Mare Island Brewing - Ferry Taproom

This brewery is in a good location with parking right next to the ferry station to San Francisco.The service was very prompt and friendly.My beer was delicious and there is also food to order. Good place to relax after work and with friends and family.

First time here. Took the ferry from SF specifically to give this place a try. It was highly recommended on a recent Check Please show. And it was my Birthday treat.First thing I would mention is "poor marketing". Folks on the Ferry could not tell us where it was. Gave us bad directions. Hella long walk from the ferry and absolutely NO SIGNAGE as to where the place was.Food "meh". Super small portions. We all had a pulled pork sandwich. You order inside @ the bar and get a buzzer thingy for your beer or beverage and 1 for your food. Why for the beer, I'm standing right there. Food comes out of a food truck outside. Order got all jacked up, even though we all ordered the same thing at the same time on one ticket. One sandwich came out 10 minutes ahead of everyone else. One sandwich didn't even get made until we brought it to the attention of the manager.NO customer service whatsoever.Unfortunately none of us will be back. We so wanted to love it.

It is in fact rare that you will find me in a brewery but when I do, I go for the food. Luckily the service here isn't as bad as well. There really is just something about stepping into a taproom - it's in the atmosphere. You have the bartender and staff, you have a camaraderie among locals, sport fanatics and of course those that are looking for something new to try. I will say that their holiday or seasonal special on the dessert menu is a must. I checked Instagram literally before stepping in and saw the butterscotch bread pudding with ice cream. Of course I ordered this to share with my friend and we could not even finish it! I know, what a shame. It was so good but I was stuffed after ordering my fries and grilled cheese with a side of water. But that butterscotch pudding...I am going to have to come back again before they switch it out of their menu and take half of it home because I cannot have enough. Out of the three locations this is the one you need to check off your list. I hope they open the outdoor terrace/2nd level soon again.

Good beer. Great ambience. The service was stellar. I'd come back again for sure if I was in the area.

"Local craft brewery's taproom in the Ferry Building, offering their draft beers, bar fare & views." One of the best place to go if you're hungry, thirsty, or bored while waiting for the Ferry. Actually not in the mood to eat but I ordered a bucket of fries for only $6 and it is good! I would like to come back to try the burger, sandwiches, chicken wings, and so many more. Ofcourse they have alcoholic beverages as well. Beautiful spot!

Our group made an outing to Vallejo on SF Ferry Rider Appreciation Day since we have never been to the Vallejo waterfront area. The plan was to walk the shoreline Bay Trail and return to have lunch at Mare Island Brewery. It's been on our to- try list after seeing them featured on CheckPlease. The restaurant is part of the ferry terminal building and is right next to the ferry terminal. It's a large place with a bar area with regular, high top and communal tables. You order at the register at the bar and pick up your food order at the Pick Up window next to the bar when your pager buzzes. I had the Buffalo Ranch Fried Chicken Sandwich - the crispy battered fried chicken thigh with melted Swiss, lettuce, tomato and buffalo sauce on a brioche bun. The order comes from good portion of crispy fries. My friends had the House smoked Pulled Pork Sandwich and House-made Pastrami Reuben. They enjoyed their sandwiches and fries and felt the portions were good-sized. We shared the Everything Bagel Deviled Eggs with Smoked Salmon. With six half eggs to the order, the everything bagel spice and smoked salmon kicked it up from a regular deviled egg. Delish!So glad we finally got to try the food here and it was delish. So convenient for ferry riders. Will be back again and will try the beers next time.

I really like this place, the location, food and beer is really good, i love all their menu and I hope they continue like that but I would love to see and improve on the restaurant, maybe the cleanliness of the place and restrooms, also the service, maybe they can have more staff during nights and weekends. I hope I can enjoy still going every time more.

Local brewery with nice selection. Walk up ordering with about 10 inside and more outside tables. When its beautiful weather, sitting outside with a beer can't be beat. The food is pretty good. Last visit included a MIBC Burger, special (nectarine) salad and pretzel. I wanted to order steak fries and beet salad but they were out of both. Food was good but nectarines lacked flavor (not surprisingly in October) so maybe that's why it was the special. Took longer than expected to get our food (like maybe 30 min) so don't arrive famished. Overall, I'm a fan if it's a lovely day and I'm prepared to chill on the patio.

Mare Island is a popular, beautiful spot for a casual meet up with delicious food and a great beers! Overlooking the water, the view from the dining room is great and they have outdoor seating on a warm day. The staff is friendly and helpful. Definitely stop by and you will be in for a good time!
