We stopped in during a roadtrip as this location is easily accessible from the highway, with street parking all around. We order the 1/4lb tri tip, 1/2lb turkey, cornbread, bread roll, coleslaw, collared greens and broccoli salad. The food was great! They also have a variety of made in house bbq sauces, sweet and spicy, so it's good for every taste. Today I also got a blackberry tart ale which was delicious: sweet and slightly tart. My favorite thing about this place though is the atmosphere. They have both outdoor and indoor seating, and we sat in the side patio area which tends to be more quiet.

Second time here. I guess my first visit wasn't particularly memorable but this time was great…read more Menu options are a plenty, great vibe, and options for indoor and outdoor seating. When we first walked up, the place was super busy with the outdoor seating area and queue full. There were still members of our group that were on their way, so we didn't mind waiting in line. They had kids menus available to look at, and even thought the stack for regular menus was out, some people in line were kind enough to hand us theirs when they were done. I stared at the menu the whole time I was in line. I think I was just hungry and the strong barbecue smell in the restaurant was making me crave everything. I eventually landed on a barbecue burger and decided to sub the fries with collard greens to be somewhat "healthy," and also because my husband was getting fries. What's his is mine. Ordering at the register was quick. They had a nonalcoholic frozen drink option that I was tempted to get since I don't drink. I'd recommend giving it a try if you don't mind parting with $10. I think it was $2 extra dollars to get a similar drink with alcohol too. Also, there is a separate line for ordering beer, so if you have a decent-sized group like we did, maybe consider splitting up to grab a table and join the beer line. We lucked out with one of the longer tables next to the bathrooms. Side note: they have hand-washing stations separate from the area with the toilets, so super clutch if you just need to clean up before you start touching all your food. Our orders seemed to come out as they were ready, and overall maybe 15-20 minutes, which is decent considering how packed the place was. My burger was delicious. Meat was on the medium-well side, but I don't mind a little more cook as long as it's still juicy, which was the case. Cheese was melted, onion rings were crisp, bun wasn't soggy, and there was a generous bed of jalapeños under the patty. It wasn't overly spicy or anything, but it did provide a nice noticeable difference in texture. The collard greens, I would say right now, are pretty high on my list of collard greens I've had in my life, and I order them if I ever see them on any menu since it's not often I find them. It was a decent amount, but I wished there was double once I was done. As we were finishing our food, some nice staff members were quick to come clean up our dishes. We were so satisfied with our meal and drinks that we almost forgot we needed to catch an escape room!

You'll be lucky to have them serving you when you visit. I just can't say enough good things about this place. If you enjoy drinking with friends or just wanna spend your afternoon drinking a cold out on the patio, this is a top-tier brewery to visit in mid-town!

Everyone was super friendly and laid back. You can order at the tap or grab a seat and order via QR, which is awesome. Plenty of seating, spacious, good vibes, and they had Premier League on their massive TV. Beer was superb, kind of hard to review because I just love beer, man. We started with the shishito peppers, which were great and came with a really memorable miso aioli that was very addictive with a hint of lemon. We also got the "Fun Guy" pizza to share and made the mistake of removing the goat cheese, which I think hurt it. The crust was excellent and the toppings were fresh, but it felt like it was missing that salty, funky balance the goat cheese would've added. Still very good, but that one's on me. I'd definitely get it as intended next time. One of my favorite breweries, especially with so many having closed over the past few years. Cheers to them.

I came to visit my friends and we went to a brewery to catch up. My friend just bought a house and was moving, as well as having her birthday, so her ID was expired which we were not aware of. It happens. My friend was going to log into DMV just so she can show a valid ID the bartender but another woman working came up exclaiming they can not accept that and she will not get a drink. My friend did not argue about it and my other friend and I got our beers and sat down. We just wanted to spend time and catch up. My friend with the expired ID did not even take a sip of any drinks and respected the policy, the woman that we talked to earlier about the ids then proceeded to come up to us and say that we were sharing drinks, yelling and being very hostile. We were all confused because in no way, my friend even touched or drank any of the drinks. She insisted to call the cops. We then asked her if she had any evidence such as video footage and she said she did not have any access to that and she did not have footage. She said we were breaking the law and she will get the police involved for underage drinking. She was being extremely hostile. THANK YOU BY THE WAY SHE IS IN HER 30s BUT BESIDE THE POINT THEY REFUSED TO PULL UP THE FOOTAGE AND CORNERED US WHEN WE WERE DOING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. We even encouraged to call the police then she started back tracking. Their lead came in. We again, asked for the footage and he then, unrelated, said they are on the verge of closing rather than taking any form of accountability or apologizing for how his colleague was treating us. We asked for a refund and would leave, we were so uncomfortable. He then proceeded to say we did not pay for the drinks and I had to pull up my credit card statement to even prove it, which is absolutely ridiculous. I got our drinks and paid/ closed the tab before even sitting down. We asked to talk to a manager again. Mind you, we asked previously, and got the lead. The manager just asked if we were from the Bay and shook our hands instead of actually doing anything about the situation. I saw her hug the woman that was accusing after we were leaving which is absolutely ridiculous. Why would you encourage that type of behavior to your staff. Profiling in 2025 is insane. I feel bad for my friends. I feel extremely uncomfortable. Discriminating and accusing just because we are the only POCs in the room is so embarrassing. DO BETTER- NOT EVEN AS AN ESTABLISHMENT BUT JUST AS HUMAN BEINGS.

They offer inside and outside seating which is nice because the inside is a little small, but they have tables and chairs plus bar seating.

I have also tried their Chicken Banh Mi, Chicken Wings, Goat Cheese and Almond Stuffed Dates Wrapped in House Smoked Applewood Bacon and Spinach and Goat Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms plus a couple of their other pizzas - everything is usually pretty solid! I think their menu is always changing as well. I did not try their beers this visit, but my husband did and he is always a fan of whatever he orders. Staff is friendly and they give great recommendations. I like that they also offer Paint Nights, Trivia Nights and even Millennial Loteria Nights plus other events! We'll be back soon - check them out!

It's funny I've lived in the Sacramento area since 96 and somehow had never made my way to this neighborhood until the fore mentioned Yelp event,but let me tell ya-this neighborhood is so cute-coffee shops,bakeries,nurseries,restaurants,ice cream shops-it's got it all and this brewery is such an anchor for the neighborhood-a beautiful gathering spot to either begin or end your evening. This particular visit was great-the patio spot in the back where everyone hangs was great-such variety of people,ages,cultures-it was a true melting pot of all the things I love about Sacramento-I seen people with dogs-people with young kids,even babies in strollers-I saw people on dates-I seen people just hanging catching up after long week-it's such a chill spot-I loved it. Now let's get to the beer-we had 4 beers in total on this particular visit. 2 pints of The People Lager($7.50 each)-This is a great beer-feels like very friendly beer and easy drinking beer-I would get this again-7.8/10 rating 1/2 Pint Stout Kang Imperial($6.00)-This is the beer I came here for and I remember having it at the Yelp event-it's a very coffee forward stout and it's packs a punch-pretty sure double digit ABV-it's not for everyone-it's very strong but I love it-9.2/10 rating 22 ounce stein-Mystic Cloud($9.00)-This is a Hazy IPA and yep this was the star of the day for me-I loved this drink and as much as I loved the stout-this will be my order going forward-great beer-9.3/10 rating We also ordered the Pulled Pork Fries($15.00)-I had these on a previous visit-they were yummy then and they were even more yummy now after drinking almost 40 ounces of beer-I would fully recommend this as a shareable for anyone looking to eat a little something while enjoying the incredible suds they have at this brewery. Overall it was a great visit-I love these guys and gals who are running this brewery-they are all so friendly and welcoming and they are serving a superior product and the pride they have in their beer and food shows-I am so happy this brewery is a part of my world now and I can't wait to go back.

Some of this lot is taken up by the Taco Truck. The chicken and rice book was very good. The truck's drinks looked like they have been rattling around in the ice less bin for quite some time. To be fair, this is a small bar. I don't drink alcohol or coffee. So the options were very limited to chilled water which was nice to have available and juice. I had apple juice and water which was fine. The bartender was a nice man and the right amount of social with his customers. Despite the small bar itself, the two TV screens are a decent size with good quality pictures of two different sports (golf and soccer at the time). Convenient to hang out while, there is enough seating overall and a short walk from the dance studios and antique shops nearby.

Even though some of the music is eclectic or just hard to recognize, it's a lot of fun. Good idea to come with friends of all different backgrounds and musical tastes. Since At Ease does not have a kitchen, they have a food truck (not sure when but definitely on Friday nights) come out on the patio. They do offer free pretzels and sell small bags of chips, along with some merch. Staff is always friendly and welcoming. Dogs are welcome inside and on the patio. They offer 4oz flights ($15) of any 4 beers of your choosing. They have a good variety from light to dark, sours to ciders, and a few IPAs. I always find something I like. You can always ask for a sample to, if you don't want to commit. The staff are always accommodating and make suggestions if you need help.

I came to At East Brewing Company on a Saturday evening for plant bingo. The event was free to play and consisted of 10 rounds of bingo with the prizes being plants provided by Hydro Bliss Sac. Although I didn't win, I had a good time, got some good drinks, and was able to participate in a fun event. The plants looked really cool and whatever plants that were left at the end were for sale. From the entrance, the venue didn't look very big, but it was long and narrow and the back patio was more spacious. I ordered the Set & Drift, which was a black currant and orange sour. It was really good. I tried a sip of the Rucksack, which was a rice lager. Not bad, but not my beer. The beers were about $7-$8 a pint, but they have smaller options and a flight option. They also have a complimentary pretzel station and treats for dogs. Tip - go early for the plant bingo event. Even though we were on-time, the place was packed and it was standing room only. People who went 15 minutes early couldn't even find their own table and had to ask others to share their table. This event is only once in awhile so check their social to see when the next one is. They do have regular events like DJ bingo, trivia night, game night, and the left, right, left run club. They also have some special events - girl scout cookies and beer pairing, books and brews book fair, and bird watching and beer. They are closed Mondays and Tuesdays.

It does appear the back patio is dog friendly as well. We ordered the prosciutto and fig pizza, an OG pepperoni and the garlic breadsticks. It did take longer than I expected for our food, but we did come right at opening so maybe morning prep took some time. We really liked the prosciutto a fig, the balsamic glaze and the sweetness of the agave paired well. I do wish the garlic bread was more garlicky. It was more of a cheesy bread in my opinion, which was still delicious. We will definitely be back. And what's even better is Gunters is right down the street so you can enjoy a sweet treat after a nice meal and ice cold beer.

Entry: there's a line for ID check and wristbands, but it moves quickly. Restrooms: clean, 5 stalls per gender with plenty of sinks. No line when I went. Seating: mostly outdoor. Options include long canopy tables (fits: 6-8 people) or fireplace seating (extra $10). The building itself has really interesting architecture: loved it. There's also a small indoor area called "The Wing" with a nice bar and fun photo props. Service: ordering is done via QR code at your table and paid upfront. Food comes out fast (5-10 minutes). One hiccup: they dropped another table's pizzas at ours without confirming, and sauces cost extra, even basic ones like hot sauce have to be ordered online. Food & drinks: burgers, pizza, wings, fries. Drinks: beers and ciders. Highly recommend the lavender lemonade. Overall: great spot for casual hangouts with friends: definitely a fun place to bring guests.

We came it to just enjoy a quick beer and head out. The open space and kind of camp out vibe was amazing. If it's hot try to grab a space with shade otherwise you would get cooked. They have fire pits and games so you really can't go wrong. The food was ok, we got a pizza and the lemon hummus with veggies. The pizza was decent but the flour on the bottom took away the flavor. Mind you I love that they to woodfire pizza, I make woodfire pizza at home but ya just gatta watch the flour underneath to not lose the flavor or the crispness of the dough. The hummus was ok, I was hoping for a more lemony flavor and the veggies were cut really thin. As far as bang for you buck it was ok.
