    I came here for happy hour and ordered a beer and pretzel. They have a large outdoor seating area that is covered so you don't have to worry about the heat. Great selection of beer I would say the IPA beers are the best. Family friendly environment.

    The smash burgers were soooo good! Very juicy and flavorful. The beers were great also! Plenty of seating and cool vibes. Not a lot of parking so we found some street parking nearby.

    We have been wanting to check this place out for a while. Visited on a Sunday it was a bit cold but the fire pits are very nice. I enjoyed the outdoor fire pits makes a huge difference. Walked in and was ordering and the guy working the cashier wasn't too friendly. I ordered the hot cider and he mentioned they were out so I just said I would take a regular cider and in a rude tone said, I said I was out of the hot cider which I didn't order he just maybe wasn't listening but it felt pretty rude. We sat outside and enjoyed our drink and decided to visit the Walnut Creek location since it was right down the street and I'm glad we did. Overall this location is nice and cozy, good selection of drinks and food but because of our experience with the customer service and having more options for food and drinks at the location we will just visit there.

    If you can read and process this sign while turning off a busy street into a crowded lot, you might avoid a ticket.

    Came here after my son's first varsity baseball game thinking it would be the perfect spot to celebrate. Their website talks about a relaxed neighborhood vibe, but that wasn't our experience. Strike one: parking. I circled for a while and ended up in a small lot that looks tied to the business. Within 5 minutes I had a ticket. Not city parking, a private company. We saw at least four cars get ticketed while we were there, and one person told me they were towed. It also seemed like enforcement was constantly walking the lot. Maybe that's not the case, but it definitely felt that way. Not a great way to start. Strike two: atmosphere. Before we even got settled, staff had already said something to our 2-year-old for walking around the outdoor area. We go to plenty of breweries and wineries and have never had an issue. It felt pretty uptight for a place that's supposed to be casual. According to their website, dogs are welcome, but it didn't feel like kids were. We seriously considered leaving right then. Strike three: food and seating. I ordered a smash burger with a Beyond patty. What came out was basically a frozen puck thrown on the grill until it hit temp and then served. No smash, no effort, just the minimum. Chips on the side were minimal. We were also sitting on a bench with no table, which made eating awkward. Maybe there are better setups elsewhere, but that was our experience. "Always room at the table" only works for those fortunate enough to have a table. Only positive: the beer. The beer was good. I had the Second Bloom and enjoyed it. We came to celebrate a big moment and instead dealt with tickets, getting corrected by staff, and a pretty underwhelming meal. Not somewhere I'd go back to by choice.

    Real chill bar. My buddy and i came in asking for bbq, but it was next door. Happy accident. Boss told us we could bring food over, but not beer over to Horn's. Next time we'll have to try Headland's smash burgers!

    Another 5 star day at Headlands! 2nd Bloom--you gotta try it!!! Came to watch the finish of the game of the week, stayed for the music, the dog atmosphere, excellent food and service, plus that 2nd Bloom beer

    Love this little gem! It's tradition to stop in before a St. Mary's Womens soccer game and Headlands never disappoints! Great Staff... super cool staff to be honest! The Burgers are "smashing!"... the seating areas are so cool and loads of options! There's even a barber shop that there too! Make it happen and stop by!

    Super crowded when we came Friday afternoon but we found two seats and grabbed a mini table with our dogs. This place was packed and had so much going on. They were grilling smash burgers outside and different seating indoors and outdoors. We got a couple of beers and had some smash burgers, fries and nachos. The burgers were sooo good! Lots of families, couples and dogs

    This is a nice spot to grab dinner, especially on a day with good weather. The outdoor seating is comfortable with heaters to keep you warm, and I believe they also have live music at times, which is really nice! Food-wise, I got the smash burger, which was just okay - kind of small for the price and took about 20 minutes to come out. Not sure I'd order it again. On the other hand, I really enjoyed my 13 oz Solar Black Currant Sour, though at $9, it felt a bit pricey. Overall, a good place for drinks and a relaxed vibe, but the food and pricing could be better.

    I revisited Headlands Brewing Company, and while everything was satisfactory, I was not impressed with their soda. I believe their beverages required additional carbonation. The cuisine was mediocre, but the service was commendable. A community builder...organizer of a meetup group, I brought my members here for a second time, and live music performance. was exceptional.

    Outside area with turf. Kid friendly environment

    My sister lives nearby and recommended that we stop at this place on a sunny Sunday afternoon. It was soooooo hot outside but we braved the heat and decided to go. The business has an air conditioned indoor area, covered outdoor areas, and the turf area with umbrellas. It was so accommodating. We sat with 4 adults and 2 kids outside at one of the fire pits on the turf (fire pit not lit bc HELLA HOT). You can order from QR codes outside, at a window on the outside or inside the taproom. The staff was so friendly and the food was delicious. They have different types of burgers, hot dogs, nachos and other goodies. The beet on tap is delicious, especially the IPAs! They even have frose We stayed for about 4 hours. Can't wait to go back here again. TVs: YES, inside and out Bathrooms: 2 located outside Water Station: 2: 1 indoor, 1 outdoor Non alcoholic options: YES! Food: yes, the filling kind Kid friendly: Yes! Pet friendly: yes
