Side Gate Brewery & Beer Garden - Concord, California

I had a flight of their beers. While everything tasted alright, I think I might have missed out on their best sellers. The additional seating upstairs is a nice touch, and they have a lot of board games available for customers to play. It’s a really family and pet-friendly place to hang out, which is great.

Perfect place for drinking fresh beer.
I drank Springnanigans. Hazy IPA is so nice.

The staff is polite and warned us that they have only drinks.

Every day you can find track of food or bring your food. In our case, it was Mexican food - Los Rockeros. We ordered Caifanes for $15 and LA Union (Nachos) for $15. Both dishes were tasty, but the nachos were more delicious.

I like how huge this place is - big terrace, tables inside on the first and second floors.

You buy your drinks at the bar counter.

Here is a calm atmosphere. Board games)

It would be nice to have napkins on the tables.

Thanks!

We tried the porter, amber and sour and were impressed with the taste and quality of each. Lots of seating indoors and out, very dog friendly and food trucks available most days. You can also bring in outside food. Fire pits we’re not working the day we visited, it was a bit chilly but otherwise no issues! Will definitely be back! Managed to take no photos of the beers or patio, but we tried 2 of the tacos and the chicken sandwich from the food truck (Charlie’s? I believe) which were all very good.

Excellent Beer, Good Music, and Dog Friendly. They do not serve food here but often have a food truck. You can also bring your own food or have food delivered. The courtyard is shady and breezy. Perfect for warm afternoons.

The staff was really nice, good selection of beer, it's nice and bright and the bathrooms were clean... Always a plus... They have games that you can play and a different food vendor outside... La Matrix Pizza was DELICIOUS!!!

Cute brewery we tried out for my husband's birthday. Came on a Saturday evening, and wasn't busy at all, plenty of seats. Not a huge parking lot, but there's parking on the street. Very close to Todos Santos park. Cool place with 2 floors, board games to play. Beers were good, but I'm not usually a beer drinker! Hubby and friends liked it. No food served here. But they have food trucks everyday and they bring the food inside for you, which was nice. Indoor and outdoor seating. It was a cool place, I'm sure we'll be back!

I’m not even a beer guy and I love this place. I love the options to either hang out indoors or outdoors. Depending on the season, that makes a big difference. Super well kept and clean. Dog friendly. A great place to come and buy a beer, play some board games, buy food from the food truck in the parking lot. All with your dog. Great job side gate.

16 taps with an excellent variety of tasty beers, seltzers and ciders to wet your whistle. Incredible friendly and knowledgeable bar staff that go out of their way on a consistent basis to keep your mugs filled and make you feel like a welcome guest. (Can’t say that for many places nowadays). So big Kudos to the staff! Excellent selection of indoor, outdoor and bar seating. They offer a nice variety of weekly events including trivia on Wednesdays which brings in a decent crowd. Kid and dog friendly, and there’s usually a food truck outside if you’re in need of a convenient bite to eat. (Food vendors have been subpar on the quality and value aspect from my experience, but there are also many other local food options within short walking distance). And to top it off, they have 3 – yes 3! — restrooms, so you will never have to do the PeePee dance for too long at this establishment. That alone will keep this very satisfied customer coming back on the regular.
