Øl is an terrific place to stop to find great beers that are hard to find in other places. I particularly enjoy the stouts and porters that they stock. They seem to rotate through a lot of local beers so it can be a bit difficult to find the same thing twice, but that gives you an opportunity to try new things.Love the atmosphere.

Great beer spot especially for Belgian beers. Their bottle and tap selection is amazing. I had a great experience here and plan on going back.

Always a great place to go for a few drinks ! They always have something good even for my husband and I who dont drink IPAs

Place is clean and has a good feel. Prices are a little on the steep side for the draft brews. Great variety of beers available. Plenty of bottles available if thats what you are looking for.

LOVE this place! Excellent beer collection, super chill vibe. You can get pizza from next door, grab some board games and hang out with your friends while drinking delicious beer. Chill at the bar and strike up a conversation with a stranger.

Fantastic selection of different beer types from around the globe, either on tap or in bottls/cans. Great vibe, relaxed customer base, and extremely knowledgeable and friendly staff. A hidden gem and regular stop for any beer fans in the CoCo County/Diablo Area.

Met up with a group at skipollinis on a tuesday & quickly left as their beer selection SUCKS! This place is right next door & man were we all impressed. They have an incredible selection both on tap & in bottle. Liked the semi private little room back by bar. Can purchase cans/bottles to go! Server was very knowledgable, helpful & personable. Can bring in outside food. 21+! Wheelchair accessible. Highly recommend & will definatly be back!

Great spot for craft beer. Draft options tend to be different from other local pubs, and they have a huge bottle selection. They also serve good paninis, and will order you pizza from next door.

I love this place. About 20 rotating taps, a well curated selection of bottles and cans for take home or enjoying on the venue. Small food menu of meat and cheese plates, but there are ample food options on the block and they are not averse to you bringing in a pizza from Skipolinis next door. Limited street parking, but there is a parking garage nearby and only a few blocks from the Walnut Creek BART station.

Wasnt expecting this beer list in WC! Good (not great) selection of taps and bottles.Take a look at their closeouts on the floor. Really good deals 😉The food menu is small but enough to make you happy.The name Øl (beer in danish) is easy and sounds classy... it also reminds me of the danish brewery To Øl.

One of my favorite places in the world. I miss it so much. Warm vibrations and amazing atmosphere. Topped off with amazing and personable humans giving amazing costumer service. Music is always amazing. And the BEER. Unique small batch, mostly local, brewers with a passion for the craft.

Amazing atmosphere and a wonderful selection of beers. Many taps available with something for everybody. And if you dont like whats on tap, there are lots of cold cans and bottles to choose from. The staff is all super friendly and happy to answer questions and help you find a beer youll like. They also have lots of bottles and cans available to take home. This is my favorite place to get a beer in Walnut Creek, no doubt!

One of the best craft beer places in walnut creek area. Always a had good time here. Service is good. You can bring your own pizza here from skipollini next door.

Pizza and great selection of beer. The pizza comes from next door restaurant and it is delicious. Beers that I often find trouble to find in other Brew pubs they often have it, and bartender is happy and knowledgeable to help you to find a tap beer that you enjoy or even come around to the fridge and help you to find a bottled beer. Atmosphere is relaxing to have a conversation with a few friends and often you can easily find a table

This place has a large bottle selection of unusual and varied beers from around the world, with several great beers on tap and a few wines and ciders for non beer drinkers. They have some small appetizers on the menu, and they allow food from outside. Some nights they have live music, and when there isnt they play music over speakers. It can get a bit loud, but the atmosphere is nice.

Great beer and cool spot!

My favorite beer spot in Walnut Creek. They have a diverse list of great craft beer that rotates frequently as well as a curated bottle selection. And the vibe is completely chill; more like a coffee house than a bar. Ive often brought a book to enjoy with my beer, and Ive seen everything from laptops to board games from other patrons. They dont really have food, but you can order pizza from Skipolinis next door. Plus a host of meet the brewer events throughout the year.

Great place for craft beers, import and domestic!!!

Always a great selection and friendly staff. They are open and have tables outside, come see them.

The Best, knowledgeable and thoroughly stocked craft beer cafe in the area.Every type of beer your heart desires, cider, pizza, great atmosphere, with personable and friendly staff.Every time I have gone in ive gotten something new, and I am never disappointed.Management has done a superb job.

A perfect balance of variety and quality. You will encounter old favorites, up and coming breweries, and in all likelihood learn something new regardless of experience level. This place stands on its own...skipolinis next door takes it up three notches.

Best bottle shop in the East Bay. Hands down.Occasionally carries Cantillion. Great selection of local craft beer and the food is decent for pub grub.Worth a stop if you love beer.

Probably my favorite beer spot in Walnut Creek. The atmosphere is cozy, with bar and table seating. Their beer on tap selections usually have good variety. They also have a TON of beer on shelves and in a refrigerator. The bottle shop beers have 2 prices, one to drink there and a lower price if you take it to go (usually a couple dollars less) Øl has several games like exploding kittens and cards against humanity if your looking to entertain a group.

.best place to buy beer.

Good beer at a fair. Their food was delicious too. - so much enjoyed it. Definitely a must visit pub.

Yes. Classy. Moody. Very beautiful. The beer selection is beautiful and accommodating to all kinds of beer drinkers and enthusiasts. The place gets busy so the waiters arent the fastest to get to, but they are always really nice and interested in the beer they serve. Its a great place for a date or just to hang with friends. Try the pepper pizza because its delicious and will melt your face with awesome. My favorite part is how they print their daily menu which changes and always seems to give a fresh selection of beer to choose from.

They have a really great selection of beers from allover to purchase and take home. They also serve beer on tap and have a small menu for food. This is a really great hidden gem in downtown Walnut Creek. Love this place!

Wow. Wow. Also, wow. What a fantastic little spot. Phenomenal draft selection, great can/bottles choices to drink on site or to go, with separate prices for each as it should be. Visiting for work and have been here 4 times now, seeing maybe 6 different staff, all of them were friendly and helpful.The location is great, its kind of hidden away but in a popular area (many food choices nearby). Warm, cozy and a good volume level. They have a good sized cold beer selection and even more on the shelves warm. Youd be hard pressed to come here as a craft beer drinker and leave without finding a lot youd like to take home.Not sure about pricing, Im visiting so I cant make any direct comparisons. Im guessing a little pricey but honestly for what theyre offering Im not complaining. Ill be here numerous times during my stay and Im glad I found them. Three thumbs up.

Used to like it. If you like 9 dollar beers than it’s okay. We were told to leave because we had a 3 month old who was sleeping in her stroller. So any parents wanting to visit, you will be turned away.

Definitely a hidden gem for beer lovers in Walnut Creek. They offer a great selection of specialty and hard to find peers on tap, and in the bottle for retail sales.I wish they had a broader food selection but thats not why you come here. They have a very limited kitchen area with a corresponding limitation on food selection. But they made an arrangement with Skipolinis next door for a few pizza selections.But if youre looking for a great, relaxing place to have exceptional beers away from the typical Locust Street crowd, this is your spot.

Great little beer cafe and shop thats hidden away. Decent selection of brew from all over the U.S. Staff was very friendly and helpful in suggesting beers that you might like.Really enjoyed trying the salted scotch ale from Middlebrow - ad astra. If they still have it try it!Thanks for the beer!

Great place for those who enjoy the taste of real beer. Excellent on tap selection. Friendly service is also a big Plus.

Cozy spot for good craft beer. My glass did seem to empty quickly. Sad.

The most laid back atmosphere and chill, friendly staff.

OL is awesome; a diverse and changing variety of craft beers for every taste. You can purchase bottles to go as well. Some food items in the menu are from neighboring restaurants, great idea.

Excellent selections, cool vibe.Limited bites but you can also bring your own food. Perfect spot for Beer School

This place is cool. Was here on St Patricks day and it had a good vibe. Cool merch in the shop too. Cool place to hang out with friends and have a beer or two (or more) in Walnut Creek.

Been going here since they opened it way back when. An awesome addition to Walnut Creek, great dark atmosphere for having a drink. Good selections, but I personally think they could use a few more IPAs on the menu.Its great that they let you bring in a pizza from next door though. Cant beat that.

5/20/13SORRY ABOUT YOUR WINE GLASSSo I guess I should be impressed by all the beers available here, but Im not all that excited about this place. If I want a good beer variety in the future, Ill probably be more likely to drive to Port Costa than return here.The positives of our experience include that the server suggested a beer which I really enjoyed. My beer, husbands beer, a cheese plate and a couple glasses of wine totalled $48. I want service that parallels that price. We had to ask twice for the cheese plate and twice for one of the glasses of wine. I hate having to ask twice. Twice.The cheese plate did not have hummus (like the one pictured as the Cafes first picture) and our crackers were awful (nothing like the artisan ones pictured in that same first pic). The cheese was okay, and there was lots of good olives and a couple cranberries on the plate as well. Not long after the plate arrived, a wine glass was knocked over and broke, spilling wine and glass around the table. The plate and wine were cleared which sucks because I know it was our fault, but lots of places will bring you another beer if you spill yours... or at least a partial beer (wine in this case).We didnt sit at the bar so perhaps our distant staff experience relates to this. Ill give it another try some other evening, but if I want a beer on a beautiful afternoon, Im definitely going to Port Costa.

Great brewpub. Theres a wide selection of beer on-tap, and I really liked the tavern-style decor.

The beer selection was unique and they had St. Bernardus Belgium beer! Delicious beers, great atmosphere, and trivia nights during the week!

Nice atmosphere, friendly staff. Quiet place to chat.

Beers from all over the world. Little pricey but outstanding beers from lagers to porters to sours. Enjoy responsibly.

A fun and near unique experience in Walnut Creek. An employee pulled up a chair to sit with us and listen to our preferences and make recommendations. We loved everything that was recommended.

It was a great visit and we really had a great time.They have a really great selection of beers from all over to purchase and take home. They also serve beer on tap and have a small menu for food.

Friendly, cozy and kinda loud place with lots of good beer. Food menue very limited but the pizza is good. :-)

A cafe of beer! Like Starbucks for beer, you can work on laptop while enjoying a beer. No kids allowed. Good variety of choices. Wish they had Stienerboch tho.

Best beer selection in the East Bay of smaller craft brewers. Emphasis on limited distribution brewers and Belgian style. No TV so you need to speak with people, read the paper, or fiddle with your phone. Pizza available from next door, some chips, etc. both draft and bottles for consumption on site. And bottles to take out.

Great place to try some great beers from around the world. The bottle shop prices are often better than bevmo and its also a great bar.

Yes. Just Yes.

Best Beer Experience so far in California and Texas combined - I have tried a bunch of breweries.

I always enjoy this place, small little bottleshop with plenty of taps to wet your whistle

Awesome place to have a beer and meet new people. Would highly recommend going here if you want great quality beer and great service.

Fantastic selection and knowledgeable, friendly staff, this is a great place to try interesting new beers. Can get very loud and crowded, but you can order a pizza from next door!

Awesome and laid back, there is a wide selection of draft or bottled beers. Love this place and love the location.

Sat at the bar and enjoyed liquid hops and good conversation. A decent selection of craft beers; there is something here for everyone!

Just Terrific. So good. Highly recommend. You know, I like beer and they have really, really huuge selection of beer. Grab em by the bottle or draft.

Between what is on tap and in the refrigerated cases and open shelves, this bottle shop has a huge selection. I wish they had a system to track what is available in the refrigerated cases and shelves on line. The cheese flight with the beer flight was so good.

Great local pub with about taps of out of the ordinary beers local and otherwise and knowledgeable staff. Nice selection of beers to take home too.

Good beer selection. Can order pizza from next door to have with the beer. Classy stuff

Excellent choice of craft beer. I love the bottled beer choice available. The seating area is nice and casual.

Great, and the skipolinis next door will let you bring pizza over

Mellow beer garden type shop with ~15-20 beers on tap in a rotating selection, along with a few fridges stocked with cold items and another few racks of unchilled selection. If youre looking for a beer and a place to chill, hard to go wrong here

Most interesting beer selection in walnut creek

Its like Beer Revolution came over the hill. But its better because its not crammed full of people. I like the beer selection better too.

Related to the Trappist and Mikkeler, this place is a a little slice of beer geek heaven. Bartenders are knowledgeable and helpful. Enjoy.

Amazing!

Relaxed, friendly, clean, and a nice selection on tap. Can be tough to find a spot for four, so be prepared to make new friends! Live music Tuesdays.

Big selection and variety of beers. Its a good sized place, but probably not great for bigger crowds. The beer and wine is great and you can bring in any outside food you want or order off their menu (including Skipolinis delivery from next door).Overall, a solid place for a beer selection thats different from every other bar in town.

Captures a unique European feel. Great beer selection as well.

Expensive, but great beers. I came here with family and we had a fun time. Honestly, the prices kept most of us to one beer. If you are hungry, you can order a pizza to be brought in.

Good selection of draft beers and they also have a little shop with an even bigger selection of bottled beer. The to-go prices are about 25% less than what you would pay to drink there. The noise level is average for a place like this. They play music but it is at a nice low level. Most of the existing noise comes from customers talking and laughing. Overall I really like the place. Whether you are interested in beer or just want to enjoy a night out, Øl is a great place to visit. By the way, Øl (pronounced oel) is Danish for beer. (it means oil in German but thats another story)

Amazing selection of beers. Great knowledgeable service.

Great craft beers on tap. Usually a few good Belgian selections as well.

Pronounced like the OL in COOL, this spot is a remarkable example of a european beer hall. Its fun and the little bottle shop is worth a peek, too.

Well curated beer list and a decent selection of ciders but the small plates are pricey. The servers (Danny especially) are friendly, knowledgeable and personable.

Great Beer and very knowledgable bartenders. My favorite spot for good real Belgian beer.

Craft beer on tap. Great place to hangout & have a couple excellent well made brews

If you like wide selection of small craft beer go here. Its quiet, clean, and excellent customer service

Great selection of craft beer

As ever, impeccable and knowledgeable service of decent beers. Cant ask for more.

Walking in, the decor was amazing, the bartender was extremely knowledgeable about all the 50+beers, I will absolutely come back on a regular basis

Wondderful selection of beers and friendly service!

This is always a great place to hang out....they know their beers

The beeristas are always great. They are good about answering questions and sampling out if you are not quite sure what you might fancy. Theres plenty of seating weekday nights but good luck on the weekends. Not a big food menu either, skippolinis pizza next door does deliver there! (As long as they are still open for the night I think, I donxt know how the skipps thing works when they close for the evening.)

So many beers! Very cozy spot. Pretty pricey.

Never heard of beers poured in chunky glasses with rustic furniture & great staff.

Great selection of craft beer, both on tap and in the bottle room. Selection rotated regularly.

Great beer selection with a specialty in stouts and Belgians from what I could tell on my first visit. 21 and older only.

Great selection, but get ready to pay $7+ for each beer.

Beers on tap, bottles to go and you can get a Skipolinis Pizza brought over from next door too! Staff there knows craft beer and are very friendly.

7 years and still the best place for beer in WC

Chill vibes, nice beer selection. 18 taps!

Great selection! If youre a beer enthusiast its a must!

Decent selectionKinda stiff; its not wine folks

Very chill beer cafe. They have a fridge full of beer that you cant really get. Very chill vibes.

Amazing place for a beer, and and amazing selection to enjoy there or take home

Best hot dogs ever!

Excellent selection of craft beers, especially Scandinavian imports!

Tavern feel, great beer choices, friendly customers and staff.
