“ Good atmosphere, great food. Ask for a quesadilla and wings with a beer, my friend asked for humus and a burger. Total of 75 with tips included. ”
“ After a morning photoshoot on Mare Island I found this DIAMOND! I ordered the M.I.B.C. Burger Jr. a Soft Pretzel with cheese sauce. The burger was amazing. The grilled onions were perfect. The fries were crispy. The pretzel was great with the cheese sauce, but the mustard they had, is a MUST try its a honey mustard. If they had it for sale, I would have purchased a bottle. There are two pinball machines, a foosball table and two dart boards. Plenty of seats inside and outside. There was also a large projector with sports playing. ”
“ One of the best Breweries I been too right on the waterfront at Mare Island built in one the historical buildings with plenty of room to roam around excellent customer service with a great menu if youre hungry for something to eat I recommend taking a walk around the neighborhood after you have your fill beautiful historical buildings to look at with a wonderful park close by ”
“ Great beer, cool location! Wanted to dock a star for food but changed my mind... Just dont order the pretzel. If youve ever read blind mans bluff Mare Island Shipyard comes up a lot in the book and as a result I was super excited to see that there existed a brewery here. I was driving from Chico with the family back to the Monterey area and this was a good almost halfway stop. The location is super cool as already stated, definitely worth it to drive through to see all the old shipyard buildings and get out and walk around by drydock area to see the old drydocks and cranes. We got some beers and then ordered some food. Only tried the pretzel, chicken tenders and an order of fries. The chicken tenders and fries were good but we paid 10 and 2 more for spicy queso cheese for the smallest pretzel we have been served with a bowl full of nacho cheese almost larger than the pretzel. Pretzel was good but just tiny, been at places that served three of those for the same price. See the picture. Anyways, beer was good, avoid the pretzel and try some different food. Staff was friendly as well. ”
“ Mare Island Brewing is tucked away on the picturesque waterfront. It was my first time coming here, and it a fun surprise for anyone looking to just stretch their legs, see some amazing statues, and grab a quick bite and drink with a friend. So come on down to the Vallejo wayerfront. The staff is wonderful, kind, and accommodating. Play some darts, pinball, or let the kids run outside while relaxing. ”
“ Went to Mare Island Shipyard where a friend of mine works and had lunch at the Brewery, I found the Island very interesting, mostly a place you go to work. The brewery had very delicious beers and food, I had the tacos. Very cool experience. ”
“ Beautiful local brewery with flavorful beers and wines. Many events and history to explore. Nice music and ambiance. Highly recommend!! ”
“ Great location on the water with lots of room to relax. The beer is excellent as always and the staff were hospitable. There was a food truck, but I dont know if it rotates or not, either way, the food I had was good...French Dip! ”
