Laughing Monk Brewing and Gastropub

One of the best brewery in bay area. Ample parking and Seating. They have full bar as well. Food options are also amazing. Chicken wings, cauliflower wings, Gumbo, Calamari, burgers are all good. Service was good as well.

Enjoyed the Hunky Jesus and Kolsch beers on tap. 👌🏽The Prime Rib Special was a bit over on temp but still tasty and a great value.

I came in for a business meeting, but got surprised by how pleasant this place is. Good looking inside, even better outside... Today was the perfect day to enjoy a spotless blue sky, mild breeze at 68F, a few ducks coming from a nearby gorgeous pond, walking across the tables in the hope for some food leftovers...
I felt like on vacation at a tourist resort, sipping an excellent German style lager together with tasty rosemary garlic fries.
Highly recommended, both the place and the food. Did I mention that service was friendly an excellent?

When they say Life is good"... Well, today was one of those moments.

This place is awesome. They used to be Faultline Brewing and they joined with Laughing Monk Brewing, I tried a few of the new beers and they are so good! The food is great too. Good place to meet with friends or coworkers.

On a trip for work stopped by for dinner and a beer by myself. SUPER friendly staff at the bar. Juan and the entire staff kept checking onto make sure I had everything I wanted. Great tasty burger and tried a few sample beers to find one I loved to order a glass. Excellent food and beer. Highly recommend

This place never disappoints. Whether you are here to hangout with your friends or of its an official happy hour meet. Great atmosphere in and out. Have been here multiple times on different contexts and thoroughly enjoyed the food and drinks. Beer selection as well as the cocktails are great. Get the sampler to experience it.

Latest visit was with my office colleagues. IPA onion rings, garlic fries, smoked wings were good in appetizers. Avocado hummus was just okay. Go for risky business and you won’t be disappointed.

Awesome environment! The staff is very attentive and made great recommendations. We WILL be back!

Not terribly fond of the restaurant name. But they had a good beer selection and some really good food. Quite a few TVs to watch, too!

The waiter/bar tender was exceptionally great and outstanding as today. The fries were perfect, crispy and delicious. My fish and chips were perfectly cooked in a very thin coating, extremely tasty. My wife's flat iron steak was perfectly cooked medium rare, juicy, very tender, and flavorful. Mashed potatoes were just so so.

They have a good beer selection but no dark heavy strong beers. Their nitro stout was good.

Faultline has stepped up and pushed their food back to great again; a year ago, it was below average. 3 years ago, it was great.

My family and I were in town for a random getaway and shopping. Found this place on Yelp as we saw they accommodated large families. Adults wanted beer and good food... kids wanted good food. Long story short: food and beer are really good. The service was amazing. Everyone was super nice. Will definitely come back when we are in town.

"I would go here every week" -my fiance.

The atmosphere, food, and beers are great! On our most recent visit we found out that the cocktails are great too! We have tried the Tikka masala pizza in the past, it is so flavorful and really hits the spot. Also their chicken wings are worth the price, so crispy and great flavor. They are on happy hour too!

This time we tried the buffalo mac pizza, also tasty! The truffle was a strange flavor combo, but we liked it. The onion rings were good too.
We were there on a Tuesday which is their taco day with $7 margaritas all day. The margs come in different flavors (rotate each week), the tacos were $2 and had beef or chicken. Pretty good but fairly small, you would probably need 3-4 tacos to feel full.

Super spacious, great service ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I'm a fan ❤ of their kolsch 🍺 while everyone else loves their IPAs. I'd say they brew something for everyone.

Omg Roberts Classic Pizza 🍕 is our fave. I think the secret is already out, but seriously the crust is perfection.

This place such a great happy hour meetup....and it being so close to the Bay club makes it hard not to catch a few cold ones post workout to watch 🏀 🏈 ⚾.

Yes did I say I'm a huge fan 🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻

$10 pizzas on the weekend, can't go wrong 😎

Went there for the first time. It's a beautiful place. Our server Lindsey was gracious and helpful. The food was great and beer was delicious!! Will definitely come back when passing through.

This place has great pizza a and views of the water. It's also cool.bc they are right next to a small park/trail area that you can get a quick workout at.... hidden gem.

Beer on tap is good to.

Nice large place. Live music on weekends.
I ordered their beer sampler and it was awesome.
As with any brewery, the sides are greasy except the seafood Ceviche which was excellent - large size too with lots of shrimp and nachos.
I would return here on a weekend.
Great place to visit before movies down the street.
Update 9/12/21:
Love the beer selections and appetizers here. If you sit outside you get closer to the ducks and geese

Good serving, good food. My salmon was perfect. Not to much lemon, really tender.
A big space. Perfect for family, company or the regular customer. Big price range. Beers between 5-7 percent which is pretty good, but did not taste one.

First time here, found a fantastic 12- ounce prime rib dinner for only $25 on a Friday night. Mild smokiness, not overpowering the beef, and the horseradish sauce is perfectly complimentary to the meat. Mashed potatoes are fantastic, too. I couldn't fit in a dessert, but my dinner mates each tried something different, and all three were decadent, to put it mildly.
The staff deserve some great props for everything.

Fantastic experience and absolutely serving staff make the difference between good enough and great. JP was outstanding both in service and anticipating the needs of the customer. Kudos JP and thanks - you made a difference

Tasty food at a good price. We had the chicken and sausage gumbo and fish and chips. Both delicious and decent portions. The nitro stout and hazy ale were nice compliments. Also loved having the ducks for company.

Faultline Brewing Company is a fine dining experience that focuses on food and brew pairings. It's rustic, industrial-chic decor is beautifully accented by wood, steel pipe and floor-to-ceiling glass windows. Half of the brewery is dedicated to an upscale restaurant, while the other half is an open bar setting. The bar area feels intimate with views overlooking the brew-house and features 20 flat screen TVs. Along with a full drink menu and plenty of house made beers. The large dining room is spacious with lakeside views. Their outdoor patio is an ideal date spot, as it is surrounded by lush trees, blooms and carpet roses. Enjoy the artisanal beers and tasty menu options. The "begging" ducks outside want to make sure you don't take home any leftovers. Faulltline Brewing has happy hour from 4pm to 6pm, $5 pints on Thursday and $2 Taco Tuesday specials. As well as, live music on the weekends. To create the perfect date, take advantage of their featured specials and get to know each other on the patio. IG: SACRAMENTOHONEY
