Livermore is somewhat out of my neck of the woods, so this visit was long overdue knowing that…read moreAltamont is one of the better-known breweries in NorCal. That especially goes for their hoppy beers, which happen to be my favorite. Altamont is located in a semi-industrial section of Livermore, with many wine tasting rooms and other breweries in the vicinity. The space is a large warehouse with bar taking the central space and a ot of seating spread out. They have multiple TVs and a projector that were all showing NFL football. It was Sunday after all. Throughout the years, I've had many of the Altamont beers, but it's always best to try them out from the source-in their freshest form. I can happily report that despite the changing trends in craft beer industry and declining revenue overall; Altamont is still one of the better breweries in the area. From 10 beers we sampled, not one was something I wouldn't order a full pour of. Obviously, West Coast IPA is what they do best, but even the Oktoberfest and nitro stout weren't bad. The service was quick, and I'll definitely be back when in the area next time. Helpful tip: either get a meal before coming out, or check that there is a food truck scheduled, as Altamont has no kitchen. I didn't notice any restaurants in the walking distance either...

Here at TAP 25 and SMASHED BROZ BURGERS are here. Just my opinion but I will never buy a burger…read morefrom them again. All their photos on their IG page are deceiving and not what you will get. I was excited to grab a burger but extremely shocked to see what I was given (should have taken a photo ) Every item is sold separately such as lettuce, tomatoes and pickles. The burger is put together just like a McDonalds kid's cheese burger with two pickles a slap of the single wrapped fake cheese and seriously same size. $22 for a burger, fries and water. BUYER BEWARE! TAP 25 is AMAZING but get rid of SMASHED BROZ BURGERS guys!

Needed a nice meal on a patio with a beer after a long hike, and this is where we ended up. It…read morechecked every box. The inside and patio are both casual and open, similar to a brewery, and they have a self-serve tap wall, which is awesome. First time using one, and despite the self-service setup and ordering at the counter, the service we did get was great. Wait time for food wasn't long at all. I ordered the Sessions Burger, and it was lowkey one of the best burger's I've had in a while. I love blue cheese on a burger, and the caramelized onions had a deep, rich flavor. I also liked that it wasn't obnoxiously large for no reason. The fries were perfect, and the ranch was excellent. Honestly, ranch is a good way to judge a place like this, and theirs was rich and smooth. Also really enjoyed the beer I chose. Pouring it yourself is a fun experience, I could spend all day trying different beers. Great spot. Would definitely come back if I'm ever in town again. And no, it's not just the post-hike hunger talking, this place is serving seriously good food.

There's self serve beer on tap that you pay per ounce using a card they give you. Looked like a wide selection from IPAs to stouts. They also had a fun cocktail menu and plenty of food options from tacos to burgers. The hostess was really kind to explain to us how their restaurant works in terms of the self serve beer as you pay at that front beforehand. Whereas, food items and cocktail drinks are ordered at the back left corner. We ordered the "Such a Gemini" and "Paper cut". Both were more on the sweeter side and you couldn't taste the alcohol at all. Quite dangerous really. The "Such a Gemini" was a hibiscus agave drink. The "Paper cut" was more of a fruity mix with the elderflower and lemon mixed in the whiskey, which I was a HUGE fan of. Gorgeous presentation as well! As for the food, we got the Sessions burger (cheeseburger) and cod tacos both with truffle fries. And maaan. Cod tacos were cooked well and super fresh. Big fan of that red salsa on the side. The Sessions burger was juicy and not dry, but I really enjoyed how it served on a pillowy pretzel bun! Would love to bring my family and friends here! I'd recommend this place if you need a space to hangout at.

Their selection of craft beers is extensive--there's something for everyone, from fruity IPAs to rich stouts. I ordered their burger, and it did not disappoint! Juicy and flavorful, paired with crispy fries. The service was attentive and friendly, which added to the overall experience. One minor downside was the noise level during peak hours, but it's to be expected in a lively pub. Overall, First Street Ale House is a must-visit for anyone in the area. Great drinks, delicious food, and a vibrant atmosphere--what more could you ask for?

It saddens me to have to leave a bad review, since I frequent this place quite often... but the…read morequality of their to-go orders has gotten so bad. In-house we haven't had much issue, but I don't know what's going on with door dash/delivery orders. Almost every time, there's an issue. My littles absolutely love the mini corn dogs, and even though the listing says "with fries" they've suddenly stopped delivering with fries for the past few months ( and don't allow customer notes.) It's also a 50/50 chance the mini corn dogs will be dark and hard... I have a sensitive stomach with dietary restrictions, so I find great comfort that I can get the seared ahi tuna tacos while my husband enjoys a hamburger... but the last few orders have been so wrong. Once I was missing avocado, next I was missing the sauce, and this time my tuna was completely raw, not seared with hard jasmine rice and very tiny avocado slices. I always put input in to DoorDash, but I don't think it's getting to the restaurant... and it's reached a point where I feel like I have to leave this review and maybe find a new go to for quick family dinners. I enjoy visiting, the staff is always so kind and the kids like the back patio. Perfect vibe for a laid back dinner.. but why are the to-go orders so terrible suddenly? Absolutely heartbreaking.

The service was excellent and it was a fun experience all around. The ONLY reason I didn't give five stars was due to a family with two young boys who were running onto the bocce courts stealing pallinos. Their parents couldn't care less and did nothing to stop them. The staff really should have kicked them out or, at the least, reprimand both the children and their entitled parents. Luckily they ended up going inside and using a simulator.

Not everyone can be a fan of italian food but the menu here is divese enough that guests will still enjoy the flavors they choose. What helps is that this food does not come out skimpy at alk, they hook up their portions...at least our orders were a nice amount at the time.

We started with the Crispy Cauliflower, coated with tempura batter and served with lemon aioli; Roasted Brussels Sprouts, topped with chili flakes & Parmesan and served in a cast iron skillet; and the Hummus, topped with Pepitas and served with thin, crispy parm'd pizza bread. The Chopped Kale Salad came with apple, radish, carrot, cotija, and Pepitas, all tossed in a tangy pomegranate vinaigrette; and the Chickpea Salad also had a base of kale topped with chickpeas, roasted sweet potato/carrot, and charred halloumi, and dressed with herbed pesto. The highlight of the menu was their creative pizzas, which you could order either on a thin, crispy Neapolitan crust, or on a thick, soft, square-shaped Detroit-style base with crispy baked cheese edges. The Fun Guy came with porcini cream, mushroom, onion, goat cheese, and pecorino; and the Hail Mary came with beer braised chicken, caramelized onion, cotija, garlic, and Calabrian chili oil, which gave the pizza a flavorful spicy kick. Overall, my favorite items were the Hummus with aromatic pizza bread; and the tantalizingly spicy Detroit-style Hail Mary, but everything was tasty and came at a good value and with quick service too!
