Quality/Quantity - We almost did NOT come today. After circling for parking 3+ times, I told my family if we don't find a space this last drive by, we will go to a different brewery and/or a different place for dinner tonight! Got lucky and parked two blocks away. 10 of their beers on tap; the rest are guest taps. So of course, I had to try their $3 signature Lager - Too light for me, basically you get what you pay for. Next... Pale Ale - $7, now that's more like it! No IPA today, so I had to settle. My daughter got the Yard Bird, Strawberry Lemonade Beer. Suits her. Ready for my 3rd beer, when my daughter said she wanted to go home and party some more?!?! So I abided. Lovely's restaurant is also here on the premises. See pictures and other 5 star Yelp review. Ambiance - Cool space. Lots of semi private spaces that you can rent. See pictures or their website. Very kid and dog friendly! Unisex restrooms with outside sinks, thank you! NO parking! So bad on a Saturday evening that we almost did not come. Open 6 days a week - see picture or their website. Closed on Mondays. Service - Counters service. For both the bar and Lovely's. The outdoor bar has WAY faster service than the inside bar, just an FYI. Price - Affordable, especially for the Bay Area. Just left South Lake Tahoe and paid $9 - $10 + tip a beer there, but you know that because you are following. Owner Comment - Congrats to the building since 1919. Congrats on your success since 2021; glad we were able to visit. read more

Love coming to this brewery for any occasion! Birthdays, catch-ups, study sessions, you name it - they have the space for it. Their indoor space is actually quite large if it's a rainy day too. The outside is super lively on a sunny weekend, and you'll see a ton of doggies and some kids. I enjoyed all the brews I've tried here, and there's one I'm still on the hunt to find again from here -- it was simply salt and lime light beer?? Still won't stop talking about it. Anyways, I'll be here again! read more

Bear is good, just don't get food there it's run by a different business. The separate burger inside is terrible and really ruins the overall experience. read more

This was place such a great random find. We had just finished up at a nearby bar a friend had recommended and weren't ready to go home yet. Enter Two Pitchers. It was packed and lively on a Thursday at 6:00 and had great drink prices. In particular my husband was excited by the $8 boot for their lightest beer. read more

Loved this place. My friends and I were celebrating our last semester of school and needed to blow some steam off. Man, was this place worthy. Spacious and very edgy type of ambiance. Love how there is different types of crowds in here--from employees off their 9-5, from families with their kids, you see so much diversity. I highly recommend this spot for anyone in the area that is trying to chill out and have a nice brew. I love the options they have. Can't wait to come back. read more

This brewery snuck under my radar to add to my Yelp bookmarks to try. I have tried breweries in the Oakland area and the overall general metro area but haven't come across this brewery before. So it was a thrill to try something new. The beer that Steve and I had was the Weekender. A Shandy or Radler type of beer and a beer type one doesn't come across too terribly often. It was pleasant revisiting this beer type and we enjoyed the flavors of Passion Fruit, Guava, some citrus which generated an overall tropical aspect. It was fun revisiting the beer type again and this brewery for the first time! read more

Two Pitchers Brewing - The Weekender from Two Pitchers Brewing! - Beer Gardens Near Me - Oakland, California

I love this place! Come for the amazing beers, stay for the ambiance and vibe. I've been here in various capacities--usually casually with my partner--but this spot is so cool and spacious that I even celebrated my birthday here a few years ago. Most recently, I was looking for a place for my local tennis social club to watch the US Open Finals. I emailed the team at Two Pitchers, and they were kind enough to host us! That's when I discovered "The Garage" behind Lovely's--a private, covered outdoor space I hadn't even realized existed. Apparently, it's only been around for about a year, and it's a little oasis with a 4K projector, sound system, and plenty of tables. All 40 of us fit comfortably. Everyone raved to me about the event - we will be back for more! The whole place is awesome. The front beer garden with tables and string lights is perfect on a nice day, and the indoor space is colorful, fun, and has that repurposed vibe (it used to be an auto repair shop!). The interior features high ceilings, cozy nooks, and comfy couches, while the beer garden spans two large outdoor patios--plenty of space for groups of any size. They have a great selection of beers, radlers, and slushies--I recently tried the Nova Slushee, which was delicious. Lovely's burgers are also amazing, but if the kitchen isn't open yet (they open at 4pm), you can bring in outside food. Bonus points: the place is both dog- and kid-friendly, making it perfect for a fun outing with friends or family. Two Pitchers is just a genuinely welcoming, fun spot with something for everyone! Come through! read more

TPBC is always a great first stop to start the day off with a few beers. I've been here a handful of times now, and I don't even like beer. The place is spacious with indoor, outdoor, and even upstairs seating. Drunchies in the little stand outdoors. You can order from almost every angle of the bar area. Staff's always super chill. Maybe a little slow, but relaxed. Can never go wrong with a few Radlers -- a bubbly cocktail if you think about it. Had a Radler Creamsicle over the weekend, which came in a cute glass boot, and the microbubbles were delicious. It's also really affordable, with prices under $10 a pint for almost everything. They have something for everyone, whether you're a rugged IPA lover or want to enjoy a light, sweet sip. They do lean more on the fruity side, though, so if that's not your thing, then kick rocks down the street. 5/5, no notes. read more

They don't accept cash; very lame. Half their beers are "radlers", decent guest beer selection fortunately

A lovely spot with plenty of seating, really good beer on tap and a nice place to hang out at. It was very busy but still relatively easy to find seating. read more

This is a bit of a late review, but I went here with a close friend for the first time last month to watch the Super Bowl. The food was absolutely delicious and although I'm not much of a beer person, the beer here was soooo tasty. My impression is that Two Pitchers is a place that specializes in a few beverage/culinary platforms and executes them really well, with no need to impress through some bloated menu. I would absolutely return to try more. The environment was spacious and comfortable. We sat at the bar, and while service was quick, we felt well-taken-care-of. Thank you! read more

Re your snotty just- printed response to my negative review re the wine. As I responded in your private request to me to remove my review, I'm fully aware that your glasses of wine start at $13. I guess you don't think people should tip those who work for you, who are actually very nice people. You're annoyed I wouldn't remove my review, but your snotty response about a measuring cup, etc says a lot about you. read more

Beer is always on point, the fish & chips along with the fishwich were both fresh and delicious. read more

Been meaning to try this spot for years, and I finally did today! There's plenty of seating, both indoors and outdoors, but since it was cold and the Chiefs vs. Texans game was on, staying inside was the best choice. I wanted to check out the mezzanine as it looked so cozy; but unfortunately, it was closed off. I was a bummed to see only one sour on the menu, the Great Notion Blue Raspberry Fluff (8% ABV). When I asked for a sample, I was surprised to see it was green. Green beer did not look appealing at all.... but I gave it a shot--and wow. Literally speechless. Looked my boyfriend in the eyes and told him "This. Is. The. One." As a sours-loving girlie, this one blew me away. Flavor profile was fruity, berry, a little tart, and had a candy-like sweetness. Honestly, it's the best sour I've ever had. Beating myself up for not grabbing a 4-pack to take home because I know it'll probably never come back. The bar was managed by two amazing women who were super friendly and had great recommendations. I'll definitely be back whenever I'm in the area! read more

Came here to watch the us open w my tennis group. They kindly set up a projector in the Garage area, and allowed us to have a fun viewing session. Great selection of beers and radlers (beer mixed w juices) friendly bartenders, outdoor space with benches for a relaxing, lazy weekend afternoon. Will def be back. Parking lot across the street was $5 for 4 hrs read more

Got the weekender - passionfruit forward, a sour and tangy beer. It was good and nice to hang out on the patio space while the weather started to warm up! Love the large outdoor space- was sad that lovely's wasn't open until later ~4pm read more

What a fun spot that is great for groups. It has plenty of seating both inside and out, with a huge bar. Inside, the place has super high ceilings and is quite industrial, so it's loud, and on a colder winter night, jackets were left on even inside. They have a ton of beers from a few different local brewers. The bartenders are hipstery - in this case meaning maybe not the most outwardly friendly, but I'm a pretty chatty Cathy and they chatted back. So, Lovely's is the burger spot that has a little kiosk area that is separately owned.*** Their smashburger is incredible - their fish burger not so much. But, I digress. If you're planning on getting food at prime meal times, the line will be long, no ifs and or butts. However, once the food is ordered, the food does come out quickly and that smashburger is what's up. Overall, a great beer spot in uptown Oakland making it a good pre-game spot before the Fox. *** You can review that biz separately! read more

Had the lemonade on a hot day and it was refreshing. Service was good no complaints.

I came here with my boyfriend and his friend last Friday. It was our first time visiting, and a good place to kick off the weekend! Lots of people were there. It's mostly an outdoor space with lots of long benches, which is great for large groups. While busy, we were able to find a spot. I had the Rambler and Nordic Jam, which were both great for a summer evening. Would recommend coming here, especially if you work in the area for a post-work drink. read more

So glad to have this space in the neighborhood! There's indoor and outdoor seating - high ceilings inside so it feels very spacious; outside patio can get packed on a nice sunny day. Lots of great options on tap, including non-beers. I personally love the radlers. Shares space with Lovely's so you can grab some food (and soft serve!) with your drink. Staff's always welcoming. read more

Love this spot! Neighborhood staple in uptown. Burgers at Lovely's and a good beer here. Will be back many times to come!

Tasty brews, really cool staff that cares about your experience, dog friendly, ample seating but bring a jacket because it certainly is cold in the winter. I'm not a big beer drinker so I gravitate towards their wine options. Awesome set up as they have Lovely's within their grounds so you can grab a burger and a beer with friends and have a great time indoors or outdoors. read more

Two Pitchers Brewing - outdoor seating with friends - Beer Gardens Near Me - Oakland, California

Came by two pictures brewing to celebrate a friends birthday. The space consists of an expensive indoor and outdoor area with small and communal tables in a warehouse like atmosphere. There is also a second floor, which we rented out for the event, that includes boardgames and Nintendo 64. The brewery feature both food and beverages. Drink orders are placed inside at the bar or outside at a window. Food orders are placed outside at a separate window where they will give you a number to bring your table so that staff knows where to bring the food. I tried the drive thru burger, which I really enjoyed, that came with American cheese, slow, cooked onions, pickle, iceberg, lettuce, tomato, special sauce, on a sesame bun. The burger had a fantastic ratio, and was very juicy and savory. I ordered two beers and, all I don't remember the specific ones, I recall them both being delicious and very flavorful. They were juicy and fruit forward. In fact, I noticed the description on many of the beers included fruit. I tried few of my friends beers and also noticed a fruit forwardness to them too. Honestly, it was a nice change of pace, and I really enjoyed the juicier, more refreshing, bright selection. read more

Two Pitchers Brewing - The drive thru - Beer Gardens Near Me - Oakland, California

Love their beers weekender is my favorite. Guava and passionfruit lager. Service is great. They also have food in same beer court that is delicious. Everyone who works there as well as patrons are super nice. It is also dog friendly. Cannot wait to go back. read more

Pros: Fantastic and cheap beers. Lots of seating for larger groups to hang out. Cons: Terrible service from a man who acts like customers are a burden to him. Lovely's smash burger is incredibly mid, not sure what the hype is all about. The first two burgers on the menu are equivalent to burgers from McDonald's. read more

Stopped by for a beer shortly after they opened the beer was okay the service was worst. I was looking at the menu and looked up to the bartender staring at me and he never said a word. He continued to stare and me, so I figured I'd clarify and asked if I can order with him since at this point there were no words exchanged to let me know he was the bartender. He responded by saying "yes I've been waiting for you" in a very dry and unwelcoming tone as if I he was already annoyed. I ordered the beer and then it came with half foam. The only positive of this visit was the burger at the little stand next to this bar. The beer is cheap here so I guess it could be worth the lack of quality in the service if you're on a drink beer mission. read more

Great location for tasty drinks after work. Dauntingly long line for the walk-up food service on site, so I didn't try it. But others in my party were very complimentary. read more

The Radler beer is so special! Blood orange and grapefruit infused. Delicious! Enjoyed a glass and got a 6 pack to go.

Nice ambiance, always busy, great beer selection and good NA options too. Wish their food choices were healthier -- everything is fried. Good for larger groups, especially outside. read more

Stopped by here for the second time this past weekend and I'm glad I did! Two Pitchers is a great spot for groups, especially with all the seating. The beer is solid, there's a restaurant in the back, AND there's seating both indoors and out! I grabbed the Mai Tai IPA and my friend grabbed the Radler "creamsicle". Both were great! Though I enjoyed the IPA, the hit was definitely the creamsicle! I can't believe how much it tasted like a creamsicle. Will definitely be back anytime I'm in Oakland! Service: 4.5/5 Food: 5/5 Atmosphere: 4.5/5 read more

One of our favorite breweries!! I love the vibe, open air beer garden + repurposed old mechanic shop with good craft beer selection and plenty of seating indoors and out. Plus the food vendor- Lovely's- serves one of the best burgers and spicy chicken sandwiches I've had. Going to Two Pitchers is a vibe! read more

As a new resident of Oakland I'm such a fan of this brewery. I love how there's indoor and outdoor seating for those warm summer days, as well as a burger joint connected to it for when you need a bite to eat. Just make sure you come early cause that line can get quite long. They are known for their fruity radlers which are some of the best I've had. My favorite one is the Nordic jam. It's light, fruity, and refreshing. Some other favorites would have to be the radler and weekender. I've been here multiple times now and have enjoyed the vibes and the staff are great. Another great brewery in the bay. read more

Two Pitchers Brewing - Outdoor decor - Beer Gardens Near Me - Oakland, California

Great location, love the outdoor and the indoor vibes. There are no heaters outside that I could see even on a cold day. The hot toddy was delicious and I'll have to come back and try the beer. The food looked great too. Limited selection of games available to borrow and play. read more

Updated review based on a conversation with the owner, Wilson. Thank you Wilson! ------ This brewery has a lot of charm, and I can see it being a fantastic spot in the summer when you can enjoy the outdoor area more fully. The indoor space feels like an extension of the outdoors, which might not be ideal on a chilly 49-degree day--most people were bundled up in hats and jackets. The beer selection leans heavily toward fruity flavors, so if that's your style, you'll probably love it. It's not my personal preference, but I can appreciate the creativity behind their brews. Wilson did point out that they offer a classic lager and rotate 15+ guest beers of all styles from other local breweries. They also offer a full slate of wine and non-alcohol options. They don't allow outside food as they share the space with another business (Lovely's). I don't want to dwell on Lovely's long lines, but it is something to note if you plan to eat here. The atmosphere is lively but very loud, making conversations tough and the space less ideal for young kids. I think I'd enjoy this place much more on a warm day with a quieter vibe to really soak it all in. read more

I freakin love this place!! It is a Millenial hub with a delicious and long line of a burger joint next door (Lovely's) and this place has slushies. Say no more, right? Literally every beer on their menu was jaw dropping so I ordered a flight for myself. I really can't tell you which my favorite was because I enjoyed every single one. I ordered: Nordic Jam (fruity in a not super sweet way); Disco Queen (less fruity and sweet but fresh); Dry Cider (exactly as named); and the Creamsicle Radler (sooooo distinct!) They have an upstairs for private events and the indoors is comfy and cute with couches and various chairs. The outdoors is sun drenched and perfect for pets and kids. Service was awesome and you know it is a winner when both your husband and toddler love it! read more

First time here! Love the indoor/outdoor vibes. They have a walk up bar from the outside as well which makes it really convenient to grab a beer from one of the long, connected picnic tables from the outside. Loved checking out this spot. It does get kind of cold outside, where most of the tables /seating are so make sure you bring a jacket. If you're looking for a place to watch the game, they have TVs inside, but it's mostly an area to talk with your group. As far as drinks go, the two pitchers brewery beers are on the lighter side but they also have lots of other breweries available. It's really close to a bunch of other bars so it's worth checking out just for a drink. If you aren't into it you can always go somewhere within walking distance. Outside you'll notice a line forming for Lovelys, which is a burger spot. Hop in line, it's not too bad of a wait if you're with someone + a beer. The food is totally worth it. read more

Went here with a group of six and found a table inside on a Friday night. I ended up getting a flight and enjoyed all the beer which rarely happens - the Nordic Jam was especially delicious! The wait for the outdoor food space was crazy - our party took turns waiting in line well over 30 minutes for Lovely's (separate review). Overall, the beer here was very tasty and had a nice indoor and outdoor space. read more
