    Mei Wah - Chinese New Year
    Greg M.

    Oldest and longest beer bar in the universe! And a wild history to boot... Multitudes of craft beers and all the backstories to go with them. Great people.

    This is Bea. She was my furry freak-child. She would accompany us to Mei Wah every time.

    This place rocks! There is always something new to try on the menu. A taste for everyone's palate. Hungry? There are places up and down the block that you can order from and bring into the establishment. [[HIGHLIGHT]]When there's live music, it's even more fun![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]And don't forget to spread out on the opium den canopy bed, and dream of different days in the Delta.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Such a unique spot![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] So glad I stumbled across it while hunting for bars in the area. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is stunning, inside and out, with an awesome beer selection and a vibe that nods to the old Chinese towns nearby.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Definitely one of those hidden treasures... but part of me wants to keep it a secret.

    Incredible historic buildings
    Todd R.

    Amazing curated beer stock, wide range of super tasty options. Hostess was extremely congenial, and knowledgable. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The Beer Room and the whole little town of Isleton are dripping with well-weathered history.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Great stop in the delta, destination-worthy stop.

    Iva, the owner, pouring the joy... with love.

    The most well-curated tap list I've ever encountered. Iva cares and it shows. This place is a destination drive, FOR SURE. But if you're passing through, by all means, stop in for AT LEAST one pour. But really, go out of your way to visit. Must. Do. Need more than 5 stars to properly assess...

    If you like funky out of the way bars with great beer, you need to stop here. They don't have good (other than popcorn) but they allow you to bring it in. There are a few raised tables and seating at the bar.

    I've been here 3 times now. My bride and I are borderline beer snobs, only I love IPA, she hates them, but loves sours and I hate them. This is without question the best tap room in the Bay Area. Without a doubt. No TVs, no WiFi, no BS, just cold taps and the company you keep. Shared 4 flights with my bride, sandwiches from the McBoodery, and lost at cribbage. Iva is awesome and deserves all the credit for creating such an epic spot.

    I love this place! The owner is so friendly, making sure her guests are all pleased. Great selection of draft and canned beers. BYOF. The atmosphere is true to the old Chinatown Delta days and upholds that aesthetic. I wish I lived closer but will enjoy some days here this summer!

    Cool place to sit and drink and chat

    This establishment was originally built in 1915 by Chinese immigrants and later purchased by Al…read moreAdami naming the restaurant Al the Wops. Walking into the bar and grill, you can see the many dollars tacked onto the ceiling and the nostalgic background behind the bar of days gone by, which usually plays host to local farmers, boaters, and tourists in the area. My sister and I decided to take a scenic drive along the Sacramento River and recalled our dad's stories of hanging out at Al's after a day of fishing the river and how the place really "hit the spot!" We pulled up and parked on the narrow little street and walked into this well-known place with the smell of garlic French bread wafting into the air and locals sitting at the bar. We were taken into a small back dining area and given the menu. I ordered the infamous steak sandwich, while my sister ordered the Al's burger, and my husband ordered the fish tacos. The plates were quickly brought out to us and were very generous portions. The steak sandwich was so tasty and big, I was only able to eat about a fourth of it along with the delicious onion rings that came with it. My husband demolished the 3 fish tacos and french fries, and my sister managed to eat about half of her burger. We will definitely be back.

    My last time I was here many years ago, it was not a good experience. I was perusing the reviews…read moreand the menu, and I decided to go for a drive down the Delta, and give them another try. I hate to say it, but that was a mistake. Not the drive down the Delta, but stopping here.. As other people have mentioned, it's a cool space with lots of character. I Head into the dining room, and they were pretty busy. I was kind of surprised, as it was a Wednesday. If they are this busy at lunchtime on a Wednesday, I can imagine what they are like on the weekend. I waited a few minutes to sit down, and then finally I walked over and asked the server if I could just sit anywhere. She said yes, I could. She came over to my table to give me my menu, asked what I wanted to drink, and brought it right back. She said she would be right back to take my order, it was about 10 minutes. It only goes downhill from here.... So she comes and takes my order. I ordered an appetizer of the grilled bread with marmalade and peanut butter, and for my lunch, I ordered the spaghetti Bolognese. She said, "I will bring you your appetizer first." So I wait, and I wait, and I wait... As I mentioned, there was a good number of people in the dining room, and there were also people ordering food while sitting in the the barroom. . She was the only one serving, and it looked like there was only one, possibly two people cooking. 30 minutes in, I don't even have my appetizer yet. I waved her down and asked her, and she said it will be soon, there's still a few people ahead of me waiting for their food. As I was watching, I noticed that food was coming out of the kitchen pretty slowly. 45 minutes in... Still, not even an appetizer. I was going to wait a few more minutes, but then I noticed something. I was watching the server. She was not only bringing food, she was handling money I watched her scratch her head, wipe her face with her hand, and then she even scratched her behind, although through her shorts that she was wearing. They were jeans, shorts, and to me, they seemed pretty short for working in a restaurant That was enough for me, I left. I decided to go back home via the other side of the river. I crossed over, and almost immediately found a bar and grill, where I decided to stop for lunch. The service was stellar, and the food was amazing. The prices were also very good. Sorry, Al, I'm not going to wait for number three. Two strikes, and you're out.

If you come I highly recommend trying their chili, chili cheese dog, house salad, chili cheese fries, mozzarella sticks, garlic fries, potato salad, pizza or cajun chicken sandwich! This place is also a lot of fun in the summer as they often have live music outside and you can pull up on the boat! On Saturday nights they have karaoke at 8pm!

You will walk in and expect a brewery and see a restaurant. GIVE IT A CHANCE!! The good stuff: 1. Outside seating is available once the warm weather arrives. Gorgeous patio. Even if it's on Florin Road. 2. Two beers were created for each annexed/displaced people In the Vietnamese war: Vietnamese, Cambodian, Mien, Mong, and Lao. 3. Each beer has a story/history behind it. 4. The beer caters to the older crowd that loves Tsing Tao and Heineken. They created beers with that flavor pallet and made it their own. 5. They created craft beers for the younger generation and pair it with Asian food!!!!!!!! They literally have a beer that pairs with Pho!! 6. You can find their bottled beer in Corti Brothers now!! I'm so excited for this Asian Brewing Company and I can't wait to see their beers at all the other mom and pop Asian Restaurants. It would be amazing to have more choices besides Tsing Tao and Heineken!!
