Went there on a Thursday afternoon for a quick Happy Hour drink with my coworker, and the place was 95% empty. I can see how Barebottle would get busy later on in the afternoon or even on an early Friday afternoon. The place was nicely laid out and the directions to order was clear. Nice clean bathrooms, and the interior was well-lit and laid out.The downfall, the beers were just not great. I tried a flight of 5 beers, and all with the exception of one, I wouldnt order again. I sincerely hope I just ordered the wrong beers, but even the staff werent very helpful in assisting me to try their best.Bottom line, good atmosphere, so-so beers.

Great spot for a couple of beers! Was here with a colleague and on my own, equally nice to chill at. Would recommended!

Dog friendly patio off sidewalk. Well shaded with overhead heaters. Patio is a little tight if there are multiple dogs. Beer slushies are fantastic and worth stopping by just for one of those.

Super cool better! Mega unique beers, coffee, and wine! Service is awesome! Very go place!!!

More like 4.5. Mostly IPAs which is not a bad thing, great flavors and hip atmosphere. Was pleasantly surprised by the bomb empanadas

Horrible Hospitaliy from Manager Stephanie on 10.17.21.We had guests visiting from Las Vegas and wanted to check the local bar out in our community. This was a place I wanted to bring our friends who enjoy craft beer and is literally downstairs or walking distance from where we live. When we went to the counter to order, Stephanie the manager, in an aggressive tone said WE HARD CLOSE AT 11. We were not expecting 5 star service, but a Hi, welcome in. What can I help you with? would have sufficed. I believe that should be standard hospitality. Especially, working in the service industry.We had an hour before closing, but Stephanie made us uncomfortable in ordering anything. We had questions, but did not feel comfortable to ask. It was an awkward silence for minutes as we looked at the menu. It was our friends first time in the Bay Area and was excited to visit new places.A few minutes pass and Stephanie said again we close at 11. I shook my head and nodded. I kindly said to her, yes you did mention that. I had a discussion with my friends and were thinking of ordering a flight to share so we can try the different flavors and get out their way.As we were about to order our drinks, Stephanie said again were closing at 11. At this point I was upset with the repetitive mention of their closing. I told her I understood they were closing at 11 and if she didnt want to serve us than we can leave. So we did.If the owner of this business is reading this, please know we were not being aggressive with the staff. An hour before closing the staff already had everything closed up for the day. I know COVID hit business pretty hard and we were trying to support the business in any way we can.It was a distasteful experience and hope others do not get treated in this matter. We understood the first time around and thats why we tapered our choices to reflect the time.We visited the establishment a few weeks prior at the same time and did not receive the same treatment. In fact, the other two ladies were helpful with the selection. I apologize I dont remember their names.

Good beer but doesn’t have the wide selection their original location in SF has.

Good beer, wish they had more food choices. Place is clean and has a very relaxing atmosphere.

Great brews and delicious empanadas.

Service was Good and Beers 🍻Delicious 😋

Such great sours - and while Im not a fan of IPAs in general, theirs manage to be flavorful without that hardcore bitter that most IPAs have. Also, the empanadas are freaking amazing 😋

Impossible not to keep coming back on & on for exceptionally well-crafted styles - DIPAs are the smoothest (danger!) & the most memorable in terms of nose-texture driven solutions, and all seasonal series are invaluable in varietal discovery opportunity (pilsners, right now).And sirynga about to burst into wild blooming - an absolutely unique touch to your olfactory palette & palate, overall.Take advantage of open recipe sharing (check the cans).

Varied flavors for all kinds of palates. Flights are a little expensive, but the pours are a tad heavier than most and seem like a fair cost. The empandas are really enjoyable and great to snack on. The sausage with the raisins was a nice surprise, which had a lot decedents, which the raisins and dipping sauce cut nicely.

Great beer bar, lots of craft on tap. Nice little patio off the sidewalk thats dog friendly. Staff is COVID safe. Good distance between tables, they take peoples temperature on arrival.

Nice place to meet friends. So many great beers. Two thumbs up

Limited options - no ciders. Parking is a pain. Cater to people living in the apartments type place.

Good selection of beer. Easy relax place to chill and try some flights.

Lively place with great ambiance. Pet friendly making it more lovable :)

Love Barebottle!Definitely, one of the best breweries in the Bay Area (beer-wise), and with this new taproom, they didnt disappoint!.Huge space with lots of beer on tap (15+), wine and coffee! A couple of pinball machines, a ping pong table, outdoor seating, beers-to-go section and merch area!. They also have some little snacks like pretzels and empanadas for sale.Definitely come check this place out!

Beer was awesome and the staff was very friendly.

Wonderful drinks and empanadas! Barebottles line is always impressive and with a large number of options! As for food, several varieties of empanadas and pretzels! Lovely place!

Cycled up to the front door told the staff at the desk that I did not have a reservation but I was thirsty for good beer and excellent empanadas . The reply was. Sorry the patio is fully booked. Please sit down at that table, you can keep your bike next to you, I will bring you a beer. Ill be back, was the reply.

The beer is really excellent but there are some organizational and logistical issues. The servers are very lukewarm or sometimes cold, unless directly engaged. The food and the service takes VERY LONG, pretty strange when a reservation has been made or when ordering food. Perhaps some expectation-setting for the customer is necessary, because it takes 20 to 30 minutes to get an empanada or roll (ie. I was finished nursing my first beer before letting them know my first order for food wasnt here yet.) Overall, I think this place has a lot to offer - so am happy to change my review if improvements are made.

New place to grab a beer. Great selection!

Beer is good. But service was horrible. Staff acted like they didnt want us there. Said we had to add a food item if we sat inside. So we asked to sit outside, the waitress made it seem like clearing a table for us was the end of the world. We love going to local breweries and definitely wouldnt go back here. The staff ruined our visit.

This was our first time, we were impressed!! The taste were little different and they have potential to come up with unique flavours. I so want to give them 5 start, but service was bad, the staff were giving cold shoulder to us and we were seated in a narrow table not able to balance food and drinks. Would love to visit again!

This is a brewpub where you need reservations. If your reaction is whaaaaat???, then dont go. If you dont see anything wrong with this, then go and enjoy good beer, though the selection was a bit limited - it was nearly 60% IPA when I visited.

Bare bottle is great. Really great establishment. Just know that passed 12pm you wont be getting any sun due to the building location. So make sure to sit inside during fall/winter if you dont like being cold.

Ive came back here twice during Covid. Ive came during afternoons on Fri and Sat. You have to order one food item per table. They take reservations if you want to take that route. I havent had to wait both times Ive came. Good place to chill with beers. Plenty of parking all around. everything is good for me

Good beer and freshly made empanadas! Nice patio and appropriate precautions for safe drinking & dining.

Good beer but trash food. Menu is too small as well

Service was good. If you like IPAs, this is the place for you.

Best in San Jose! Lots of selections. Especially they have excellent IPAs.

Very fun atmosphere, but very loud. The beer was good.

Worst experience. Bad beer and bad servers.

One of my favorite breweries in the Bay because of all their various delicious hazy beers! Quality has its price though but well worth it. Staff was super friendly and knowledgeable about their beers. Parking is across the street in the big garage. Everything was convenient and touchless.

Pretty good beer and nice outdoor seating. Staff was a little slow and at made us wait 30min before sitting saying it was all booked. We ended up sitting at the same empty table we saw when we first got to the brewery

Best empanadas Ive ever had. Beer is pretty great too 👍

Nice enough place to grab a pint. Not sure the ESB I had was anything special (a bit dead). Its a shame the outdoor seating area is not larger, and if you want to sit outside the north facing location isnt ideal if you want a bit of sun. The staff were good.

Great beers, good selection, helpful staff

Make a reservation ahead of time. The staff is very friendly and helpful! Empanadas are so good!!!!! If unsure about beer get a flight first.

Loved the flights! Definitely worth trying.

Pretty good place to grab a beer and hang out

Great place, awesome music even better beer and service!

Purely going by their beer here since I havent dined at the place yet. Excellent beer options, reasonable prices too. These guys will be responsible for my beer belly soon...

Love the place for great beers and amazing atmosphere. The empanadas were delicious. Will go back again for them. The staff was very friendly and helpful with recommendations too. Overall, a great place to spend an evening with your friends.

Great concept, but the customer service mentality of the staff is awful. Dealt with an outdoor server, an inside server, and the manager on duty, and all three were rude and seemed like they were doing us a favor by being there. Completely lacking any sense of hospitality or customer service. I definitely would not return.

Great Beer and Empanadas!

Great service, selection and vibe!

Stopped in for a flight on my way to the airport. Upon arrival, the host informed me that a food item would have to be added to the tab; making it seem like a local law. I had just ate and was not hungry, but whatever. The cheapest food item they had was a $6 empanada. Like, if you have to add a food item charge me 50 cents for a mint. Thats just scuzzy.Cant talk about the empanada quality since I had to run to catch my flight before it came out. All in all, after the ghost empanada, five 5oz pours came out to $27 before tip. The beer was good. Certainly not over $1 an oz good tho.Would suggest one of the many other breweries in the area.

This is a really great place with excellent customer service. Had a minor issue where my order didnt go through to the kitchen and we waited longer than normal. The staff made up for it by adding complements to our order (i.e. extra empanadas). Will be coming back again!

Great service. Great people. Great selection.

Cold and off-putting staff here for some reason. If you can, go to the actual brewery in San Francisco.

If you’re looking for a brewery that can both hit the high notes on classic styles and surprise with innovative new beers, you’re going to like Barebottle. I stopped by to get a Crowler to go after a grocery run (they’re open for take out only during the shelter in place), and the experience was ideal. Clean, appropriate social distancing rules, and helpful staff. And the beer didn’t disappoint. Highly recommended!

Stopped here in the height of Covid19, so we couldnt check out the inside :( The outside was small, but shaded so that was good. The inside looked amazing, hopefully well get in there one day. The beer is good as one would expect of course. They make great Kettle Sours and pretty damn good IPAs as well. The food menu was small, but it was fine for a quick snack.

Great place if youre looking for IPAs, pilsners and empanadas. Great beers all around that are embellished with a creative take that transcends the norm.

Great beer selection.

Had the Stout and it was creamy and delightful, but if youre hungry, too bad for you. A selection of ridiculously overpriced empanadas or softpretzels. They need more food options.

Fun spot, great beer. But seriously hope the owners can add some soundproofing soon. This place is LOUD. Don’t expect to be able to hear anything your friends are saying.

Amazing beers, family friendly, plenty of space. Did I mention the beer? They have good beer.

Low food variety. Big space, but tables don’t get cleaned when space is full. Great beer selection, if you want to wait 15 min in line

Great beer and food...

Food was great, beer was fantastic, and staff was really friendly. Awesome to have a barebottle so close to home!

Fun little place with a great atmosphere. Tatste beers and food! We had the pork sausage and the prosciutto and cheese empanadas!

Its hard to rate a brand new place as I KNOW youve got to work out the kinks but just a few things.It took 25 minutes to get my one black cup of coffee. When I got it after checking in nicelyz it was lukewarm.The carb on all the beers especially the lagers was too low.I know you guys will get it figured out though 😉

It’s finally open, was it worth the wait? Definitely! The place looks and feels great, with enough sitting, high lit ceiling, and the combination of white and wood breaths a peaceful and welcoming ambience. To be honest though, you can literally drink they’re beer anywhere.With breweries like strike and they’re ipas, hermitage and they’re sours, hapas and they’re kettles, or even clandestine and it’s hang out cave. Barebottle is an incredible addition to the scene. It’s like when Apple chose Cupertino as they’re headquarters or Google Mountain View. Definitely makes a statement, they’re here to stay, to create, to grow, to expand, to evolve and to make some of the best dam beer out there!!!!!!The only thing I would suggest is for the beertenders to engage a little more, to know more about their product, and even dare to make a suggestion. We all know what we like but with the rep that Barebottle has of being creative and constantly inventing we could use a brief description and maybe even an invitation to there latest, like the wine or coffee( or just something they’re proud of). This won’t affect my rating because they just open and getting hit with huge crowds. Looking forward to more future visits........

Poor design. Brewery holds 500+ people and they have 3 people pouring beers. Major fail as no one can get a beer because there is no bar and the line go 25 people deep.. Major fail here

Great beers, huge open space, great place to chill

Empanadas!!!

If its your first time here, there is parking across the street at the parking garage, not sure if it costs.

Great beer

No tap beer yet.
