WhiskyAvengerFebruary 1, 2019This place is great on a sunny day with its many spots to sit and view the SF Skyline. They have a shit ton of excellent beers on tap and usually have great food trucks and pop ups selling food.Upvote9Downvote- Peter BoveyNovember 18, 2016Incredible view of SF Bay and San Francisco skyline, Bay Bridge, Port of Oakland. The beers are well made and cover a wide range of styles. Scolari's food truck made some really tasty bites.Upvote8Downvote
