Ghost Town Brewing - Laurel Biergarten & Kitchen

Great environment and value. We stopped in quickly on our way to SF and got empanadas and the cluckin hell chicken sandwich. Both were very good and they were great deals for the price. The side salad for the chicken sandwich was very generous. Prices also already included taxes and were rounded to even numbers which was super convenient.

I can’t believe we haven’t visited Ghost Town Brewing yet. We were here long before the 4505 Meats did the build out of their outdoor patio. Now, we get the enjoy upscale pub foods with tasty Ghost Town brews in their sunny patio area. We came mid-day on a Monday and there honestly isn’t a better time to chill with a cold beer in hand - you could even work from this place! Staff is friendly, service is quick, and there’s TVs for game time watch parties. We ordered fish tacos, quesadilla, fries, and a delicious grain bowl. Will definitely come back for days when the Warriors are playing.

It's a very cute local brewery / beer garden in Oakland. There are decent amount of garden/outdoor seating with OK display for sports watching. Foods are American/Mexican fresh and delicious. Good variety of beers by pint/draft or even by 4 to 6 packs. Service is Order-to-Sit FCFS basis. Great for groups, gathering, meetup or couples for casual go out. Parking should be easy using surrounding parking lots or street parking. Will come back for great atmosphere and food.

Nice patio, clean restrooms, dog friendly, good beer and great food. $47 for 2 entrees and 2 beers with tax & tip. Food came out hot and fast. Not much parking in the area but definitely would come back.

Love this place. Always my fist stop when flying into OAK. Awesome vibe, great beers and fantastic staff. What else do you need?!?!

I hadn’t planned to visit Ghost Town Brewing that day. It was Presidents’ Day, and I was in Oakland looking for a place to grab lunch. With no particular destination in mind, I googled the nearest restaurant and found one that opened at 11 AM. Once there, I ordered a bowl of fries and six pepper-seasoned wings. The fries came in a huge portion, enough for both me and my wife. The wings, however, were a different story. The pepper seasoning was intense, burning my lips, not my tongue. Still, they were delicious. For beer, I went with a lager. Normally, I prefer ales, but my stomach doesn’t handle them well. The lager was crisp and refreshing, a solid choice for the meal. Beyond the food and drinks, what really stood out was the vibe. The weather was perfect, the music was great, and the atmosphere felt laid-back yet lively. I found myself truly enjoying the moment, soaking in the casual yet energetic setting. By the time I finished my meal, I knew this wasn’t just a random lunch stop—it had earned a spot on my favorites list. Sometimes, the best experiences come from the most unplanned moments.

Such a chill spot with a great selection of beer and outdoor seatingfor pups, kids, and family. We got the chicken strips for the kiddos, which they loved - high quality chicken breaded and fried to perfection. The fish tacos were so crunchy and juicy. The empanada (beef & potato) were so flavorful with the flakiest crust. The order came out super fast! Can't wait to try other goodies next time around.

Really great brewpub with food. Definitely worth checking out. Been coming here since they opened and am finally posting a review. Sunny covered patio that is dog friendly. The food is pretty solid. Pub grub - but as shown in photo, it is well executed pub grub! I love the Imhume IPA (the beers here tend towards the stronger end of the spectrum). They make their own hot sauces and we like to make our own blends.
