I had a great time at Super Owl. Some of the neighboring breweries have gotten so crowded, that we wanted something a little more chill. Mr. J IPA is my favorite, truly an excellent beer. Staff was welcoming, lots of games to play. Enjoyed sitting on the patio playing cards with my family. read more

Great location with decent parking. While they don't serve food you are allowed to bring any food you want. There's a great selection of beers on tap but also non alcoholic beverages. This location is wonderful for good dogs and their humans to socialize outside of a dog park. read more

Super Owl Brewing - Breweries Near Me - Davis, California

Super Owl has been my favorite local brewery in Davis. The people running it and those working there are great, welcoming, and genuine people. They do great events, whether it be trivia, annual anniversary events, and more. It gets packed trivia on Thursdays so make sure you get there early! For the beer, I love the Anni 7 and Mr J. My friends love their ciders too. You can bring food inside, people often order pizza from Lamppost next door or something from the Latin market. Ambiance is great! read more

Spacious brewery, great service. No food, but expect to find a craft beer you'll like! My partner and I started off with a few tasters, and then ordered a flight. Gluten-tag is your typical German Hefeweizen and we loved the banana aroma. Bicycle Rights is one of their popular, award-winning Pale Ales. It's a good one to start off with and compare the rest to. Mr. J IPA is a mosaic and I was hoping for a bit of hoppiness to it. If you don't like something too hoppy, then it's worth a try. FYI, it tastes hoppier as it gets closer to room temperature. Lastly, the Don't Call Me Francis is a Belgian Dark and has a unique taste that might be more fitting for those who like whiskey. Beware: it's much stronger in ABV. read more

Super Owl Brewing - Flight - Breweries Near Me - Davis, California

The brewmaster/owner Joe produces some flavorful beers batch after batch! They are always down to challenge the Beer norm of just producing IPAs while winning awards on Belgian Darks, Pale Ale, Milk Stout, and Saisons. Great service. Chill indoor and outdoor seating. Ask McKaila for her recommendation on beers! *You can bring food from outside. **2 unisex restrooms *** large shared parking lot ****Dogs are welcome. Children are accepted if they don't run around screaming. read more

Quiet little brewery amongst a lot of apartment complexes back (anchoring?) a strip mall. We ordered a flight to get a sampling of what they have to offer. We started with the Bicycle Rights Pale Ale. Nice light beer that is a little piney but is gone as quickly as you noticed it. Second beer is a Mr. J, their IPA, good mouth feel, everything you would expect from an IPA. Next, the AKC DIPA, hazy in color and taste, this could be dangerous! Finally, Attitudes for Darkness (yes, I enjoy dark beer), drinks like a stout, @ a 10+% it will pack a punch if not careful! Nice brewery to visit if you're in the area! read more

Super Owl Brewing - Flight! - Breweries Near Me - Davis, California

Me. I really want to love this place. Maybe because of my affinity for owls, or that it is close to home and would be a great spot to hang. But the beers are just blah. They remind me of the brews my husband and I have done at home with our Mr. Beer kit and the canned recipes that it comes with. The Pilsner tastes like a pilsner, but nothing exceptional or interesting. The blonde tastes like a textbook blonde, but just isn't satisfying--too light a mouthfeel and the flavor doesn't last. They are all okay, but none have been great or memorable. We came over a year ago and felt the same way, but figured with time, maybe their recipes would develop more depth. But not yet. We will keep hoping! read more

Super Owl Brewing - Flight of 4 - Breweries Near Me - Davis, California

We've been here a few times and we've not been disappointed. They have a very extensive selection of beer and most of it is quite good. If you like IPA, definitely check out Mr. J.. It was pretty amazing! They also had a sour which was excellent. It's a big place and it's always very clean. They have a decent size patio, but fair warning, it can get pretty sunny there in the afternoon. They did have about half of the tables in the shade yesterday. They really can't move things around much though because of the social distancing requirements. We were pleasantly surprised that we had a friendly server to bring us beer out there. They allow you to bring food in. I believe that lamppost Pizza, Next door, will deliver it to you as well. Super owl is a welcome addition to West Davis! read more

Wow. This place is so amazing. First off very KID friendly. I'm talking about a section where kids can look at books or play with toys and other kids. A very rare find! Meghan ( sorry if misspelled) was the most amazing bartender hostess ever. I mean she's a sweetheart!!!!! I've never met anyone more thoughtful or gracious before. Now to the beers! My husband and friend got a flight to try the grisette, IPA, udder, and LUF and absolutely loved them. I personally can't wait to come back and have some. I'm about 8 months pregnant now so I did not get the full experience ... but when those fall flavors arrive I'll be waiting and ready! I also love how they have lamppost pizza so close and you can order delivery or just grab your take out from there to bring into the brewery. Too cool. I love how accommodating and family friendly it is. It's the reason we happened upon this place in the first place! My husband didn't want to abandon me and our lil one while searching for a place to grab a quick drink to chat with our friend. If that's what you need as well come on over! read more

In my opinion, among the best breweries and among top beer quality nationally. Not doubt in my mind. read more

Sweet, it's not a restaurant/club! It's an actual beer place. So many places in downtown Davis turn their square footage in to dance floors at night. This one closed at 9pm last night. It got louder and we had to speak in something beyond 12 inch voices at times. Ordered a pizza from Lamppost a couple doors down, brought the number to our table and they delivered it. (to our table) Dog friendly- they had water bowls readily available. Also snack friendly- they had pretzels in a nifty dispenser. Free WiFi, password on wall. For a sweet hangout with actual parking (aka not downtown), check this place out. Bring some food or order in and sip some brews made in house. I'm coming back to try a few more of their offerings! read more

Love this place, it's my neighborhood brewery. The bartenders are always lovely and nice, and it's a low-key vibe that's nice to just go hang out at the end of a long week. Beers are excellent too. read more

Great local brewery off of Lake in W Davis. Nice folks quick service tasty beer. We live nearby and refill our growlers here often

Awesome little brewery in Davis that we came upon before a Yelp event at Lamppost Pizza. Actually, I was looking for the boba tea place, so we weren't planning to go in, but Eric S. saw us, and said to come in and have some good beer. They've only been open for about 3 weeks. Staff was very friendly, laid back, and welcoming. They gave us samples of whatever beers we wanted to try. I like either really light beers or really dark beers, and ciders or saisons if they have them. I tried the "Fat Tony" saison, the "Looky Loo" blonde ale, and the "Ignoramus" oatmeal stout. I got a small jar ($2.50) of the rich and nutty oatmeal stout and the man got a small jar of the blonde ale, which was very smooth and refreshing. The saison was a little too sour for me. There is ample seating inside and outside, with picnic tables, bar seating, and high top tables. There's an area for the kiddos and they allow dogs on the small patio. No kitchen, but you can have pizza delivered from next door, or bring in your own food. They have board games, free self-serve pretzel sticks and water and individual packets of Annie's animal crackers for $1. Very family-friendly! Great location on the end of the strip mall, if you want a craft beer but need to chill from downtown student life. read more

Went there because I heard good things about the place. Showed up a 10 minutes before 8, not knowing they were closing then. Walked past the bartender (possibly owner) with my pups and got settled. Went to order a beer and was told that they are closed! Shocked! They watched me walk in. Watched me get settled. Had plenty of opportunity to offer me a beer (it is a brewery after all), yet let me get settled, and then blew me off. For a neighborhood based business, inexcusable. read more

We love this spot. We were given a giftcard to this spot and honestly hadn't heard of the brewery before. We decided to check it out one weekend with our pup and it quickly became one of our favorite weekend spots. The staff is always friendly, the woman who works there (sorry I haven't gotten her name) is always awesome and usually greets our dog Nala at least once during our visits. We like sitting outside with Nala where she can see what's going on and we can drink beer and play a game or two. We normally bring our own card game but they have a bunch of games to choose from as well. They also offer free pretzels which is a bonus and outside food is allowed since they don't serve food. We recently moved to the Bay Area and we haven't found a spot we enjoy visiting as much as Super Owl. We look forward to visiting on our next trip to Davis. Cheers! read more

In the world of craft beer change is a common word. Trends change, breweries close down, the products become worse, or better...Or like Super Owl they figure things out. I remember from back when Super Owl barely opened few years ago and the beer was just ok. Everything I tried was a little underwhelming and undercarbonated. But I liked the setup off the bat and people behind the bar, so I made the call to give them some time and come back. And I'm sure glad I did.... I don't know if it's figuring out the equipment or dialing the recipes, but some breweries take a little to get going. And 2019 seems to be year Super Owl figured it all out. Strong showing at the State Fair competion+great beer with no carbonation issues anymore. Staff is still friendly, quick and on-point. No food on site, but several places in the same lot that you can order from or pick up and bring in. Space is fun and family friendly and they also have an outside patio. I am surely glad to see that Davis now has 4 breweries with each of them offering something a little different. So next time around I might go back to Super Owl or I might end up at one of the others ones...or why not just go to all 4?! read more

Super friendly staff, great beer, awesome place to hang out with dogs, families, etc. Has some great board games to play for kids and adults to pass the time while you're hanging out! Can also order food nearby and bring it in to eat as they do not have a kitchen. read more

Awesome brewery. Love the ambiance, love the size of the space, love the beer. My only wish would be that this place didn't close so early... so glad they moved into west davis so I didn't have to go across town for a brewery. Superowl (and T kumi ramen upstairs) make a great duo for an easy walkable night out if you live in west davis. read more

Really cool hang out spot if you're trying to relax and enjoy some beer! The beer is very reasonably priced and they brew it in-house! I tried their Fat Tony Saison and it was delicious. I like the idea that you can also bring food in and enjoy it with their beer. The environment is family friendly and I like how it's not full of college students. They provide pretzels as snacks to go with beer, or for the kids. Definitely will be coming back again to try another beer! read more

Stopped in for a quick cold one. Nice folks and nice atmosphere. The Hazy was just what I was in the mood for. I'll be back.

Great beer and friendly service. This is a micro brew and also sort of neighborhood bar being located outside of the central Davis business district. Cans to go or growler fills (including cleverly named owlet half growlers). Play area for kids including board games and a chalk board, small outside patio area. Honestly go for the beer stay for the company and great service! read more

I love how kid friendly they are! Super chill. Fun atmosphere. You can bring in your own food. There's plenty to keep kids entertained and you don't feel like they are a bother to other people. Great for big groups. read more

I love this place. All of the beers are super tasty and great value. We get our beer from this place all the time (they sell them by providing growlers). The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and quite generous when it comes to samples and figuring what you're in the mood for. 100% recommend. read more

They have delicious and creative beers with hilarious names. It is a fantastic place to meet up with friends for a casual hangout. They dont have food but there are some nice options in the strip mall and you can bring food in. Best part is they are very kid friendly. They have a kid corner complete with chalk and chalkboard, toys and books. It was a big hit with my kids. read more

We had tried Super Owl beer when they were offering samples at the UC Davis Raptor Center open house and liked what we tasted so we decided to visit the brewery. At the bar we were offered samples so we tasted two beers, a red ale and the milk stout. Both were very good and we decided on having a pint of the stout. Both bartenders were very friendly and offered advice. It was a bit noisy inside but that added to the fun vibe. There is outdoor seating but it was a bit chilly when we were there. One wall is painted with chalkboard paint and chalk is available for writing, little kids were having fun with that. With free parking and great beer, we'll definitely be back. read more

Been to all the breweries in Davis (and surrounding areas) and this is the best! The staff (especially Megan) are awesome. You can order lamppost pizza to your table. It's family friendly. Great value as the prices are extremely reasonable.Free pretzel sticks. But best of all, no matter what style you like, the beers are all consistently incredible. I'm one of the few who don't typically order IPA, and would drink theirs any day and twice on Sunday. read more

Great beer. Great people. Was a blast when fully open and being easily distracted by sporting events I was particularly thrilled with the lack of television distraction in the establishment. This is a great place to share time and beer with friends. Hopefully we will be able to do this once again soon. read more

PARENTS: Please control your children! DOG OWNERS: Please control your dogs! The amount of patience I have observed from the owners and employees of this place is AMAZING. They are so incredibly laid-back, funny and personable, and yet parents continue to ignore their children and allow them to destroy the game/toy corner :-( Anyway - fantastic beer, great atmosphere, some seating outside and a variety of seating options inside. 5 stars. read more

Great beer and service! Super nice staff! Atmosphere is nice and laid back. The beer was cold and refreshing. Been to many breweries and the two beers we tasted we're excellent! read more

Great family-friendly brewery created by hand by a local husband-wife. Beer is very good and has improved a LOT since initial opening, with two double IPA's and a single, along with your brown ale, saison, and other good stuff. Pours are in mason jars, so a little small, but the price is also low so you can have a few. A gem! The hours are limited, and BYO food, they focus on what they do well. read more

LOVE this place! Great addition to Davis!! 1.) Kid friendly! My 3 1/2 year old loved the toys and large chalk board, was highly entertained for over an hour. My 9 month old enjoyed the people watching! 2.) Great food policy! Love that they allow you to bring in food from local eateries, very chill and welcoming. 3.) Great beer! Nice variety, yummy options for everyone. 4.) FRIENDLY staff! Everyone working there was so friendly and engaging. Great vibe! 5.) NOT IN DOWNTOWN!!! Love the location, plenty of parking and don't have to venture downtown! 6.) Family owned and operated, LOVE supporting small business and local families. All around great place. My only hope is that they expand because the seating fills up quickly, but I hope with their success they can eventually buy out an adjoining space and grow with time. read more

My friend and I came to West Davis tonight to attend a yelp elite event, and got there early so we decided to come here for beer beforehand. I'm really glad we stopped in! The place reminds me of one of my favorite breweries back in Eugene, and just has a nice vibe to it. There were people playing games like Apples to Apples at one table, another table had children, and they even have a kid-friendly area. Their menu consists of small and large mason jars of beer ($2.50 and $5.50 respectively), as well as growlers. They also sell non-beer extras like juice boxes and Annie's bunny crackers! I had a blonde ale, the looky loo , and it was good. I definitely think I'd come back here because their employees were really friendly and down to earth (I struck up a conversation with one employee who also used to live in Oregon), their prices are reasonable, and their beer is good. Also, their logo has an owl wearing a super hero cape. What's not to like?! read more

Super Owl Brewing - T shirts ($20) and various brewery swag for sale - Breweries Near Me - Davis, California

Opening night was last night and it was great! The place was really hoppin' the entire two hours I was there. When I arrived, the line was well out the door, but things like this don't happen often in Davis so my girlfriend and I waited eagerly. She went and got a pizza for us while I held a place in line so it worked out. The decor is trendy and the location is pretty big. There's a lot of seating inside and some outside too. They already have branded growlers (or "owlers and owlets" in this case- cute!) and tees, which is neat. Onto the product! I got a sampler of all 5 beers they're currently tapping. Their samplers are 6 oz pours- really generous! I enjoyed every single beer they had. They're all really balanced and representative of the style they're aiming to be, which I appreciate. Too many beers get fancy these days. I especially appreciated the saison, as I'm not normally a saison fan and yet I really enjoyed this one. Final touch- the employees and I assume owners were really invested in making sure everyone was enjoying themselves and they all seemed to be having the time of their lives. It translated to a great first impression. We will be back! read more
