Something for everyone without overthinking it. - The Food Situation BYOF (bring your own food) or DoorDash straight to your table - totally encouraged.

Freewheel Brewing is somewhat of local craft brew chain. Their original is on an edge of Redwood…read moreCity and that one is a brewpub, meaning there is a restaurant attached to a microbrewery. Now they have 2 other tap rooms, so no restaurant at those, just beer taps and maybe some cold snacks to munch on. This one in Fremont and another in San Rafael are both just taprooms. The Fremont one is in an industrial/business park so it looks like a storage unit with roll up doors. It took over another brewery Das Brew within the last couple of years. They did rearrange the space and decorated it to their specs. I do like the new look, it's clean and cohesive. I've seen about 8-10 taps being poured, all their own. Not sure how they are trying to be known now, but when I first visited their original location almost a decade ago, their beer model was to come close to English ales. These are more malty and not as heavily hopped/bitter as American craft brews. And this was in a time when Americans were going crazy for IPA types. So a bold move I thought imo. Traditional English ales also aren't as carbonated as American beers and usually served not as cold. I've actually come to respect those traits as I can taste more of the flavors when it isn't so icy cold. I've only tried 3 brews so far and in what I've experienced they are still a lot closer to that English mode of brews than American styles. Amber ($9/4*) Malty and soft, very English in taste and sensabilities. Surprisingly balanced, the more sips I took, the more I noticed it. Noticeable roasty malt notes blurring it with a brown ale. Kolsch (3.5*) This is a light German Ale. Meant for refreshment on warm days, much like a light lager. This was just a standard light beer to me, similar to golden and/or blonde ales. Nothing was wowing me, nor makes me crave it. But it is clean and drinkable. Goes good with the Mexican food from the food stand outside or bring in your own pizza. Guns of Brixton IPA (3.5*) This is a west coast style IPA so supposed to be pretty hoppy and dank. It is indeed hoppy and bitter but much lighter than most other west coast IPAs out there. Again it took about half a glass for me to appreciate this more. Even though not in-your-face boldness, after a glass or 2, you'll know you're drinking an IPA. And love their Clash references to some of their brew names, again very English and makes me feel like I'm in on a joke/secret. Lol Rounding up.

Overall, we stuck to the happy hour menu which had a few options including 4 cocktails ($11) and there were a few snack options at $6. I believe they had some deals on beer/wine but Im more into cocktails so I didnt pay too much attention to those offerings! The drinks (sangria, margarita, and delayed orgasm) were all delicious as were the snacks (naan bites & fries). While we didn't stray from the happy hour menu, Mortar & Pestle is connected to the Curry Up Now so they have a a huge menu to select from if youre feeling hungry. We did notice that the service was a little slow and it took a while to get a drink. We also felt slightly rushed by the staff. It almost felt like they wanted us to order more or leave.

This place is expensive -- the 20% service fee really adds to the price. I feel like they should…read morejust include the service fee into the base price instead of tacking it on as extra. In my experience, the service they provide is just leading you to your room and handing you the tablet and mics, which all karaoke places have to do anyway... A review mentioned that they will give you a 5-minute reminder before your time is up, but that has not happened for me. The rooms are clean and the decor inside the rooms and throughout the whole lounge is definitely impressive. It's a good place to have a party and take photos, and maybe you're OK with paying a premium for the optics. There seems to be a lot of parties held here on the weekends. The karaoke system works well. They offer YouTube on a handheld tablet, and you can queue songs. This is the best karaoke setup in my opinion because (1) you can stay seated and don't have to walk over to a wall-mounted screen like at other places; (2) having YouTube means the song selection isn't limited to what the system has, and you can sing whatever language/genre you want; (3) the UI is super easy as we are all familiar with YouTube. I'm not a fan of spending precious time figuring out how to use a karaoke system and sometimes they can be confusing, so YouTube is the way to go here (assuming it lets you queue songs, and you can do that here). Overall I find the price a little excessive, but you can definitely have a good experience here.
