You don't need a reservation; we always reserve at least half of our tables for walk-ins. Our busiest days are Thursday-Saturday. You can see all of our spaces and pricing here.

We are happy to start a tab for your group; we can also provide wristbands (free of charge) to your group so you/we can clearly identify who is part of your group. If you'd like to limit how much your group consumes, we can also provide drink tickets your group can use to redeem at the bar. Our average beer prices are $7-$9 per glass and $12 per glass of wine, and usually people consume 1.5 drinks during a visit.

All reservation purchases are non-refundable, although if you need to reschedule we are happy to do so free of charge! Just email us at events@barebottle.com rather than cancelling your reservation.

There is no food & beverage minimum, just a modest fee to book a space at one of our taprooms. The fee does not count as a credit towards food & beverages.

You are welcome to bring decorations, but please no helium-filled balloons, confetti or other messy decorations; bring flowers instead! You may arrive up to 20 minutes early to set up and stay 20 minutes afterwards to clean up. Please make sure that if you use tape you remove those pesky little pieces of tape at the end of the reservation.

Please don’t bring outside beverages of any kind. We take this very seriously because the California Dept. of Alcohol Beverage Control does. We stock non-alcoholic beverages, including non-alcoholic beer, and make it available for purchase.

In Bernal Heights, you’re welcome to bring in your own food, but we suggest you buy food from one of our Food Truck partners. If you do bring in outside food, we ask that all food arrives pre-made (e.g. no onsite cooking) during your event reservation, you bring all utensils / plates / etc, and you remove all catering items at the end of the event.

At Santa Clara, Salesforce, Menlo Park, and Walnut Creek we have great food menus, and we ask that you order from us and do not bring outside food. Exceptions for specific dietary restrictions - please email to inquire.

The standard reservation length is 2 hours. If you'd like more time, during the checkout flow there is a check box in the upper lefthand corner where you can 1-2 hours to your reservation.

We allow only 20 minutes for early access on large party reservations. There is no early access for single table reservations.

Unfortunately we cannot accommodate children-focused parties or child birthday parties at our locations. Two exceptions: 1) Salesforce Park is a large public park so you can consider that space, 2) Adult party to celebrate newborn / infant that is basically an adult + parent hangout with no kid entertainment, etc. Please submit a large group inquiry or email events@barebottle.com for either of these exceptions
