Great drinks and a fun place to listen to live music. Recommend making a reservation on the weekends as it can get really busy.
Today I ordered the fried chicken sandwich and I made it spicy. It was a hot delicious mess. Not feasible to eat this sandwich with your hands. It was really spicy. Fried chicken that was dipped in a Louisiana style hot sauce then dropped on top of a bun. It quickly fell apart after the first attempted bite. Great flavors and textures, but it should have come wrapped in paper to make it easier to eat. The server was friendly, but she described the 'spicy' option for the chicken sandwich incorrectly. She told us that the chicken was dipped in hot sauce before it was breaded and fried. What we got was a crispy fried chicken that was dunked in hot sauce after it was breaded and fried. A key difference.
I ordered the fried chicken sandwich with reg cheese. Friend ordered fried chicken sandwich with goat cheese. Waiter mixed them up gave me the goat cheese. Bacon not cooked on either sandwich. Asked sides of sauce not received. Other ppl in party never received their drinks.
Love it here! Perfect beer garden - beer variety and great tasty food with live music! The vibes and fun times, are all there! Beef ribs are so tender, it falls off the bone. Brisket and chicken wings are all top notch! Service is on point! During the Christmas holidays, they deck this spot out! Cheers to happy experiences and shared laughter here!
Tried coming here a few years ago and was turned away due to a private event. Finally made it here and it is legitimately one of the best brewery / taphouse setups we have ever seen. First off, the place is huge and completely open (best dog spot ever) it is unassuming from the street but we could not believe how big it is once you past through the front gate. The food was unexpectedly phenomenal. We got the brisket poutine and the fried chicken sandwich. The sandwich was gigantic and fried to perfection. The pountine was excellent. Obviously the beer menu was great, but they have champagne, wine and mixed drinks. If we lived in the area this would be a once a week type spot. Absolutely will come here everytime we are in the area.
Today was peak Brewsters - great service, holidays on steroids, a delicious (albeit $16) eggnog with booze, and melt off the bone ribs. So so good. Even though it was pouring they had a full crowd and lots of coverings. We are close to the TVs so we could catch a little afternoon NFL. A holiday tradition.
Brewsters is a vibe, especially during Christmas! It's decked out with all the Christmas decor and holiday drinks. Definitely a great place to bring friends, family, and kids! Food is okay, I always get their fried chicken sandwich. It's crispy and I like their goat cheese aioli they put in there. When it's really busy sometimes service can take awhile so just be prepared to stay longer. Overall a great place to hangout and eat!
Came here after a local hike, new to me. all outdoor seating with some tables covered. huge space ready for a crowd with stage for bands that play on weekends. good pub style menu with lots of local beers and wine. friendly staff too. the only thing that wasn't right was the bun on my fried chicken sandwich, way too soft and the bottom became way too soggy to hold with a wet dough texture. had to eat with a knife and fork which was a first for me, a more rustic roll would have been better and with flavor too. Maybe the buns were made in house? nice idea but maybe try something else. dog friendly and they even brought over a water bowl for us. worth a visit.
My friends and I had our annual visit to Brewster's for their Christmas Popup. This is one of my favorite things to do in the Christmas season. I love love love their decorations, theming, drinks and the food is great too. Last night I got to try their new hot drink, the Carol Singer (although it was not really hot, more just warm. That was fine though) It was a super tasty apple cider mixed drink and boy did it put me in the Christmas spirit. I also had their Cream Vanilla Ale, which I enjoyed as well! The food is always great here. The standout of the evening was Mac and cheese. Add some burnt end to that and it is pure bliss. The buffalo wings were very good with a pretty mild sauce, but still tasty. We shared a full rack of ribs and it was a lot. Their ribs are not your typical BBQ ribs. They are smoked and then glazed with a sweet and salty sauce. I like them! A shout out to our wonderful server, Taylor, who did a great job taking care of us all evening. We love coming here to take lots of photos, so I've included a few below.
Honestly, the ambiance is great, it definitely gives off a great beer garden vibe and is very spacious/cool. However, the staff seemed to be pretty rude and cranky (out group was very friendly/polite, so this was really confusing to us). The food's not bad and the drinks are pretty good too, wouldn't go out of my way to come here, but it seems like it's a better spot for a particular holiday themed events for locals or something like that.
Best time of the year to go by Far!! It's absolutely mind-boggling and especially great for small children. The cocktails aren't bad either therefore, the parents lol highly recommend!!
So fun to come here during the holidays. The staff decorated the place throughout the month and it's amazing! Food is always great here. I tried soft serve with chocolate shell topping after dinner and it's so satisfying. Definitely save some room for soft serve. It's always busy here. Remember to make reservations!
Incredibly good food and live music. Went there on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. Duck fat fries are amazing.

Cute spot. Has a large outdoor and indoor space. They had live music on a Saturday afternoon. We got the chicken sandwich and watermelon salad. It was good. Service was friendly. I like this place mainly for the ample seating and the outdoor space. read more

I've watched Brewster's grow over the past decade or so and just had a fabulous lunch with my family. Kids love the duck fat fries with both mayo and ketchup and they enjoyed the burger. I ate the side of greens as we ordered a separate side of fries too. Husband loved his poke and couldn't believe he hadn't ordered it there before. I had the farro seasonal salad with grilled peaches and soy dressing and wontons read more

A fantastic beer garden! We've been here twice, and each time it's been fantastic! Service is friendly and engaging, the menu is crisp and all-the-right-stuff, and beer list is well edited and robust. Our first visit included trivia, and second visit was Octoberfest-themed. Parking is a challenge but worth the effort. read more

On a day exploring Petaluma by foot, my first stop was the riverfront, which is the nicest area of town. All kinds of commercial and industrial buildings from the town's chicken farming past have been repurposed. Brewsters is a gorgeous spot; they have mostly outdoor seating that's covered from the sun and rain, plus semi-outdoor seating of long tables near the bar. As a beer fan I was mostly out touring breweries but they had two house beers worth trying. I didn't have food but all that I saw looked delicious. The bartender was extremely accommodating and talkative, which I appreciated. I also loved the natural tree cover and fire pits, I'm sure it's an equally fun place in the colder months. read more

We got the Mac and cheese, heirloom tomatoes, and chitarra pasta. Everything was so fresh and tasty. And the Mac and cheese was creamy and actually flavorful. Yummy! Ambiance was great. It was a beautiful day, they had live music outside, open space, great service, vast beer and cocktail selection. Will definitely come back again. read more
If you're looking for a holiday themed bar look no further. It's literally what I would imagine walking into Santa's workshop at the North Pole! Make sure to take your time and walk around and enjoy all that they offer! read more

Spent a beautiful day in Petaluma California. It was an awesome warm day and luckily we found one of the most beautiful beer garden to relax, have drinks and watch world cup soccer . We shared the St. Louis baby back ribs and had beers. The place has fantastic ambiance and amazing service. Will definitely come back. My doggie gives this place 4 paws up read more

I found this place on TikTok and decided to go. There's a parking lot across the street. This place is an open brewery but they had a ton of heating lamps. This place was a Christmas wonderland my son thought it was the North Pole. It is extremely busy during December so come with time and the earlier the better. You might be seated on some benches very close to other families. This is a dog friendly place. The service was extremely fast. We ordered wings as an appetizer. That was okay I didn't get much of the buffalo taste but my son liked the wings. The cob salad was delicious highly recommend. Very good filling portions. My son loved the kids hot dog. My husband got a chicken sandwich he said it's one of the best he's had. The food is really good and high quality. A little pricey but definitely made up in the service. This is a beautiful place with great picture opportunities! read more

This is a big beer garden with great food and terrific atmosphere. I was here on a Saturday and there was live music. Good food and beer. That's all I ask for. read more
This place is all about the ambiance!!! The holidays seem like the best time to come because of how festive it is inside. While the actual restaurant is outside, they have heaters all around to keep you feeling warm which I liked. The prices very a bit on the expensive side. I ordered the miracle mouse which came in a super cute mug, which all festive drinks do. The drink was actually pretty good and not too strong. My only issue was the amount of ice, I would definitely say light ice because it felt like I was done with my drink after like 3 sips. The service was quick considering we were a group of 18. Something to be aware of is that they make large groups pay on one tab, so don't go there with the hopes of a split bill or individual checks. read more
Fantastic Christmas decorations in the outside patio, but it was very, very loud with all the screaming children, but to be expected. My BF and I had the pasta Bolognese and the burger, which were excellent. The holiday cocktails that we had were the dancing sugarplums and theYippie Kai Yay Mother F***r. The sugar plums whole cake cocktail was $16 for probably 3 ounces of cocktail. The Yippie Kai Yay Mother F***r was also too expensive at $16 for very little cocktail. Lots of ice, but it was tasty also. Overall, even though alcohol lacking, I would definitely return for the festive atmosphere. It's a great place to get together with friends. My BF did not want to come back as it was too noisy. read more
Loved the festive atmosphere and all the holiday decorations. Unfortunately, that's the only thing that really impressed me about this place. I had the fried chicken sandwich, which was so heavily slathered in cheese and sauce that it fell apart as soon as I took a bite. I ended up eating the chicken with a knife and fork, but the bread was too soggy. Fries were good. Service was ok, not super friendly. I don't think I'd return unless it was for a drink and live music. read more

We were able to enjoy the holiday decor the Monday after Christmas. We arrived around 1230PM, and were seated right away, It wasn't busy, and although it was sunny, majority of the tables are covered so they had heaters at the tables which was nice. With the cover patios, it make for a dog-friendly space whether it's raining or sunny. We ordered our food and drinks; pasta bolognese, brisket (not shown in photo), side of Fries, and the burrata as an appetizer. The Christmas themed drinks are fun and the kitschy cups are always a hit. Our food arrived to the table within 5 minutes of ordering so that was nice but did throw off getting the appetizer at the same time as our entries. It is a good problem to have and we appreciate the quick service over the opposite! The pasta was yummy and filling, the brisket portion was 3 slices and a standard size dinner roll. My husband felt the portions were too small and in addition to the dinner roll, supplemented the small bread roll with the bread we got from the burrata appetizer. Our server Arthur was attentive and checked in on us serval times throughout the meal. It was nice to check this place out with seeing all the hype of the decorations. I can see why it's so busy on weekends and highly recommend enjoying this place during the week or after the holidays to avoid large crowds or waiting a long time. Unfortunately I didn't see any bowls for water for dogs and we weren't offered any for our dog so keep that in mind if you're bringing your dog. Overall, cute place to experience! read more
Been coming to Brewsters for years and this was the first time that I ordered main food dishes. I think they are definitely better when it comes to their other meat dishes, I've had better veggie burgers before. Their sides are fantastic though! Even when they were super busy the service is always fast and the staff is constantly checking on you. Also when it comes to the holidays there is no better place to come to see some festive decorations! You really feel like you're in a winter wonderland when you come here! read more
