Fun place with life band playing outside over the weekend. Place has a wide selection of beers and snacks to make your evening pleasant. Although missed my hefeweizen so there is a need! to come back for verification to bring up the rating.Pricewise a bit on the higher side, however averaging same across Walnut Creek.Two levels of indoor seating with outside patio and big parking lot party zone over the weekend.

My favorite and go to place for my beer needs. Ownership and staff are knowledgable, fun, and very friendly. Great place to have a beer, catch a game, meet with friends, order pizza or get some beer to go. Great variety of beers from all over. Trust me when I say that you need to go here.

Rotator is always a great experience. The hardest part is choosing between the long list of great selections of draft.The friendly service and ability to buy single cans is appreciated.

Yup. Love this place. And the beer selection for cans is one of the best in the east bay.

Been coming here for awhile now, pre and post pandemic. Before, it was a great place to try local brew, relax, watch the game, without worrying about people getting wrecked on hard alcohol.Now, its a great place where I can go pick up a bunch of beer to bring home that takes every precaution to ensure I have a safe experience. Usually dogs there too which is a plus.Id recommend it to anyone in the East Bay looking for a down to earth taproom.

We love going to Rotator Taproom! They always have so many amazing beers on tap and available for purchase. I have described what type of beer I am in the mood for and they have poured me beers that are spot-on. Great beers, nice workers AND dog friendly...What more could you ask for!

Great Selection of beers. Various activities are offered such as an old school arcade game, darts, BP, and pool. Bartender was super friendly and helped my group find our perfect beer(s) for the night. Will be going back again soon for sure.

Review №24

Its really in the middle of nowhere and thats good. Beer selection is good. The mandatory 10 dollar food truck coupon is the only sore point. Retro Club round the corner does not force a 10 dollar food truck coupon but just enforces that you buy something from the food truck.

Amazing selection of beers and great neighborhood atmosphere!

Great selection of brews, the lady bartenders at night is a but strange, seems like she is too busy trying to get attention that realizing she should have called last call and allowed the patrons to get their last orders in

Several of us went to see my friends in Lumberyard play at their anniversary celebration a few weeks ago. There were probably 30+ people waiting to order something from the bar at any given time from the two people working there that night. I spent more time waiting for service the two times I ordered than I did watching the band. Around 45 minutes waiting each time. Absolutely ridiculous. People were getting really frustrated with the slow service. I think that their electronic ordering system on tablets is part of the problem. Why so understaffed and ill prepared at a planned event with a popular band? They probably could have doubled or tripled their sales that night if they had their act together. Bizarre!

Amazing gem in Walnut Creek! They have the best beer, awesome team, really cool environment with a game room! They have trivia, family feud and live music too. I definitely feel like home when I’m here and love being able to try several great local beers in one spot versus going to a brewery.

The best thing about this place is they let you bring your dog. Its adorable! Good beer selection but thats not hard. The off the beaten track warehouse is a chill vibe. Not fake cool like most WC things.

The place is okay, but you now have to buy $5 extrem pizza. They wont let you get Pinkys $10 anymore or the bag of chips. I understand with COVID that you must do food, but I would of stayed and bought beer if I could of got Pinkys.In response to rotator response: We where told no matter what we had to buy the $5 one that there was no other option. Was your staff wrong?

Review №45

My mom told me many times. If you dont have anything good to say dont say anything. Sorry radiator Taproom at least I didnt take pictures because I post comments on every picture.. It just wasnt my kind of place. Other people there seemed to enjoy this place. If it werent for that it would have been one star. Okay one thing I didnt like the attitudes of the main bartender had whatsoever. I didnt even want to check the place out but somebody gave me a Bear coupon and theyre like what do you have a credit card first. I was really put off by that. Maybe its just this new generation I dont know. Service has to be like this at a lot of newer places it deems like.

Ryan and his staff hosted our group of 20 this week for a wonderful evening event! We scheduled from afar, and when we showed up, the staff and hospitality was great! Nice selection of beers and snacks; then the Beer School event was awesome!Thanks!!

Attended their 1 year anniversary event on my first visit to this spot. Service was slow. Definitely needed more people behind the bar for an event like this - they were not prepared. The best part of my experience were the tacos they had catered in. I’ll be back when the tacos are!

Rotator Taproom is a great place to meet friends for a beer. They have a good selection of local brews and a casual atmosphere. Their roll up wall is wonderful in summer but a bit chilly in winter, so bring your coats. They have a front room with pool, darts, and foosball which is always appreciated. You can also order pizza from Pinkys and theyll deliver it to you in no time. Overall, Id recommend it.

Went to the Catalina beer mixer event for SF beer week and seemed dead with nothing going on just a normal day at the taproom seemed misleading. The male server was rude with attitude and no help. The guest beers were good but wouldnt go back again.
