Second visit here, and it's a great spot for a relaxed afternoon with the family…read more Headlands is right near the Pleasant Hill BART station, so it's an easy walk if you're coming by train. If you're driving, there's a parking lot shared with the neighboring office buildings, and this is the one downer: it isn't free. The lot runs on Metropolis Parking, so you'll need to create an account since it's automated and tracks your license plate. Scan the QR code at the register to validate one free hour. Otherwise it's $2.50 an hour plus a $1.50 service fee. We stayed 1 hour and 44 minutes and paid $4 after the complementary hour, so it's not terrible, just a hassle to set up. The ambiance is my favorite part. It's entirely outdoors, but there's plenty of shade. We went on a Sunday with football on, and once the Niners game started they put it on all the TVs and turned the game audio on too. The space is split into three distinct areas: an adults-only deck that's slightly elevated, a family and kids section along the outer fence, and a main middle area open to everyone. It's family and dog friendly, and both times we've visited there have been lots of kids, so keep that in mind if you want a more adult environment. Since it's strictly outdoors, a rainy or cold day could be a tough time to visit, but when the weather is nice it's a great place to grab a beer, a bite, and some sports. Ordering is flexible. You can order at the main counter, or scan the unique QR code at your table, order from your phone, and they'll bring everything right to you. My wife and I each had a different hazy IPA and both were good, and the overall beer selection is nice. On the food side, the burgers are above average but not spectacular. The fries were the better side: crispy and well seasoned with a spice blend. The Oreo and brownie cheesecake was a hit, and my wife and son devoured it. Prices are reasonable for the area, and the food and beer both hold up for what you pay. Overall, it's a fun, laid-back spot for families, dog owners, and sports fans, with a great setup. Just plan for the parking process.

The ambiance was awesome too, especially the great conversation with the bartender. Just a very chill, homey vibe. I'd definitely frequent here more often if I lived closer. A few pieces of constructive feedback: * The Butter Chicken Tacos were a bit underseasoned and needed a little more acidity * A spirits menu would be a nice complement, or even flight options * More rum options Will definitely try to come back. A definite recommend!

Fantastic drink. My friend tasted mine and ordered the same. The selection is the draw here. Whiskey lines the entire back wall, the rarer bottles sit behind wire-mesh locked cabinets, and there is a deep bench of tequila, beer on tap, and wine to round things out. One look at the shelves tells you they have the base for any drink you want. We split the Margherita flatbread, pesto, fresh mozzarella, and blistered cherry tomatoes, and it hit the spot as a drinking snack. The menu goes deeper than expected for a bar, with sliders, naan tacos, and charcuterie if you show up hungry. Service was good considering the staff-to-crowd ratio. Sevan stayed attentive the whole time and clearly knows his stuff. The vibe is chill and conversation-friendly, not too loud for the size of the room, with a bank of TVs toward the back if you want to catch a game. Logistics are easy. The bar sits a short walk from Pleasant Hill BART and parking in the area was no trouble. I've been a few times before and this visit confirmed why I keep coming back. For a high quality cocktail in the East Bay, this is the spot.

We arrived right at 3pm when HH starts and were greeted immediately by the host who told us we could sit anywhere at the bar , once we sat we were greeted by Julez who was such a great help and let us try a few beers until we found one we really liked. The food came out and it was great , we tried the pizza, the ahi tuna nachos, and the wings . Everything was great. Good sports bar with a ton of TV's definitely recommend to sit at the bar for HH

It's a great spot for a group or a celebration. My only issue is that the food is inconsistent. I usually order the spicy jambalaya with champagne or a cocktail. More often than not, the shrimp seem undercooked, and the dim lighting makes it hard to tell. During my visit last night, the shrimp still looked gray and didn't appear fully cooked. The temperature of the dish was also all over the place some bites were hot, others were lukewarm, and some were room temperature. I'm not sure if it was an off night or a change in the kitchen, but this isn't the first time I've been disappointed with the food. I enjoy the atmosphere and service, but I'd really like to see more consistency coming out of the kitchen. The food should be just as good as the vibe.

I love meeting friends here, but it's also one of the few places I genuinely enjoy going by myself because I always end up running into someone I know or meeting someone new while sitting at the big bar. The staff always makes me feel safe and welcome, too. They're always hosting fun events, it's a great place to watch sports, and I love that I can bring my dog along. I know some people are disappointed that Rotator is now required to be 21+ with the addition of wine, something many customers had been been asking for over the years. The owners are parents themselves, so I imagine this wasn't a decision they made lightly. Families with younger kids still have several great brewery options nearby. If you're looking for great beer, wine, friendly people, and a welcoming neighborhood hangout, it's hard to beat.

They made a gift card donation to California Bully Rescue that I had reached out to them as a request for an auction. Most establishments ignored my outreach and I was really grateful for their contribution and acknowledgement. We will definitely be back.

As someone that used to work in the same shopping center as Eureka, I always noticed how big of a…read morecrowd they attract! This past weekend I got a chance to try it with my boyfriend, who's already had it once before. We decided to go in around 8pm on a Saturday. We attempted to call beforehand to check in with how busy the restaurant was as we were both starving and wanted food asap! We weren't able to get past their automated answer choices, so we decided to take a risk and go in. Upon arrival, it was a joy to see that there was not many people eating as well as no waitlist to be seated. We got seated immediately by what seems to be the restaurant manager. He was nice and made us feel welcome. Our server for the night whom I forgot the name of, was sweet and responsive to our needs as well! We were pleasantly surprised by how empty the restaurant was. We both ordered burgers, which my bf had recommended to me based on the one other time he came. Our food came out so quickly, I would say just around 10 minutes! I got their "Eureka! American" with cheddar cheese rather than swiss. Oh my gosh, it was one of the best burgers I've had! It was perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. My bf got the Bacon Jalapeño Jam Burger which he liked, but said the bread was almost too sweet for his liking. It's also worth noting that their bathrooms were super clean and taken care of, which is usually not the case at these type of restaurants. I can't wait to come back and try their truffle fries next! I definitely wish I tried them that night but it just gives me an excuse to come back!

We originally discovered Hop Grenade when we moved to the neighborhood. As craft beer lovers,…read morefinding a spot within walking distance felt like hitting the jackpot. What started as a convenient local hangout has become one of our favorite places over the last three years. Hop Grenade has truly become a second home. The staff are always welcoming, friendly, and genuinely care about their customers. We love seeing familiar faces and catching up with the regulars. It has such a great community feel that can be hard to find these days. The beer selection is hands down one of the best around, and the prices are hard to beat. I also love that they've expanded their offerings to include wine and wine-based cocktails, which means there's something for everyone. The food is great too! We always look forward to Wing Wednesday, and the flatbreads are one of our go-to orders. One of our favorite things about Hop Grenade is bringing friends and family here when they're visiting from out of town. We recently took some wedding guests to the Thursday night music and market event, and they absolutely loved it. One of them even joked that he was ready to move here after experiencing the atmosphere. That's the kind of place Hop Grenade is...it makes people feel welcome and part of the community right away. Because Hop Grenade has been such a big part of our lives, booking the Tap Bus for our wedding was a no-brainer. It felt special to incorporate something so personal to us into our big day. For those who don't know, Hop Grenade has an awesome vintage VW bus outfitted with taps. Not only did it make for a unique and fun focal point at our wedding, but it also served some of the best beer, cider, seltzer, and wine our guests could ask for. We received so many compliments throughout the night about both the Tap Bus and the drink selection. Justin and his team were fantastic to work with from start to finish and helped make our wedding even more memorable. Whether you're stopping by for a drink, grabbing some food, attending one of their community events, or looking for a unique beverage service for an event, Hop Grenade delivers every time. We're lucky to have them in our community and can't recommend them enough.

I guess I need to put my review in since this gem I was trying to keep to myself has done nothing…read morebut have me crave their menu weekly lol. I'm afraid of sharing their specials that the place will start getting so packed where we can't get a table anymore lol but here it goes. I have came to the Hop Grenade for years and they have never disappointed. Their beers are delicious and always have a great menu to choose from. They have clean accessible bathrooms and parking is hit and miss since it is in the middle of downtown. They do allow dogs but only outside not inside. So they have their wing special on Wednesday's which is the big secret I didn't want to share. One because their wings are the best wings I've ever had. On top of that their flatbread pizza is amazing as well. Like they make their own dough or something. But this is the brewery to hit up if you want some delicious food and great beer. Put it this way, for me the wings and pizza are that good where I order take out lol. Oh ya and their service is top notch.
