The Cooler

Nice, knowledgeable staff, cool art on the walls, tvs in every corner w the game on, and solid, classic music on the speakers (e.g., Dire Straits, Stevie Wonder, Led Zep). Came here with carryout from nearby Slice House, and we had a good chat with the guy serving us, ended up learning some recent history of San Leandro even. Plus they had Pliny on tap. Can't go wrong starting your night here.

11/29/22 Update... Still rocking at The Cooler... Grabbed some hot chicken and brought in for some Dubs action... Neato!
Great local beer hall! Lots of local brews and several other interesting choices. Dog friendly!! You can bring in your food and there are several good restaurants in the immediate area! The Cooler, is Cool!

I love this spot! Would definitely recommend if you're looking for a good low key bar. Old school music, reggae, rock, TVs for the game. Tons of beer options on tap or in the Cooler and very knowledgeable bar tenders. Might be my new Sunday for the games. They only serve beer and wine, but that's all I need.

My favorite, if not, the best local taproom in town. The owners are very nice people and they sure know their beers. This place offers an incredible amount of craft local beers on tap. You can choose to have yourself a few pints, hald pints, or even try out everything on tap with taster pours. They even have wine om tap, cold brew coffee on nitro, and even kombucha on tap. This place is perfect for grabbing a drink or two with friends and having a nice chat because there is not too much noise going on. On tuesdays they do have trivia nights, which are themed and really entertaining. There are tvs overhead to watch all the sports there. They also allow you to bring in your own food, making it really convenient to grab a bite from a local restaurant and then head over inside to The Cooler to have a nice drink comolimenting your meal!

Love this place for their large craft beer selection. They don't serve food, but you're welcome to bring your own in!
