There's a fantastic brewery in central Concord, conveniently located near a variety of restaurants. You can bring in food from outside, and there's always a food truck offering diverse cuisines. The outdoor patio is spacious and inviting, with multiple seating options, including patio chairs and tall bar tables. Inside, there are two levels of seating, providing plenty of room to relax. Most of their beers are brewed in-house, ensuring freshness and quality. The staff is friendly, courteous, and welcoming, adding to the inviting atmosphere. It's a highly family-friendly and dog-friendly spot, making it a great place to enjoy a pint or two for all who are of legal drinking age.

Ambiance is perfect and THE BEST BEERTENDER around will follow Carlo where ever he goes. Great vibes as always.

Love everything about Side Gate. Our favorite drinking spot in Concord. Could do with fewer toddler birthday parties there, but oh well. That seems to be the thing now!

Side Gate is a nice little brewery tucked off to the side of Todos Santos plaza. They have a very small parking lot but if you're willing to walk, there is street parking and parking garages only blocks away. No on-site food but they have food trucks practically daily which they post online, so you'll know who's coming. There was only one beertender on a Sunday afternoon and the place was packed. Thankfully she was very efficient and the wait wasn't long. I will say they need space heaters out in the patio as it was very chilly when we visited and there was no seating indoors. So be prepared during these cooler months in case you get stuck outside.

Side gate Brewery is a winner ! I moved from SF and was looking for a friendly brewery that had good beer and friendly staff. I found it. The owners Kevin and Paul take the time making a good product. Seems like there is always something new to try. Plus are always happy to answer questions regarding beer production. Food trucks are pretty solid. They do not have a kitchen. Garden area is huge and comfortable on a sunny day. They have a upstairs area for parties. To be honest I never go up there. But its nice. Big shout out to the staff. I always feel so welcome. Keep up the good work ! Cheers : )

I've been coming here for a couple of years. Beers here are fresh and a wide selection. staff are much friendlier than breweries at walnut creek. the inside seating is heated on cold days unlike other breweries. I love the rotating food trucks too. my favorite is the indonesian food truck. their Roti are amazing pairing with beer.

This is a very fun spot to hang out grab some drinks and food! They have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating with a backyard vibe decoration. Extremely friendly bartender who assisted us with grabbing flights and flavored seltzers. They have a food truck that shows up at 12pm (check their website for their rotating food truck vendors). They have a handful of games and it is very clean. Only downside for me is that the handful of beers they do have none that wowed me. With that said I would come back again just for the great location.

We really love the variety of local breweries and tap rooms there are to explore so close to home. Side Gate is a welcome addition to the neighborhood. The remodel of the place really opened up the building, with high ceilings, upstairs seating and large glass garage door style doors that open up to the wonderful patio. Lots of seating inside and out. They have a good beer selection and offer beer flights too. There is often a food truck in the parking lot, snacks for sale at the bar and I'm pretty sure you can bring food with you. Great beer and seltzers, friendly staff and close to home perfect!!

Sidegate Brewery is hands down one of my favorite local spots in Concord! The beer here is next level--great selection, excellent brewing, and something for every beer enthusiast to enjoy. The owners are fantastic people who are passionate about what they do and it shows. They've been incredibly welcoming, even letting us film our beer podcast, Hops and Houses, here several times. They even gave us the opportunity to do a pre-grand opening podcast and tour, which was such a cool experience. (Find it on YT) Whether you're a beer connoisseur or just looking for a fun, laid-back spot to hang out, Sidegate Brewery is a must-visit. Amazing beer, great vibe, and outstanding people--what more could you ask for? Bonus - incredible Mexican food truck out there most days. Owner is Robert, give it a try!

Such a great spot! We are always looking for a casual place to hang out outdoors that is also gated so the kids can't escape. Love that we get to add Side Gate to the rotation. Beers are great, staff is kind, they have pop up food options, trivia, etc. Really well thought out concept. Excited to come back!
