Easy bit: the beer was tremendous. Wide selection. Had two IPAs and was very impressed (I'm…read morenormally not impressed until 3x). Had carnitas tacos. K, not the best tacos I've ever had. But, for a brewery, they were very good. Sounds like faint praise, but I did enjoy them. And the gents pouring the beer were as friendly and knowledgeable as they could be. Big fan.

I hate doing this, but I'm knocking my review down from a 5 to a 3. This isn't because the food,…read moredrinks, service, and atmosphere aren't wonderful. They are, and they've actually continued to improve over multiple visits. However, another thing that has remained stable over our last 2 visits is much less desirable -- Yellow Jackets!! It's bad. I mean really bad to the point of not wanting to order their delicious food because a swarm of yellow jackets will chase you from table to table as you try desperately to avoid them and safely eat. It's bad enough that we eventually grabbed to-go boxes and ran for our car. And it's bad enough that I'm lowering my review in hopes that management will finally address this issue -- please. Some people are allergic and something quite terrible could happen. Please don't risk it.

My review is for two reasons:…read more 1. I visited with my Dad because he loves beer (and he loved the IPA - cannot recall the specific one - on a late afternoon when I had some work to do. It was so nice to sit on their beautiful patio and enjoy a beer while finishing some work for the day. 2. They made a gift card donation to California Bully Rescue that I had reached out to them as a request for an auction. Most establishments ignored my outreach and I was really grateful for their contribution and acknowledgement. We will definitely be back.

This seemed like a spot where parents take their kids and don't attend to them very well. But I can't blame the establishment for that, I was more annoyed at my date for picking this spot. That and well he didn't ask if I drank beer, which I don't! That and they don't serve any food here outside of the food truck. So as a date spot, I do not recommend.

We've been to Morgan Territory Brewing several times over the years and always have a good…read moreexperience. The beer is consistently good, and it's a great spot to watch a game thanks to the numerous TVs throughout the taproom. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, making it an easy place to meet up with friends or spend an afternoon. One thing we've really appreciated is how easy they make it to reserve space for a group. We hosted an event there and the process was simple and stress-free, which made planning much easier. Another bonus is being right next to Cantina Jack's. We love grabbing food from next door and enjoying it with our beers. The only challenge can be parking, especially during busy times, but that's more a function of the surrounding area than the brewery itself. Overall, Morgan Territory Brewing is a reliable local spot with good beer, a comfortable atmosphere, and friendly service. We'll definitely keep coming back.

I have to add--the BEST server is Malakai. Ever since he was hired, I just feel like the spirit of…read morethe bar is so much higher. He's such a hard worker and he just is always busy working the tables, working behind the counter, and he's just so wonderful.

I've been coming to Rotator for years, and it's still my favorite local spot in Walnut Creek. The…read moreaddition of wine is such a great bonus! I love meeting friends here, but it's also one of the few places I genuinely enjoy going by myself because I always end up running into someone I know or meeting someone new while sitting at the big bar. The staff always makes me feel safe and welcome, too. They're always hosting fun events, it's a great place to watch sports, and I love that I can bring my dog along. I know some people are disappointed that Rotator is now required to be 21+ with the addition of wine, something many customers had been been asking for over the years. The owners are parents themselves, so I imagine this wasn't a decision they made lightly. Families with younger kids still have several great brewery options nearby. If you're looking for great beer, wine, friendly people, and a welcoming neighborhood hangout, it's hard to beat.

Fantastic drink. My friend tasted mine and ordered the same. The selection is the draw here. Whiskey lines the entire back wall, the rarer bottles sit behind wire-mesh locked cabinets, and there is a deep bench of tequila, beer on tap, and wine to round things out. One look at the shelves tells you they have the base for any drink you want. We split the Margherita flatbread, pesto, fresh mozzarella, and blistered cherry tomatoes, and it hit the spot as a drinking snack. The menu goes deeper than expected for a bar, with sliders, naan tacos, and charcuterie if you show up hungry. Service was good considering the staff-to-crowd ratio. Sevan stayed attentive the whole time and clearly knows his stuff. The vibe is chill and conversation-friendly, not too loud for the size of the room, with a bank of TVs toward the back if you want to catch a game. Logistics are easy. The bar sits a short walk from Pleasant Hill BART and parking in the area was no trouble. I've been a few times before and this visit confirmed why I keep coming back. For a high quality cocktail in the East Bay, this is the spot.

We originally discovered Hop Grenade when we moved to the neighborhood. As craft beer lovers,…read morefinding a spot within walking distance felt like hitting the jackpot. What started as a convenient local hangout has become one of our favorite places over the last three years. Hop Grenade has truly become a second home. The staff are always welcoming, friendly, and genuinely care about their customers. We love seeing familiar faces and catching up with the regulars. It has such a great community feel that can be hard to find these days. The beer selection is hands down one of the best around, and the prices are hard to beat. I also love that they've expanded their offerings to include wine and wine-based cocktails, which means there's something for everyone. The food is great too! We always look forward to Wing Wednesday, and the flatbreads are one of our go-to orders. One of our favorite things about Hop Grenade is bringing friends and family here when they're visiting from out of town. We recently took some wedding guests to the Thursday night music and market event, and they absolutely loved it. One of them even joked that he was ready to move here after experiencing the atmosphere. That's the kind of place Hop Grenade is...it makes people feel welcome and part of the community right away. Because Hop Grenade has been such a big part of our lives, booking the Tap Bus for our wedding was a no-brainer. It felt special to incorporate something so personal to us into our big day. For those who don't know, Hop Grenade has an awesome vintage VW bus outfitted with taps. Not only did it make for a unique and fun focal point at our wedding, but it also served some of the best beer, cider, seltzer, and wine our guests could ask for. We received so many compliments throughout the night about both the Tap Bus and the drink selection. Justin and his team were fantastic to work with from start to finish and helped make our wedding even more memorable. Whether you're stopping by for a drink, grabbing some food, attending one of their community events, or looking for a unique beverage service for an event, Hop Grenade delivers every time. We're lucky to have them in our community and can't recommend them enough.

I guess I need to put my review in since this gem I was trying to keep to myself has done nothing…read morebut have me crave their menu weekly lol. I'm afraid of sharing their specials that the place will start getting so packed where we can't get a table anymore lol but here it goes. I have came to the Hop Grenade for years and they have never disappointed. Their beers are delicious and always have a great menu to choose from. They have clean accessible bathrooms and parking is hit and miss since it is in the middle of downtown. They do allow dogs but only outside not inside. So they have their wing special on Wednesday's which is the big secret I didn't want to share. One because their wings are the best wings I've ever had. On top of that their flatbread pizza is amazing as well. Like they make their own dough or something. But this is the brewery to hit up if you want some delicious food and great beer. Put it this way, for me the wings and pizza are that good where I order take out lol. Oh ya and their service is top notch.

It can get really packed and crowded, so if you are trying to have a good time, I would encourage that get their early and maybe bring your own lawn chair if you plan to sit outside. They may run out of seats! It's that popular. The yucca fries were delicious! Well-seasoned and cooked to perfection! The ceviche, I felt it was a little on the smaller side for the portion, in terms of pricing, but it was so tasty! The flavors blended extremely well together and there wasn't too much of one spice or seasoning. Their dole whip slushie is amazing! It literally tastes like there is no alchol, so be careful when you are drinking this! They sneak up on you!! Overall, this is a great brewery! lots of space and natural lighting, the staff is amazing, and their food/drinks and events are some of the best in the east bay!
