Had my 30th here on Sunday the 12th and it was perfect. Strike Brewing has a clean, warehouse vibe with two big TVs (perfect for the 49ers game that day), pinball, air hockey, and other games board games. The team was super responsive over phone and Instagram. Martin was our bartended day-of, friendly and attentive, and Ellia closed us out smoothly, she was great! They handled our ~35-person group with ease, let us bring potluck dishes and NA drinks, use their fridge for cake/food, and even let us set up our personal cornhole outside. There was a BBQ pop-up out front in the afternoon, and the beer list had something for everyone - both the space and bathrooms were spotless. Family-friendly, flexible, and fun, exactly what you want for a casual celebration. Big thanks to the Strike team for making my day a great one!! read more

I was in San Jose this weekend. I needed some craft beers around the area so when I yelped searched this place showed up. I decided to call just to make sure they had hazy cans to go. The staff on the line was very friendly and said to please go by. They had multiple options to choose from. Since they were so nice on the phone, I decided to give them a try. The inside looks like a warehouse it is very nicely decorated with lights on the ceilings and some games for entertainment. I had never been here before I just wanted to pick up some hazy can beers to go. I asked John for some samples of their hazy before I purchase.anything. John was very helpful by guiding me on what beer I should get. He was super friendly and attentive. After sampling a few beers, I decided to go with Poolside Hazy cans to go. Overall I really enjoyed the beer it was very delicious . The staff was super nice here . I would definitely be coming back to hang at the brewery next time or just to grab more beers to go . read more

If it's your first time, follow your GPS and drive all the way down the drive way until you see their sign. The taproom is located in their warehouse. Appreciate that they continue to have great prices over the years and they serve something for every type of beer drinker. They have rotating food trucks that set up shop outside. Their staff is awesome. Super friendly. It's been a few years since my last visit and they've definitely upgraded their indoor seating area. Still one of my favorites! read more

Brew the Right Thing Believe it or not, as little as just five years ago, the Spartan-Keyes neighborhood used to be quite the hub for craft brewing and even housed a distillery, 10th St Distillery, that's now moved further north near J-Town on N 4th St. Along with Strike there used to be Clandestine (RiP), Santa Clara Valley Brewing (RiP), and Hermitage (RiP). Santa Clara Valley Brewing got replaced by Narrative Fermentations but Strike has hung in there for nearly twenty years (ca. 2008). The Good: *Stopped in here recently with the boiz from werk and love that the ambiance and vibe hasn't changed much in the time they've been around. It has been a few years since I've visited and they've definitely upgraded the seating and lighting, but it's great that it's still in the heart of the brewery. *Bartender was friendly *Rewards program *Prices are really good, as they should be when you're getting it straight from the source. *Great selection of something for everyone, as they have all the usuals from pilsners and IPAs to Stouts. The Meh: *No food served and I'm not sure if food trucks every show up, but I'm pretty sure you're welcome to bring-your-own. The Ugly: *The problem with the location being in the heart of the brewery is it's basically a warehouse and the summers in here can be *brutal*. Conclusion: Great place to stop for a pint or two with the boiz. read more

A great little brewery to spend a couple of pleasant hours. We walked in and the bartender immediately showered us with many samples of the different beers . He was also very knowledgable about each and every type of beer . They brew everything in house and we eventually decided to go with the hard seltzer and their sour , French-inspired beer. Both were really good ! We will likely come back again ! read more

Nice intimate brewery for you needs. Parking is super easy. The plaza is full of multiple businesses but plenty of space. The staff at the brewery are nice and knowledgeable. Went in on a Thursday and it appeared to be semi-slow. Again, think intimate setting. Playlist was superb if you're a millennial indie-alternative fan like myself. Bree selection wasn't overwhelming and had all the best options (light, fruity, hoppy). All in all I will definitely be back. read more

Great brewery. I recommend the San Jose Churro beer can or off tap. Great snacks and vibe is really chill. Service is great and friendly. A highly recommended brewery in San Jose specially after a game down the street from baseball and hockey. read more

Strike Brewing - The serving station plus 2 TVs showing the SF Giants Baseball game and boxing ... Their Taproom board that list all their craft beers - Breweries Near Me - San Jose, California

I went here for their Comedy Night and had such a great time! This place is super hidden--you really have to search or know someone to find it. But if you're looking for a spot that can seat a lot of people, has a chill vibe, and where you can watch a game or enjoy some comedy, then this is definitely the place to go! The service is great, and it has a rustic feel since it's located among warehouses. I love the creativity. The drink selection is great too, even though I don't drink alcohol--they have some sodas, which is cool for non-alcoholics. My only issue is that it can get quite hot in there during the summer, so just keep that in mind. read more

Came by back in Jan'23, on a Sunday afternoon around 3PM to catch up with a friend. Had one of their Hazy's. Literally no one else was there, so it was nice to just have a quiet setting to catch up. They have quite a bit of seating inside. There was some food outside you can order from another vendor. Staff was friendly. Small parking lot available outside. read more

Local brewery in San Jose. I love that they have a variety of food trucks roll through, so there's always something good to eat with your brews. Staff is rad. I dig the vibes. Check it out. read more

Had a great evening with my wife at Strike Brewing Company this evening at about 8pm. We met the very knowledgeable and friendly bar tender to help select from the different craft beers made on site. A wide selection that will definitely satisfy beer aficionados. The Craft beers were great, we saw more and more people come in during the relaxing and fun hour we spent at Strike. We have not visited for a long and are glad to be back. We really appreciate the great new layout of the bar and the high chairs with comfy chair backs. A great place for a fun evening. read more

3 main things. 1. Beer was amazing! I believe I tried almost everything on the menu, and I was not disappointed by anything! 2. Service was fast, pleasant and the beer tenders were very knowledgeable 3. Great for kids! They had some games that the kids could play with while the adults were able to catch up! It was a little dark for my old aging eyes ;) but it fit the food perfectly! read more

Strike Brewing in SJ is kind of hidden, but if you follow the signs throughout the parking lot, you should be good. Plenty of parking available, the lot shared by the warehouse. Lots of beer kegs lining the walls when you enter. And the bar and seating area is bright and spacious. Two TV's and a multitude of mugs decorate the wall behind the bar, part of their mug club program (regulars can get discounts on beer by paying a membership fee). And there is a shelf with board games for guests to play while enjoying their drinks. No food here, except for bags of chips, no regular flavors, all spicy. The place was pretty empty when we visited on a Saturday night, but that made it easy get quick service at the bar, sit wherever we wanted, and hear our own conversations, unlike other places with noise echoing everywhere. But maybe a little too quiet... at least on the night we visited. If you're looking for a more lively venue, this place is definitely not for you. It's way more laid back. And the setting adds to that feel, because it almost feels more like a warehouse than a taproom... industrial equipment and storage items stacked high, right next to the seating. They have a small selection of beers on their menu, and they serve 8oz glasses for half the price, so we opted to try 5 different beers and share. Double IPA, Right on Tenth, Triple Play, Two Seam, Pine Tar Incident. Pretty good beer overall. I expected more from the Triple Play, but the others were actually better. My fave was the Right on Tenth (Narrative Fermentations Collab). At 7.2% ABV, it actually seemed stronger than the 10% ABV Triple Play. The bartender explained that it's not always consistent, so maybe we try again on a different day, and it will be better. The service here is excellent by the way. The bartender allowed us to try samples, was knowledgeable about the beers, and was all smiles while answering our questions and ringing up our orders. Cool spot for some beers and good times with friends. read more

We visited here because it was right around the corner of the hobby store and their craft brew sign caught our eye. We bought 2 4-packs and the beers were pretty good! The cost was around $33 which isn't bad. There is a $1 off your first beer if you check in on Yelp. There are plenty of tables to hang out at and it seems like a very chill local brewery spot. A large parking lot so you don't have to worry about paying for parking like in downtown San Jose. It's located in a very remote warehouse but worth the trip! read more

Bartenders were incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable of the great selection of beers available, and gave lots of samples which I really appreciated and enjoyed. The interior is spacious with lots of seating and is full of cool brewing equipment so you can see the process of how what you're drinking is made! I'd highly recommend for great beer at a good price and a friendly atmosphere. read more

After all of these years, totally thought I had written a review for Strike...but I have not! I'm grateful for Strike being around and have enjoyed their beers. 2 Seam, Dinger, Triple Play...baseball themed! I also like how the taproom usually has a game on the TV too. Very nice low key ambiance too, the taproom isn't large but it does plenty of benches, bar seats, and tall boy tables (and cans for takeout lol). So perfect for a group outing, date, or just a cold drink if you're rolling solo. Other cool things about the brewery? Mug Club! Kid and Dog friendly too. They also have a ton of board games and cards available too. If you have never been...Strike can be easy to miss if you're driving down 10th street but look for the yellow taproom sign and pull right into the back. Parking is clearly marked now and there is a food truck present too. Final Piece of Donovan Life Advice? Perfect pre-game spot for a San Jose Giants game or Costco trip! Lol read more

Really good beer. Ambiance was so so but really good beer. Now just to get 85 characters so this can post

It is time that I write a review for my favorite local San Jose brewery. Super delicious beers and the thing that I love about this brewery is that they always are brewing up something new. There is always a beer to look forward to or a new beer to try. My absolute favorite beer that they make seasonally is Lost in the Sun. A super juicy and crushable hazy double IPA. Also, everyone behind the bar is super nice which makes this place a great brewery to hangout at. PS: Bring back Quick Pitch! read more

Another awesome local brewery in the Silicon Valley! This place is great to catch up with some friends and have some beers. Just a little tip that this place has limited seating on the inside so seating can get filled up pretty quickly. I came here with some of my friends to enjoy some beers on a Friday evening. We got some flights so we can try various beers as well as individual beers. They have a large selection of beers on tap so you should not have a problem finding beers that are of your preferred taste. They didn't have any food that they served but we did see some people bring their own snacks so I believe bringing outside food is allowed. Parking was pretty easy to find. They have some parking spots available in the back lot. They have plenty of board games that you are available to play as well as a TV for entertainment purposes. Definitely a cool brewery to be added to this list of awesome breweries in the bay area. I would come back! read more

We attended the Shaksbeerian play. Loads of fun, great beer and the Thai food was excellent.

Not really impressed with Strike overall. I liked the warehouse, and appreciated all the signage to point you towards the brewery! Beertender was quite unhelpful, though. She turned away when I asked questions, gave really short answers, and just didn't have decent customer service. The beer itself was just okay. Nice to sit and hang out, but it's not really a place to go for great flavors and a "wow" factor. Plus, the beer prices are higher than other breweries in the area. read more

Would def be back! :) read more

Strike Brewing is always having events, but unfortunately I never got to attend one before moving. They have taco nights, doggie meetup nights, trivia nights, yoga days, and more! Lots going on here. I've been to Strike a couple times, and the beer I've had has always been good. I wouldn't say it's amazing, but I've never had anything I didn't like, and the employees are always in high spirits and friendly. It's a bit confusing to find the first time you come through, but you'll discover the entrance is on the side of a big warehouse. Don't miss the turn! They often have food trucks in their parking lot, especially for their events, but they don't sell food so maybe call ahead about the trucks if you're hungry. They also have board games and a TV or two, usually turned to sports. Definitely not a place you'll find yourself bored in! I'd definitely recommend this spot to anyone with children or dogs they can't take to hot outdoor breweries during summer--this one is inside, and I think it might be air conditioned. read more

Beer is mediocre, but the Santa Cruz brew is exceptional. Felt like a one hit wonder to be transparent.

Love this little hidden gem. Came here with some friends to check it out. Lots of parking and easy to find. They had a good variety of beers but no sours on tap this time. A little warm but they did have industrial sized fans going to keep everyone cool. Our service was fast and friendly. read more

Great little hidden gem! Love the 10th St location for an afternoon beer and bite. Great selections on tap. Always grab a flight to check out new releases and give a try before committing to a full glass. Staff is friendly and super helpful in making choices. Place is clean and offers outside seating. Love the look inside to hang with friends or an afternoon date! Always a good truck on Sunday and love being able to support 2 local businesses. Definitely a great place to chill and grab a beer. They also offer beers to purchase for some take home sipping ! Great place to check out ! read more

Only 4 beers on tap during Covid. Sad...but we still love their hazy ipas and dipas. We order cans to-go at their Campbell location more often then coming here. You have to buy 1 food item from the food truck if you drink here. There's not a lot of outdoor seating, but we got lucky and got the last table. About 4-5 tables only. Tables seem spaced out. The tent is only the top and one side wall covered. Dog friendly! read more

We came here after running the Bishop Ultras and were ready for a hearty meal. The service was a big slow here but you don't come here expecting to get in and get out. The beer selection here was great and it's awesome they offer flights for those who want to sample what they have on tap. For our group, only a few people had beers but no one was in a flight-y mood. As for the food, I think it's par for Bishop that everything is made well but not really anything to write home about. I had the tempeh reuben. I didn't have high expectations here, but they actually know how to prepare tempeh! Most places don't know that you need to steam or boil it first to take away that bitter bite. Thankfully Strike's chefs knew and the sandwiches turned out great because they did that extra step. The portions here were pretty generous but not overwhelming. All in all, this is a great place for friends to get together and unwind. The ambiance is nice and chill with plenty of outdoor seating as well. I think I'd pick to come back here over Whiskey Creek the next time I'm in town. It's more laid back and has lots of options for everyone (including vegans!) read more

And here is the first time. So glad San Jose is upping the Brewery industry. Love it!! Small inside and cozy. Staff are helpful and for those who likes to bring their four legged friend, they're welcome also but keep them on leash and behave. Overall, the experience is good. I just wish they have more beer selection. read more

Found out about them while searching for a brewery to hold a small engagement celebration. The manager Karrisa was great in accommodating and communicating with us with any questions we had. The event went great and we had lots of fun. The place was cozy and cute and the bartender was very friendly. We had a blast. Their beer collection is also great. read more

Strike combines all the things I like-- beer, dogs, food trucks and winning! Yes, our team won their weekly trivia night, but that doesn't mean I'm (too) biased. The staff is always friendly and willing to help me sample beers until I find the perfect hazy. Love that I can bring the dogs and chill too. There's always a tasty food truck for snacks as well. read more

My friend and I were looking for a spot to watch the Warriors vs Rockets Game 7, and so we stumbled upon this spot on Yelp. It was the closest and it was one of many few breweries open on a Monday evening (probably because it was a Holiday?). Parking was great! It wasn't too hard finding this spot, but it was a bit strange since it's location was technically in a warehouse at the back of a building. Seemed sketchy at first, but we wanted to give this place a try, especially because it was a local spot that was away from the other crowded breweries. The spot was quiet empty when we came in, about 5 people inside. It was limited in space, but big enough to have a great time/host a party/event. We were quickly greeted when we came in. The game was on which was awesome (2 flat screen TVs). We sat at the bar where the bartender guided us through the menu and even offered us samples. They have a happy hour menu! $1 off pints at certain times. I ordered the Triple Play (11% ABV) and the DH (10.8% ABV) which were their two strongest beers on their menu. They were both equally as great and left a good buzz after a glass or two. Be sure to ask a bout their flights/samplers. We had a great time. The staff was very attentive and kind. If you're looking for a chill place to hang out and not have to yell over people, this is the spot. They've been open for about 3 years now and I can't believe this is the first time I've heard about them. Support your local shops people!!! Will definitely be a spot I'll be coming to whenever I'm in the mood for a beer! read more

I love how this place has delicious light and crisp options like the Santa Cruz blonde and something malty and a little darker like their Screaming Hand. Overall I came in skeptical and left a fan. Only constructive criticism I would provide is I'm curious what they can do with other older traditional styles of ales. read more

This was my first stop when I visited San Jose a couple of weekends ago! | l o c a t i o n | My friend and I came when it was dark so we had some trouble trying to find this brewery because it's a bit hidden. It's in an industrial part of SJ, but we eventually found a sign that pointed us in the right direction. | v i b e | It was smaller than I thought, but the inside is a big open space that was brightly-lit. There are board games and foosball. It's very sports-themed, and for some reason, the decor felt a bit mismatched in my opinion. Maybe because it also gave off warehouse feels as well, but I really liked it because it added a lot of character. The culture is very chill, and it seems as though families are well which is cool. | m e n u | There is food available. My friend and I each got our own beers, but they do offer flights. I got the El Diamante Pacific Coast Golden Ale, and it was delightful!! It's described as having "orange zest and lavender qualities of traditional Golden Ale," and I definitely agree. There was a slight citrus taste to it, but it wasn't overwhelming. Very light in taste! | t l ; d r | Love how chill this place is! Everyone was nice, and there's plenty of seats. Great if you just want to relax or catch up with a friend over a beer. *TIP: CHECK IN FOR $1 OFF* read more
