Ocean View Brew Works

Very Local/Neighborhood Vibes which I appreciate ~ generally just okay beer. A great spot for the local community

Delicious food (vegan and meat options!) from the lovely chef at Kitchenette next door. We love trivia with Tyler on Saturdays, and it’s dog-friendly. Our favorite spot for a drink with friends, too!

Wow! An unassuming yet magical, charming brewery! My gosh. It’s so hard to find a proper brewery by the neighborhood & for the neighborhood, but here we have it. Everyone from the owner to the staff are absolutely fantastic people, welcoming, charismatic, and full of stories they’re willing to share. If I could give 6 stars, I would. I hope circumstances bring me back to the Albany neighborhood so I can visit again.

My first visit to this neighborhood gathering spot was a pleasant experience. I was part of a small group of sketchers that was allowed to meet here to draw anything in and around the quaint establishment including the cozy bar, the tanks that are used to brew craft beer on site and the patio seating area. During my group’s visit a soccer game was playing on the large-screen television and a good number of patrons were enthusiastically discussing the match. Judging from the presence of two well-behaved dogs, it is a pet-friendly place.

Cozy and local. Rotating taps of craft brews for all tastes. Seats about 20 inside and a large outdoor patio can accommodate 50+ more. There's a small kid's play area, and a popcorn machine to grab a free bowl to snack on at your table. No kitchen on site, but sometimes there's food carts that show up in the evenings to give you a good meal. I'll be back for sure! 🍻
