North Coast Brewing Company

Its iconic, and its a shame we visited during Covid and had to sit outside in a tent, but it was still worth it - at least it was heated. The beer selection was awesome, everything you know from them plus a few extra to feel good about. The service was great, friendly and fast, there with beer selections if you wanted it. Food was solid, bar food plus the local seafood flare. Would totally go back again if given the chance.

Wife wanted to fly her drone near Fort Bragg, we were going to eat lunch there and I suggested this place. Wound up being my two-month-old's first brewery. Awwww. Anyways, they are one of the original craft breweries and Rasputin and Old Stock remain standards for the style. The brewery itself has their other beers and those two standards. Their other beers are well done for their style but are not trendsetters. The place itself is clean and my wife did not murder me for dragging our little fella to this brewery (she actually was glad with the choice - we both thought the food was superb). Obviously kid-friendly-enough. The beer is great. Their gift shop has all the North Coast swag you could want, along with vintages of Old Stock and Rasputin, bottles of their other beers and a few rarities (did you know these guys do a barleywine? I'm excited to try that). This is not a blow-you-away place but it's a damn professional operation and a classic in a beautiful part of the country with nothing remotely close nearby. If you're anywhere near here and a beer geek you owe it to yourself to stop and enjoy some Rasputin and Old Stock (and whatever else catches your fancy).

Planned this trip for my wife, she had a bucket list to visit glass beach just so happens to be in fort Bragg. Lucky me get to visit one of the first brewerys that got me into craft beer. Nice cozy place, plenty of options on tap and a good selection of bottles for togo at a good price. Happy to have visited.

Mixed era of wood decors - tempting menu- excellent service. All the usual suspects on tap. Excellent.

Too bad we barely missed kitchen hours, but the bar side was quite cozy and the beers are good, so I couldn't really complain. Definitely worth visiting if you're in the area.

Nice tap room on the main drag, with a bar and restaurant area. Service was good. I was somewhat horrified to learn that they had run out of both of their IPA's when I visited, which I think is almost inexcusable for a craft beer place today; two other beers were also off. The beers that we did try were good however. Food good for the most part, however the beer brittle ice cream was amazing. Prices were OK for beers, food was a bit pricey. Basically the best place in town for craft beer.

Visited here in early August ’17 while on vacation. Classic seaside traditional interior with an authentic mirrored wooden bar. Had about a dozen of their regulars on tap, all were outstanding, only had appetizers - Calamari - the best I have ever had, Service was attentive, the place was pretty crowded for a late Wednesday afternoon. Only complaint and a very, minor one was that they did not have anything special on tap - I guess they don’t cater to tickers like me!

A wide selection of their own beers, which are good but not excellent. Food is world class. I had a scallop salad. Service is fine

Visit on 2010-08, I arrive late just for the last call, had the chance to drink a Rasputin on tap that I discovered at Library Alehouse a couple weeks before and have a nice chat with two employes. When the time came to leave, the staff took pity of me that I came from so far (Canada, Quebec on motorcycle) just for one beer ! So let me stay and have a taster palette and a Rasputin on cask to go.

Visited at 8pm Ambiance: Good place Service: took some time before we were able to get the servers attention, long time to get bill Selection: Good beer selection Value: a bit pricey food Overall: beers are good but not the food
