It's a well lit, wine store that also has cheese, crackers and other beverages to grab and go. Towards the back you can order a glass of wine or half glasses. We both tried different wines and enjoyed them. My friend had an organ wine, Esoterico. I had a red from Kid Sister. Our winetender/sommelier was helpful in answering our profile questions. I do wish we could taste a few before choosing a glass, but I do like that they have options for half glass pours. I would definitely come back here and grab another glass or a bottle to go!

Not only are their beers expertly crafted, but they always have a carefully curated guest tap list to accompany their own beers. We've had nothing but friendly service here. We also absolutely love the ambiance; almost feels like we're in a European pub rather than a draft room in Oakland. Truly a comfortable space with quality beer.

We stopped into Original Pattern Brewing Company while spending some time around Jack London Square…read moreand really enjoyed the atmosphere. The space has a relaxed, welcoming vibe that makes it easy to settle in for a beer. Their tap list had a good range of options, and everything we tried was well done and easy to drink. One thing that made the stop even better was the food situation nearby. There is pizza right next door, which makes it simple to grab something to eat and bring it back with your beer. That setup worked perfectly for us. The staff were friendly, the space felt comfortable, and it is a spot we would happily return to next time we are in the area.

Tiger's Taproom is a great neighborhood spot.

I was a bit skeptical at first, since I'm not very into beer, and, it's obviously a taproom. But over the past year or two, they've almost always had an interesting cider or cocktail on tap as well. Additionally, there's almost always a food truck or pop up out front, so it's a good place to grab a bite and a pint and enjoy the atmosphere. You can tell the owner has put a lot into building a solid community. Every time I've gone in, everyone from staff to regulars have always been friendly. Overall, it's a favorite spot in Jack London, especially in the warmer months.

I stopped here after work to meet a friend. I had Pliney…read morethe Elder. It was delicious. There was a lobster truck out front serving food. We had lobster bisque and lobster tots. After being in the taproom for a while a person came around to invite us to play music bingo. It was a lot of fun, the host played songs from the 80's and if you had that song on your bingo card you marked it. We played several rounds, one line, two lines any direction, 4 corners and blackout. The music was good and people were excited to win the prizes from the Bingo! I didn't win so I don't know what they won, maybe next time...

The beers on tap were really good and their pizzas where equally as good. The vibe was really cool and I love how much seating there was. The outside is massive and they also have a cool smaller inside which can still sit a fair amount of people. Staff was super friendly as well. Would I come back.. if I was in the area yes for sure. Good drinks and food and if you want to catch a game they have TV's for that as well.

I have to say, the beer was good, and our waiter was super friendly, but unfortunately the food was…read morepretty horrible. We ordered the veggie pizza, which came out soggy and barely lukewarm. The mac and cheese had the same issue, and the potato salad was extremely bland. What made it even more disappointing was that our waiter specifically recommended both the mac and cheese and potato salad, telling us they were "so great." Not so much, man. Not so much. We also ordered a burger with fries, and the fries were soggy, cold, and honestly looked like they had been sitting around for a while. The restaurant wasn't even that busy and seemed overstaffed. A lot of the staff, both out front and around the kitchen, were standing around talking with each other, so it was frustrating to receive food that wasn't fresh or even properly hot. The beer was definitely the highlight. I'd come back for drinks, but I'd absolutely skip the food next time.

They have an upstairs and downstairs area. Just note there's not A/C, so the upstairs area can get warm on hotter days. They have a great selection of beer, but I always end up gravitating towards their Limitless Bavarian Hefeweizen. They even have agua fresca which is made from a local. So good and refreshing! They do have some food offerings as well. Always greeted with friendly service. I love that they collaborate and have lots of events going on. That's how I heard about their annual chili cook-off! Plenty of parking available. Just don't park in front of the parklets. I got ticketed there once since the red on the curb was faded and discovered after the fact that there was a fire hydrant hidden behind the tree. Overall, just a great spot to chill and grab a beer with some friends. Will continue to patron Oakland United Beerworks.

The service was great, they allow dogs inside as well. There's an upstairs area with high top tables, couches, and space to stand too. They have an extensive beer and wine menu. I appreciate their NA selection too. It was really hot and I didn't eat enough so I got a N.A. Mexican lager for $10, it was awesome. It had great flavor, not too watery, easy to drink. Their prices were good, space was clean. They even have a beer fridge if you want to get a pack. I would come back for a drink with friends

On the other hand, there's a staff member who functions both at the bar and as a server, who has one of the shittiest attitudes working at a restaurant. You know, the one who will flip his bitch-switch because he's having his monthly menstrual cycle when you're there? Yeah, that one. My thing is that if you're working at a place that is in the field of "hospitality" (e.g. restaurant, hotel), your personal problems take a backseat, and you are to provide a pleasant experience to your clientele. I do not care to receive any feeling of hostility because you cannot regulate your emotions because of your problems with whomever you're having a beef with. If you're contemplating whether to patronize this establishment, by all means avoid the person that has straight-ish shoulder length hair and that wears glasses. He has a very bitchy, snide, and condescending attitude that you'd want to avoid. As I said, the food is a 4, but this individual drops the rating for Yelp down to a 1.

Quality/Quantity - Wow, has it been 4 years since I have been here!!!! This might be my new favorite Alameda Brewery! Discovered and bought the 36oz Stein! With $10 refills. Help... Wait, I don't need help; I can drink all this by myself. Today I got the Aussie Holiday - To remind me of my Australia Holiday. And the Fest Coast - German IPA, have not been to Germany (yet).

My wife ordered a blueberry bacon cheese burger - So good. Pictures uploaded at Scolaris. And now Marley's G is here from Park Street. I will eat here on the next trip. Atmosphere - Cool, hip, and rocking!! The place was fairly empty, but today was a Monday. Very family oriented, family friendly. See all my pictures. Pinball machines, arcade, sand box for kids, etc. Also very dog friendly; surrounded by dogs, in a positive way. :) Indoor/outdoor seating - See pictures. Indoor seating - Table, bar, lounge, etc. Plenty of parking across the street. Two parking lots now, one dirt and one paved. I only took one picture. Open 7 days a week from 11am or noon till 9pm, 10pm or 11pm; see Yelp or their website for specific hours. Private events available. Do you give tours of your warehouse or brewery? Service - Good, I like the new system. It is much more organized. Quick and friendly service. Price - $37 including tip. Expensive, but worth it. Can't wait to come back for more refills. :) Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2011 and this location since 2018; we were day one customers!
