Lunch post Mt. Diablo hike. Service was prompt, food and prices decent. We drank the DBC IPA and Espresso Martini. I was kind of thrown off when the server told me the current bar tender absolutely hated making espresso martinis. I tried to order a different drink but he then tried to reassure me it was cool? That aside the vibe was pretty chill.

We had the Reuben sandwich with Cajun fries and the Bacon jam burger. They were outstanding! Great lunch!

I went to Danville Brewing Co. based on a recommendation. The recommendation was that the food was good, and it was. Everything was appetizing, good presentation. This place definitely has the look.

It’s too bad the service and environment wasn’t the same. The servers all seemed to have a very melancholy vibe. Very few smiles, just a little boring. I was even approached by an employee who asked me if I took a video inside the business. He then told me I made someone feel uncomfortable, although I suspect he was the uncomfortable one.

If you’re looking for some solid food, not a bad choice, hopefully you’ll get a little better service than we did. Buy,Drink,Post!

Sat at the bar yesterday and had a great lunch experience. A great tap list with their own beers plus a nice guest tap list. A very robust menu and a great selection of salads. The person next to me order the hamburger and I must say it looked delicious!!! I had the Caesar and loved the crispy brussels sprouts in it. I also thought it was a reasonable price point for lunch..... CHEERS!!!!

I’ve been to DBC a couple of times and enjoyed it however today was a different experience. We went in as a party of 2 around 3pm and had a bespectacled, bald gentleman as our server. As soon as we sat down he asked if we were ready to order and when we weren’t, he waited 10 minutes to circle back. My partner was torn between two options and asked the server for recommendations between the Fish and Chips or the BBQ Salmon. The server replied “I mean, it’s two different animals so” which is kind of a crazy response to a guest that’s asking you for menu recommendations, never mind that cod and salmon are both fish. His comment was condescending and did not leave a good impression, in addition to him not checking in on us regularly or clearing empty glasses when needed. Service was very slow and impersonal given that the restaurant had maybe 6 tables with less than 4 guests each. After this experience from this server, we are discouraged to return as there are other local options with better service standards. The beer was good, food was average. Our seats allowed us to note that our Fish and Chips sat in the window for well over 5 minutes, was greasy, and overall unimpressive. The BBQ salmon resembled something closer to microwaveable TV dinners with the consistency of the mashed potatoes being sticky and under seasoned.  The salmon itself was very tasty and cooked to the requested temperature. We hope that future guests have a better experience than we did.
