    Menu as of 12/17/25 (for their full menu, you can walk next door & order to be delivered)

    Walked in on a Wednesday night around 5pm. First timer, I usually go for porters or stouts and they had two stouts available, Milky Milk (5.2%) & Coconilla (almost 12%). Bartender let me sample both and I loved the taste and smell of Coconilla. BF decided on a pint of Oktoberfest. We also ordered the pulled chicken bowl and a side of rice & beans. Food arrived in less than 10 min from next door! We also picked up a shirt (a Christmas gift) and the license plate sticker..proud to represent Vallejo! Food was delicious, beer was terrific...we'll be back.

    Why oh why is this place not hopping?!? They have a really great variety of really good beer. They have games onsite as well as pinball machines. Lo key great place to hang. PLUS, Gracie's BBQ is next door with fire southern BBQ that you can order in, right through the beer tender! Come in here! Check it out!

    Stopped by on a Saturday evening and was really excited to try a new brewery in my hometown! The space is super open and spacious with plenty of beers on tap. Loved that they also have board games to play and even arcade games to keep things fun. Service was quick and our server was very sweet. Overall, a great spot to hang out and try something new!

    I love being able to support small businesses in my local communities and this is certainly one of them. They have a solid amount of beer options and I loved that I was able to bring in some different from Gracie's next door. Staff were friendly and provided recommendations on what to order as well. I'll definitely be back!

    Excellent brewery this was. I'm glad i stumbled into it. I started with a flight and there was some badies and others not so much. I didn't get to try their food but looked good. I'll definitely be coming back soon.

    Love this guy!

    Vallejo truly needs places like this. Laid back atmosphere, friendly staff, good food, and a personal for me is comfy seating options. They have small and larger tables, the bar area, and lounge chairs of different kinds around so something for everyone. I like that some seating is away from the main sitting area and I get claustrophobic. They have a good selection of beers and drinks like house-made seltzers and micheladas (the michelada is not a typical Mexican michelada so keep expectations low on this one but it did the trick.) Good parking. All in all a very nice and needed addition to Vallejo's downtown.

    The DayDrifter was excellent and the Tropical Punch seltzer was amazing.  The CampFire Reverie is an exceptional dark stout.

    A gem right in downtown Vallejo, serving up a ton of beer options, seltzers, and bbq food from Gracie's next door. Very cool vibe, with a constantly changing menu of beer options. Pinball machines, board games, lots of different theme nights/events. It's as good (if not better than) Mare Island Brewing Company. Clean with friendly staff.

    Good beer. Octoberfest is an exceptional. Very clean and pleasant atmosphere to visit.

    We attended a birthday party at VBC. They offer beer and hard seltzers. You can order food next door at Gracie's. The place is nice and clean. They have several TVs for watching sports. Kayla was an amazing host to our large group. Thank you, Kayla.

    For a change from wine after a day in Napa, try beer! We got a flight (which came with 6 beers),…read morewhich was so fun for trying multiple flavors and different types of beers to figure out what we liked. I was a big fan of the Hills & Valleys one. AND they had deep dish pizza! It paired so perfectly with the beers and honestly made it so we could handle all the beer better lol. The dining area is outside, but there was a nice breeze and coverings over the seating area that provided some shade, so it ended up being a really peaceful and relaxing retreat from the hubbub of downtown Napa. I really liked the atmosphere, and it wasn't too crowded when we went either! It's also in the same complex as Oxbow Public Market, so this is a fantastic way to get a comfortable seat, enjoy some food and drinks, and then explore all the goodies that the Market has to offer. Definitely a fun alternative to the usual Napa wine day!

There was little attention given to cleaning the tables even when the turnover wasn't that fast. Multiple groups arrived at tables that had not been cleaned. You order yourself from the QR code on the table, so for many this is convenient. The food took forever to arrive, and when it did, nothing tasted good unfortunately. The chicken on the pizza tasted bad, and the wings and fries were average at best. They do have a good beer selection. I would go back only if I want to get beer and maybe simple bar food with a group.

They let us taste a couple of the beers on draft before choosing, which was really helpful in making our selections. I got the #20, which was smooth and similar to Guinness, and my partner had the #3, a nice IPA that really hit the spot. The environment was laid-back and welcoming. There were a couple of people with their dogs, which was a plus for us since we have a dog. Overall, we had a great experience and definitely found a spot we'll be coming back to

The staff are nice, the service is quick, they always have the games on to watch and most importantly - they have an INCREDIBLE selection of craft beer. I always find a beer that I want to try simply because of the name/description and another beer that is tried and true that I know I'll love - and the selections are different every time. It's a good mix of popular local favorites and fun, new additions that rotate through. Often at other tap houses or breweries, the selections are pretty basic OR everything is too out of the box. The Beer Aisle has the perfect balance of both. I look forward to stopping here with friends or just a fun date night with my husband.

    The menu selections were broad enough to be interesting, but not so deep that it felt overwhelming…read more I created a tasting, taking it slow, and enjoyed each of my selections. Starting with the Mt. Beautiful Estate Sauvignon Blanc, found this good. It's good, but not great. It's a decent wine but I think there are other more interesting Australian wines out there. The Rabble Rosé from Paso Robles was crisp with just an edge of tart. Like roasted strawberries, if that makes sense. And the Seaglass Riesling from the central coast is now a fave. It's a sweeter wine and a good end to a tasting, for sure. Glad I explored that one. It far exceeded my expectations. The vibe is good. The team is wonderful, caring and attentive, even if their internet went down and they weren't able to process cards quickly. They kept their frustrations focused on the tech and their attention on their customers. And the people who come in - there for a good time. This was our first experience here. We'll be back, for sure!

    Really disappointed with my experience today. I'm a local in Benicia and have been here before, but…read morethis visit completely changed my perception. I was not allowed with my 5 month old baby to have a glass of wine in the patio. I was told there's a "no under 21" rule that apparently includes babies. That honestly didn't make sense to me. this is an infant, not even eating solid food yet. I've been to wineries in Napa with my baby and never had an issue, so this felt unwelcoming. This felt like a made up rule to protect non-mother customers, and Benicia is known for that. Horrible. What made it worse was how it was handled. The waitress(blonde, short hair mid-aged lady) came off rude and said, "no under 21, sorry--unless it's a dog haha," and then told me I could go to the taphouse on the corner. It felt dismissive and unprofessional. I even tried calling afterward to speak with a manager, but no one answered. Overall, it left a really bad impression, and I don't feel comfortable coming back after this.

My favorite lunch order is the Chicken Caesar Wrap - perfect ratio of chicken, lettuce, cheese, dressing, and croutons. The wrap is always well constructed and never falls apart mid-consumption. When I moved away from Vallejo, I thought about this wrap often. For dinner, the wings are always a solid choice - korean bbq, bbq, buffalo - all equally good. The wings are a good size, an even mix of drums and flats, the chicken is always moist and the sauce ratio is perfect. Best wings in Solano County. The M.I.B.C. Burger is another favorite, always cooked as requested, the meat is super flavorful and the toppings - cheese, onion, sauce, and arugula fit perfectly between the brioche bun. This is also served with fries - always served the right amount of crisp. For beers, I prefer to drink the War Bond. However, I can vouch for the fact that all of the beer here is good. Also, all of the staff here are super friendly and helpful. Best neighborhood bartenders, best views of the sunset. We are lucky to have this spot in Vallejo.

    The food was good overall. We started with the fish and chips, and the fish was exactly how we like…read moreit--light, crispy, and coated in a delicate, crunchy batter (think Sardine Can). The onion rings were good too, although I wish they used the same batter as the fish. The food wasn't served quite as hot as I would have preferred, and they were pretty conservative with the condiments. That may be intentional given the location and the likelihood of non-customers helping themselves if everything was left on the tables. I asked whether the beets in the beet salad were freshly roasted or canned, and I was told they were fresh, so I ordered it. It was good, but something wasn't quite as fresh as I expected. It may have been the walnuts--I think they would have benefited from being toasted--or perhaps another ingredient. I'm very particular when it comes to beet salads. I also ordered the crab and artichoke melt, and this was the star of the meal. It was absolutely divine. Rich, buttery crab and melted cheese layered on thinly sliced, perfectly toasted ciabatta--it was pure comfort food. I was surprisingly full after just two bites, partly because the portions are generous and I'd already made a dent in the beet salad. I skipped drinks this visit, but I'll definitely be back to check out the rotating taps and wine selection. The staff were laid-back, incredibly friendly, and genuinely helpful. The setting is one of the restaurant's biggest draws. The outdoor patio offers a beautiful bird's-eye view of the ferries arriving at Mare Island, making it the perfect place to linger over a meal. Inside, there's a large, inviting bar where it's easy to strike up a conversation with another guest, or you can grab one of the window seats and simply enjoy the waterfront views. I'll definitely be back.
