Main Street Brewery

Came for lunch with a group. Was hoping for a craft brewery vibe, and this is not that. Inside is dark and bar-like, but is probably cool at night with a band. Food was average, we all had burgers or chicken sandwiches. Burgers were a little under seasoned and smaller than expected. Chicken was ok but a little dry. Tried their IPA and barrel aged stout. Stout was tasty but the IPA was underwhelming. Service was competent but a bit slow fo an almost empty restaurant. Parking is pretty easy. Wouldn't go out of the way to come here, but wouldn't say no to an invite either.

A friend and I went to see the Cocktail Monkeys. One of my favorite bands. Love them to the moon and back. Dinner - I had the French Dip. Really good and my friend had a roasted garlic cheese burger excellent. Then cheesecake and chocolate cake. We were happy with our meal. Our server , Miguel took good care of us. Made sure we were doing good. I really like The Main Street Brewery. Patricia Watson - A Pleasanton Resident.

The portions are huge, the vibe is loud. The salad I had was great tasting with blue cheese but portion size was gargantuan. Perfect place for 20-30 year olds to hangout. Unfortunately, I didn't like the beer and the chairs are too uncomfortable.

Been here three times and it was great, the last time took an hour and a half to get our food because they forgot to put our order in and had to go to the bar to get drinks because we couldn't get our server to get them. Damn apes are awesome.

I have been coming to Main Street for decades. The wait service was terrible. I ordered a drink and asked for a menu - 20 min later had nothing but watched the waiter walk around socializing never placed my drink order. I then went to the bartender who was great go my drink and placed my order for food. So 2 drinks and food later paid and tipped the bar tender well. But I was driving so I needed to drink water for a bit before driving. So I went to the bar twice more to get water. The 2nd trip the owner Matt was an A$$ to me said I have to buy water and he wasn't going to fill up my ice water glasses again. I thought how rude I have dropped over $60 bucks and this is the treatment I get over asking for water. Good thing the band was good. Just sad.

We went to see a band play last night, and ordered a pale ale, wings and fried battered mushrooms. Both the beer and wings were mediocre, wings may have actually been borderline bad but still edible. The fried mushrooms were good, highlight of the evening sadly. The ambience is that of a dive bar, not a craft brewery so their name is a bit misleading. If we were to go back, it would only be to listen to a band.

The food was mediocre at best!! Went to see one of my favorite Local bands and for some funny reason there was a guy yelling at the band that they were to loud.(owner found out later). And the band packed up and left......

I went there because the name "Main Street Brewery" made me think it was a brewery. When I arrived I saw that "Main Street Brewery" and "828 Bites & Brews" were two different signs on the same place. Well the place did have two rooms. One side was closed, with an unused bar inside, the other side was open. The open side was a Dive Bar. It had a pretty good beer list featuring several regional products. I got the BBQ pork sandwich which was good. The barman was doing his best, he was alone and the place was pretty busy. There were several TVs, not big-screen sharp-image ones like you see in most places, but TVs the size of home TVs, with dim images, the kind where they're only bright if you're viewing them straight-on. Though I was really disappointed in not getting the brewery experience I had in mind, I gave it four stars because it was good for what it was.

Saw Spencer James Band play here the other night. Epic place to have a few drinks and listen to live music. Great service and even better music.

I love that main street brewery has bands every weekend. My favorite band there is " Rusty Vinyl". can't wait for them to play again in October.
