Taco Truck outside was delicious.
Cheri R.

Tioga Sequoia has so many options. I had a mango, pineapple sour that was delicious and my husband had the flights. He enjoyed all of them!! They didn't sell cans of his favorite one; however, you could buy Hoppy Trails ten pack and it was in it. The staff was very nice and helpful. You could bring food in from the taco truck outside. Tony took a shirt home along with some Hoppy Trails.

Lovely beer garden! Good selection of beers! They allow for people to bring their own food or buy food from whatever food vendor they have that day. Will come back when in Merced!

Slushy
Ramina C.

Everything about this place is wonderful. The staff is super friendly. The drinks are a chemist dream. The atmosphere is fun open and casual. Met the person who created the slushy u am featuring here. She literally took different tastes and created a marvel. An orgasm in the mouth. She is having fun making and mixing tastes and loves to create something if you tell her what you like. There is a food truck and last Saturday they had live jazz music.

4 1/2 stars. Their beer board had a great variety of beers/seltzers. The tap room sitting area was very spacious. Very clean bathrooms and great to-go beer selections. Only thing keeping this from 5 stars is the food situation. No kitchen is fine, but you better have multiple food truck options available. The day we went (Sunday) the vendor was a loaded potato pop-up. That would be a good secondary option, but as the only option is rather limited.

The bar

The latest addition to the Merced nightlife scene, this bright and well-lit brewery is right under the iconic Tioga hotel. They have a pretty extensive menu and if you can't decide on which one, feel free to ask your beer tenders! They're very helpful. I came on a Thursday night with my sister and her boyfriend and there was a live DJ playing, so the vibes are good. The taco truck outside is also very delicious and would highly recommend. There's plenty of street parking and there are occasionally events held here. Stop in and enjoy a cold one!

I just happened to see this place and went in. It is brand new just a few weeks old. They dont have much in terma of food but you can bring outside food. There's a food truck right outside. This is like a candy store for adults which gives samples. So many beers on tap and cans/bottles. You can try some before you order. Friendly bartenders. Great music and ambiance. I am going back soon.

Huge fan of this taproom, it's low key and just great for conversating with friends. The events get fun! Definitely recommend checking it out. I love how they let you try beers before choosing too!

Love their posters

Congrats to Tioga Sequoia for opening their 2nd location! So glad we got to stop by here on our way back to the Central Valley from SF&Sac on a Sunday in April. The Merced Taproom will be one of our must stops on the 99. As long time fans of their beer garden in the Fresno Brewery District, this location is a refreshing and elevated version of the Tioga Sequoia we know and love. So much great seating, including some very comfy couches and industrial design coffee tables. Large bar and so much on tap. This is the full Tioga Sequoia beer experience. They also had plenty canned and ready to go. Looks like they will be doing the outside food truck thing which is always neat especially in a different city where you don't know the local food truck scene. Spotless and efficient bathrooms. Great selection of merch for sale as well. Merced, you are lucky!

I love what the Taproom has done with their Merced location in the Tioga! It is big, bright and inviting while keeping with the old charm of the building. The space is very open and airy with plenty of seating and space. The music was good. The vibes are stellar and the beer speaks for itself. You should definitely come and check it out! They also advertise that they offer activities throughout the week such as trivia, karaoke and open mic night.

The bar area.

So far sooo good! (And still has the new brewpub smell.) Very high ceilings and great natural lighting make this spacious new brewpub a very welcome addition to downtown Merced. The server was super friendly and practically insisted that he pour me some samples before ordering. The General Sherman IPA is excellent, and reasonably priced at $7 for a pint. Not serving food, but food trucks are parked outside as I write.

Chris B.

A bunch of beer, a pretty, minimalistic large space... harsh fluorescent lighting, a few small tvs, no seltzer, no wine, no food aside from bag chips and packaged beef jerky... c'mon Merced Taproom... you can do better :[

Best Spicy Michelada and wide variety of local craft beers.

Reviews are largely positive. People highlight the friendly, helpful staff, extensive beer selection, and spacious, welcoming atmosphere. Many also enjoy the food truck and BYO options.

Their service is very slow and unprofessional. Like it's embarrassing how long it takes to get a beer or a cocktail. They might be more successful with providing better service and quicker if the beer tap area had lights so the 2 ladies a see. The tarmac not only has beer, but really good cocktails too. They have no security to check ids. I'm sure they serve miners. Cause they don't ID at all. The Tarmac Owner Steve really should hold his staff accountable for being slow and unprofessional, and actually very aggressive and argumentative when customers wait 30mins for a beer. The guy at the register was literally waving his hands and voice to customer asks for polite and more professional service. I really suggest some bar lights and more professionalism this might be to much of an expectation, so I encourage everyone to come to the tarmac and and enjoy good food, cold beer, chill vibes and below average service in my opinion today

If Rainbird were closer to home, I'd be a regular. I met a friend for lunch at Rainbird inside the…read moreEl Capitan Hotel, and the entire experience was wonderful. The restaurant itself is beautiful: bright, airy, sophisticated without feeling stuffy, and thoughtfully designed down to the smallest details. I especially loved the back room with its gorgeous wood-shingle walls, plants, and cozy seating. I ordered the Ancient Grain Bowl, and it was so good. All the ingredients came together into something hearty, fresh, colorful, and incredibly satisfying. This is my kind of meal: nothing feels like an afterthought. My friend had the Millionaire BLTA, which looked fantastic, and those fries deserved some attention of their own. I definitely helped with quality control. Service was excellent from beginning to end, and between the food, beautiful surroundings, and relaxed atmosphere, lunch felt like a little treat rather than just a meal. My only complaint? Rainbird is in Merced and I am not. I'd happily come back.

Today I enjoyed the Spanish Omelet with sweet potato hash and an iced vanilla latte. Absolutely delicious! On my last visit, I had the tomato bisque soup and the Beet Salad and it was just perfect for a healthy, perfectly filling lunch, in the middle of my "busy work day". The service is exceptional from the moment that you first walk in the double doors, until you are seated. On both visits I was greeted by the Host, Louie. He is very welcoming and accommodating, offering me a beautiful window seat at my visit, and also bringing me water before my servers came to my table. Both of my servers were exceptional! Olivia took care of me when I came for lunch, and Dayan served me today at breakfast. They both know the menu well and recommended the menu items that I enjoyed. They also made my Iced Lattes to perfection! I need to come back for dinner on my next visit in town. The decor of The Rainbird and it's sister restaurant with to-go options, Native Son, are so special and unique to the historic times reflected on Main Street in Merced. Both restaurants are located inside El Capitan. I've heard this Historic Hotel is also stunning, so if you're coming into Merced or driving through the Central Vallley, headed "somewhere", stop by Rainbird or Native Son, and if you need a break from the drive, you can stay at El Capitan!
