My friend & I stopped by on a Sunday night and it was very quiet. There were maybe 4 tables in use around 9pm. They closed at 10 so I can understand why, but I definitely expected more people. Our waitress was nice and gave us good beer recommendations. Very nice location and place, but definitely wish it was livelier. Their food & beer options seemed good though we only had one cider and dessert. read more

I love Bottle Taps! The food and live music wide selection of beverages! So great! I love that it's so close to livermore!

Great place and fun. I recommend this place to everyone. Anytime day or night, with or without friends and family. Can even take the kids

I met a friend here for lunch a few weeks ago. She has suggested this restaurant as she had been here once before and enjoyed it. We ordered the artichoke hummus which had a spicy salsa with it, and oh my frickin gosh, it was TO DIE FOR. We also ordered the sliders and the house made sausage. These were very tasty as well. I also tried the purple haze. Overall everything was so delicious, and the service was excellent. Our waitress was very knowledgeable and attentive, which seems hard to find these days . I also noticed that they had a cute patio with string lights, perfect for a warm evening. Oh, and the bathroom was clean which is a huge plus for me. I will be back for sure. read more

First time here on a Thursday, and we were excited to check this place out! Inside, the venue was new and nice. A little cold, so we opted to sit outside where it was warmer. Service was rather slow paced. The waiter came out with an ipad, food, and drink menu. The ipad has a list of the beers. I think it would've been cool if we could've just ordered from them! The waiter wasn't the most friendly and communicative when we asked him a question. The food menu was interesting and filled with a lot of small plates. We tried the pastrami slider, the stuffed sausage, and mac & cheese. Everything except for the slider came out luke warm and appeared to may have been sitting. If things were piping hot, we would've enjoyed the dishes better. The pastrami slider was okay, but the toothpick broke into pieces in the middle. Mac n cheese was tasty, but probably better hot. The sausage was decent, but again pretty much room temperature. Overall, the atmosphere was nice but the vibe just wasn't there. There was no music, not many customers, not very upbeat service, so we didn't feel very enthusiastic staying very long! read more

I like what they have to offer on the menu. The food is good with very good service. It took a minute or to to run through the beer menu. I usually pick the barrels that are almost gone. There is a meter on the app they use. Why ? Because they are good beers. If the barrel is full , are they undiscovered or? We were pleasantly surprised with the beer selection. My friend is the beer drinker , I'm the food guy. Mmm. We were pleasantly surprised and with the live music this made the visit ever more so enjoyable. Easy to park and Uber / lyft I'm if you like. read more

Bottle Taps just opened recently. My friend and I arrived on a rainy and cold Friday night. The place was packed and luckily there was one table left- so we grabbed it. You seat yourself. The first few minutes felt awkward- until a server came with a tablet and two paper menus. They have 20 beers on tap and something like 300 bottles that are displayed in a large frig. The menu has appetizers, small bites and larger bites. It took awhile for us to make a beer selection. Only one tablet to look at between the two of us. There are different sizes and different prices for each beer. I asked if they had flights - it's not obvious. The server handed us a small slip of paper and instructed us write the beer number on one of the quadrants. The only instructions on the flight slip is the server will explain the order to taste the beer. We made our order of food. They charge by the piece for the small bites - we ordered 2 of 4 items plus one beer chowder. All of our items were served in 5 minutes. No plates or silverware was brought out until we asked. It seemed that all the food was staged ahead of time. The down side - items that should be warm were not. The small chicken confit tacos completely fell apart. ($4 each) The filling had been sitting on the tortilla for awhile and was soggy. The chicken did not seem "confit " to me. It was dry and not full of flavor as a confit should be. The Tri tip crostini was super small for 4 bucks a piece. The chowder came out cold and we did send it back and brought one back that was hotter and unfortunately floury tasting. It would have been fine for our food to have been served slower and hot. Overall they have a good menu and concept. Just not well executed. The table should already have menus, the beer flight slips and pens or pencils on the table permanently and more tablets per table or ditch the tablet idea all together. I think this place has a great concept and vibe. I do wish there were features to help with the acoustics. Lots of windows and concrete floors makes for all the laughter and fun louder than it needs to be. An intro to the tablet would be helpful- really scroll through - there is much more than just the beers on tap. Maybe just have all the beers on a web site and make sure there's strong WiFi and we just look at beers from our own phones ??? I'll be back in a couple of months and hopefully some of the details will be worked out. The beer selection is great maybe we will just stick to beer. read more

Bottle Taps is in a corner spot whilst Starbux and CVS are at the corners. "walls" on 2 sides, top to bottom glass. literally no ambience as walls have no embellishments. just bare. way cool. fab way to r & r, getting artisan eats, distinct drinks without constant reminders of "memorabilia". Bottle Taps is unique but not suitable for everyone. certainly out of the ordinary, but not extraordinary. tapas/small bites, not burgers and fries. 30 "local" craft beers, not bud/coors/corona. need bud? available at CVS/am-pm nearby... eats: beef slider (4) -smaller than food truck ones, waygu patty, etc. very tasty portabelini(4) -mushroom topped with spinach, cream cheese, panko, garlic, 25 star balsalmic, yummy. brew: Russian Hill (8.5/8oz) 11%abv, 8 bridges brewery -only stout available. not full body enough. aged in whiskey barrels. Delicious (7HH/16 oz) 7.5%abv? Stone brewery -typical ipa, smooth, not hoppy (no bitterness).. -flights not seen. TBA -most brews $7-$8 for 16 ounce. drips: -HH, 3-6 m-f, $1 off drafts -realtime listing of brews on website, amount left in keg pricing available when u click on "prices/sizes" tab. -bottled beers, kombucha available from adjacent refrigerator, sticker priced for drinking in. 15% off for take out. -all staff is Cicerone and/or BICP beer judge trained.(website). -food/beer menu definitely "high end" fitting criteria of a gastropub. hamburgers, fries, not enough to qualify. expect to pay more for quality. -from 680, taking valley ave exit faster than bernal exit. -definitely worth dropping in if in area. check website first to see if ur style of craft beer is available... read more

I came to Bottle Taps for a friend's graduation party over the weekend, and the experience was great. The party was hosted in a side room with plenty of seating. They catered a wide spread of options, and provided delicious mac and cheese and mushroom pizza for vegetarians. My sister got the alcoholic kombucha, and she really enjoyed the taste. I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to cater an event or grab a drink! read more

I'm not sure what the appeal of this spot is. Lethargic service with a wacky menu. The front of house staff seemed like they had never worked in the industry. Definitely need to step up training them. Room temp soup, bland and greasy Mac and cheese and sliders that taste like Burger King. Beer selection good but the space seems more like a wine bar. We left disappointed. read more

Food is sub par. It used to be better. They seem to have fun activities going on so it's great for socializing but definitely a little overpriced in the food category. read more

Here's the experience: You walk in to a crowded room, it's really loud, so loud you can barely talk. Then comes the task of getting a seat, good luck, there's no one to seat you so it's a fist fight to get a table. Then comes the food, I only was able to eat the hummus which was decent, never got the other items I ordered because after 50 minutes of waiting for my food we decided to bail. The beer selection and hummus is decent so that brought them up from one to two stars. Good luck if you try it. read more

The service was great. We were greeted as soon as we came in. Went in around 6:30 on a Sunday and it was pretty dead inside. They gave us tablets with their menus, which I thought was really strange wasn't necessary especially since you can't order on there. But it did show the beer levels so that was nice. For the food, I was really unimpressed. The taco meat was extremely dry. The slider was nothing special. The best thing was the pub pretzel but then again...it's just a pretzel. I'll come back for drinks but unless they amp up their menu I won't be ordering food. read more

Have heard about this place, not in Downtown. It's worth checking out. I came in today, Friday , for lunch. It wasn't very busy, and parking rather easy near the adjacent apartments.I had a few hours of work to do, so plugged in my laptop, ordered a few tapas and cider. The beer menu was on an electronic tablet and was VERY eclectic and tempting...next time! I enjoyed pickled veggies, a slider, and a balsamic glazed mushroom (see photos). After a few hours I was again thirsty and Bri, the lovely server, suggested Kambucha. It hit the spot. I suggested to another server they host a Kambucha flight or Mimosa flight for early Sundays. Would be excellent venu for live music, including the outdoor seating area. "I'll be back." read more

Second time here and again it was great!!! Quick friendly service an unbelievable beer and cider menu. Everything was just right. Have had flat beads both times and they were so tasty, crispy and chewy and not a bit soggy as they can sometimes be. Did the choose it yourself smorgasboard. It was lovely, Humboldt Fog cheese and Manchego cheese with sopressata, prosciutto and chorizo. Added balsamic onion jam, perfect!!! read more

Great beer, great service, good food. Located in a strip mall, this restaurant serves a tapas style menu with extensive beer list. I'll return because beer selection and the service was efficient and friendly. Banquet Pretzel Board: three cured meats, pub cheese, cheddar and Gouda served with pretzel. Olives and nuts on side. The pretzel was delicious, but at $30 it was not a good value. I would have preferred less cheddar sticks or better prosciutto. Mac and cheese: tasty macaroni and cheese with panko Cites & Simcoe IPA Black Butte IPA read more

We came on a Saturday at 1:00 pm, approximately. We sat on the patio which is spaced apart at least 6 ft. The pretzel is a delicious appetizer with beer. The IPA mustard is delicious. My favorite was the Smash Citra which was an American IPA. I would definitely go back! read more

Well, let's start off with the good. 1.) Plenty of tasty beer on tap & in the fridge 2.) Atmosphere was nice 3.) The two ladies that sat next to us during "extreme bingo" night, I believe they were the somehow associated with the owner of this joint. They were so sweet & kind. Their granddaughter was hosting the game night and did a wonderful job. 4.) Food was kinda okay, I felt like my tri-tip sandwich need some sort of salt...it was very bland. My hubby got the pulled pork sandwich, but the portions just seemed kinda small for the price you are paying. Now with the not-so good... Our waitress seemed very robotic & not very friendly. Very off putting. I don't expect you to be our BBF's....but a smile or a laugh would have been cool? It also took forever to get our check. I'm sure she's a nice lady, but maybe loosen up a little... ya just seemed very uptight. I'd like to give this place another try as we live close by...I hope they can take some constructive criticism and make the changes needed so this place could be great. :-) read more

Honestly the food and wait staff are decent. Their manager is a complete idiot who doesn't know his left from right hand. He mistreats his staff publicly. I have also witnessed him give a hard time to a customer with a service dog. Like seriously?? read more

Great place to grab a beer with friends with great entertainment. They always have something scheduled throughout the week. It is surprisingly family oriented for a restaurant bar. Service could be slow and lacking attention (no plates) but it was not bad. read more

Wow what can I say about this place! Outstanding quality beer and customer service from top to bottom! Starting from the owner Erick and his great knowledge in beer and his staff. Haley and kristyn are super knowledgeable on their beer and super helpful on what to recommend. The beer is only the start, their food is just as great as their beer. If you come by for just beer or food, you can not go wrong with either or! read more

Love this place. Great food and beer selection. And the staff remembers us after just a few visits. Big fan.

I was at bottletaps today and ordered a beer called "Trilium Olmstead". The beer menu only gives the name of the beer and not the price or size. The beer is not a double IPA that you expect to show up in a small glass. The beer showed and it was only 8 oz. I explained to the server that I was not expecting this size of beer and they did say that they would replace it with something else if I did not like it. The beer was not bad, so I decided to just not make a stink and go with it. When the bill came, it was $9 for the 8oz beer (in other words they would have charged $18 16oz of this beer) . After paying the bill, I felt like it was kind of a rip-off. Bottletaps should explain the size and the price of their beers in the menu. read more

Pleasantly surprised no pun intended! Came in on Friday night, live music, made my own cheese and super thin cut mortadela, olives, brie. The pastrami sliders on brioche were delicious although the kitchen forgot the mustard, then we had all these withh great beer an bd wine while we waited for the pretzel. Oh my! I don't think I ever had a Pub pretzel so good and fresh like this one! ( ooh and it comes with cheese, bacon, beer mustard and salt which I did not need!) Very relaxed and young atmosphere. Will be back ! Mike and Adriana Ohlmeyer read more

Pretty disappointed. While I know it is mothers day... to not note on the door 'no walk ins accented' and not our reserved signs on the tables is poor business practice and makes me not want to come back read more

First time here. Great beer selection. Menu seems ok. Service is typical sports bar type. Ordered the Wagyu beef slider green curry veg and the Pastrami slider. The Wagyu slider was great. Curry veg. Off the charts good. The pastrami, SUCKED! It was as good as pouring a salt shaker in your mouth. Disgusting. I even told the server when he asked if i was done. He took my plate and I had almost the whole sandwich left because it was terrible. When he asked and I let him know how terrible it was. He just shrugged his shoulders and walked away with my plate. Same dead response from the bar maid. They totally did t care. Don't think I'll be back again. It was the saltiest thing I've ever tasted. read more

One word DELICIOUS! If you're looking for a fun and friendly atmosphere for lunch, dinner, or after work drinks- this is your place! They have a patio area, so you can sit outside when the weather is good and inside has lots of different types of seating options to suit your needs. There's a great selection of beer on tap, as well as cans and bottles in the cold case you can choose from (and buy to-go). The pub pretzel, sliders, mac and cheese...all delicious! BUT let's talk dessert-- chocolate banana cake is where it's at! Don't miss out. And to top it off, they are SUPER philanthropic. We can't say enough good things about BottleTaps. Thank you for all you do for our community! read more

My friends hosted a lovely city hall wedding dinner celebration here and the service provided by BottleTaps, specifically by Gabi, really went above and beyond! We celebrated in their side room, and had an open bar with both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. It was great for everyone there, and Gabi made sure that everyone, especially the bride and groom, had drinks at all times. Not only that, but Gabi was able to cater to some pretty ridiculous requests we made, including somehow magically finding a couple slices of cake for the married couple to take pictures with! She was so considerate and thoughtful, even providing a slice for the new married couple to freeze for their one year anniversary. Even by the event end, we never felt rushed to leave and everyone left in high spirits. This was a great way to celebrate my friends, and BottleTaps did a great job. Thanks for making this special day even better! read more

I've been twice and both times unimpressed with the expensive food selection. Pulled pork sandwich and meat pie were very dry. Great selection of beer though. read more

Ordered a cider flight and my favorite was B Nektar (mango and black pepper). Laughing monk was good too-tastes like coffee. The Electric Pineapple was my least favorite because it tasted savory (perhaps it was the spirulina). Wagyu sliders were ok, needed more sauce perhaps. Winter salad was good but baked Brie was amazing highly recommend. read more

On 05/02/2019, took an Uber with the wife to check this spot out after a long day. We walked in, sat down, and waitress tell us," Sorry but the kitchen just closed!" Ummmmmm it's only 9pm! Never coming here again. Jumped in an Uber and hit World of Beers and enjoyed the rest of the night. If the waitress would have at least made an effort to check or get in a quick order it would have meant a lot. But nothing just a sorry! Lost future customer! read more

Great selection of beers and ciders. Wish there were more food choices that weren't sandwiches. Celiac sucks, bad enough I shouldn't drink the beers (thank you for having cider choices!!!), sandwiches are delicious (tried the cuban and it was delicious and the pork sandwich was great, too!); but it's a bad health choice, for me (lol). I love the outdoor seating and the waitstaff is cool! read more

I've been here twice now, once with my husband for just drinks, and then with a few co-workers for drinks and food. I love the atmosphere of this place. It is pretty large with lots of seating, a smaller, more private room with seating, outdoor seating, as well as a few couches. It seems like they do some special events as well, I've seen a few bands here, and have seen their flyers for a few other events. They give you tablets which show the beers they have on tap, and how full the kegs are. Not only do they have a large selection of beers, they also have ciders, and kombucha on tap! Staff is always friendly, and I've never had an issue getting service. When I came with my coworkers we got a lot of apps to share including the charcuterie plate, sliders, caesar salad, meatballs, and asparagus. My only complaint was that while all of the food was good, I thought it was a little overpriced, especially for the portion sizes. We did ask for more cheese on the charcuterie plate and they brought us like 3 more small slices of cheese and lots of crackers. read more

The slider's are phenomenal, potato salad is awesome!! You have a great selection of beer to choose from also!
