I discovered they are closing after 25 years!!!! And if you are following, you KNOW I support good businesses closing and new businesses opening! But I am sad... Quality/Quantity - Surprised, but not surprised on the limited selection on tap... Today I got the following: Oktoberfest - Had to support as I will be out of the country (again) for this event. But my daughter will still support. Hazy Brew Free or Die IPA - Several of these, as this is one of their signature beers!! Crispy Cheese Curds - To bring back my Milwaukee experience! I would have preferred a more crispy fry, but it was still so good!! Especially with their beer. Ambiance - Consistent. Huge space, both indoor and outdoor. Lounge and picnic table seating. Service - Tayler/Tyler (sp) was great. I think he has been serving me for years; he still remembers me, lol. But because I am an excessive drinker, I still can't remember his name, so sorry!!!!! Price - $26 Includes 4 taxes and a CA special tax??? + a generous tip. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2000 and with your two locations. Triple Rock Brewery has created so many owners of other breweries! Congrats on your success at this location since 2015; we have been customers from day 1. This place was hopping, pun intended, when you first opened. The best part was that I discovered you by accident, by just driving by! I am so sad that another brewery is closing... I do my share to support, but there are just too many craft breweries... read more

Whenever I'm in the area I make it a point to stop at this brewery / tap room. It is one of the largest facilities around with huge amount of seatinf both indoors and outdoors. They often have bands here. My favorite is an old-time civer band called The Copycats. Think of Davy Jones and the Monkeys. Hey wait a minute-- I just realized something. I bet they call themselves The Copycats because they do cover of all kinds of famous'70s music. I usually get one of their lighter beers called "El Sully." Here's a secret-- please don't tell anyone else. Sully is named after one of the owners. This is just a wild guess, but I think his last name must be Sullivan. One of the main reasons I come here are the friendly bartenders. There are always friendly and helpful. It makes for a nice visit. I have never been disappointed. Thank you for adding such a wonderful asset to this community. read more

21st Amendment Brewery- Taproom - Breweries Near Me - San Leandro, California

One of my first and one of my last San Francisco brewery introductions, I first came here in 2012, and back in 2025, wow am I aging myself? Maybe, but one thing that's stayed consistent is delicious and refreshing beer. There tap room is large and accommodating for big groups. I've also attendee their block party style events and had more than my fair share of their watermelon beer, which is refreshing on a warm SF day. The service has always been great, even during large and crowded events. The interior is also cool, and not too. much has changed from my memory during my last visit. I'm happy they're still around, much like a couple other breweries, they're mainstays...just wish they sold to the midwest! read more

A great place to grab a bite and drink! They have a lot of seating available, both indoors and outdoors. Their menu is small but they do have daily specials. I tried their chicken pesto flatbread which was so flavorful and filling! The service was great. They helped me pick a beer that I would enjoy. read more

Our virgin trip here, thanks to Yelpers for the suggestion. It's a huge warehouse where brew is made onsight. We had the fish (beer battered w/brew made here) and chips as well as a cheeseburger w/garlic fries. I had the porter brew (Niantic) and hubby had a soda. Due to the breezy conditions, we ate swifty, could of used a down jacket or sweater. We'll be back when it's sunnier and dine outside on the patio. Service: on point and quick. Couldn't decide on which beer so I was offered a tasting of two beers, hmmmm, they were both tasty. Both women behind the counter were friendly and helpful. Food is cooked in the trailer. Bonus: more than ample off street parking. read more

Good brewery for IPA lovers. I personally don't enjoy hoppy beers, but 21st Amendment is an IPA-lovers dream, with the majority of their brews being IPAs. Met a friend here on a Sunday afternoon and they had live music and a record-swap event in addition to the beers and food truck. The food we ordered were all pub-favorites: fried cheese curds, loaded tater tots and a pulled pork sandwich with fries. It's been a minute since I've eaten so many fried foods with beer, and I definitely felt it later! The beers were ok (if not my preference). I did enjoy their seasonal pumpkin beer and porter, and would definitely order those again. read more

I saw on the news that both Bay Area 21st amendment brewery locations were set to close on 11/4/2025 which was sad to hear. I used to come here often but I've been coming less and less over the past few years. A lot of new breweries have been popping up all over the Bay Area that I have wanted to try while 21st amendment has remained mostly unchanged for me. My favorite drink was always their hell or high watermelon beer. On its own, the beer tasted fine. I never expected having a wedge of watermelon in the beer to create such a crisp and refreshing taste. The watermelon soaked in beer was a nice sweet treat at the end as well. I was never a fan of fruity alcohol drinks but this was the only one I ever liked and was a perfect drink on a hot summer day. I always liked how spacious this place was and there was plenty of seating inside and outside. The atmosphere was really laid back and was a great place to meet up with friends. The staff here were very nice and knowledgeable about their beers. The stacked cans in the back were impressive to look at. The one thing I never had to worry about was the parking and there was plenty of free parking all around. I was never a fan of watching a game here since I thought their TVs were small. I remember when they had a big projector screen showing the game but it was so hard seeing over the glare. The other thing I didn't like was their porta potties outside. Thankfully, they were somewhat clean when I needed to use them. I just wish they had some real restrooms with all the space they had inside. These were things that were passable and I was hoping that they could have improved on. I'm saddened that this place will be closing in a couple of weeks. All the best to the owners. Thanks for the good times and introducing me to watermelon beer. read more

First time visiting their main brewery! I visited another branch in SF, and during that time they didn't have their signature Hell or High Watermelon beer. So this time I finally got to try it! Here's a breakdown of my delightful experience: Hell or High Watermelon Wheat: This American wheat beer, infused with real watermelon, surprised me with its crisp, dry, and refreshing flavor. Perfect for warm days! Brew Free! or Die Blood Orange IPA: A twist on their classic IPA, this version features abundant blood orange puree and citrusy hops. Refreshingly different! Peanut Butter Porter: With its rich coffee fragrance and smooth peanut butter notes, this porter is a true treat for the senses. Brew Free! or Die IPA: The reimagined year-round IPA combines golden malts with dynamic hop aromas. A classic with a twist! read more

I came here before a Giants game, which seems to be the tradition now! We were seated quickly and ordered some of our usual delights, including, for me, the cheese curds and the sishito peppers. The food took a while to get to the table, as it was a busy place at that time. Yet, the benefit was that the food was hot and fresh. The peppers were just out of the cooker, so to speak, and the cheese curds were also the hottest I remember. Very nice. The peppers were a good size, very large compared to what I have found elsewhere. The cheese curds were not so large, and it seems the serving size gets smaller each time we visit, every year or so. Check out my past reviews for comparison photos. Still, they were tasty. The service was spot on, friendly, courteous and professional . . . Overall, still a good meal for the price, ambiance, and food quality. Can't wait 'til the next game day! read more

We recently heard in the news that this brewery company is closing down. That was the first time we heard of this brewery. It's too bad we only heard about it recently because we went there today and thought the food and beer and location was good. We'll go again before they shutdown. We went on a Saturday afternoon. There was plenty of parking. The indoor area was spacious and airy (warehouse) but I can see if there's a large crowd, then there's not enough tables. As we were leaving, I noticed there weren't tables available and customers were standing around crowded tables. There were outdoor tables, too, but we didn't eat there. Ordering was easy. They charge a "CA special tax"?? Not sure what that is. You're given a buzzer then later pick up your food at the food truck which seems to be run by another company?? The chicken quesadilla and cauliflower dishes were really good. The fish and chips were only so-so because the fish was a small portion and one piece was overcooked. The southwest salad was okay. The pumpkin haze and blood orange beer were decent. Outside is the food truck and the bathrooms. There are also outdoor tables. Lots of flies were buzzing around the food while we were eating in the indoor warehouse seating area. That was annoying. I guess there isn't a way to keep them out with fans or something?? You get your napkins and utensils yourself. You pick up the food at the food trailer yourself. When you're leaving, you bus your own table. We don't mind this self-service. When you order your food at the counter, you'll be asked for the tip when you pay at the counter, so if it's your first time at this brewery, keep the self-service in mind when you're deciding the tip. We didn't know it was mostly self-service since it was our first time here. It's too bad you don't pay at the end since you can then tip appropriately based on actual service and food. We had leftovers but there weren't any to-go containers in the self-service area. The counter staff also said there weren't any to-go containers. So how do people do take-out?? I understand that maybe this company is not stocking up on some supplies since they're going to shutdown soon, but it seems really odd there wouldn't be a way to take food to-go. read more

Great selection! Food came out quickly, I highly recommend the burger, it hit the spot! The onion ring stack was awesome and very crispy! The meat was very juicy and tasty, not a fan of the bbq sauce in it. However, the place was really chill and laidback. The people were great, easy going, and made recommendations. Overall a good experience :) read more

Such a cool place! It's tucked away in a business park and if you didn't know it was there you would never see it. They have a great selection of craft beers and will let you sample any and all until you find your favorite. They have a little food truck that serves small bar food items, nothing special. The employees are super friendly and helpful with helping you select a beer. They have a bathroom trailer set up which is clean but with such a big space, they should have an indoor bathroom. Had a great time though read more

Fast forward return a year later lots of changes not for the good. Food truck food bad in a big way ( great cheeseburger gone but -not sure y) maybe seasonal just as the beer listing was changed... might revisit this coming summer then again might not cause I was highly disappointed. read more

Dropped by on St. Patrick's Day with my husband to get a nice walk in and enjoy a fun meal together. They have substantial parking and a decent amount of outdoor seating. It was unusually warm this afternoon but we preferred to sit inside near the open entryway. It's massive inside this brewery. There's a lot of space on one side for tables and the other for games, like cornhole and arcade basketball. The lively Irish music they were playing made for nice ambiance and wasn't very loud, so we could hear each other while we talked. I got the Baja Fish Tacos ($15) and Nico's Tater Tots ($8), while my husband got the Turkey BLT Sandwich ($15). Not only was everything delicious and fresh, but the portions were really generous, especially for the tots. We ended up taking most of them home with the fries that came with my husband's sandwich and reheating them in the oven the next day. The Sriracha aioli was really tasty; I'm not much of a fan of Sriracha but thought this was pretty good and wanted to put it on other stuff. I loved my fish tacos; the fish was crispy on the outside and perfectly cooked inside, and there wasn't an overwhelming amount of slaw on the tacos, which can often feel like it's being used as filler to give you less fish. Really delicious overall. My husband liked his sandwich and also liked the beer. While I'm not a beer drinker, he loves it, and he seemed pretty happy with his meal and drink overall. I'd definitely come back here. There's a lot on the menu I'd like to try, and the staff were super friendly. Service was fast, too. Great first impression and great part of the San Leandro food and drink scene. read more

21st Amendment was such a cool brewery to stop and see. I was able to grab a bite to eat as well as a drink. My pulled pork sandwich and Loaded Tots were really good. They have so much space and everything is well set up. The brewtender was super sweet and extremely helpful when it came to ordering food and picking out a beer. My only upset was they did not have any sours on tap or seltzers but lots of IPA's if that is what you like. read more

This was our first time at a brewery that we have always loved their beer. We were around the corner and I Yelped something and it came up. There is plenty of parking in the front of the large building that houses the brewery. We walked down the side area where there are lots of large picnic tables to share and almost fell over when we walked in. The place is humongous inside. We were greeted right away and asked about their beers. I wanted to order a flight but couldn't choose what I wanted. It is a set selection. They have about 11 beers to choose from. We sat outside to enjoy the sun and there were quite a few people there. There are restrooms outside. They allow dogs and well behaved children. read more

We stopped here before heading to Oakland Airport to head home from vacation. We got their watermelon beer and their sour, both were good and had great fruit flavor. We also got a few different flavors of wings, a flat bread and a chicken sandwich. All were quite good. The wings had good flavor, but were a tad on the dry side, but that is being picky. We also got the loaded tots, which were hot, crispy, and delicious! We also liked that there was a large outdoor patio that was covered, that we could keep an eye on the car with all our luggage. read more

This is my favorite local brewery spot. I'll try to be short and to the point on this one since I usually am long winded. Environment is spacious and welcoming, they have picnic tables inside and outside for seating arrangements. The space is enough where you aren't hearing everyone's conversations around you. The food menu is on the smaller side but the food is very good. The tater tots are legit, they use old bay seasoning on them which takes it to the next level. The sweet chili wings are very solid as well. Service is quick and easy, they are friendly too. Easy to keep a tab open and order as many brews as you want. I've brought anyone from my father to my friends to my fiancé here. They have a live band from time to time as well just a heads up! read more

Having heard about 21st amendment Brewery on the east coast way back in college, I was excited to swing by here and check out a physical location and try some beer. Stopped by here with my girlfriend last week to have some light snacks before heading to a movie at the theater in the Bayfair mall. We picked up two small beers - one Hell or High Mango and an El Sully. Both beers were light and refreshing. For food we grabbed an order of the Fried Cheese curds and the garlic fries. Both items were great and the portions were massive for the price! The Taproom itself was very nicely set up - the outdoor section had plenty of room and the indoor space was also nice with an area for Corn hole and more seating. Will definitely be swinging by here again to try more beers and to check out the events that are happening at the tap room in the future. Will definitely be read more

Pretty chill brewery. Liked how big and open it was. Was happily watching the Niners game and then all of a sudden it was location locked and no one fixed it. Sad days.

So glad we made a stop in San Leandro on the way back from Oakland. So neat to see the brewery that makes some of my fav canned beers. I was able to try the Hell or High Mango on tap! So delicious. I also tried one of the colab beers they had on tap, I tried the Field Work, very good as well. Huge murals in this huge space , lots of places to sit inside and out. Friendly bartenders wearing masks-such a cool vibe here! San Leandro you are lucky! Will definitely stop by anytime I'm in the area. Note: they only had porta-potty's--very clean ones but just in case that's not your thing just plan ahead. read more

Food: it does what it needs to do. Basically food for the kids and to sober up. Bar food at its finest, but they do have salads, so that is nice. The fries were my favorite.

Nice music Service: super fast and automated with ordering via phone. Cool spot to check out read more

Great 21st Anniversary Party yesterday at the brewery! The weather was perfect (not too hot or too cold) and a great crowd. The whole event was run seamlessly. There was a great beer lineup including 8 - 21st Amendment plus 5 - Collab Beers with Faction Brewing, Three Weavers Brewing Company, Fieldwork Brewing Company, Urban Roots and Melissa Myers. Also, Cleophus Quealy had a stand. Our most favs of the day were the 21st Amendment Random Hop Generator Hazy DIPA and the Fieldwork The Clear Hunter IPA. Delicious! One thing we really appreciated was the attention the pourers paid to giving full pours without too much head on them. There was great live music. Both bands kept the party going. Perfect music selection for the crowd (70's & 80's rock, classic soul and r & b). We tried some great BBQ brisket from Urban Roots (who have a brewery/smokehouse restaurant in Sacramento). Very moist and tender with great dipping sauce. We loved that it wasn't overly salty like BBQ can sometimes be. We also had the Roadhouse Rotisserie chicken, which was also great; very moist, great flavor and a nice spicy side of sauce. We chatted with many friendly folks at our table. Everyone was having a great time enjoying the music, food, and beer. A great vibe and day. read more

For years I'd wanted to visit, learning about their barleywine winning medals when they began, being an avid brewer. This place has several defects which need correction. The handicap of being in an industrial warehouse area has been well figured out with Drake's but not 21st Amendment. The GOOD The food is excellent and only hindered by a lack of metal utensils, making the salads hard to eat and mix. All the food I had was quite good and brought to the table using a QR code quickly. The service is excellent. They have wifi. They appear dog friendly, They'll put sports contests on TV for you as requested. The BAD: The facility is too warm from having the production floor in the taproom. They have an insane amount of space which used to be for games that's no longer there and forces patrons to walk into the back of the building from the parking lot. There's not enough shade outside and the warehouse gets warmer than the ambient temperature outside in late afternoon. The open space isn't being properly utilized and forces patrons to sit in the packaging operation. The bathroom situation is quixotic; they have high-end portable bathrooms outside and no sanitizer inside. They're aware of this and working on it, but the overall design, layout and overall operation is very flawed...I'm just a brewer and not Jon Taffer, either. They're missing the boardwalk in the parking lot and generally the taproom was designed like a couple drunk undergrads in a dorm room. It'a neat for some to be able to see the brewing operation, but it's too uncomfortable to relax. There'a not enough beers available on-tap (or to go) and they suffer from having too polarized an offering. Their Irish stout is good, but they mostly produce hop heavy IPA's. They are clearly more interested in selling canned beer instead of a taproom and having the public on the property was an afterthought. Why this place needs is quite literally a complete design overhaul like the television series Bar Rescue. They also need to brew a more complete offering and have more beer available. More shade outside, some misters and heaters and the entire front needs to be used for cooled, inside seating. Basically, the entire public area need to be reorganized inside and out. They have the capability to make good beer, have good staff and food, so they could easily go from 2 to 4 stars following my facilities advice herein and 5 stars for having a happy hour, customer loyalty program and more complete beer offering. They need to stop trying to put watermelon in a third of their beers and reorganize their brewing lineup. Probably only half of the offerings should stay. The frozen slushy drinks are terrible. Change is messy and this place needs to make some hard decisions and nuke a number of it's offerings. This place has much potential, but Yelp feedback I've read about the SF location suggests they have much to learn. This is a business which has struggled to scale and grow properly and the result is a terrible customer experience that's preventable. This suggests their biggest impediment is poor management, hence everything else would be vastly different. read more

Having grown up in the East Bay Area, I am SO glad to see more breweries pop-up, which allows for such a fun, casual place to catch up with others! No longer in the area as often, my friend had suggested we head to 21st Amendment to chat and catch up. We came in on a weekday at opening...and there was NO ONE inside yet. There are plenty of tables inside, and on good-weather days, they have a nice outdoor faux patio area to enjoy the fresh air and beaming sun. Each table has a QR code where you place orders for food and drinks. If you're worried about splitting bills, you can keep your order separate or pay for the entire table--love that they offer these options! My friend and I split two food items and each ordered a beer. I had the Hell or High Mango and enjoyed the fruity notes in the light beer. One thing of note was that bathrooms were outside in one of those detached bathroom-trailers. Overall, I really enjoyed the space! Service was great...efficient and easy! Food is as expected and pairs well with your beer. A great place to hangout with friends or have a casual meet-up! read more
