One of my first brewery adventures in Sac, loved the atmosphere and the beer selection of this location. Parking can be a bit tricky, since its located in next to Zocalos and Paesanos, two popular restaurants. Because I came on a Saturday night, it was pretty crowded, but my friend and I were able to get a spot on the counters. It can be hard to find seating since this place is small, especially on the weekends. The staff is very attentive and friendly, and suggested beers we were looking for. I got the American Stout the first round, and the cream ale for the second round (both 12 oz, $7 each). The American Stout was not too heavy, on the drier side, glad that the lady on the counter suggested me this. :) The cream ale was also very delicious, great beer to drink after a dark beer. Next time I come here, I'll try the flight, 6, 3 oz beers for $14! Great place to grab a beer or two with friends and dates, will definately be back here again! read more

Visited here last week on a business trip. The food and the beer is really great. My favorite beer was the King Citra. It was accompanied by a meatball sub which was really good as well. The bartender was really friendly and it is clear that they love dogs there. They brought out a water bowl to the patio and they give out dog biscuits. Great place to go while on a break for work. Next time I visit Sacramento again, this will be on my list of places to revisit. read more

Nice beer selection from light and dark lagers to some local IPAs. Hopefully as a beer drinker, you'll find something that will suit to your liking! They have a decent food selection as well. I tried their grilled cheese and their pretzel. One order of the pretzel comes with two big soft pretzels which is a nice surprise! For some reason I was expecting small bites. Definitely enough to share. Day or night there's always a nice crowd. There's enough tables and chairs indoor and outdoor, however, it's not guaranteed that you'll get one but there's enough space to hang out. It's also Dog friendly! My favorite kind of bars. There's tables outdoors too and enough heating lamps. Fieldworks has an industrial vibe and is clean. Parking situation is similar to everything around the midtown area. It is street parking but there's plenty around and it's not a bad walk since there's plenty of people around. read more

Fieldwork is a great place to unwind at the end of a long day. There is bites, but I stuck to beer. I had Chloe, which is a Belgian Pale Ale. So good. My boyfriend had a beer too, but I don't remember the kind. My friends had Chocolate Thunder God. That was a big beer. I originally went for the Brewery passport, but they were not apart of it but still stamped my passport, so i have a stamp that the bf, and friends dont have yet! Great place! read more

By far the best brewery in the Sacramento area. I only wish was bigger because there's rarely space to sit during peak hours. I haven't had a beer here that I don't like and that's including their stout/porter. I had their morning brew even when I usually hate stouts. Their stouts are amazing and smooth. I didn't feel as if I was chewing on my beer like other stouts do. If you like citrus IPAs be sure to try theirs. I think it was called Citra. It was good enough that I brought a growler home. Looking forward to trying their Berkeley location asap. read more

Fieldwork stood out to us on a recent trip to Midtown with their great curb appeal and attractive patio area. We were really happy to find that they also have great brews and complimentary snacks in their small, but delightfully styled tap room. Upon arriving we queued up to place our order at the bar where we were greeted by a very knowledgeable and helpful bartender. We found out that this is a satellite location for them and the actual brewhouse is in Berkley, yet they still had almost 20 beers on tap. Varying widely from light to dark (with a large bulk of IPA's) we opted for a custom flight of refreshing lighter beers to complement the warm summer day of our visit. We loved the Fieldtrial #366 Single Hop Wheat Ale for its refreshing taste and hoppy complexion. In addition to our beers, we also ordered snacks off of their custom menu which is provided by their neighbor restaurant Zocalo. The spiced mixed nuts and Cubano sandwich were both delicious and went well with our beer selection. Seating at Fieldwork is communal and we were happy to strike up a friendly conversation with fellow beer drinkers at our table. Tip: By the time we left on a Saturday afternoon, the place was packed solid. I'd highly recommend getting here early if you want a spot on their nice patio. read more

Coconut IPA was bomb! So glad we discovered this gem during our Sactown visit. The outdoor space has heaters for cooler evenings and the sun hit it perfectly in the afternoon for happy hour. They had sufficient card games to entertain our group of 16monthold to 37yo. Even the sandwich we purchased was unique and delicious. Baby/kid friendly- I saw multiple families- without being too cray- no official play area. I hope to find your brews in PDX. read more

I LOVE Fieldwork Brewing, so far my father and I have visited the Berkeley and San Mateo location. This place was a little cold and drafty when we visited last week but we weren't about to let a little chill keep us from some quality brews. Gentleman at the bar helped us, the beer I was looking for was sold out but the gentleman kindly suggested an alternative, I was so glad I went with his suggestion. I love Fieldworks bright, crisp, hoppy, unfiltered beers. My father likes just about anything with hops in it. We each had 2 beers and also took a taste of the ones each other got. Wonderful as always! Although we didn't order food, other customers did and it all looked amazing. The place itself is clean and well kept. I really like the long tables and benches to share. I unfortunately don't remember the names of the beers we tried but they're all great. The only one I do remember is the "Hot Chocolate" , I wasn't a fan, I gave it to my dad, he loved it. read more

Super rude service. I ordered a flight with my boyfriend. His ID had expired the day before because it was his thirtieth birthday and he hasn't received his new ID. They didn't serve him so I ordered my own (as was always the plan) and drank it myself. I went to order another FOR MYSELF and the person serving me (different guy than before) told me it was suspicious that I was getting another flight and didn't feel comfortable serving me. It was fully my intention to drink the second flight myself as well, as we were on our way to a Kings game and the pours are amall, and as the only minority and a woman in the bar I felt that this was extremely rude to say to me and to insinuate. Don't come here if you're from SF. read more

I'm so glad Fieldwork Brewing Company is now in Sacramento! I've been a huge fan of Fieldwork since visiting their Berkeley location about a year ago. I am always excited when I see their brews on tap in the Sacramento area, so it's great to have a place to go to try a great number of their brews. Beers range in price from $6 to $8, but are all well worth the cost. I personally enjoy their goses and IPAs the most. The location is a bit smaller than the Berkeley location, but the space is well utilized. I can't wait to go back and try more brews, and get a crowler or growler to go! read more

I enjoy coming here partly because I like busy places at times. They have several beers available and pretty big flights. Been here quite too often to talk about all the beers but def recommend as a place to taste new beers. They also serve food til about 9 or 10; Cubano sandwich on point and comes with potato chips. The place is quite small so finding a table is difficult. Good thing is, everyone are quite friendly so sharing tables is never an issue. Just be social!

Came here with a small group over the weekend, and boy was I impressed! Lots of great beer selections, a very cozy atmosphere, and the sandwiches/homemade chips were great! The only problem is that it appears others felt similarly, as they were packed! We walked in and then within 10 minutes the entire place was packed! My boyfriend is friends with the owner, who happened to drop by and say hi, he is a really nice guy, knows his stuff when it comes to brewing beer. I am very impressed with Fieldwork and when traveling through Berkeley will also try out their brewery as I would imagine it is also a very nice place to sit down and enjoy a beer.

Parking: Free street parking (2-hour limit) Kids and dogs friendly!!! They also brew their own beers locally!!! The owner is an Army veteran with 27 years of service, which is reflected in the identity and pride of the space. The brewery also won a 2025 California State Fair Gold Award in the commercial craft brew competition. The unisex restroom is even called the "Latrine," staying true to the military theme in a fun and intentional way. What to Order: * Presidio: West Coast IPA (6.7%) * Fog of War: Hazy IPA (6.7%) * Colonel Concord: Seltzer (5.2%) They also offer 4-pack and 6-pack mix-and-match to-go options, which is a great bonus if you want variety. Seating & Atmosphere: There is both indoor and outdoor seating, with misting outdoors during the summer for comfort. It's a community-focused brewery that hosts scheduled events, such as Thursday trivia nights. There is also food trucks on occasional events!! MURAL: One standout feature is the mural, officially titled "At Ease Brewing Co. Mural." It was created by Glen Warren, creative director at Sacramento-based Commuter Industries. The artwork blends a mid-century modern and space theme, featuring stylized rockets and celestial elements. It complements the brewery's vintage military vibe while still feeling playful and inviting. What I really appreciate is that the business gave the artist full creative freedom rather than forcing a strict military theme. That generosity shows in the final result: it feels authentic and visually striking. As the artist shared, the goal was to create something bold, simple, and joyful: an "Instagram hotspot" that brings a moment of optimism, especially reflecting post-2020 sentiment. Overall, it's a well-thought-out space with great beer, strong identity, and a welcoming community feel.

As we are in…read moreour mid-late thirties, we have been looking for somewhere we can go that doesn't give a club vibe or a lot of riff-raff, but we can enjoy an adult environment for cocktails or beers. This place hit every weekend interest on our list. Good drinks, great food, and such. Good atmosphere. Even though we were on a date night, even with kids and families running around and enjoying themselves the energy was perfect. We enjoyed the live music, the beer and cocktails we enjoyed, the pizza was yummy, and we could relax enough to have great conversation without having to worry about someone around us causing chaos or acting out. The setup is nicely curated with options for drinks and food. Tables for sitting and dining or fire pits and lawn chairs for leisure. The space was clean and easy to navigate. Check-in was a breeze and no pressure. Overall very very good experience. This will be a place we come back to for future date nights or bring our kiddos with us for special events. It's family-friendly and comfortable without feeling overwhelmed with kids for those who are on a kid-free outing. Idk how they manage to have this balanced, but they do and it's great!

So I for sure wasn't going to miss it. Left work early to make sure I could get parking and settled before the 7pm start time. Food and service was good quality, food prep and service was pretty fast considering Service we went to both the bar and the restaurant and both people we interacted with were super friendly professional and helpful. Cons: Boy oh boy this was the really bad part!!! Like if the above was solid I would rate a 1 . The movie started an HOUR late!!!! That was ridiculous. First they said something over the loud speaker that the movie was going to start 30 minutes later okay.... Essentially due to late arrivals. Ummm no. Then after 30 minutes they pushed it back another 30 min due to people getting their food and the back up in the kitchen. I'm sorryWHAT!? So essentially oh well to the people who came on time, add parking meters, and add it was a weeknight. SUPER FRUSTRATING and honestly terrible business practice. To be honest movie under the stars played this film twice this month for $13 after taxes. If you're in the financial position go there in Old Sac instead of the hassle of a 1 hour delay. I mean it did turn out well after everything was said and done but it didn't make me want to frequent this place if that's how they operate

There was plenty of parking and they had a food truck there that day (Cousins Maine Lobster). We were greeted right away and there is a selection of about 7 beers in the German style. We ordered a flight since we had not tried their beers before. There is seating inside and outside. We decided to sit outside since it was a nice day. There were no umbrellas so it got a bit hot. After asking the staff if they had umbrellas, they said yes and brought one right out. (It had been very windy the day before so we're putting away.) We enjoyed all of the beers and decided to try one more called Landbier which was poured slowly. It was very good. The Helles was also good. There was not one we didn't like. We will definitely be back to try some other beers.

I think it's a refreshing break from the IPA, stout and sour heavy featured beers at most other breweries. Their lagers are very flavorful and refreshing. I really liked their Landbier 6 minute pour that's presented with a beautiful foamy head you don't see at other breweries. Their interpretations on hazy, west coast and cold IPAs in lager and pilsner forms are very unique. Service is always excellent whenever I come by myself or with friends and coworkers. They're always in a good mood and welcome you to try beers before committing to a full or small pour. They also have a ton of space inside as well as a spacious outdoor patio. It's been a popular spot for events such as trivia, comedy shows and more. For food, they partnered with an Italian restaurant that recently won best overall and Italian in Sacramento just down the street for an exclusive brewery menu on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Their food is really good, especially their prosciutto wrapped burger and Philly cheesesteak fries. Rotating food trucks appear Friday-Sunday and the brewery is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. My only minor gripe is they aren't closer to me which might be a blessing in disguise since I'd probably gain some pounds if I was within walking or biking distance. I definitely recommend a visit if you're looking for a different type of craft brewery and want a break from the IPAs and sours.

I really enjoy Fieldwork Brewing in Midtown! The food is solid across the board--whether it's their salads, small bites, or pizzas (both thin crust and deep dish), everything has been tasty and fresh. It's a great spot if you want something beyond the standard brewery fare. The service works a little differently here--you order at the counter up front or scan a QR code at your table and order from your phone. It's not traditional table service, but it's quick and efficient, and the staff is always friendly when you interact with them. The ambience is one of the highlights. The space is open, modern, and a great place to hang out with friends over drinks and food. The only downside is the projector in the main area. A lot of people expect to watch sports here, but the projection quality isn't great--it looks like it's being cast onto a black chalkboard, which really dulls the picture. An upgrade would definitely take the experience up a notch. Overall, though, this is an awesome place to grab good food, enjoy a relaxed vibe, and spend time with friends. read more

Fantastic Brewery with Delicious Food & Dog-Friendly Vibes! This brewery is a must-visit, especially if you're a dog lover! The atmosphere is happy, chill, and welcoming, with friendly employees and a great outdoor patio that makes it even more enjoyable. The food here is top-notch, with a menu focused on crafty pizzas and appetizers. The Cauliflower Crisps are an absolute must-try--perfectly crispy and served with a delicious lemony dip. For pizzas, you get the choice between Detroit-style (thick, fluffy dough) or Napoletana-style (thin, classic). Both are excellent, making it hard to choose! Of course, the beer selection is just as impressive, featuring a variety of craft brews that pair perfectly with the food. Whether you're stopping by for a casual drink or a full meal, this spot delivers on all fronts. Highly recommend this place for great beer, amazing food, and an all-around fantastic experience! We'll definitely be back. read more

I travel for work and always make it a point to try new spots, especially breweries. This place popped up on my radar, and I'm so glad I stopped by! The beer selection is top-notch, with a variety of styles to please any craft beer enthusiast. What really stood out, though, was their selection of non-alcoholic options--something you don't often find at breweries, but such a great touch! The food is just as impressive, making it a perfect spot to grab a bite while enjoying your drink. The space itself is huge, so even when it's busy, it doesn't feel cramped. The vibrant art displays add to the atmosphere, making it a fun and unique place to hang out. Whether you're looking for a solid beer lineup, a chill vibe, or just a cool place to relax, this spot is a must-visit. read more

We came here on our first evening in Sacramento where they had a cool arrangement for their outside seating. They went out of their way to ensure everyone was warm and comfortable. I ordered one of their double IPA's and my wife ordered their Bock. Both beers were excellent and made better by the knowledgable staff helping us make our decision. The county has a mandate where you have to buy a food item with the beer, which wasn't an issue. We went with their baked wings - which were surprisingly good, exactly what you'd expect. They have many great beer to go options too, if you need to be in and out. read more

It is also very dog-friendly and our friends often bring their dogs with them when we sit outside. As this is a brewing company, let's start with their beer. I am always excited to come here as the Touchstone team are always trying out new and exciting combinations for their beer! Of course, this doesn't always mean good, but as a craft beer drinker the fun is trying something new-new--good or bad! I've also noticed that Touchstone is often doing a number of beer collaborations with other breweries which raises my excitement when thinking about going. Good beer needs good food, right? Well, so far everything we have tried at Touchstone has been pretty good. They have great intuition when it comes to flavor pairings and another thing I look forward to going here for! Highlights for me have been their Pepperoni focaccia pizza as well as their braised pork belly sandwich. Lastly, their staff is top-notch and incredibly hospitable. From recommending beer & food to providing samples of the beers before you make your decision. They seem to always be ready to offer rather than make you ask. We come here for their trivia nights which is always a lot of fun, but also competitive!

Most recently, I tried the Pimms Rangoon (Gin, Ro Pimm's, fresh lemon, ginger, pineapple, fizzy water) and a wine that I can't recall. The cheeze whiz (house made whipped manchego and parm on crostini) is a must-have. The bread is wonderful as well as the cheese and olive. I'm usually not crazy about green olives, but it worked so well with the cheese. I've had tinned sardines in the past, and they were fine... along the lines of a tin of Fishwife. Next time, I'll probably try another bread & cheese dish. I like the kitschy vibe. And, our servers were nice both times I've gone. If I lived a little closer, I'd probably drop by more often, but I'll keep this place in mind when I want a drink and a small snack to go with it (and dessert at Ginger Elizabeth is next door!).

A little disappointed by the tri tip chimichurri sandwich which had an excellent blend of flavor combos but the trip tip was dry, kinda tough and under seasoned for our palates. We wish there was also more chimichurri sauce. The fries that came with both plates were fried well. Finished off the meal with their Russia River Happy Hops IPA which was outstanding.
