It's been years since I've been here since I don't live close by and it's as good as I remembered. My friend and I stopped in on Sunday. They serve brunch until 2, which worked well for us. We received a friendly greeting when entering the bar and asking to sit outside. The patio is in the back and pleasant with wood tables and umbrellas. My friend enjoyed her eggs Benedict. I had the veggie burger and salad as a side. The dressing on the salad was excellent with a fresh flavor and balance. It was so tasty I didn't bemoan my choice to be good instead of ordering fries. I'd get it again. It appears they make their own veggie burgers and it's probably the best I've ever had with crispy edges and a hearty flavor. It comes with Romaine lettuce, tomatoes , red onion and slightly spicy pickles. Man, that was good! If I'm not driving next time I'll get the Bloody Mary or a beer. read more

Another overdue review - and one of my first of 2026! Happy New Year, friends, may it be a good one for us all. Located on the corner of Central and Webster, 1400 Bar & Grill has been an Alameda West End staple for many years, and we have been customers for over a decade. The owner Yani is a sweetheart, and very much present day-to-day in the restaurant. He knows all the regulars, and welcomes you in with a warm "Hello friends!". This place is great for any meal of the day, and as a late-night spot. When we come for brunch, I'll usually go with the Greek veggie omelette. When in the mood for pizza, their veggie pizza is honestly one of the best ones I've had - loaded with fresh veggies and in a pesto sauce - noms. They have a very nice patio in the back that's perfect to hang out on when the weather is warmer. If you're into sports, this seems to be a popular spot at which to watch 'the game'. Nice, unpretentious, local-friendly Alameda spot. Check it out next time you're in the area. read more

1400 Webster St Alameda, CA 94501 ( Cross St- Central Ave) It was Sunday, March 23, and the end of Alameda's Restaurant Week. I decided to drop by and grab a pizza to go, and give this place a second chance. I ordered the "The Alameata" pizza. I was told it's about a medium pizza, enough for 2-3 people. OMG! Pizza the way I like it! The Alameata Pizza is a balanced mix of pepperoni, sausage, and bacon with a thick blanket the cheese. The kind of melted cheese that streams off the pie. Beautiful strands of melted hot cheese. Thick and gooey. When you pull off a slice, hardly anything falls off. All the flavors are just right. The Alameata is a medium pizza, and it's about 14-15" wide. I asked for original crust. It was soft, and lightly crispy. I will be back! The other reviews are correct, the food is 5-stars here. "1400 Bar & Grill" is located in the 146 year old historic Croll Building. read more

Enjoyed the patio last Sunday with our dog. Loved that they bring you a dog bowl of water and have an actual dog menu. I've never seen that before and ours loved the chicken. The human food was delicious as usual and the drinks were even better. Service was a little slower than normal but tolerable and friendly. Recommend sitting inside if faster service is needed. Loved the shrimp and grits. read more

Came here on a weekday evening and was quite surprised at how busy it was. Had heard really good things, so wanted to try for myself. Food and Drinks: - Cucumber Jalapeño Margarita: I've had plenty of cucumber jalapeño margaritas that have been delicious - refreshing with a kick of spice. This drink tasted like jalapeño juice and tequila only. It wasn't refreshing at all and it was honestly quite a bad drink. I could only have 2 sips before I gave up. You can also see the one of us got cucumbers in our margarita and one did not. The drinks are also different colors. - French fries: these looked and tasted like they sat in the deep fryer for at least 5 minutes past when they should have been taken out. They were a dark brown and were very crispy. If you're looking for a strong and cheap drink, I can see the appeal to this establishment. Ambiance was like a sorts bar as there was a football game on and people at the bar watching. Not crazy loud, but still pretty loud. There are tables for larger groups and smaller groups. read more

Love you the Reuben with a side salad, love the nachos with bbq pulled pork, love the prime rib steak sandwich. The pizza looks great, but can't seem to get passed ordering the Reuben. lol Great old bar atmosphere with outdoor patio in the back if you don't want to watch all the tvs over the bar. Not a fancy place, feels like a neighborhood local bar with beautiful stained glass and art all over the walls. Great food worth trying it out! We are not really drinkers..,they have great tea, we go for the food! read more

I am a regular here, enjoy being able to come on the back patio, allowed to bring my well-behaved dogs and enjoy a well made cocktail and a simple dish. Reasonably priced. Always good drinks. The food is average to better.. My issue is that when a rowdy family comes in and the kids turn the patio into a playground, screaming and yelling, causing havoc and nobody does anything about it ?...I know how difficult it is for the proprietors. They don't want to get a bad review ..but let me tell you when you're paying a reasonable amount of money to enjoy a meal and cocktail and a nice ambience only to have kids screaming and yelling running all over the place ...it is not a good thing. Basically management needs to take control of these situations because obviously the parents are not able to do this. The kids are in charge :( read more

I have seen this place for decades and never once thought of going in. I was with friends and we were walking around so decided to give it a go. None of us have ever been inside. We were very pleased. Clean, spacious and ample selection of food. The span fries were killer but the Wings were a bit dry, sliders were very flavorful. I had an old Fashioned it Was just OK nothing memorable. Service was Awesome As Was the bartender. This was a neighborhood bar that was inviting with nice people Working there. Give it a go. read more

The best Bar food in Alameda hands down ! Cool old school vibe not a dive bar an old bar w/ the best food !!!

One of my most favorite restaurants. All of the staff is friendly and attentive to the customers. There's just the right balance of checking on you, but giving you the space to enjoy the company that you're with. The menu has a good balance of options, with some awesome pizza choices, Mexican dishes, and delicious classics. Great happy hour, too! Lots of delicious drink and food offerings. With the addition of the pool table and outside patio that is pet friendly, you really can't go wrong here. read more

The chicken burger I had was excellent! Fry's were perfect, I also had a fresh salad was great! The service we had was great fast and very friendly. The ambiance was like no other really cool sports memorabilia and pictures also had the game on. A must check out if you haven't been! Also a really chill outside area read more

The food deserves 5 stars but the service maybe 3 stars. I would've loved to give this restaurant five stars but the service/waitress we had did not pay much attention to our table. We had to get up a few times to go get more napkins and silverware and so did the couple next to us. We were going to sit outside on the patio, but unfortunately, no staff came out to take our order so we ended up going inside to eat. We ordered the spam fries and pulled pork sliders for appetizers. The spam fries were really good and the pulled pork sliders were good as well. We also ordered the Alameata pizza, it was good, crunchy crust, and the right amount of toppings. I did order two drinks from the bar. Really enjoyed the 1400 colada. My second drink was the Plank Tai and this drink was strong & good. My husband asked for a Coke soda and got a Pepsi instead. They carry Pepsi products instead of Coke. We will definitely try this place again and hopefully the service improves. I would love to enjoy an evening out on the patio and have a few drinks and some appetizers next time. Street parking around the restaurants and they do have meters active during the day. Unless you can find a parking in a nearby parking lot. read more

One star for friendly service and a welcoming atmosphere. One star for being one of the few places in Alameda to get a late dinner. One star for a pretty good meal. Could have been two or three stars for the food. I had The Greek roasted half chicken. The chicken was good, nicely seasoned and flavorful. The spinach and kalamata olives complimented the chicken nicely but the portion could have been a little bigger. The roasted potatoes were a big disappointment, undercooked and with no seasoning. read more

First time here, went with a local. Nice interior, great service, seat cushions were worn out. I ordered a salad, "shepherds pie" special and cheesecake dessert. I put that in quotes because this was not shepherds pie. It was basically a lamb stew that was heavy on the tomato broth. Shepherds pie typically has mashed potatoes in it and isn't "soupy". This was not shepherds pie and it's a travesty to call it that. Although the meal was decent, it was on the greasy side and disappointing. Two square slices of cheese on top just made it look even less appetizing. Probably wouldn't go back. read more

after a day of sailing on the bay, we stopped off here to grab a quick bite. We were seated right away at excellent service in the food was superb. The Reuben sandwich looked and smelled delicious as my friend gobble it down in the Hawaiian pizza with a twist was outstanding. The extra little treat that they stick on there was a special surprise. I highly recommend this establishment. read more

Service was nice at first, then the waiter deliberately ignored us. It was a slow day and we wanted to enjoy drinks before ordering. We asked the waiter to give us a few more minutes. After that, waiter wouldn't even look at our table or check in with us. He walked by our table several times and we could not catch his eye. We had to yell to get his attention. Drinks were fine but the food wasn't. The pulled pork sliders were dry and bland, the blackened chicken sandwich was meh. There were four of us and none of us would recommend this place. It's too bad because it's a great historic bar and building in a great location. read more

We came into town with a group of 12 without dinner plans. Found 1400 Bar &Grill and we were so happy we did. Not only did they accommodate our group last minute, but the food and service were fabulous! I am horrible with names or I would give a shout out to our waitress. I would highly recommend you include 1400 Bar &Grill when you are in the neighborhood. read more

Our neighborhood bar and grill...and we love them! Their back patio is the best part. They're so kid friendly - both inside and outdoor seating. But outside has fire pits, friendly crowds and plenty of space for the kiddos to run around (attended of course.) The menu is huge with pizzas always a hit, as well as their seafood. At least one of us orders their fish and chips every time we go and they even had a prime rib special the last time we were there. Spam fries are also another fun order. Drinks are standard but good. They used to have a spiked hot cider that I loved and the beer selection is big. Also, if you're there right at 5PM, make sure to take advantage of their whiskey special. IYKYK. read more

Arrive between 5-5:15 to get a Grandma Cooper for $1.05. Apparently, she lived to 105 and drank one everyday. They go down a little too easy and pair well with the pork sliders and savory mac and cheese. The chocolate cake is a mix of moist, chocolate cake and vanilla, though I'll have to try another dessert next time. This is a good place for a casual evening, especially if you're interested in watching some sports. And, it's a short walk to the beach at Crab Cove. read more

We stopped by this cozy local bar/grill for Brunch on a Sunday. Easy street parking if you come before 11am, though I can definitely see that the parking situation can be difficult as it gets closer to lunch. We were greeted promptly by the waitress and seated quickly. I do think there may be a bit of an understaffing issue, as our waitress was basically taking orders for the whole restaurant. Waving the waitress down to take our order was a bit of a challenge. With that being said, You can clearly see that this was a local watering hole that is loved by the community as everyone that walked in was on a first name basis with the staff. As for the food, it was hot and delicious. We had the Greek Veggie omelette, shrimp and grits, and the spam fries. Their shrimp and grits was fantastic, with the grits being made with cheddar cheese and jalapeños, the grits can also be ordered on their own as a vegetarian side. The spam fries were salty, savory, and crunchy, worth trying once, though it reminded me of County Fair food. Overall would recommend for the food and atmosphere but understand that service may be a bit slow if the restaurant is busy. read more

1400 B&G is located at the old Krolls location on the corner of Webster and Central. Likely a historically significant building with an old wooden bar. 1400 has both indoor and outdoor dining with large Flat Screens in the restaurant. Good for watching Bay Area sports teams. We sat at the last table outdoors even though we had made a reservation. The table seemed like an afterthought and was off to the side. We were seated with half of us arriving early and the other half on time. Water was brought out but not enough glasses or settings. Eventually rectified. The group ordered drinks, entrees (Meat Loaf, Fish and Chips, Pork Belly Sliders, Salad, Lamb Burger, etc.. we ate it all up and the food appeared to please everyone. I particularly liked the Fish and Chips, fries ok but Fried Fish was crunchy on the outside and nice and tender in the inside. The spritzer bottle of Malt Vinegar caught us by surprise as it looked more like hand sanitizer. Overall, good food while the service could be a little better. 20% mandatory gratuity on parties of six or more, maybe that's why our server didn't need to smile or pay much attention to us. read more

Tried this place with a couple of friends yesterday. People are friendly and nice - great service! Bar does a nice job with beers on tap and a generous glass of wine! The place is a bit grungy - needs new flooring - carpet is never a good choice in a restaurant/bar. I hear the patio is great so next time we will sit there! The food - My dining partners - loved the Ruben Sandwich - generous portions and nicely done! Comes with choice of fries - potato salad or green salad. My other dining partner had the salmon - she loved it! Salmon was not over cooked - the potatoes were excellent. Unfortunately - I ordered the special of the day - which was a french dip sandwich. I love french dip!!! This one was not great. The beef had a lot of grissle and fat in it and the meat was very over cooked. Usually these are not deal killers if the dip is good. I believe the chef doesn't know what Au Jus is. The sandwich was served with pan dirppings - a float of fat on top of the au jus coated the dipped sandwich in grease - not flavorful or appetizing. Au jus is beef broth not pan drippings. Beef broth from a can would have been better - I actually use boxed broth that I doctor up with herbs and shallots. The broth soaks the bread in goodness and makes well done beef manageable. I had to send the sandwich back - and completely lost my appetite for anything else. However - and this is huge!! I ordered potato salad with my sandwich. IT IS THE BEST potato salad I have ever had!! Lots of crunchy celery not too much onion - dressing is great - potatoes soft but not mushy - I will go back to 1400 just for that potato salad!! read more

Cheers vibe. Always have a good time when I go. Been going here for a long time. Food is better than you would think

It's been a few years since I tried here again. Never a good time, food or friendly service. Since Chris and Christian left(love the Boathouse) why bother? Exactly. Yet I tried. Ordered a Margherita pizza. Does anyone know what that should be, look like, taste like? Mozzarella, tomato sauce and basil, 9/10 times. This? Raw sliced, flavorless tomatoes on a cheese pizza. I'm floored at the lack of even trying to make it look like a Margherita pizza. Let alone taste decent. I know, owners have said before when service and food was bad, "don't come back then". Okay, you win. read more

Maybe I ordered the wrong item, but the burger and fries were mediocre at best. Fries too crispy and overcooked. Lots of people in there, so it's popular. Nice ambiance. Habit or In n' Out are far superior and that's rare to say that fast food tastes better. read more

I like the back patio and the general vibe of this spot. Came last weekend with a burger craving--unfortunately the burger was super dry, not seasoned enough, and it seemed like they split the patty in half when cooking to test if it was done (causing the whole thing to fall apart). Will give them another chance, but it was a bit of a disappointment... read more

It's too bad this neighborhood bar has gotten so expensive. Yes, prices are going up with everything but unfortunately, it's not worth it here. The service isn't great anymore and there's often a strange smell which makes you not very hungry anyway. The drinks are....something. Strange really. Stick with beer and play it safe. Bummed this used to be a fun neighborhood bar but it's overpriced for the quality now. read more

First time here. We waited a few minutes to be seated outside no problem We got seated we waited for 30 minutes before leaving. Not one time did the waiter approach us, or even acknowledge us!!!!! We saw the waiter walking passed us about 15 times serving other customers water, giving customers drinks and food. Picking up empty bottles of beer. We were the only NON WHITE customers. I can't help but feel some kind of way. I hate having to "go there" but it is what it is!!!! Even a customer who was sitting at the table next to us mentioned HEY YOU GUYS ARE STILL WAITING. Like if that doesn't speak volumes I don't know what does. For other customers to NOTICE the fact that we have not been attended to. We walked out But not before telling an older gentleman who worked there what happened Then the waiter came to try and defend his blatant act of horrible customer service and discrimination. It took all of me to keep my composure. He claimed he didn't "see us". I said how could you. NOT SEE US. You served the people behind us and to the side of us. BUT OKK. Well WE SEE YOU. I have waited tables before and IT IS YOUR JOB TO SEE CUSTOMER AND ACKNOWLEDGE customers. So don't go there. Furthermore there was only 4 other tables 2 of which had food order and 2 of which had drink orders only. MISS MEE YOU DIDNT SEE US. BUT GUESS WHATT WE SAW YOU!!!!!!! read more
