We arrived too late (Sunday night) and the kitchen was closed but the hummus and chips were tasty. They have a wide selection of beers available. A few games to play for those that are interested. Very chill vibes. Bartender was pleasant. Highly recommend.

This is the place to go to when you’re looking for fine craft beer. Odds are, the 24 beers on tap when you walk in, will not the the same 24 beers when you leave. They constantly rotate beers & refresh their beer menu multiple...Read More

Great beers and food in a locally owned brewery. This is a great place to stop after having meetings in the Silicon Valley. They have a great service and local atmosphere. They have a huge variety of local beers and ciders.

It was UEFA Championship Saturday and I needed a place to enjoy the match. I entered Taplands and found the couch seats. The bartender controlled the room like Steve Nash ran the Suns. On this day a Farmer's Market was nearby and I picked up...Read More

First time in after eyeing it for awhile when hitting the Saturday farmers market. Quality selections on tap as well as to go. The staff were super mellow and approachable which is hit or miss in the world of beer snobbery.

Taplands is always a great time and a great place to get together with friends. The laid back neighborhood watering hole is the place to go for good quick bites and a beer. The owners are so engaging and take the time to chat with...Read More

Great beer selection on tap, in cans and bottles. The bartenders are very knowledgeable and happy to find the beer for you. Definitely take some time while working through the menu.

Taplands is a great pub. We go there to watch Bay FC soccer games because they host Watch Parties. The bartenders and Manager are so nice and helpful, it's a breath of fresh air compared to so many bars/pubs around here. There is a covered...Read More

You’ll find this location to be friendly clean and fast. Outdoor seating is 4x large benches, 3x high tops, an 8ft bar, and 3 more 4-person high tops. The staff is courteous, and their appetizers are reasonably priced and delish! I highly recommend the pita points!

Good selection of beer! However there isn't a great amount of seating and it does get crowded. Especially on a rainy day when you can't use the outside space, it might not be the best. Other than that though, lots of good beer...Read More

Love this place. Excellent beer. Excellent cheese plates. Wish seating was more accomodating to come watch a game. Although, the staff is great. Fun, funny, and happy staff certainly makes for a nice place after a long work week. Looking forward to gong back

Knowledgeable staff. Cozy atmosphere. Small kitchen, but staff is not opposed to other food making its way in. Frequently rotating beer handles, means the same 25 beers that were on when you got there won't be the same 25 beers when you leave. Always something...Read More

Loved it. Very nice and friendly environment. Everyone at this place is wonderful. Great selection of beers that rotate regularly. The owner is a brewer, so he knows what to put on tap.

Hands down best beer in the South Bay. Very relaxed vibe, great food, and knowledgeable and friendly staff. High turnover on the taps so make sure you check back often and try to catch them when they're serving their own beer... Delicious.
