This location of Barebottle brewing is very large and clean. On the far left side is the bar, and on the far right side is a cozy section with couches, pinball machines, and games. The middle has many tables for patrons to sit at. We parked (incorrectly) in some random parking garage, but you're supposed to park right across the street; Follow the signs for restaurant and shops parking (that we somehow missed). After a short wait on a Sunday afternoon, the bartender allowed us to taste a few beers on the menu that caught my eye. The cider (for you non beer drinking folk) was dangerously delicious and I really enjoyed their "fruited sours" line. Definitely would come back to relax at this location. read more

CAN'T BELIEVE ITS BEEN 5 years since my first review here. Nothing has changed though, still a 5 star spot. Would give it more if I could. The beers are so unique and flavorful. I love that they have a large focus on sours and now they even offer cider from a local cider house. You have to come check it out. Vibes are on point, such a chill spot. They also have pizza which is a major plus, especially because it is so delicious. Now I saved the best for last, the service is incredible. These people treat you like family. Such a warm and welcoming environment! S/O to Gabby, Cole, Rachel, and Matt! Thank you for being awesome. Very pet friendly! read more

Super fantastic spot! We work across the street and had a sales event. I reserved the lounge area - it was two couches and a few tables right next to the video games. It's a great space and I would say the pricing is fine - most event venue places if you spend a minimum, the facility is not charged. They charge, which is fine when its reasonable, which I think this is. Food - I would not call them pizzas, even deep dish pizzas, they are like focaccia pies with the most fantastic toppings - fresh, plentiful and really fun flavor combos! From the meat to veggie options - our team loved them all. I love the variety. One pizza feeds 2-3, but really most people had 1 piece and felt full. Wings are fine - think they pre-frozen and come out with a few sauces, that's great. Tater tots = amazing and then they have a few other side combos - like artichoke hearts and yummy brussel sprouts (yes I said yummy). I really enjoyed the food and it was PERFECT for our welcome reception. Our team would go up to counter to order their beverages, seamless - really nice pours and great options! No complaints on options at all! The staff - AH-MAZING! Gabriella helped us book our food for the day, I went earlier and she took such great care of me. Matthew and Ariel(sp) were there in the evening with Mathew doing the heavy lift for delivering all of our food. He was wonderful! We really appreciated the service. The only issue I have is the archaic/convoluted ordering process - it's not clear how you order your food if you reserve a space. They have a catering option, but it says what time for pickup - which is confusing, and when you reserve a space, you do have some expecations that someone is there to support you! So I would just make it more clear. But I emailed the support and had an answer within an hour or two, so that was wonderful! All around, love it - I probably won't be back until AFTER superbowl - but looking forward to planning my next event! read more

We visited on a Saturday late afternoon. Parking is a little tricky. You need to park by the Whole Foods area and then walk. They have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. There is music playing. There are ping pong machines. There are restrooms with coed shared sinks. You can ask the cashier to give you a sample of the beer. I had the Koga Kola (2/5), lager (4/5) and wings (5/5). The wings were delicious. Enjoy read more

Very casual brewery with a fun atmosphere. It definitely gets busy depending on the time you go, but it's a great spot for a work happy hour or to hang out with friends after work. The beer was decent from what I tried, and the food coming out to other tables actually looked really good. I'd come back again to try more of the menu and give it another shot. read more

Food was good and beer was good until your employee Ariel became sick and asshole I have been a customer of Bare Bottle for several years and have always enjoyed visiting your establishment. However, during my visit today, I experienced what I believe was discriminatory and unfair treatment by one of your employees, Ariel Magalhaes. At first, he did not accept my ID through E-Verify. Although this was inconvenient, I understood and provided my physical photo ID in order to purchase beer. I then chose the flight menu. After I selected the first beer, he asked for a second ID. I was confused, as I have never been asked to provide multiple IDs when ordering a beer flight. Nevertheless, I provided another ID from my friend. However, he then asked for a third ID, which made the situation feel unreasonable and targeted. It seemed as though he was suggesting that multiple IDs were required for a single flight order, which does not make sense. I also noticed that other customers did not appear to be asked for photo ID during the ordering process in the same way. In addition, when I returned to order the third beer, I was told that I had to return the first empty "done" glass before continuing. I did not see other customers being treated this way. The overall experience made me feel singled out, embarrassed, and discriminated against. What made the situation even more upsetting was that Ariel threatened to make us leave without refunding the beer. He also made a comment saying, "I haven't seen you for the past two years," which felt inappropriate and irrelevant. As a long-time customer, I do not understand why I was treated in such a disrespectful and hostile manner, especially during a holiday visit. I am writing to formally request that your management team investigate this incident. I would appreciate an explanation of your ID policy for beer flights, whether multiple IDs are actually required, and why this policy appeared to be applied only to us. I also hope appropriate action will be taken to ensure that customers are treated fairly and respectfully in the future. Cuz it's a community tap house I live with. I really don't want this place became taking pleasure in humiliating others read more

We often drink and enjoy Barebottle beers, but rarely make it out to the actual taproom. Came here twice within a month after having visitied the one in Menlo Park. The ambiance is nice and reflects a beer hall with the long wooden tables. It certainly seems like a popular spot given that a lot of the tables were reserved for specific time slots, leaving minimal seating for those walking in. They have beers available in several styles, and a separate area/line for takeout orders. Their kitchen offers salads and pizzas, along with a few snacks such as tater tots and garlic knots. We really enjoyed both Detroit-style pizzas we got: the Sweet Heat Pineapple pizza and the Green Ecstasy Pesto pizza. read more

A brewery with AC?!? Count us in! Hadn't been to Barebottle in a while but it's as great as ever. Huge selection of beer, arcade games & TVs. You can trade in your ID for board games which is awesome. This was my first time having joyride pizza and I loved it! We got a Caesar salad and two personal pizza and they were all sooo good. The staff is also super friendly! They have outside seating, but the inside is actually much nicer read more

Always a good spot for a chill night with friends or whoever else! They offer board games, a great selection of regular beers and sours, and even their pizza was great. It's spacious too, with both couches and tables depending on what vibe you're going for. Would definitely recommend to anyone in the area! read more

If you love beer then this is the place. If you're also indecisive this is also the place because you can get flights and try them all. There wasn't a beer I didn't enjoy and that's saying a lot because I hate beer. The appetizers they have were alright but the service and vibe of the place was great. We went during a football game and everyone was cheering and enjoying their time. There's also a little arcade section to just kill some time and play with some friends. The only negative I saw was there was a fly in one of my flights but was quickly resolved as the workers were like it's normal and gave us another full cup. Love the service and the workers read more

We ended up walking over here after we ate dinner at Puesto Mexican Artisan Kitchen and Bar. So conveniently located, secluded, and a hidden gem. We arrived here on a Friday night for some after dinner drinks. The brewery is located in a nice modern plaza off Bowers avenue in Santa Clara. Parking is accessible in the parking garage and the large parking lot a couple of blocks away but it can be busy during prime hours. Upon walking in, since it was a Friday night, it was packed. There were a lot of long picnic tables everywhere and TVs hanging on the walls. Sofas along with pin ball machines, shuffle board, and a pool table were to the right side corner. We were able to eventually grab a long table with high chairs for our group. There was a solid beer selection on tap. One of our friends bought a round of pilsners for the first round. I do not normally drink pilsners but the beer was still refreshing and light. I took care of the second round of beers which was a mix of hefeweizen and hazy IPA beers. My hazy IPA, Terpenes in time, was delicious and citrusy in a good way. The staff was very friendly and helpful with the beer draft menu. Overall we enjoyed our experience at Barebottle Brewing Company. When we are in the area, we will be back. I hope to try some of the other draft beers on tap. read more

Barebottle Brewing is an absolute gem for craft beer lovers! The selection is incredible. Rotating taps with creative, bold flavors that keep things exciting. I tried the Hazy IPA and a seasonal sour, and both were outstanding. Fresh, balanced, and packed with character. They clearly put a lot of thought into their brewing process. The atmosphere is vibrant and welcoming, with plenty of space to hang out with friends or enjoy a casual afternoon. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable, always ready to recommend something new. Bonus points for the fun events and food trucks that make every visit feel like a mini celebration. Prices are fair for the quality, and the vibe is perfect for anyone who loves good beer and good company. If you're in Santa Clara and want a top-notch craft beer experience, Barebottle Brewing is a must visit! read more

Friendly beertenders, great beer, plenty of seating, arcade games in the back, life at this brewery doesn't get much better!

Real solid food and drinks and great space for large groups. The trivia is also nice setup with lots of tables facing the host. Not the biggest fan of the headgames trivia format cuz I suck at songs and there's too many gimmicky things to earn points like a dance off or sing a long or like making sure to like and follow headgames on Instagram prior to coming to trivia. Parking available in a garage across a busy road. read more

It's been a while since I last visited barebottle. Stopped by this past weekend on a Sunday. I've always liked that it's a very spacious brewery. Large tables, good for a big group or shared with another small group (if it ever gets too busy). I was surprised to see they have a whole menu for food now! We tried one of the Detroit style pizzas (regular size), tater tots, and wings. Tots and wings were baked, so they weren't oily. Tots had a chimichurri-like sauce to it. Not your typical dipping sauce but it still tasted good and freshly made. Prices were a bit high but it is convenient to have more food options in-house now. I'm a west coast ipa gal, so they had one option available that day. I usually like their selections of beers! The beer signs are always so nicely written/designed. Easy to view and order at the bar area. They have a couple of TVs so it was nice to have both the nba and mlb games on. There's a section dedicated to arcade-like games with couch seating. There's also outdoor seating available too. Good brewery to hang out at if you're in the area. On the weekends, free parking at the structure across the street! read more

Great spot for a beer and some food in Santa Clara! Came here after an event at Levi's for lunch and a beer. Great selection on tap and the pizzas were delicious. The spicy pineapple was by far the best of the 3 we had. The bbq chicken was 2nd best and a close 3rd was the Buffalo chicken. The Brussel sprouts were just ok, fantastic flavor but didn't like that they were shredded and not charred, garlic knots also ok but the hot marinara and ranch brought them up a notch. Definitely a place I will come to again when in the area. read more

Reserved the outdoor patio at Barebottle Santa Clara for a birthday party with ~30 guests. The site makes it super easy to reserve ahead of time and was one of the lower res options in SJ for a bigger group at 240$. Staff were super helpful and attentive, refilling our water, plates, napkins, utensils. The team is great there. We didn't know where to park initially, but the garage across the street has ample space. Loved their selection of beers and their food menu. We got the Detroit style pizzas - so good - wings and garlic knots among other items. Multiple people got tasters which they really enjoyed. It was so nice to have a reserved space that welcomed dogs and kids. Will definitely come back to play their arcade games and try more food and beers. read more

I was here for a work event and it was a great experience. There are many food and drink options, we got a bunch of pizzas and some salads and there was a large drink variety. The flavors of the drinks are pretty cool and there's non alcoholic options as well. The pizza flavors are also very unique and the size of them is super cute and it was easy to share everything. read more

We made the mistake of coming in around 10:15 pm on a Saturday. Yeah, I know, that's around 1:15 am Santa Clara Time, but we don't get a lot of opportunities to get out these days and Barebottle is one of my favorite breweries. They already looked annoyed to see customers approaching the taps in the first place and then promptly (and wordlessly) shut things down entirely at around 10:30 pm without even so much as a last call. So basically we got all of one beer and then the staff just stood looking bored at that point. I remember when they opened this location up right before the pandemic; it was such a cool spot and I was always a bit bummed we didn't get to spend more time here. Flash forward to today and this place seemingly just exists to host corporate events. I love Barebottle beer but my god they seem to hate actually pouring you beer after 5 pm in the city that always sleeps. Bottom line: Do not bother coming here after 9 pm; they are not actually open until 11 pm other than being some sort of lame techie cafe. read more

Love the place, specially the pizza. There for friendly and knowledgeable. They will help you out regard about the beer that will match your taste. Place can be loud specially after work a lot close tech company close by. Parking can be tight too. Overall place nice to chill with friends read more

This place was absolutely packed after work, so keep that in mind if you're going with a group. It might take a bit of a wait to get a table as they are first come, first serve. The beers are always great and you can't go wrong with a flight. I love their pizza and snack bites, but the OGs will always remember how good the empanadas were. Skip the headache of trying to park in the shopping center and park across the street in the garage. So much easier! read more

Great atmosphere! Really friendly staff! And a good and diverse selection of beers. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area. read more

4.5 stars- Barebottle Brewing Company had been on my radar to try for a while, and the place did not disappoint. The taproom is located in the modern & bustling Santa Clara Square. Great place to catch up with a friend, stop in for a cold beer, or just relax. I would consider this place an upccale brewery. Very nice beer selection here! Especially the IPAs. I came here with my friend who wanted to play chess. I suggested a brewery and we met here. Their beer selection is rather impresive, and they have it nicely broken down by beer type on the menu. I tried 2 different IPA's, one called the Unicorn Dust IPA & another called the Juicy Couture IPA. Both were very flavorful and delicious! I love how you can get a 5 oz pour and it still comes in the lovely & more fancy looking beer glass. The place itself is fairly spacious. Plenty of tables and couches. When you walk in, the arcades are on the right. Order your beer and food on the left. Looks like they added a food menu recently. Also, they have a water hydration area to get water. Parking is convenient - park nearby on the main strip with the Sephora, Starbucks, & restaruants; in the Whole Foods lots; or across the street in the parking garage. I can't wait to return in the future! read more

I was in Santa Clara for business and I was looking for breweries in the area for me another co-worker to check out while we were in town and Barebottle did not disappoint. They have a great choice of beers to choose from and some really good IPA's. The manager that day was extremely helpful and had great customer service. The place was really cool inside with a great vibe and it was walking distance from our hotel. They have beers to go if you find something you really like and the price per pint was reasonable and I will definitely go back when I'm in town. Cheers! read more

Beer was great. Bro in Valkeries shirt was a little sassy tho. Could've made the night better if he was nicer and stopped yelling at customers. Hopefully valkeries win next time! read more

I feel the best breweries are the ones that JUST focus on the beer. A place where we can bring our own food. Quality/Quantity - Mini Muir - Hazy Pale Ale, might be the first time I tried a hazy pale ale. Usually it is an IPA. This (just like their flagship beer) is way too easy to drink. Muir Woods - Their flagship beer; I can see why. So smooth and easy to drink. Too easy... Atmosphere - Good size location. Separate entrance for to-go orders. Indoor, outdoor (heated during the winter) seating. Small arcade, pool table, etc. Table, counter, lounge seating. Is this a big meeting/hook up place? See pictures of events. Open 7 days a week from noon till 9pm or 11pm. Men and women restrooms; the best part is the hand washing stations are NOT in the bathrooms. Garage guest parking, no problem today. Service - Counter service. Bus your own tables, etc. Self-service water. Price - $19 + generous tip. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2016 and with your 4 locations. read more

This Barebottle brewing in Santa Clara is all right. I frequent the one in Bernal Heights and so when I compare the two places, I prefer the ambience at Bernal Heights. Service is great, tables are really bad - need clean tables! The good thing is, we can carry food in ... The choice of beers is good ! More than another visit or two! read more

Apart from beers, this is a great place to celebrate simple and chill gatherings with friends! Booked a few tables online to celebrate a friend's birthday and everyone had fun. We got to bring our own food, and then we got our drinks from their bar (outside drinks not allowed). They have a good variety of beers and drinks to choose from, and both ladies and gents from the guests got to choose a good drink to fit their preferences. Prices are also decent. The place is pretty spacious. There were 20+ of us and we had areas to move around and mingle without bothering other regular customers. The staff were nice. It's not that busy between 1pm - 3pm on a Saturday. But I saw more groups coming in after that. Highly recommended. Thanks! read more

We came here for a friend's birthday, and the ambiance was great. There's plenty of high-top seating as well as scattered couches, making it a comfortable and casual setting. It looks like they've added a small arcade in the back, which is a fun touch. They offer a wide variety of beers on tap, though I thought the drinks were just okay. Unfortunately, they didn't have any ciders, which was a bit disappointing, but I did notice a few non-alcoholic options on the menu. Many breweries or bars have average food, but the Detroit-style pizza here is delicious! It's fluffy, thick, and carries the toppings really well. You order directly at the bar, and the staff are friendly. I wouldn't mind coming back again with friends! read more

I literally stopped by when I saw the pinball machines through the windows. It was fun! The place is spacious and has plenty of seats. You can play pool, race or play guitar if you are not into pinball. The place is of course famous for a big variety of beer, and there are so many different things to choose from! They have game nights, chess plays and so on! I tried the following: - Athletic N/A Beer - 12oz -$6.00. - it was okay, but probably I will not try it again. - Coco Froth Nitro Milk Stout - 5.8% ABV - $8.00 - it was very smooth and you can feel cocoa flavours! The prices were average and regular for the bar I'd say. Staff was friendly! There is a parking garage nearby or you can also find some street parking slots close by. And one more important thing is that they open till 11pm! read more

Hung out at Barebottle for the husband's birthday and overall, had a nice time! Our group arrived around noon and although the place was busy, we were able to grab a table. Barebottle offers a wide selection of beers in which we couldn't decide on just one. So, we opted for the flight and I'm glad we did, because all of them tasted good! Staff was friendly, service was quick, and prices were fair. There is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, and atmosphere is chill yet lively. All in all, solid taproom. read more

Great spot, great beer and a fun place to bring your teen! Went there to grab some beers with my 18yr old son and play some games.

First time here and it was good! I got a strawberry sour ale & a light ale called, "tapping potential", and both were good! Lots of seatings, games, etc. if you want a board game, you'll need to give them your ID. Restrooms were clean. And if you order food, they'll give you a buzzer, and once your buzzer rings, you pick up your food. Parking is in a parking lot/garage. Overall, it's a nice place! read more

Awesome brewery with amazing beers on a rotating menu. Definitely recommend barebottle for the tasty brews, but also they have a small arcade/pinball area. It is clean inside with picnic style tables and they have a few outdoor seating as well. It is dog friendly so you may see dogs inside and outside on the weekends! The negatives about barebottle is that they often run out of some of the beers and keep taking it off the menu through the day. Also, people can book the arcade area and tables and it seems to be booked every time I go so they block it off and won't let the public use the arcade/pinball machines. Still def work going for the brews, nice selection anytime you go! read more

They often swap out their menu ever so often so each visit always leaves you with endless options.
