Ordered some beers that we hadn't heard of for the first round (Ghost Town "Sardonic" - great, and Ghost Town "Hop Clot" - good but with a funky aftertaste), and ordered Pliney the Elder for our second (always a safe pick.) Friendly bartender, friendly interactive clientele, clean bar, clean bathroom, just a nice relaxing afternoon in San Carlos.

Right when you walk in, the vibe feels welcoming and easygoing--perfect for groups or even a casual solo stop. The space has a great indoor/outdoor setup, so you can choose between a lively indoor atmosphere or a more relaxed patio feel depending on your mood. There are also a few TVs around, making it a solid spot to catch a game while hanging out. What really stood out was their impressive selection--30+ beers and seltzers on tap, with a little bit of everything for all tastes. Whether you're into hazy IPAs, crisp lagers, or something lighter like a seltzer, there's plenty to explore. The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable, taking the time to walk us through options and offer recommendations without any pressure. You can tell they genuinely enjoy what they do. On top of that, they also stock a nice variety of bottles and cans in the fridge, which is great if you want to try something different or grab something to-go. It adds a bit of a curated bottle shop feel to the experience. They also serve some light bites like empanadas and pizza, which paired well with the drinks and made it easy to settle in for a while without needing to leave for food. It's not a full restaurant, but definitely enough to keep everyone satisfied. Overall, this is a great spot to kick back, celebrate with friends, or just explore new craft beers. Easygoing atmosphere, solid drink selection, and friendly service--definitely a place I'd come back to.

Outside food is allowed but we also enjoyed the food truck that was there. Private space was perfect and we had our own bathroom! Clutch. We also had access to their prep space including a fridge which was helpful as we setup. I loved the private space but still access to the hub bub of the bar. The beers are always dank and we had fun doing flights of tastings! Alex, Brad and his staff make this a wonderful community space. My friend is actually inspired to host their fundraiser there too!

I have to go back soon in hopes they will have it. Can't remember if they can beer to-go. I'll have to check! Definitely worth bringing a 4- or 6-pack home to keep enjoying, although I prefer the tap beer. Always a favorite brewery when in San Carlos (for the eye doctor). In a quaint little local community where the street is closed only for pedestrians to try and shop a little bit of everything!

There is one guy who works there, however, I don't know his name, but he is tanner, with tattoos, and wasn't very friendly. One of my friends asked for a recommendation, and he was less than enthusiastic. To me, it came off as rude and just rubbed me the wrong way since I took my buddies here and spoke highly of the place. Otherwise would recommend this place! However, we all enjoyed the beer, just wish all employees were equally as helpful since not everyone is familiar with beer!!

The pastrami was tender, juicy, and packed with flavor, layered generously in the sandwich. Every bite was rich and satisfying without feeling too heavy. The garlic fries topped with pastrami were just as good--crispy fries loaded with savory, flavorful meat and just the right amount of garlic. Super indulgent and perfect for sharing (or not). You can tell this is a popular, staple spot--there's a reason people keep coming back. Overall, a solid choice if you're craving something hearty and flavorful. Would come back to try more off the menu.

We ordered: -Onion rings: Super crispy and the onion didn't fall out with each bite. The ranch also was very tasty! -the Reuben: Crispy bread that paired perfectly with the pastrami meat. The Swiss cheese added even more flavor to the sandwich. -Philly cheesesteak: PASS. The meat tasted super stinky and paired with the melted cheese made it even worse. Will not order this ever again. Overall, this place is ok for a quick lunch. They have a wide variety of beers which is nice. I'd only return if I was desperate for a pastrami sandwich in this specific area.

During such a difficult time, they went above and beyond to make sure the day was as smooth and stress-free as possible for our family. Lena was amazing to work with. Every detail was handled with care and professionalism. The team was compassionate, organized, and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed without us ever having to ask. The space itself was warm, welcoming, and perfectly suited for gathering everyone together to honor my brother. I'm truly grateful for the kindness and support shown to us. Devil's Canyon Brewery exceeded all expectations, and I highly recommend them for anyone looking for a thoughtful and accommodating venue.

I was already suffering a sore throat , so during the break I told my friend I needed a drink if I was to sit through another stretch of the same format. A quick Yelp search said that this bar was less than a 1 minute from the theatre. So off we went. Harry the bartender is one of the nicest guys you'll meet, and when I asked him if he could make me a hot toddy he didn't blink! Bar is small and is sort of an extension to the Curry pizza place. But it is absolutely at an amazing location and serves anything your heart desires. Friend had a hibiscus whatever with vodka and she was happy with it. I was more than happy with the hot toddy he made with Hennessy. Prices are middle of the road at $14 for a drink, and this place combines two of my absolute faves: Indian spiced wings and cocktails. I just know if I'm ever back at Fox theatre for an event , this is the place I'm getting my drinks at.

It's 9pm and I'm just walking down Laurel Street, which by the way has some REALLY good spots, they really do, and then. THEN. I hear it. Pianos. Two of them. Are they fighting?? No wait, they're DUELING. Two guys absolutely going at it on the keys, taking requests, and the crowd is just vibing. I mean really vibing. The cocktails are flowing, people are singing, and somewhere in the back of my head a little voice says "this is going to be a late night." I did not listen to that voice. No regrets. The whiskey selection is, and I say this with complete authority and only slightly blurry vision, "surprisingly incredible". The cocktails are also dialed in, they've got concoctions on the menu that you may have never heard of, or just pick the vibe you're going for and trust the process. I trusted the process. Multiple times. I used to go to Savannah Jazz back in the day. RIP, still not over it, but honestly?? This place might actually be BETTER. I said what I said. The music hits different when it's right in the middle of the whole room instead of tucked in the back somewhere. Oh and there's an outdoor area too for when you need some of that cool peninsula night air to... recalibrate. I used it. It helped. Briefly.

I recommend the cook to just look up how schnitzel should look like and learn how to make it. Breading texture was off as you can see in the photo: Classic schnitzel (especially Wiener schnitzel) should have: * An even, golden-brown color * A puffy, airy, slightly bubbly crust Ours looked: * Patchy * Flat * Dark in spots and pale in others That usually means: * Oil wasn't hot enough * Not enough oil (schnitzel needs to "swim" a bit) * Breading wasn't properly fluffed (crumbs pressed too hard) I can't believe we paid for the worst schnitzel we've ever had a higher price than the best schnitzels we have eaten in best restaurants in Austria or Germany.

With the sauce they used for the fries, I feel like I got a burger and then some. For the price, that will probably be my go to order since it is more filling than one burger. Overall, good food and I will try again at the original location.
