We came to celebrate my brother's birthday, the first of three planned stops. When we went (a few weeks ago) the kitchen was closed so hummus and snacks were the food options, we did not try them. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great location and had high hopes for my first time here.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Server did not really seem to want me to order at the bar instead of through the QR app. I ordered two flights and two single drinks for our party of four and one of the flights was not correct when brought to our table. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Regardless we drank through the flights, enjoying the nice weather that day.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Went up and purchased a mix and match four-pack on the way out, tipped well despite the so so service. Made our next stops and when we got home later was really disappointed to see the beers I brought home were not the ones I asked for. I know, my bad for not checking before I left, but I was left with the feeling that there was no attention to detail regarding the service we received that day. Two stars because we enjoyed most of the beers we did try. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]First I have to say, I love that I can bring my dog and that the staff is always kind about it too.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The few times Ive gone they are so courteous and bring her a bowl of water. I'm not a big beer drinker as opposed to my niece and friends, but I do like the blackberry parfait fruited sour ale. It's not really sour. Especially in comparison to the aloha vibes sour. I also tried the froze which has peach puree I believe l. It wasn't too bad either. The one day we were there, there happens to be a smash burger vendor and they were very well done. So if you go and they are there, worth a try. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There was actually a bunch of ceramic vendors set up along the side as well. Not sure if it was part of the breweries doing, but it was a nice to go take a stroll over and go peek at the goods.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Everyone we've encountered here had always been friendly, nothing but good vibes. read more

¡Me encantó! El servicio es muy bueno, te reciben de buena manera y eso hace que el ambiente sea increíble! Primero debes encontrar estacionamiento para poder llegar y déjenme decirles que la zona es segura. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Es un lugar abierto donde puedes compartir con tus amigos; adicional es pet friendly; Ojo: si van anocheciendo lleven jacket para ustedes y sus perros.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] No lo veo como un lugar para niños o familiar. Tienen una alta variedad de cervezas y yo me pedí el Vino Rosé y está mega delicioso... El lugar como tal no tiene comida (basado en mi experiencia que tuve), tuvimos que pedir de DoorDash para que nos llevaran algo de comer, ya que ese día solo tenían chips y aderezos. No les doy 5 estrellas porque el baño de hombres estaba bastante mal, uno de los urinarios no servía, estaba bastante sucio. De resto, si regreso y lo recomiendo! read more

I have loved fieldwork since its first location opened in Berkeley. Beer selection is creative and delicious. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance at their breweries are always fun and chill.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The hazy beers at fieldwork are my go-to. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The location in San Mateo has now expanded to include a large TV and they play local sports games now, which is awesome.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I wish they sold larger beer packs at Costco so it would be easier to bring to parties vs having to visit the brewery. read more

As a local and a guide, highly recommend everyone to stop by here. The service and craft brews are fantastic. You can bring your own food. They have a decent menu or you can QR code get food delivered from next-door. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Lots of comfy chairs there's a plush leather couch, fire pit and outdoor patio their kid, friendly + dog friendly . Even cat friendly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If you're new try the PULP 6.9% citra IPA its their flagship. Smooth. Not bitter. Everything here is good. Ask for a sample try the double IPA.! You will definitely enjoy coming back here Time and Time again great for locals and anyone visiting. I've never had a bad time here. Very awesome staff. Fieldwork has several locations in the bay, originally from Berkeley , and new one in Sacramento. Cheers read more

The post-work rush is real at Fieldwork. We weren't expecting for it to be as crowded as it was since it was before 5 PM, but it definitely was. You should also come a lot earlier if it's a cold day and you want to sit by a heat lamp. Unfortunately there was only one table available to us (which we ended up sharing with another party) and it was in the area with the TV but no heaters, so it was a bit chilly the whole time. They have a huge beer selection; I'd definitely want to come back and try the customizable flight which looks fun. I got the Hills and Valleys + Jelly Packet sour ale. Both were good, but not striking. We opened a tab when we ordered at the counter, but then learned that you could just order via QR code at your table to which they bring out your drinks to you. The ambiance got a lot better as the sun started to set and the string lights came on. read more

We are truly in love with this place. We live walking distance and love the community vibe here.

My husband and i have been going to this place for a while but it seems like lately it's really hard to get a table because they are all reserved for kids event. There were three tables reserved for the same person. If you ask me they should only be allowed to reserve one table to allow more people enjoy the tables. I know it's not typically too hot there but maybe adding more umbrellas to add more shade to the sunny areas. read more

We came across Fieldwork while visiting Oxbow Public Market and decided to stop in around 10:30am on a Saturday. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was nice, quiet and we pretty much had the indoor space to ourselves.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is a large outdoor area with a ton of seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The employee at the counter greeted us right away and was welcoming. They have a solid variety of beers on tap with plenty of options to choose from. I went with the shandy, and it was exactly what I was looking for. Refreshing, flavorful, and perfect for a warm spring day. In addition to what's on tap, they also have a fridge stocked with canned beers available to grab on your way out. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great spot to cool off and enjoy a quality beer before or after exploring the Oxbow market.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Fun spot for a big group of us to gather![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have lots of outdoor tables and a field next door for kids to run around, play, set up games, picnic blanket, etc.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Just not super easy getting between the field and the tables, you either circle around or awkwardly go under the tables on the outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Parking was easy on a Sunday mid afternoon. read more

Fieldwork is one of my favorite breweries due to its fast changing menu and creativity. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This particular location is seated near apartment complex and therefore quite busy over the weekend.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The garden has plenty of seatings and playground but during the peak time the seats might be limited.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]But the sunlight for location is blocked by a huge building complex so it can be a bit chilly without heaters around.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

We were visiting friends in the area and thought we would check out this location. It is situated among office buildings and looks like a park in the middle of. There are many picnic tables to sit as well as chairs and bocce ball area. The buildings are containers for the beers and restroom area. The beer selection is good but their food menu is limited compared to the Sacramento location . read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Came to fieldwork for the first time and we reserved the firepit. It was such a great spot for the kids and parents. Lots of open space for kids to run around and still within eyeshot of parents.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They had smash burgers available but not through fieldworks. QR codes all around to order your drinks. Many beers on tap. Friends also told us that you can get other food DoorDashed and delivered there which is so great! read more

Fieldwork is one of my favorite breweries in the Bay! The San Mateo location specifically is tucked in a nice area surrounded by tall business buildings and very accessible by CalTrain. It's also a short walk from Hillsdale Mall so that's a plus! In addition to their wide assortment of IPAs and sours, the main advantage of Fieldwork is their quick and convenient ordering system. Just scan the nearest QR code to where you are sitting, order from your phone, and they will bring your drink to you wherever you are! You can start a tab or pay as you go, it's really flexible. [[HIGHLIGHT]]And their seating area is quite spread out, equipped with picnic tables, benches, stools, heaters, fire pits, and a sand pit.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibes are always great whenever I come to grab a beer![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I like that the area is chill and relaxed. There is a small patch of grass and seating area right outside (no alcohol allowed past the Fieldwork patio) and they allow well-behaved dogs and children. It's a convenient place for meeting up. The only problem is parking, but Sundays has unlimited parking. We ordered food/drinks from the table which was convenient. The drinks were Ok - we ordered a berry parfait and aloha. They were OK. The food was good when the kitchen was open, but now the food is from Bagche which was not that good. -the calamari was mixed with vegetables. The burger wasn't as good as Roam and was well-done instead of medium and kinda bland. The falafel and kofta rice plates were bland, small-portion for what you pay, overcooked...and mostly rice. Never again. I paid extra for the Greek fries...it was just seasoned. Might as well go to Nick the Greek. read more

We love this place and had not been in a long time. Unfortunately, it is the closest Fieldwork to San Jose. I wish they put one in the south bay! After a fun morning at Coyote Point, we came here for drinks and lunch. Right now there isn't any food options close by so thank goodness they have delicious Detroit style pizza and a VEGAN cheese option! It was soo delicious that I ate the entire pizza by myself. I also finally got to try their blueberry beer slushie and it was just as spectacular and refreshing as it looked on IG. They had three slushies on tap and a bunch of great summer beers. I took home a four pack of a non alcoholic summer beers (Grapefruit blonde). This place is ideal for kids, groups, and sunny vibes. The service is friendly and relaxed. read more

review #203, 09.22.25's visit I was "dragged" to check out City Center Bishop Ranch, a boujee outdoor mall. Circled around for an overview first and noticed cop cars in a roped off section. So, we parked inside instead, but were stopped by security when walking out onto that wing. Later found out about the $1M jewelry armed robbery by nearly 2 dozen ppl. Scary to think what if we ran right into that mess if we came earlier?! V I B E S . . . Anyhoo, fam wanted to show me this Fieldwork where he has been to. (We've drank at another 1of8 locays before). Outdoor tables w/ umbrella shades. Venue door left opened on a hot, late summer afternoon in Tri Valley. (Too bad no HH)! Enter into counter service; taps & bar seating wraparound to right and tables w/ tons of natural light thru floor-to-ceiling windows on a corner lot. D R I N K S . . . - Aloha Vibes, tropical sour ale draft | beer taste that's not for me, personally - Aloha Vibes, frozen 7% ABV, $8.5 | refreshing alkie slushie from a machine up front - Frose 13%, $12 | frozen rosé slushie in the other N O M S . . . Didn't try, but avail: - Wrap, M-Th - Fried apps - Salads - Pizzas S E R V I C E , etc . . . Friendly gal was helpful & informative Return? Yea, we enjoy Sry, for once, no pix cuz it was a quick stop. I also assumed there would be a ton, but to find out no recent menu posts or searchable drinks that we had! Next time... P.S. If u found what I spent time on to be of help, show this (Asian) sista some love by SMASHing a reaction & FOLLOWing me if u don't already!! ;-P Thx in advance & may there be more noms in our futures, cheers... read more

Fieldwork San Mateo has changed quite a bit. Their menu online is outdated - no longer serve pizza. If you want food, you have to order through a QR code, and the food is catered from a nearby Mediterranean restaurant ( https://www.bahchesf.com ) instead of being made in-house. Drinks were great as usual, but the food situation was not what I expected. Should have taken a pic but there's no indoors. All outdoors and theres portion of the outdoors that's hooded . All areas have heater fans, I visited on a cold day and it was very comfortable. Still a great place to hang out, group, casual date, big screen TVs outside to watch the game, and very family friendly. read more

June 2025 review Beer sampler - Legit ! Kid friendly - YESS ! Pizzas - kids and adult selections are great If you are in the area and want to stop by for lunch/dinner/snacks/happy hour give this brewery a try Secret - the fried cauliflower is da-bomb My only nit - for the chicken pizza the meat is shredded ? Not a fan unfortunately :( Apologies for the half eaten pizza pics - our group was super hungry read more

Miss the pandemic? This place has you covered! You scan a QR code and your socially distanced craft beer adventure begins. Just don't add a beer to your tab after 8:45pm. They automatically close your tab. The silent last call has screwed you out of your second beer. I used to book hotels in downtown Napa just to visit this place when it was in the Oxbow. They had amazing servers who loved craft beer and offered amazing insights. Now, it's sort of like a visit to the DMV. The beer is still amazing. But, you will probably need to grab some cans to go if you value any level of customer service or human interaction. read more

Fieldwork Brewery is such a great spot! Their sour beers are amazing--always a great selection and so well done. The food is just as good, especially the fresh salads and delicious pizza, which pair perfectly with the beer. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The outdoor seating is one of the best parts. It's the perfect place to sit back, relax, and enjoy the atmosphere, especially on a nice day.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great drinks, great food, and a perfect outdoor vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Definitely one of our favorite places to go! read more

We went to Fieldwork after a team pottery class next door and it ended up being a great happy hour spot. The vibe was super chill, clearly a common corporate HH spot as most people were in their company vests/patagonias LOL. Upon arriving, we seated ourselves outside at one of the big benches with a heater, which was perfect. Each table has a QR code you can scan from multiple phones, and it all goes on one tab, which made ordering for a group really easy. I got the Rainbow Parfait sour--it was super refreshing and had a nice tangy kick. We split two Detroit-style pizzas (pesto and pepperoni), and honestly, they were really good. Crispy edges, good flavor, right thickness, not too salty, just overall solid. We also shared some pretzels with mustard dip--simple but also solid. One of my coworkers ordered a flight and we all passed it around to try. Definitely good value if you want to sample a few things. I would totally come back, I almost wish places like this were more common in the city/mission bay area read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The outdoor setup alone makes this a great place to hangout on a nice day (and the heaters make sure you can do it when the weather is not nice).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I love coming here on a sunny day to read a book and have a flight/beer or two.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My only complaint would be the price of a pint, but you can't deny that the beer is good. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Fantastic beer garden with comfortable outdoor seating and friendly service![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Would be great when the full kitchen menu resumes. In the meanwhile, there are tasty pita chips and dips available to order and a nearby pop-up stall serving burgers and fries. read more

4/6/24 Zach and I came out to Fieldwork Brewing Company for some beers and a snack. Since it is dog friendly, we had to bring Coco. This place is all outdoors with heat lamps, two fire rings and some overhead covering. Water cups and water are provided in water jugs like the ones sports teams use. To order, you scan the QR code on the table, open a tab and the food/drink is brought to your table. The staff are friendly and you are allowed to bring outside food to eat at the tables / fire rings. Zach got a IPA beer, and I got the Rainbow parfait. To share, we got pita bread and hummus. The pita bread was warm, but the amount they put on the plate is not worth the price. I can see this place being a popular spot during the summer or at least on warmer days. Their food menu is pretty limited so it's probably better to bring our own food. Zach and I ordered from Roam Burger which is across the street, so we ate our burgers at Fieldwork. read more

I got the Aloha Vibes, which is a Kettle Sour Ale, and it totally lived up to the name--it was super fruity, light, and really refreshing. The outdoor space was big with tons of seating, and even though it got packed during the after-work crowd, it didn't feel cramped. People were standing around, sitting at picnic tables, just kind of hanging out and vibing. read more

Came here on a Saturday with a small group. It has a great outdoor space with tons of seating. We ordered a variety of pints and enjoyed the fruity IPAS. We had a few pizzas, both were fabulous.

Lovely neighborhood brewery, will definitely be back. Came here after work with my colleagues to grab drinks and food. I tried a curated flight called East meets West which was 6 different IPAS. It was a pretty generous pour which is great for beer enthusiasts. I was driving so it was bit too much for me to finish. The pretzel, hummus and Detroit style pizza were all delicious and perfect accompaniments to the beer. It was good crowd for a Wednesday and seemed like a mix of people who live in the area and folks who work in nearby companies. Fire pits make it inviting even when weather is a little chilly. I saw bocce and bean bag toss games as well, didn't play but it's nice option and adds to the cool vibe. read more

My friend and I came here to catch up with some beers and pizza! Fieldwork pizza was crazy good. The Detroit style pizza was done perfectly with each corner piece having a perfectly crispy golden cheese skirt. Toppings were savory and made me go in for another bite every time. I loved the fireball for its spice but my friend preferred the kale yeah for its pesto. Services order from phone at the table. They're super quick! Ambiance is perfect - string lights are up and there's a lot of space. The beer in my opinion is where this place is alright - with flights, some of the beers were hit or miss. Sours weren't really sour and leaned on fruity candle esque smell/taste. I really liked their cow stout though! Overall I'd for sure recommend Fieldwork for any event! read more

So good!!! The flight is def the move to get, great varied selection and most are local or fieldworks originals. The pizza was banging and they had a vegan sausage option which I really appreciated!!! Loved the pesto one especially. Only reason I'm taking one off is a server got pissy at us for moving one of the water coolers, but they were both empty and we were just bringing it over to tip the last of it into our water cups! read more

If you are ever in San Mateo area with a big group and also pets, especially when the weather is great, you have to try visiting this brewery.
