Can't miss this place, there's a giant parrot on the front side of the building. They have a large parking lot. Inside is a small stage, round cocktail tables, and games. You get an appetizer for every beer purchased. This is nice, like a sample of what their appetizers are before ordering more. The options were chicken wings and calamari; two pieces. Their menu also offer nachos, sandwiches, burritos, tacos, burgers, tenders and fries. Plenty More and Pink Guava were my favorite. We got to try their current offers and one more that is still brewing. Nice staff and clean tables.

Great place for a nice cold one and games too! They have pinball, video games, shuffleboard, billiards, and my favorite basketball . I kicked some butt of course! Lol....and Tuesday night is trivia night. We had a blast! The bathrooms aren't the best, the soap dispenser didn't work so I'm not ever eating there but for games and beer, YES we will be back.

Event Calendar

What a great find in Modesto. We were traveling through the area & had a chance to stop in during the week. Location: The location is pretty cool. They have their own parking lot with plenty of parking & a large warehouse venue that appears to host different events. It was clean & well organized. The bathroom was clean & well stocked. Beer: They had about 13 different beers on tap, all proprietary brews. We normally stick with IPAs but did try a very nice stout based on the recommendation of one of the regulars. The IPAs were a perfect blend of crisp & hoppy. They had cans to go as well. Customer Service: We had an opportunity to meet the brewmaster, Jonas. He couldn't have been more friendly & welcoming. When we asked for a can label to take home as a souvenir, he enthusiastically gave us 5 different labels to take with us. Food: There was a sign outside that said we could get a free appetizer with the purchase of a pint. Sure enough, we ended up with 2 very tasty street tacos from the food vendor. I highly recommend coming in & supporting your local brewery. Look for the parrot mural on the side of the building-- hard to miss!

Calamari appetizer $16!!!!

Ordered asada nachos, calamari, and a hamburger. When we ordered, we were told they weren't making anymore sandwiches or burgers but it was not even 6:30pm. Our food took over an hour to receive. The calamari was terrible and not with the money. The only saving grace was the asada fries and nice bartenders. If they're playing live music and expecting a crowd, they need to have adequate staff to be efficient.

Pretzel bites with cheese
Joshua B.

I visited Persuasion Brewing for the first time in late June 2024. The place is enormous inside. We were promptly greeted and helped by the staff. We ordered beers and then food. I got the spicy BBQ burger and my buddy ordered the Tri-tip sandwich. The burger sounded really good, but I'd say it was a little disappointing. It was simple and a bit small for the price. It did taste good though. I also got a side of the pretzel bites. They tasted a bit overcooked but we ate them and the cheese sauce was a great pair. I'd like to see a beer cheese option (maybe even made with Persuasion beer?) and or an ale mustard option. This would take the pretzels up a notch! My buddy ordered the buffalo cheese curds and these were legit amazing, don't skip on these! So good. The beer was great. All in all, great experience and great place! Looking forward to coming back and trying more!

Brown boys burgers menu out front

I was looking for some beer to pick up and this place came up on Yelp . This place is huge !! In the front near the parking lot they have food trucks with so many different kinds of food . I got the pleasure to meet Brown Boy Burgers outside he was definitely doing his thing . He was so friendly too ! Walking in inside they had a live band playing . They had pool tables, arcade games and so much more. So they brew their own beer which is on tap but they also have large coolers with so many beers to go from other breweries that you could purchase. A lot of options to choose from. Inside they also have another area where they sell food. I had a question and David was very helpful and nice thanks David ! Overall, this is a great place to have a great time with so many entertainment inside . They also have a lot of options if you're a beer lover. I highly recommend this place fun times !

This is an update to my first review over 2 years ago. We had to come and check out the Cousins Maine Lobster food truck w/all the rave reviews. And.. I've been jonesing for a proper lobster roll since I visited Boston. loved my lobster roll... but it needed to be twice the size. lol. It looked bigger in pics online. That's why I put my fork in photo for you:) The "new" Persuasion is not my cup of tea let's say. The crowd seemed a tad different than last time I was there. Grocery store is gone and it's one big open cold room. Band was good but they had a lot of microphone/sound system issues tonite. games, pool table, foos ball, TV's.. band. The beer tender was very nice. Im not sure I'll be back.

Club Sandwich
Cory N.

Cool place, been there twice now. The club sandwich is fantastic! Stacked high with plenty of meat. Then came back later for beers with friends. Make sure you buy a bag of chips and the fresh salsa! #spicemeister approved!

Bar area

Place is pretty awesome. We were on our way to see Natalie Merchant in San Fran but she postponed. So we made a stop here in Modesto. Good menu option, cans to go, snacks and non alcoholic beverages, along with a sandwich stop featuring Boars Head Brand!! Didn't get to grab a Sammie this time around but they look delicious. Beer-tenders were very nice! They also have pool tables and arcade games to keep you partying all night long! All in all it was a great stop!

Beer flavor profiles are good, but beer is not cold enough. It's supposed to be ice-cold beer.

Love the choices they have on tap. I do wish the store carried all the beers that are on tap so you could purchase what you drank.

I recommend everything here. I believe Bauers really upped the Modesto food game game when it…read moreopened 15+ years ago. Yes. It's a little hole in the wall and unassuming but the food is always a knockout and you will leave happy. The lamb burger is bomb, pork sando never disappoints , and the Brussels are so good my husbands who claims he hates Brussels devoured my order. The quality of ingredients are really top notch

Had an overnight work trip that had me in Modesto so I was trying to find something fun to eat…read more After a bit of research I found this place. I showed up around 7pm and I thought it might have been closed because no one was here. But they were open. I ordered a Bauer burger with the house seasoned fries. They asked how I'd like the egg cooked and the burger cooked: I asked for medium for both. Given how dead the place was, it did take a minute to get my food. The burger was ok, not worth $21. The bun fell apart very quickly which is a bit of a cardinal sin in the burger game. The bacon on the burger was not bacon strips but a bit of bacon crumble. The patty was a bit overcooked so it was dry and it wasn't seasoned so it was bland. The egg was cooked perfectly, but the aioli and the egg yolk with a disintegrated bun made for a huge mess. The fries were interesting. The house seasoned fries are not salted. So the fries were almost sweet due to the spices, but no salt. And they do not have regular table ketchup or malt vinegar. I did ask for some ketchup and they brought me their house ketchup. While not like a classic ketchup, it was actually quite good. Oh, be aware. They will charge you a 4% fee when they bring you the check (what would have happened if I'd paid with cash?). I do not see anywhere on the menu where they say their is a payment fee so that is a pretty shady business practice. Overall: meh. I think for the price point the burger should have been great, but sadly I can't say it was great or even good. I'd likely not return.
