Drake's Barrel House - San Leandro

“I met up with friends at this spot and had a great time, chill vibe. I enjoyed the heffe beer and the food was amazing. Be sure to check this place out when in the area.”

“Located in the back of the Alameda Walmart, hidden between industrial buildings. This is a great brewery, which is a great place to host large groups, parties, and sporting events. Spacious interior seating and outdoor area. Great selection of draft beers, and delicious food, which is prepared outside in a food truck. I highly recommend their Cali cheeseburger: thick juicy patty with cheese, fried bacon, and avocado, stacked in a toasted artisan bun. The full order of tater tots, are topped with bacon, cheese, and sour cream.”

“Great beer selection, got the Amber. Their burger and fries were also very good. Burger reminded me of a Habit burger. Great place to hang for lunch or dinner and with friends and catch a game. Would definitely come back.”

“We spent a pleasant afternoon drinking whatever beer was available (they kept running out of our selections. I thought this was a brewery?) listening to music and people watching. It's a family friendly place with good munchies. Good hang for puppers as well.”

“My expectations dropped as Google maps weaved us through a Walmart and strip mall parking lot to Drake's, but once we got there - it was great. Big, open warehouse vibes with plenty of seating inside and out. Friendly bartender, solid beer choices. I had two different West Coast IPAs and enjoyed them both. The space is nicely split - it's busy and energetic in the back with big TVs, skeeball, a basketball shooting game, and several dart boards. The front area was quiter, but still lively. There’s also a spacious outdoor section with picnic tables. It’s a very kid and dog-friendly place - there were plenty of both. Bonus: food truck with with a variety of items. We had tots and the grilled cheese and pastrami sandwiches (the pastrami was on the seasonal menu so not sure it's a staple). The sandwiches were good - not knock-your-socks-off good, but tasty and paired nicely with the beer and vibes. Overall, good experience and I'd go back.”
