Great location and friendly staff with great chef's. Very open and good background music. Lots of board games to use while there. They also have some options for non alcoholic beers and sodas. Pinball machines upstairs. Family friendly place. read more

Friendly staff, they card everyone that shows up no matter how old you are. The selection of beers is definitely one that craft beer fans would enjoy. Very open concept with music playing. Seemed like a place you could spend a good chunk of the day as they also had boardgames and cards available. I will say the food was also decent. The tomato soup and grilled cheese were by far the favorite. Not in Seaside often but could be a good stop to get a change of pace after the wine in Carmel. read more

Definitely a niche restaurant for beer lovers, but I had 2 hours to spare on an early Saturday afternoon. While my car was in the shop, I wandered around Obama Way because the redevelopment has been amazing. Other Brother is one of the high points in this neighborhood & offers a nice anchor to the smaller storefronts. Seating is designed for groups with large booths or cafeteria-style tables. There's an al fresco option and garage door-style window seating indoors where one can watch the al fresco diners! Overall, fun concept; but not really a friendly place for one person who wants good food, quiet space, and room to read a book. Order before sitting. Menu is small & offers pub-style dining options with a gourmet CA twist. **Special Note: cooking oil is RICE BRAN & it's delicious, so order the tater tots & be prepared to toss out your epi-pen while having your taste buds delighted! The oil must be light, so the tots were crispy with a sweetness that highlighted the potato flavor. OMG... I'm drooling as a write this review & craving more of the rice bran cooking oil tater tots! I had the BLT without mayo (just in case it contained my allergen). The bread, giant butter lettuce leaf, & thick hunks of tomato ensured the the sandwich was moist. The bacon was quite thick & delicious. I don't drink beer, but when in Rome... I ordered the baby beer glassful of beer. Dunno what it was -- something that looked like water & had a few earthy tasting bubbles. It was good. Really good. Great suggestion, Bartender! I had to pick up my meal from the window & was treated to a serenade by the kitchen crew. Lovely. From a health & safety perspective, the design is neat & super clean. Ladies!! Special treat in the bathroom... Other Brother management recognizes our special hygiene needs & offers a basket filled with supplies. OMG! This was better than dessert!! Other Brother loves us. Parking: street parking at no charge, but busy times might mean you have a short walk. The 'hood is nice & very clean. BRING YOUR ID. It's a BEER joint. Don't blame the restaurant staff for doing their job & carding everyone. read more

Delicious food! They have free pads and tampons in the bathroom! That was surprising and much needed.

By chance, my wife and I found ourselves in the neighborhood and on the hunt for a quick lunch and a sandwich. We stopped by Other Brother Beer in Seaside. We ordered the mushroom melt, and it did not disappoint. The food was hearty, well executed and really flavorful. On top of that, the service was excellent and the atmosphere was perfectly relaxing. We will definitely be back. Highly recommended! read more

I love beer, and I also love Other Brother beer. BUT, after trying one of their sours and deciding to take the hour long drive to get to their brewery in Seaside, my wife was denied being served anything with alcohol because she didn't have her ID on her (she's 50!). We offered a picture of the ID that I had on my phone and we're still offered only non-alcoholic drinks. The server who delivered this news, and could not be swaded, only offered "consistency" as an excuse. I have mad respect for workers in the food industry, BUT (once again) it's not like my wife was 23 and I myself am 55. I assume this issue became so important to them because THEY served minors in the past. We are clearly not minors and drove a long way to support the local craft beer scene. We will NEVER come back. Drive another 4 miles and you can go to Alvarado Street brewing in Monterey. They are consistently awesome and know discretion. read more

Happened to drive by this place on Friday and made a point to seek it out for dinner on Saturday. Positives Friendly and helpful staff Large drinks menu on board IDs required Order food and pick up at window when it's ready. The Jalapeño salad was crunchy, spicy and delicious The hummus plate was amazing! Some of the best hummus I've ever had Outdoor bench seating, indoor communal bar-type table by window, and shared tables provided lots of seating options. Upstairs seating was booked for a speed dating event. Negatives It was loud. Possibly due to the speed dating event on the space above. The outdoor seating area and entire block smell like urine. The town needs to do a better job of keeping public areas clean. Bottom line: great beer, great food, fun atmosphere. I'd definitely go back. read more

Santa Cruz vibes in Seaside! The staff are cool and so friendly. They have so many different beers on tap (which your welcome to sample in little shot glasses) and also some available in cans to go in the cooler. I tried their Rice Water, it's a lighter beer, I really liked it and would get it again. I also really like their Pilsners. Love the open air design of the restaurant and patio outside front. Also love that they provide a big selection of games for families to play and hangout with their kids. Their food is really good too. The OG Smash burger was delicious. I love batter fried onions rings and theirs are very good and a big portion too. Although I wish they would offer malt vinegar for the onion rings. I normally don't like waffle fries but these are good, a thicker cut so they're soft in the middle and not super crunchy. We really liked the wings too, not your traditional buffalo wings but I like their spin on it with a dry rub. Upstairs a couple of 50 cent pinball machines and 2 large tables, enough room for a pool table please. We came back for pizza night we got the pepperoni. It was good with a thick pan crust and lot's of cup pepperoni. And they have kombucha on tap, nice. I really appreciate that they provide essentials for the ladies in their bathroom. read more

Whenever I'm in the area I always make a point to stop in for a beer and some tasty bites. I'm a big sour beer fan and they always have a reliable one on tap. I like that they have board and card games too. Big open space that is great for groups. Service is always friendly. Wish I lived closer!! read more

Our team was in town for work. We arrived for beer and some bar/pub-like food.... Very open, spacious with very high ceilings. Not very busy when we arrived (1700 hours). The beer that was recommended was very good! I ordered the fries, and salad; my friend ordered the corn beef sandwich. Unfortunately, the fries were heavily saturated in cheese; we could not see what the other toppings were. The salad was ok.... The corn beef was not very good.... Our other members ordered food as well. Unfortunately for one our members the food was not palatable so he returned it; staff made good on the bad experience by reimbursing him the money which was a very nice touch. There are no TVs to watch sports on...? We don't see ourselves returning. read more

Pretty standard local brewery experience. Good eats, decent beer selection, big open seating options, and trivia nights. Food was decent, burgers and stuff. I got the smash burger and it was filling. They take an interesting take on the cheese fries, but they were pretty good. Location wasn't bad, plenty of seating although I could see if getting crowded quickly. Staff was nice, provided good recommendations. read more

The food really lacks here, hamburgers lack seasoning while the meat portions are not worth the price! The fries are good especially with the sauce however everything seemed cold! The bartenders are very nice and helped me decide on a drink though! The place itself is friendly and open! However, the food is not worth the price tag; only if you enjoy fries. read more

Had to come here for a work function. We had a good time. Upstairs was wide open so we moved everyone up there. The beer is good no issues. The food is very basic - and a good thing because they focus on the beer. It's just a few hold over items. They have an assortment of games you can play while there - that's cool. When you need to reorder you have to go back up to the counter but it usually is open with no wait or one person in line. No real interaction with most of the staff other than the cashier/beertender. They seemed to know about the beers they have and are able to guess what you might like. Try clean and well lighted. Parking is in the street or across the street in the parking lot by BWW. Great place for a get together over beers with a group. It's definitely more of a community atmosphere. read more

Nice spot, good food. Parking is the only potentially tricky issue where you park a few blocks away in the public parking lot. Wait staff was extremely nice with nice spacious interior, good vibe music and a small patio seating area. Also does private events. They have events posted on instagram. I will be returning. Good times. read more

I loved this place. Great beers, something for just about everyone. I enjoyed my lager very much. Food looked amazing going by. We'd eaten so we didn't order but it looked fantastic. Service was friendly and fast. Casual ambiance. Mostly picnic table seating with a few booths. read more

I forgot to take a photo of the food, but I had a smash burger with cheese and waffle fries. The burger was really good. Slightly juicy. Almost too much but actually good. Grilled onions, sauce on a brioche bun. The veggies were fresh. Lettuce c sliced tomatoes and pickles. Service super friendly. Beer garden vibes for sure. They have a few cider choices and even slushies. Non alcoholic drinks for the kiddos if you have children with you. The beers were good too. Nothing crazy outstanding but yummy. Keep an eye on the ABV, no need to have a headache tomorrow. Impressed with the growth. Worth a visit. SYOY. read more

The beer is pretty good here. The food since the bakery moved out has definitely changed. It is delicious (bakery was too) and they have have an increased variety now. The beer tenders are all nice and pleasant. You NEED your id to buy beer so be aware and prepared for that. The 1 ding I have on the place is it's just so loud in here even if it's just background music playing. If they installed some sound baffling it would improve the experience so much. read more

Great place, great food, great beer. Found a booth before trivia night started and hung out for a few hours. Pretty chill. Parking wasn't the best but that's typical of the area. read more

Other Brother Beer is a great spot to grab a beer and a meal on Broadway. Parking is on the street but usually easy to find. There are about 6 picnic bench tables outside in a covered awning, indoor booths, indoor tables, and indoor counter stools facing the street. There is also seating upstairs. Volume is pretty loud inside and out when busy, but not too crazy to bring my kids earlier in the day. I haven't been to the night events (Tuesday trivia, Wednesday Bingo, etc.) but my husband says they are fun, just louder and more crowded as you would expect. They offer a kids freezie drink in addition to two adult freezies that change out. The beers are also seasonal, so if you like something on tap you should grab some tall cans before they are gone. Food has changed quite a bit since they opened but their kitchen makes tasty options when available. Pop ups often happen with outside food, but waits are often pretty long for those events, so just be ready to spend a long visit just in case (the recent ramen pop up ended up taking 2 hours to order and receive food for example). Staff is friendly and quick, and inside is very clean. I don't think the picnic tables get cleaned outside though. Overall a great local spot for beer and bar food! read more

My husband and I stopped in here for lunch. We were greeted by a lovely young woman at the front taps area. After listening to what our interest was in beers, she gave us each a couple of tasters, my husband their IPA's and myself a couple of Hazy's. I loved the League Night, and he opted for Drift, a collab with Hobo Brewing. We also ordered food. I had the delightful Spicy Capicola Sandwich, and he went big with Vinnie's Double Smash Cheeseburger. We finished every bite, full but happy. My husband raved about how good and juicy the burger was. We enjoyed it so much we went back the next night for dinner with my daughter and her family, I knew she'd love the Capicola. They agreed, vey tasty food, good beer, and adult and kid slushies. Upstairs the kids could be their typical 2 & 4 yo selves. Staff are friendly and welcoming. read more

OMG Y'all a delightful Smashburger has finally made it to our area. It goes without saying that our food scene is a little bit behind and hard to find good quality food. They have truly outdone their self with the Smashburger and the brioche buns. The pickles are the best and the waffle fries are great as well. The chicken sandwich was huge and little overcooked with the breading just too crunchy to eat. I think if they made the pieces of chicken smaller than they wouldn't cook it as long. We also had the dry rubbed wings which were great. I believe that they are smoked and they had a great nice hint of smokiness and the rub is flavorful just needs a little bit of salt. The atmosphere is so nice and the vibes are great. They even have a pinball machine as well as games for the family to play. The service is great and the employees are super nice and friendly. overall just a great place. I definitely will be back for that burger! read more

I was on the hunt for a pint on my drive up the coast, and was very happy to have found this place. Other Brother Beer is in a cool building right on the main drag in Seaside, and I love the bright, casual, retro sort of look and vibe they got going on. There is plenty of seating, including an upstairs area with some pinball machines, and two pet-friendly outdoor seating areas. The beer selection was great, covering most of the basics, and I took the opportunity to have a flight and some pints. The Strata Smash was a hoppy pale ale I quite liked. The 4th Anniversary, a double west coast IPA, is very delicious. And the Del Monte Express, a hazy double IPA, was a pleasant surprise, as it tasted much more like a west coast than a hazy. Definitely recommend it. The Sunbelt, a rye IPA has excellent flavor with a bit of a bite to it. But by far my favorite beer was the Ray Gun, a west coast IPA that was simply outstanding! Lots of their beer is available to-go in cans, should you want some for the road. If you happen to not be in the mood for beer, they do serve wine, as well as boozy frozen slushies made from their kettle sour. Food is available, mostly assorted appetizers, salads, and sandwiches. Although all I had on this day was an order of fries, I will make sure to snag some lunch next visit. They also have a bunch of cool merch for sale, ranging from standard stickers, t-shirts, and hats, to bottles of wine and olive oil from local producers. Prices are pretty typical, about $8 per pint and starting around $14 for most food entrees. Service here was great, with the crew being exceptionally friendly and helpful. Only real downside I found was the parking situation, with most available spaces being curbside spots scattered around the block, but this was a fairly minor gripe. All in all, Other Brother is an awesome brew stop that's left a great impression, and I will certainly be looking forward to stopping by again when next I'm cruising the coast. Cheers, all! read more

A nice well-lit space with lots of pours and pinball machines up on the 2nd floor. The miss is that the non-alcoholic beer was not the best - super light and watery. I also ended up getting the smash burger and the chicken wings. The wings come with a salty and slightly spicy rub which was a unique experience. The smash burger was solid but I actually think about the wings more. Overall it was an okay spot in Seaside, good for a quick meal before hitting up other destinations in the area. read more

Sweet! Checks all the right boxes. Wide open spaces, friendly staff, well prepared food and a good selection of cold beers. I've been wanting to visit this place for a while but never had the time to properly do it. Well today was my time to enjoy a delicious double smash burger and a good beer. Both well crafted. My wife's mushroom sandwich thing was delicious as well. A lot of room to move around and an upstairs with a couple of pinball machines and more tables. Large windows for natural light and some tables outside with awnings for some extra fresh air. Service was quick and polite. So as beer pubs go, it's a relaxing chill more so I say than " Alvarado Street", where I'm feeling rushed a bit. Last words...I'm thirsty. read more

Interior is so run down compared to front door/outdoor curb seating. Burgers are pure grease. Guess if booze is your main focus it would be a good place to patronize. We were disappointed because it is close by and looked primo from the outside. Won't be back. read more

Went to other brother beer after the Monterey Spartan run & the drinks were so refreshing! The service was great & i appreciated his recommendations. My friend & I both got the same thing, the loaded waffle fries. So so good! We did ask for hot sauce, which I think took the food up a notch! There was a good amount of seating outside with sun/shade and there was big open windows to allow for fresh air into the indoor area. There were also games available to use. read more

As the owner of Central Coast Party Helpers, I had the privilege of coordinating a wedding reception at Other Brother Beer. I was thrilled from the beginning to the end with the communication from Chloe right away, as well as when I arrived early that day to check out the venue before my couple arrived. They were welcoming, smiling, ready to serve me, and were equally excited for my couple and their family arriving later that evening. They put a "Private Event" sign out for walk-in guests, so my party was taken care of. They were on top of everything from setting out the well-presented and delicious food to the champagne toast to the cake cutting, and finally the send-off. They were very cooperative with every request I had. I even bought a shirt for a delightful memory as well as a 6 pack for the other couple I was seeing later that weekend, so they know we can have Other Brother Beer at their wedding at the Other Brother Ranch . . . (a cute coincidence). read more
