Barebottle always delivers delicious, mouthwatering, tasty hazy fruity IPAs. The staff memebrs are all so friendly. Food was not always offered when they first opened. So this was a huge bonus when they dropped their food menu! Their wings in particular are very crispy and thicc! There is a decent size patio area for little gatherings. Some arcade games and board games for entertainerment. It is kid friendly.

This location of Barebottle brewing is very large and clean. On the far left side is the bar, and…read moreon the far right side is a cozy section with couches, pinball machines, and games. The middle has many tables for patrons to sit at. We parked (incorrectly) in some random parking garage, but you're supposed to park right across the street; Follow the signs for restaurant and shops parking (that we somehow missed). After a short wait on a Sunday afternoon, the bartender allowed us to taste a few beers on the menu that caught my eye. The cider (for you non beer drinking folk) was dangerously delicious and I really enjoyed their "fruited sours" line. Definitely would come back to relax at this location.

This review is late in coming as it is for an event we held at Hapa's in early August for the…read moreoccasion of my wife's birthday party. It was very good working with Cassie who was generous with her support in ensuring my wife had a great party. As disclaimer we know Cassie from our 6 year old's baseball teams the past couple years. My wife preferred Hapa's Los Gatos location at first but were advised that their Lincoln Ave location would be better suited for her party of around 100 guests including children. We had a private event space next to their brewing vats and rented tables, high tops, and linens through Hapa's. This location does not have a kitchen and instead have taco trucks and such who park outside. For our purposes we had an outside caterer serve our guests and Hapa's were very accommodating to them. This location has a couple barriers between it and Lincoln Ave. and is connected to other small businesses via hallways so it is safe for children to move about freely. Hapa's provided corn holes for kids to play within our space and we had crafts on tables to do. Next door is a pinball machine playing shop so between all these, kids were enjoying themselves and adults largely free to socialize. Hapa's doesn't require you to buy their beer but we opted for wristbands and open bar tab. If you do bring your own alcohol there is corkage as normal though, so we just kept with their beer which our guests enjoyed. Their bartender Alyssa was great to work with, ensuring we had everything we needed while serving their public customers. We were conveniently next to their bar while being set aside from public space. There is filtered water to spout from but it's on the other side of the bar, so a walk to/fro for filling up our water dispensers. Our caterer provided agua frescas, no extra fee from brewery on that. They were able to bring their equipment in the space and set up nicely to serve made-to-order tacos and quesadillas with side tables of self-serve rice, beans, mixed veggies, and guacamole. We had dessert tables perpendicular to them. We were at first concerned the space wouldn't work as it looks warehouse-y but when outfitted with tables/linens, catering, and our own decorations, it turned out to be a great space where people could sit or stand and be free to move around. I was surprised at how many customers Hapa's had as it's in a kinda random location but it was packed both inside and in the back. This casual festive brewery environment worked well for noisy children in our private space and their free and safe movement about the building was priceless. Everyone expressed what a great space it was and my wife really enjoyed herself being able to see so many circles of her life in one space. Thank you Cassie, Alyssa (sorry if misspell), and Hapa's!

The best way I have found to get a grain bill filled is to email an order in and have him email when it is ready. Each grain bill takes some time to fill as everything is weighed and packed. I have found the prices here to competitive and most times better than what I find on the web and other supply depots. Rich is the man!! Also, if you have loads of questions, emailing Rich has been a great way for me to get them answered. It takes time, but he is so happy to share his experience based knowledge. The major plus side of emailing Rich for information is that once received, the email is archived for referencing later in case of remembering incorrectly or just as a refresher.

I've given this place multiple chances over several visits, but unfortunately the service has been…read moreconsistently disappointing. My first experience should have been a warning sign. I walked in and stood waiting to be seated while an employee, who appeared to be the owner or manager, continued talking with her kids instead of acknowledging customers. I don't mind waiting, but a simple "We'll be right with you" would have made all the difference. I decided to give them another chance. On a later visit, I spent a few hours working there and ordered drinks. When a friend joined me, he sat down and was completely ignored. No one came over to greet him or ask if he'd like anything. We eventually had to flag someone down just so he could place an order. After that, our server mentioned that Tuesdays were buy one, get one free on wine. I ordered my second glass, but it never arrived. When I asked another server about it, I was made to feel like I was inconveniencing them. The irony is that I would have happily paid full price--I wasn't the one asking for a deal. They were the ones who brought up the promotion, then acted bothered when I politely asked about the wine that was never delivered. The final straw was our most recent visit. We were seated at a table by the staff, only to be told a few minutes later that we had to move because the tables were supposedly reserved for the party sitting behind us. We moved without making an issue of it, but no one ever ended up using those tables for the entire time we were there. It was frustrating to be relocated after being seated, especially when the explanation didn't match what actually happened. At this point, it's hard to view these experiences as isolated incidents. The common theme has been inattentive service and an attitude that makes customers feel like they're an inconvenience rather than guests. There are too many great wine bars that genuinely appreciate their customers for me to spend any more time or money here.

Honestly my favorite social space I have ever been to!…read more I flew all the way to attend an esports event, which was ran great through the venue. When guildhouse opened to the general public in the afternoon, the atmosphere lit up. It's so casual and just a nice place to come and relax with your friends. There are a ton of amenities, whether it's board games, video games(both PC stations and console stations), and esports streams displayed the whole time. Such a great place if you want to avoid typical bars and want a gaming or anime themed environment!

I guess it's getting there... 5yrs now and I'm finally seeing improvements to the place. Here's…read morewhat I like: 1. Improved lighting. It's a small step towards what we need. It's still a bit too dim for board gaming, but we will take what we can get. This negative is what I'm constantly hearing from everyone when I'm hosting games. I don't need it looking like a laboratory, but if every bulb was upgraded by 200lumens, it would solve the issue. I understand they want the space looking ambient. But hey, cater to your demographic. The LED strips that were put in a few months ago was a step in the right direction. 2. The new TitanTron thing. It's fabulous looking. And really showcases what's meant to be highlighted during events. 3. New additions to the food menu. This was sorely needed. Many of us were constantly leaving to go elsewhere to grab sustenance. I think many OGs still aren't aware of it, but it's slowly catching on. We tend to have blinders on if there aren't pictures. Maybe try just a poster or two somewhere to boost your sales? 4. The Game Corner Being able to borrow games is fantastic and has really grown the space and hobby as a whole. I see plenty of people diving into the hobby for the first time and it's wonderful to see. Instead of walking in and only dilly dallying for 30min, many are now staying for an hour or two. 5. Utilizing the entire space. For years, I saw the extra rooms sit empty and was mind blown. As a former manager in hospitality, that blew me away. That's basically pissing money down the drain. You're paying the lease on the space. Why wouldn't you put it all to use? Hire an events manager if you need to--part time even. Trust me, it pays off. I'm now seeing the extra rooms consistently used/booked. Anything that attracts bodies to the space is a good thing. Often, energy is what makes an establishment successful. And energy will beget energy. I'll come back when I have more time to list what I still don't like:
