This review is late in coming as it is for an event we held at Hapa's in early August for the…read moreoccasion of my wife's birthday party. It was very good working with Cassie who was generous with her support in ensuring my wife had a great party. As disclaimer we know Cassie from our 6 year old's baseball teams the past couple years. My wife preferred Hapa's Los Gatos location at first but were advised that their Lincoln Ave location would be better suited for her party of around 100 guests including children. We had a private event space next to their brewing vats and rented tables, high tops, and linens through Hapa's. This location does not have a kitchen and instead have taco trucks and such who park outside. For our purposes we had an outside caterer serve our guests and Hapa's were very accommodating to them. This location has a couple barriers between it and Lincoln Ave. and is connected to other small businesses via hallways so it is safe for children to move about freely. Hapa's provided corn holes for kids to play within our space and we had crafts on tables to do. Next door is a pinball machine playing shop so between all these, kids were enjoying themselves and adults largely free to socialize. Hapa's doesn't require you to buy their beer but we opted for wristbands and open bar tab. If you do bring your own alcohol there is corkage as normal though, so we just kept with their beer which our guests enjoyed. Their bartender Alyssa was great to work with, ensuring we had everything we needed while serving their public customers. We were conveniently next to their bar while being set aside from public space. There is filtered water to spout from but it's on the other side of the bar, so a walk to/fro for filling up our water dispensers. Our caterer provided agua frescas, no extra fee from brewery on that. They were able to bring their equipment in the space and set up nicely to serve made-to-order tacos and quesadillas with side tables of self-serve rice, beans, mixed veggies, and guacamole. We had dessert tables perpendicular to them. We were at first concerned the space wouldn't work as it looks warehouse-y but when outfitted with tables/linens, catering, and our own decorations, it turned out to be a great space where people could sit or stand and be free to move around. I was surprised at how many customers Hapa's had as it's in a kinda random location but it was packed both inside and in the back. This casual festive brewery environment worked well for noisy children in our private space and their free and safe movement about the building was priceless. Everyone expressed what a great space it was and my wife really enjoyed herself being able to see so many circles of her life in one space. Thank you Cassie, Alyssa (sorry if misspell), and Hapa's!

The beer list was exceptional, and the service was great. There was a big focus on hazy IPA and West Coast IPA, but there were also some more interesting styles on the menu.

My friend and I were looking at the menu trying to decide what we wanted when the bartender started yelling at us.

Barebottle always delivers delicious, mouthwatering, tasty hazy fruity IPAs. The staff memebrs are all so friendly. Food was not always offered when they first opened. So this was a huge bonus when they dropped their food menu! Their wings in particular are very crispy and thicc! There is a decent size patio area for little gatherings. Some arcade games and board games for entertainerment. It is kid friendly.

After a short wait on a Sunday afternoon, the bartender allowed us to taste a few beers on the menu that caught my eye.

I love that it's one of the few places with a great selection of my favorite styles, sour beers and stouts. The only drawback is that costs can add up quickly, especially for stronger or rare beers. Staff are always helpful if you can't decide or need a taste of something.

It didn't make the place feel lively or inviting at all. I came in hungry and was really looking forward to the food, so when it turned out to be this bad, it was especially disappointing. Great service, but unfortunately, the food just didn't live up to expectations.

Most of their food is fermented which has a very fresh taste to it. My absolute favorite was the bread along with the spread. I told the workers there that It was my first time there and I didn't know what drink to get. They gave me a list of recommendations and I ended up getting a "sour" which tasted like a cider beer Thank you so much for the cool fun experience.
