A great place to have an event. Two weeks ago we had a family birthday for 70 year-old mother-in-law who was so happy to be acknowledged and have such a lovely time . The employees are friendly and helpful. The food trucks have great food. They had a vintage car show while we were there, and those cars were stellar a real treat This place has earned its top notch reviews. It is excellent. Give them a try. read more

Was visiting family in Central California and went to The Tarmac for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. The variety of food from the trucks outside was real good and the selections were real tasty. The vibe from the staff and patrons was awesome. Felt like hangout with neighbors. The beers were great, but the Mocha ( or chocolate) Martini took the prize at lunch. The DJ playing that afternoon was awesome! Had the crowd going with 90's and early 2000s jams! Great experience! read more

We had our 50th reunion Friday night get together here and it was such a fun venue. Plenty of space to socialize, drinks and food were good and they allow dogs! Parking was a bit hard to find but that didn't detract from the experience at all. read more

Nice place. Many food trucks in the parking area to get a meal to bring inside. Good indoor/outdoor seating area. A few tv's to watch sports with fire pits for smaller conversations. Tried Galaxy's Best Kept Secret ipa. Fantastic half pour. read more

Nice location with lots of seating indoor and out. This place is great, but the Oakland dust food truck that parks here Fri and Sat. Night is what brings us here from 50+ miles away to eat! This BBQ is amazing! Average meal cost is $15 per person. The brisket nachos are heavenly and the jaw dropper (brisket with mac n cheese sandwich) as well as the pork Mac n cheese are a must have. That being said you can't go wrong with anything they make here!! Definitely worth the drive and a regular visit. Truck can be popular so make sure if you're planning on trying it out you are close to 5pm. They serve till they're out. read more

I go here every Monday while my son has a meeting. Great service, nice bar tenders, food trucks are steps away, and they will put on whatever game you ask for. I look forward to it weekly read more

Great place,, I love the bear, bingo on Thursday, live music on Fridays and Saturday..

The Tarmac is a great brewery for dates. Looking for food trucks?! Look no further with several surrounding and many types of food available. Kid friendly with outside games and seating available outside, campfires and lounge chairs to watch the kids play catch on the lawn. Service is great with friendly staff and history all over the walls. Check out Castle Air Force Base photos from WW2 and more! What a spot! read more

I have no complaints at all about this place. The Tarmac is located near castle airport off Sante Fe in Atwater, Ca. One thing I really appreciate about the Tarmac is the open lounging environment. It's has both front and back patio open and spacious for a good time. I have had a honey baby beer and the wheat more beer. I liked the wheat more beer out of the two. The tarmac also has food trucks on site to handle your food needs. Today they had a BBQ food truck and order a brisket sandwich. It was not the greatest but whatever, I hear the brisket tacos and Mac and cheese go hard on the taste buds, in a good way lol. I cannot say it enough how awesome the vibes are here and the beer is fair priced and worthy of a purchase. Come to the Tarmac and experience it all yourself, there is no way to be disappointed. This place will make a bad day feel good read more

Great place to go just to set, relax, visit with friends, listen to music, drink some beer or wine, and when you get a little hungry there are a bunch of food trucks you can go to. Service is nice and the servers were great. Very helpful in choosing what kind of beer you want. Will be going back several times I am sure. read more

What a great place for Atwater locals to enjoy a fresh brew right next to Castle. I love the vibes here and their fresh lineup of brews. The servers are always on top of it as they cater to a packed house a times. Highly Recommend read more

The wife & I came here tonight for the comedy show. The show was good. We enjoyed the activities available before the show, and the comedy was of the pro comic level, but obviously not Mark Normand levels, but what do your expect for $10 tix? THE COMEDY SHOW: More entertaining, and cheaper than a movie. The environment was very casual. There was so much space, a person could choose lawn chairs 0-20' cocktail tables and lounge chairs 30' from stage to 75 yds away in beer gardens. THE VENUE: Under appreciated: The private venue area was a great evening for the Rudy Ortiz comedy show. Super close and involved, or right up front was a choice. Bathrooms were very nice and right in the private venue. read more

Awesome setup. Went with a friend on a chill Saturday afternoon,people kept pouring in. There was a wood fire pizza gig there. I didn't get the name they come out now n then. The pizza looked delicious. I had just had lunch so I didn't get to try it. The Tarmac has awesome seating inside and out! I didn't get a chance to try their selection of craft beers. It was a beautiful day at the Tarmac! read more

Freely staff, great live music. Loved the food trucks. Loved the misting sprayers outside.

I'm a big fan of Tarmac! Has become my local hangout. The staff here rock! Everyone is super professional and very friendly. There's a farmer's market out back on Thursdays and sometimes bands on Fridays. Fridays are super fun and busy. Great dj as well with a small dance floor. Since there are food trucks, you can pretty much eat your dinner here and chill the rest of the night. Tarmac is also kid and dog friendly with lots of area outside to sit. There is a wine bar and other beer bars in back as well. Sports are playing on the multiple TV's so you're able to keep up with sports events easily here. Masks are not required here at present. read more

This brewery has a great selection of beers, and great service. They are super friendly and attentive as soon as you come in. The place is spacious has big front and back porch. It even has a fire pit in the back. I can't wait to come back when I'm around this area. read more

Beer and food trucks. What more can you ask for. And now they have wine and some mixed drinks.

Great vibes. Lots of spaces to hang out. Lots of food trucks, however I wish there was more varieties of food trucks. Most are Mexican food and one with chicken wings. read more

I would have given a 5 stars rating, BUT I didn't appreciate how this particular worker was choosing and picking who to card. My friends and I were already served, so we went back for a second round of delicious brews. This particular worker only carded my group of friends. I watched The same worker not Card any others before or after us. If you're going to Card a group (of Hispanic and Asian descent), then make sure you Card everyone else each time others go back for more rounds. Never had this kind of experience there before, so it was very odd to have experienced it at the Tarmac last night. After experiencing that, we finished our second brews and left to another venue. The atmosphere is usually such a great vibe! I come here often and would bring friends or meet friends here for the variety of food trucks and the great brews. But last night just wasn't it--due to a particular female (light haired) worker from last night. The other 2 workers (with darker/black hair, sorry didn't get their names) were nice and made the experience super enjoyable per usual. Overall, I would recommend going to a tarmac but make sure you get served by the ladies I mentioned above. They are fun, nice, and have great customer service that make you feel welcomed! Unlike the other gal... read more

I tried the vanilla bean stout which was good!! They had two food trucks outside that served hot wings & pulled pork sandwiches. The food trucks were moderate. They have heated lamps outside with a lot of seating. Inside was pretty crowded so seating was limited but it was mainly due to being busy. Prices are pretty reasonable. Its decent for Atwater. Dogs are allowed. read more

Great place to hang with the whole family and friends. Love the live music. Food trucks are a plus.

I love this place, come here often with friends & for the food trucks. Very friendly. However there was a girl last night that tended to me & my friends was extremely rude. She even came up to my table and harassed me. Still giving it a 4 coulda been a 5 if it wasn't for the rude girl. She needs to learn some customer service skills read more

Very friendly staff. Clean and nice place to hang out with friends to have a beer and eat.

Everything bout this place a vibe.... From the drinks to the people to the food trucks n too the crew kicking it in the parking lot cause needing something stronger.. read more

Worst customer service tonight. Whoever the two girls working at the bar tonight at the Tarmac. While working, they were drinking on the job. Please talk to your workers and train them better. They have poor customer service as they were accusing my group for littering, when the cup fell and we simply picked it up. She aggressively came towards us and confront us. She she noticed that we did not litter, she walked away without apologizing. The other sever at the bar then decided to curse at the customer using the "F" word. I hope the manger does something about this. Poor customer service or go find some new workers. Thanks and good bye! read more

Went to their grand opening. Looks like it will be a really great and nice place when weather is nice and not so cold. It was mostly outdoors. Not sure how they're going to keep it cool when it's a 100ﾟ. Was disappointed because I don't drink bear I think they should at least have one wine or 1 white and 1 red wine for people who don't drink beer. They have the cider which is still like beer to me. They had 2 food trucks but if you don't want to stand in the line were 20 people and wait forever I would eat 1st before heading over. read more

Today was our first time dropping by The Tarmac and I have nothing but great things to say about Blaker Brewing. We picked up a few 4-packs of Hazy Babies, Hidden Lotus, and Siege of the Stoners. Not only was the beer delicious, but the beertender went out of their way to deliver my ID that I had dropped somewhere at The Tarmac with no hesitation. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR DOING THAT, you have no idea how much I appreciate this gesture, we are eternally grateful. Our friends that we shared beer with also loved our choices, so we will be back again to enjoy these delicious beers on tap. If you want to enjoy excellent beer in a chill and modern atmosphere, this is the place for you. We will definitely be back and bringing friends and family to this gem in Atwater. Thank you Blaker Brewing, and thank you to our beertender who went above and beyond his customers! read more

We love this spot, relaxed vibes, excellent selection oF brews and delicious variety of food truck options. It's a great place to meet friends for a casual gathering together. We really like being able to purchase some brew to take home when we're bbq ing at home. Favorite thing is that it's local! Favorite brew is Hazy Babies read more

Amazing establishment! I feel the owner thought a great deal about his customers. Providing a great environment, food choices, beer choices, seating/comfort, as well as the friendly staff he put in place for our awesome experience! Thank you! read more

We were so excited to seee a new and fun place open up in Atwater and love that it is so family friendly. There are games (jenga etc) and lots of seating outside (with heat lamps and and lights) and when we were leaving last night they were setting up for live music. We loved the beers we tried and it was fun to run into families we know (and haven't seen in a long time). Also it is great to see new businesses bring new lIfe to Castle AFB. Will return next time I am in town visiting! read more

These guys make some really good beer. I love the the different deals they have like the unlimited tacos. They have really good food carts come here read more

I love this place before covid my crew and I would go every Friday .... great atmosphere good beer

Good beer and good nice setting. Don't mind getting drunk here. The food place they have is pretty good as well.

We have been to both breweries in Atwater and Ceres and were excited that the Atwater location was open for "safe" business during Covid. We were sadly mistaken. Most all patrons were mask-less as well as the staff. I asked why they weren't wearing masks; they replied "Atwater is a Sanctuary City". I was baffled and replied, "What does that have to do with wearing a mask to protect others?" They just repeated the same nonsense. We had one beer outside and left as quickly as we could without filling the two growlers we had brought with us. These are strange times and a very strange response from what I thought was a reputable small business. read more

Amazing beer and a great atmosphere. Kids and dogs are welcomed. Lots of outdoor seating with heated lamps so it isn't too cold. They also have indoor seating options that include a couple couches. As far as food goes, I love that they have local food trucks there. Sure the wait time may be longer but we are helping support local businesses instead of corporations so I honestly don't mind waiting 10 minutes for my food. Lastly for everyone complaining that they only have beer options..... I don't know what more you would expect from a brewery..? All in all a great place! read more

As a local Atwater resident it's awesome to have Blaker in our town! Great atmosphere, great brew and nice servers ....and this past Friday the live music was on point! read more
