Great food, Nice atmosphere

by lindz75

My husband and I went into the Alameda Brewhouse for the first time recently and I was pleasantly surprised! They have a huge menu, and really great drinks. The only problem was our waitress had B.O. really bad! Would go back, just hoping we don't get the same server.

• Pros: great drinks, delicious food
• Cons: smelly waitstaff

gone downhill

by zsuanna

I have recommended this pub to friends in the past, but have been disappointed in my last visits. Ordered a hamberger medium rare, it came medium/done. I asked to substitute a salad for fries and was charged $3 extra for a very, very small salad. The burger and bread were very dry. However, the beer as always was excellent.

• Pros: beer

Full of kids and rude

by kpaub

We had the worst dinner experience we could have had. The food was OK, but not great so that didn't make it any better. We wanted to sit outside and the waitress seemed like it was a pain for us to be the only ones out there that she had to wait on. She didn't ask if we needed anything else when she delivered the food so I had to go back inside and ask for some mayo, and when we ordered it was sort of like "what do you want". I'm not sure what the draw of Beaumont Village is, because everyone we encountered was rude. There was a real estate broker outside on his cell phone trying to pitch his services to someone and he wouldn't go away or stop talking really loudly in our ear for about 15-20 minutes. Everyone we saw going inside had young children. I'm not sure when brew houses became family establishments, but that isn't what I'm looking for when I want to drink a beer and relax. We had our very well behaved, super cute dog with us and no one walking by seemed to acknowledge our presence at all. Way too snobby of a crowd for us. It was very hot, so we asked the waitress for a lighter beer suggestion and the one she suggested was really boring. It tasted like an over-priced PBR. We also had a rather unsavory looking couple walk by with their 2 pit bull/boxer mix dogs who tried to attack our dog when he was laying down behind my fiance doing nothing. When the dogs started barking and growling, they started attacking each other. It was a very scary situation especially with the number of kids that were around the general area. I'm not sure what that area of Freemont is normally like, but this was a very bad experience.
