Ghost Town Brewing
The taproom pours straight off its own brewhouse on Adeline Street until ten every night, with food trucks in the yard.
Why go
The tap list changes and the brewery pulls it live off the brewhouse, so what you drink is decided when you walk in.1 The Adeline Street room is the brewery itself. There is a patio, street parking, and dogs and kids are fine. Trucks do the food; the room has no kitchen.1 The second room is a different proposition and a different address: Ghost Town Brewing @ Laurel, a biergarten with a kitchen at 3506 MacArthur Blvd.1 The brewery's own line for the pair is Two taprooms. Zero pretension.
1 I have no beer to name for you, because the site publishes the board and not a permanent range.
Order this / avoid
- Avoid: turning up at MacArthur Boulevard for this one. That is the Laurel room.1
Good to know
- Hours: Monday to Thursday 3pm to 10pm, Friday to Sunday from noon.1
- Food: trucks, not a kitchen. The Laurel taproom is the one with a kitchen.1
Verdict
could-visit — A West Oakland brewery pouring straight off its own brewhouse, open until ten every night, with food trucks in the yard and the dogs and kids welcome. That is a good Tuesday and a correct address, which is the practical half of what a taproom row is for. The evidence half is thin: nothing published names a beer, and the medals the brewery mentions come with no competition or year attached, so none is recorded. Go for the room and read the board when you get there.
