Floodcraft Brewing Co.

High quality brewery! Great beers, great atmosphere and perfect service! The “Sierra Nevada” IPA was perfect! Hope it won’t be only seasonal but permanent.

Excellent beer selection, with a lot of locally crafted brews, and friendly service. Ordered a few tasters and the bartender was super kind to make it a full flight on the house. Nice vibe too with the outdoors patio. No parking issues despite the location (right next to SAP center).

Blink and you’ll miss this elevated, second story taproom located above Whole Foods. I dropped in around 6 on a Wednesday and the place was poppin like the face of a teenager that just hit puberty. Luckily I was able to order relatively quickly and even luckier, I found a seat that overlooked the intersection with a view of the San José Shark arena, the fabled Shark Tank. The weather was great. The crowd was animated. The bartenders were tag teaming the line like the iconic WWE champs The Hart Foundation. And the Riwaka Juice Double IPA and Textured Shapes Triple IPA were delicious, golden sun goddess kisses to my lips. Notes: there’s an elevator for those that aren’t good with stairs and the restroom is on the first floor, but ask for the code ahead of time or you’ll be sorely disappointed.

Great spot to grab a pint and some light apps. Buffalo wings, sushi and the pretzel are all great. Awesome outdoor deck seating area with heaters in case it’s a little bit cold.

Nice craft beer selection right outside Whole Foods. Grab some takeaway and get a pint. It’s on the second floor, so the SAP Center and mountains make a nice backdrop.

Cool spot at a convenient location. Friendly bartender. Apparently them and Whole Foods brewery in TX are the only two breweries own by Mr Bezos.

Floodcraft Brewing. So I particularly like this location for a number of factors. First being is that it's connected to whole foods while I don't do a lot of shopping here I do like picking up food for lunch! Whole food's itself has a great little selection of local beers ranging from ciders to ipa! A little + is that they allow you to purchase beer downstairs and drink upstairs at the bar not forcing you to purchase from them directly. No floodcraft doesn't have a huge variety but there menu is always changing and they do have a nice variety. I don't always like what they are serving but more often then not they have something incredibly tasty to me lol I love the fact this location is just off downtown away from the usual hustle bustle bars. It also serves as a great little pregame spot before heading to the sap center for events or hoping on caltrains before heading to a giants game. The upstairs patio is open and usually a nice breeze. And night they have ceiling heaters that keep things at a comfortable temperature! Now I took one star away for one reason only seating is a little less than adequate. This place it does tend to get very popular and busy leaving pretty much standing room only, sometimes seats clear quickly sometimes they don't but it's lacking and definitely leave something to be desired. All in all I recommend this little spot to anyone looking for something new in the downtown area!

Great brewery attached to the whole good. They always have fresh local beers on tap. Specialize in pale ales and IPAs. They also offer food and snacks at the bar. You can also bring food up from the whole foods.
