Blast & Brew

Went out with my husband for our weekly date night and decided to venture into our lovely downtown Clovis. We spotted Blast & Brew and were drawn to their wall of beer on tap immediately. We were seated right away, we ordered the AhiTower, classic combo pizza, and a cup of their clam chowder. The ahi tower and pizza were very good! Their clam chowder was very tasty also but not enough clam to their chowder. I would order it again though. We will be back again.

2.5 starsFor the price of each meal, the food was mediocre. My burger patty was tough and overcooked. When I ordered the burger I was asked if I want ranch for my fries, I said sure! Then when we got the bill, there was a charge for a side of ranch. I would have appreciated knowing there'd be an extra charge when it was originally offered. When I eat out I want the food to be fantastic. I also don't want to feel like an inconvenience for needing a water refill, or asking for a new class of water when there's things floating in it.

I like this place due to choices in food and beer. As a beer drinker, this place has over thirty choices of beers to pick from. Most are local and state breweries. The food tasted great nothing too over the top and nothing that had poor quality. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is loud and fun. Would come again 10/10.

So this place was....fine but we'd probably never go back?It's a chain, but for some reason (and this was our misunderstanding) we thought they were known for their pizza and that's mainly why we went. How does a pizza and beer chain compare to (say) our amazing local (not-chain) South of Shaw?Well, we'd heard good things but were underwhelmed.Let me start by saying though that the service was really lovely -- fast and friendly and helpful. And the ambiance itself was fine. It felt like a chain but it was just fine -- clean and comfortable. Lively but not too noisy.It's the food and beer that fell short.After choosing a beer off the menu (you order by number) I was told they didn't have that beer anymore because the menu wasn't updated. And the server asked me if I wanted another beer that didn't even sound similar to the type of beer I asked for? It confused me a little and in retrospect I wonder if she wanted to know if I wanted the beer that now had the same number as the beer I ordered? Not sure. But I had a second choice, a pineapple cider and I ordered that; it was perfectly fine. My husband ordered a hazy IPA and was likewise told they might not have that one anymore. So he said "any hazy IPA will be fine." So that's what he got: It was not so great, and he doesn't know which one it was.The food though. We wanted pizza and yet we didn't want to just get two little pizzas and no other food. So we decided to get a burger and a pizza and share both. The blast burger was a nice surprise -- a basic burger with grilled onions, lettuce, tomato and what seemed like a Big Mac type sauce on a good bun and some perfectly good garlic fries. We both liked that. Generous portions too.Thank goodness we had the burger because the pizza was awful. Now maybe they are not known for their pizza after all, and I went here based on a misunderstanding. But you need to know the pizza is to be avoided.At first I thought, this is not even up to fast-food Pieology or Domino's standards --and it's really not. The crust is thin like a cracker and seems pre-fab. There was a lot of sauce and very little toppings. Not a lot of cheese, very few pepperonis. Not pleasant to eat, the sauce was dripping off and it was $15 dollars for this -- which seemed excessive for what was served.It was overall an OK experience and we liked our servers, but we wouldn't go out of our way to come back unless we were already in Clovis and really wanted a burger.And for pizza there are a lot better options -- when Pieology or Domino's are among the "better options" you know this is not the place for pizza.

The place is quick to seat and bring you drinks. You self pour the beer and the fridge next to it has plenty of cold cups. The pizza was good and my girls enjoyed their kids Mac n cheese.

Was recommended to come here by a buddy of mine and it was such a fun spot to hang out and unwind from the day. They've got a killer beer selection with tons of options for anyone. And I mean this seriously, the variety is actually impressive. The food is awesome too the tri tip sandwich and sweet potato fries were my favorites. The vibe here is also nice, lively without being too loud. The staff is super friendly and helpful making sure you are well taken care of. All around a good time, thank you mike for the recommendation!

We stopped her for a snack and a cold beer. It was just ok. There are so many great restaurants in Clovis and Fresno that I am not sure I will revisit this one because it didn't really stand out and make want to try other items on their menu.

Introduced a friend to Blast and Brew. We shared the Bavarian Pretzel and the Ahi Tower. Both were delicious! The Mango beer was nice and cold! Pictures included are not my pictures.

Located in downtown Clovis, this place is a solid choice if you're looking for decent pizza and a variety of beer options. As a craft beer lover, I'd say it's great for those who enjoy having plenty of options. They have about 20+ beers on tap, along with some wine and seltzer options.Their cool concept involves giving you a card that you can scan at each handle to select your pour size, from a small taster to a full glass. At the end of your meal, you return the card, and it calculates how much you've poured. There are plenty of clean glasses, so you can grab a new one when you're ready to try a new brew.You might not find the best hazy IPAs in town, but the variety is fantastic, especially if you're with a group and want to cater to everyone's tastes. Overall, it's a good spot for pizza and beer lovers alike.

I've been here a few times, and I almost always order pizza. This time around I opted for the tri-tip salad wrap, which is just one of their salads loaded into a tortilla. I got mine wrapped into a spinach tortilla and it was delicious. The wrap was decent sized, but could have used a little more tri-tip. Even though it was lacking in the steak department the flavor was there. I especially loved the crunchy pickled onions and the bite from the bleu cheese crumbles. My wife ordered the personal prosciutto and arugula pizza and she really enjoyed it. The pizza also made for great leftovers. I didn't get any beer this time around, but they have huge selection local beers on tap and available for self serve.
