRENDS (Slushy Beer w/ Guava & Pineapple) - 7% - 16oz (can) - $7 Everything was really good! We tried to stay local and/or unique things we've never tried and were not disappointed by anything. *FOOD* You order at the bar and they bring it out to your table. We got: -Chicken Wings (Buffalo, 6 sauce options) - 12 wings - $15 -Fish Tacos - 2 deep fried battered cod tacos, flour tortillas, coleslaw, pico de gallo, aioli - $14 -BBQ Brisket Sandwich - House smoked brisket, choice of cheese (we got cheddar), grilled onions, house made BBQ sauce, Texas toast - $15 The food was delicious! Everything was very tasty and well cooked. We ordered the wings extra crispy and they were meaty and flavorful. The fish tacos were pretty big and the aioli was yummy. The fries were tasty, though pretty basic. The one thing I would have wanted, was for the Texas toast to be a bit crispier, and also have some sort of spread on it. It was a little plain on its own and that would have made everything that much better with a little garlic butter or something! After we ate, we grabbed Round 2 of drinks and moved to a seat with a heat lamp closer to the entrance. A girl at the bar told me there was a group there celebrating the after party for a friend's wedding which was fun. The music was good, the vibes were awesome, and the food/drinks were delicious. Would definitely recommend checking this place out if you're in or around the area!

New owner and new items added to the menu. Love the local Q menu will now be here as well. Of course the beer is great too. Sports bar, with outdoor seating.

The food was alright I had a wing that was raw. This was also a bolt in my salad! Im sorry but thats such a discus. Sorry for the harsh language. Not even was there food was shit. I tried was my hands in the bathroom with my friend since are hands were dirty, and she yelled at us to get out and slapped me. Not that hard but such horrible service. I wouldn't recommend! Terrible Service, and Food!

OMG! We just had the most amazing burgers!!! So juicy and flavorful! I had L.A.B. and Hubs had the wino, yes he did . I asked for my onions grilled and the burger lettuce wrapped. I never thought I'd be this person, but I ate that burger with a knife and fork. To be honest it is much easier and this L.A.B. would have made a mess without a fluffy bun to soak up the juices. The kids both ordered western burgers and enjoyed them. Fries were good and plentiful. Nice long diverse list of beers and non-alcohilic drinks. Service was mighty friendly. We might just find ourselves here on then regular now that we found them. And FYI this is the owner of former taproom Sprenger's in Santa Rosa. We used to like going there and now I can say we like coming here.

We went here when visiting the area with family. The atmosphere was lively and it happened to be BINGO night. That was fun! The food however was a different story. The flatbread pizzas were made from store bought crusts and dripping with way too much cheese. The grilled chicken sandwich had a strange flavor, maybe the brown avocado was the issue. The House Salad ($17) included a pile of iceberg lettuce with brown edges, a pile of tasteless tomato cubes, a couple of croutons, and some raw red onion. The balsamic vinaigrette dressing was actually a balsamic reduction. The French fries and onion rings were okay, but nothing unique. The food took forever to arrive at our table and the prices were super high! I would not eat here again. Oh, and when I sent back my salad (as it was inedible) and asked to exchange it for something else on the menu, the cook refused. Instead he made me a new salad. The lettuce was fresher this time but the salad was not good overall and certainly not worth $17!!

First time at this establishment. Immediately welcomed by the bartender and was provided knowledge around the beers there. She also made some recommendations for appetizers since we were not super hungry. We both had a stout since it was a little cooler and they were good. Very flavorful and perfect. The food however is something I will be returning for to try other items. Sorry for the pictures. Once I took a bite I could not stop.

Love this place! The vibe is low key but the fun is off the charts! The food is great, the service is top notch. If you're in Calistoga on Thursday night stop in for karaoke! You won't be disappointed!

A bit overpriced for what it is. They don't make their own beer. Food is ok. Staff are great. Beer selection is fair. Given the available options there are plenty better places to go.

Food was good! Service not so much The ladies behind the bar were though. The gentleman bringing the food to the table was RUDE! We asked for silverware as we had a salad with our burger, he blew us off. We were there for our daughters birthday dinner after a day at Safari West. Made the drive and it totally wasn't worth it.

I came across this beautiful place while walking around Calistoga with my fiancé who really wasn't looking for any more wine - it was a hot day, and we just wanted a burger and a nice cool beer. Well thank goodness we found LAB, because that's exactly what they had! Not only is it a fun environment with occasional live music, Bingo, and other draws - they have 3 of their own brews on tap too! Their house IPA is killer if you like hoppy things. The food was also very tasty. We split a burger and a flatbread pizza; both were delicious - very fun flavors and they were cooked to perfection. I also must mention how wonderful and friendly everyone on staff is! We were just visiting the area, and they made us feel like locals. They were so wonderful we found our way back to Lincoln Avenue Brewing several times during our stay in Calistoga, and they remembered us! This family run joint is worth more than its weight in gold. This is a place not to be overlooked when visiting the Napa region and is one I would recommend to anyone for the food, great beer, and friendly faces. We will definitely be back :)

This place is pretty awesome. We stopped by here for some fresh food and good food. I ordered those tiny corn dogs for my baby girl. I got the Fish n Chips meal. Food was great. Nice beer battered fish with crispy fries. ALso had a drink of some great beer here. Nice bar area and wonderful staff. Cant wait to come back again.

We had a nice time, a few (maybe more than a few) beers, some corn dog bites and wings. Great service, loved the beer, loved the food, loved the football on TV and the atmosphere in general. It's a bit hard to find down the side street/alley but once there it's like you've arrived home! Check it out in Calistoga if you have time!

If I could give LAB six stars, I would. The owner, Jennifer, is the absolute best. Back in 2021, my wife and I were getting married just outside Calistoga and we needed a place to host our welcome party. We stumbled upon LAB and their great back patio. Damon (who is dearly missed) and Jennifer said they'd be happy to host our party. They were super easy to work with, and the party was a great success! Whenever we're in Calistoga we always visit LAB. The beer is great. Their cheeseburger is great. But most importantly, they're just the nicest people. If you're in Calistoga, visit Lincoln Ave Brewery!

If in Calistoga stop here for a great pub experience. They have a great selection on tap and some non alcoholic choices for the designated driver. The staff is super friendly and plenty of indoor and outdoor seating.

We enjoyed the mini corn dogs and fried pickles. Great beer selection. We want to come back with our friends soon!

Great, fun service! Everyone is jovial and friendly. We enjoyed live music and a fantastic pulled pork sandwich. The flatbread pizzas were also good. Outdoor and indoor seating options with many televisions to watch the sport games. Their beer selection is the best... and great prices.

Best burger I've had. No joke. Juicy and flavorful. I had the Jacks Burger and it was the right amount of warm heat with the saltiness of the bacon.

Fun place, semi outdoors. Excellent selection of brews. Mixed on the food. "Pizza" was literally just flat bread with tomato sauce and cheese slices on it. Burgers were good as were the wings. Relatively well priced for the area. Weirdly, they close early for a brewery.

Great addition to Calistoga!!! BEER Lincoln Avenue Brewery (LAB) has a few house beer on tap and the rest were guest beers. About 15 total on tap, nice variety. ~$6 I particularly enjoyed their Double IPA. WINE They also have wine on tap, about 6. ~$8 per glass FOOD Everything we tried (burger, pizza, fish tacos, banh mi) were all great! Fries were crispy and thin! Very reasonable prices $7 appetizers $10-13 entrees SERVICE There was a holiday parade going on the night we came in and so glad the bartender told us about that. Otherwise our cars would have been stuck and blocked for 2 hours! They accommodated us very quickly!

This place is the greatest! I am trying to get my good friend Doc craft and his van to come and play on a Friday or Saturday night.

It is my opinion that the LAB is just what Calistoga has needed for a long time. Sure, there are plenty of places to buy beer, and we have a few breweries/brewpubs in Santa Rosa and in Napa. However, having one in Calistoga is so incredibly special. The Lincoln Avenue Brewery is staffed with amazingly sweet, witty individuals who offer the kindest of customer services. Our gal, Katelynn (I'm sorry if I misspelled!) was an absolute gem. She checked in multiple times and even went out of her way to find out the brand of root beer for us. The food was incredible. For the most part, it's pub food--comforting, well-made and delicious. They also serve flatbread pizzas, fish tacos (!), and salads. They have a wide variety of beer on tap, as well as five of their own (I highly recommend the Double IPA!). We will keep coming back here, for sure! They have made our experience wonderful every time we've stopped by.

Very friendly service with comfortable family atmosphere. We were in town for one day went to calistoga inn and brewery but were very disappointed with unfriendly staff and landed in this place. It's not upscale but is friendly with great choices but beer and food with reasonable prices.

Staff & owner is amazing, beer is awesome (& very well priced), the food was delicious. Stayed in town for a few days & visited many other local establishments but this place was by FAR our favorite. We happened to show up on a Monday night when bingo was going on with locals and newbies. It was SO fun! We felt like family & this experience will be memorable for the both of us. Thank you guys for being awesome- each & every one of you!!!!

This was our second visit to L.A.B. We live about an hour and a half away. I had been craving the sweet potato fries since our first visit in June. They are the best I have ever had. Really like the chicken sandwich, we had wings and burger the first time and they were delicious. This time we had the smoke pastrami sandwich and the chicken sandwich. They are also very dog friendly. They brought a water bowl over before we even had ordered our beers. So glad for another dinner and beer option in Calistoga.

Lincoln Avenue Brewpub is a great place to enjoy a few local beers on tap. We arrived a little bit before opening time and the owners were very nice about it. They invited us in to order beers, choose a table and turned on an outside heater for us. I enjoyed their Juicy IPA and my spouse enjoyed their double IPA. When we put our order in, they doubled checked with the kitchen and their local bakery to confirm the pizza dough didn't contain a food allergy for my little one. I really appreciated them doing that. The pizza, French fries, onion rings and hot wings were all really good. It was fun to enjoy beers & indulge on pub food. Also, they brought over a dog water bowl for our pup. Our little one enjoyed playing corn hole with the other kids in the beer garden. I really liked their welcoming, comfortable, down to earth, hometown feel and atmosphere. We will definitely return to Lincoln Avenue Brewpub again, next time we are in Calistoga with our dog & kiddo.

Great burger and beers!! Staff is super friendly. Perfect spot for lunch! Definitely coming back when I'm in town.

Love this little hidden Gem! Great atmosphere, good music, amazing food! Staff are friendly and welcoming. The Ruben pizza is to die for! A all around great spot for a beer and bite!!!

Stopped by to pick sweet potato fries and they were huge and delicious. Will def be back. Thank you!

Delicious. Dirty burger and the artichoke hearts were my favorite! The owner is super nice, great guy!
