Super chill atmosphere and excellent food. The Korean BBQ wings were awesome with a little spicy kick. The Buffalo chicken tater tots was fantastic and the burger was killer.
Nice place to chill with friends and have a couple of beers on tap and good food.

I visited Drake’s on a hot Friday night. We had a great time! I’ve been to their other locations, including the one in West Sac and Oakland. Each location has its own unique charm. I especially like this spot because of its spacious parking lot and both indoor and outdoor seating. They also had the sports game on TV. The beer selection is fantastic.

I really like this microbrewery. They've got some solid food choices and a good drink selection. Love that you can order and pay by QR code. I regularly tip, but I do get mixed feelings on the tipping though since the only service you get now is for alcoholic beverages. You have to pick up your own food and water. You also have to bus after yourself, which kind of defeats the point of dining out and tipping for service.

Overall, I still like this place and would recommend to others.

Great place to relax, get a quick bite, and enjoy some awesome beer. Great selection of beers from 4% to 12%. Degnogenizer is excellent, and I also love their Black Porter. Good selection of burgers, sandwiches, pita, tater tots, etc. The 1st Friday of the month they have a party that benefits a local organization, like a school. The beer served here is brewed here.

It was a nice spot, close to work. The happy hour special was actually really food. We all got some tots, original/spicy/garlic, and they were all delicious. The shredded pork sandwich was great. It had a little kick to it, but nothing unbearable. Two of us had the mangu slushy with chamoy, and it was GOOOOD. Can't complain and we will be back.

Easy to find even if it is hidden behind a shopping center. Lots of free parking. Love the patio. Lots of beers on tap. Tried all their sours available. Most are promising. Great food selection. Must try their Jalopeño Burger, Garlic Nachitos, and Garlic Tots.

10/10 would recommend for those who enjoy breweries/beers to stop by - the vibes are immaculate, the staff was super nice, and the service was amazing!

recently stopped by to grab a drink; it was such a fun space to be at! some of my favorite elements would be the spacious indoor seating area whether you're visiting with a bigger or smaller party - you'd be sure to find a spot that works for you. they do have some outdoor seating available which i feel like would be super nice especially when the weather gets better!

i personally tried drake's ipa - best coast India pale ale which i enjoyed as it had some earthiness intermixed with some slight hints of citrusy flavors.

tips:
- for some reason, i had such a hard time finding this spot 🙁 so for those who struggled to find drake's it's directly next to walmart and slightly deviated to the side/past the small parking lot!
- unisex bathroom available
- lots of parking available
- friends, family, dates, and groups friendly
- foods available but i didn't order any to try
