Menlo Park, CA

Located just steps from the Caltrain station in Menlo Park, Barebottle Brewing Company's third Bay Area taproom is a convenient and welcoming destination for locals and commuters alike. Situated within the Springline development's residences along Oak Grove Avenue, this vibrant establishment embraces a family-friendly spirit with an open-plan layout and spacious seating areas. The lively atmosphere is enhanced by pinball machines, brightly colored lighting, and eye-catching tile accents.

Interior designer Jon de la Cruz drew inspiration from the brewing process, incorporating a continuous band of "hops" clay tile that serves as a striking backdrop to the dozens of beer taps. Warm wood fixtures, merchandise cubbies, and a painted wood wainscoting create a sense of tactile warmth and comfort that supports Barebottle’s mission of hospitality.

Above the service bar, Barebottle's trademark menu board, featuring colorful signage tiles that rotate daily, is a prominent focal point. This dynamic display adds a playful touch and showcases the brewery's ever-changing selection of craft beers.  All combined, the taproom's inviting atmosphere encourages guests to linger and enjoy the company of friends and family.
