A+ beer spread on tap and canned to-go options, pet friendly, and nearby restaurants deliver onsite. The couple times I’ve gone for NFL Sunday Ticket and New Year’s Day college playoff games have been 10/10. The wifey and I love trying out different restaurants, bars, and breweries around the WC area for Sunday Funday Football, and I wish we came across this place sooner. Laid back locals feel, multiple large 4K TV’s, and they played game audio on great speakers. Ample seating throughout and indoor heating felt cozy amidst these recent brisk winter days. Last time out, we brought our French Bulldog pup to socialize her and we ended up having a super friendly conversation with one of the owners and his wife. Looking forward to our next time out

We enjoyed our beers (and a cider) and the food from the food truck. I have never seen a chicken nugget vending machine before, so it was interesting that they had that. They also had pita chips with hummus. We had food truck food though. They had a good schedule of food trucks posted on their Web site under events. The service at the bar was friendly, with lots of choice of drinks. Parking was easy (street parking with meters).

Played a bit of bingo (Thursday nights I believe) and had some great beer. Awesome local selection of craft beers and the food truck was great as well.

Great staff. Great rotation of beers. Very fair and equitable with different NFL teams on which is greatly appreciated.

Sit down and talk to people who enjoy beer. Life doesn't get better and Rotator Taproom is full of great people in an rather industrial environment that feels like a being in a small mountain town. Bring your dog.

Best beer spot in Walnut Creek, and it's not even close. Only thing that kinda sucks is parking (paid, meters on street). Excellent service and always-rotating selection; highly recommend.

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.

Awesome spot for an amazing selection of brews you might not find at other locations. The food trucks they have on rotation will definitely satisfy. Drew and Hannah are awesome and make great recommendations if you're not sure what you are in the mood for and are extremely knowledgeable, which goes for all the the staff there. Everyone there is very helpful and knowledgeable and helpful and just a great atmosphere. Very comfortable walking in there

Rotator Taproom is the closest thing we have to Ted Danson and Cheers on the West Coast (pun intended). Their kegs pour steadily, therefore the beer is always fresh. Let’s be honest, though… You can pretty much go anywhere these days if you know how to read a map and enjoy delicious beer. What sets Rotator aside from the rest - in the best category alone - is the people. They’re the ones who make the Taproom so darn special. From the Owners > Employees > Customers > Food Truck Vendors > the list continues… you’ll always have a great experience. Trust me. For any other information, call me. If you don’t have my number, sorry.

Great place to hang with friends. They always have quality draft and to go options.

If you're looking for relaxed local vibe. solid beer selection, not big on ambiance..this is the place. Chill. Always able to find street parking. Beer selection changes with large electronic menu of the selections. Bartenders fine with samples and offering suggestions. Trivia night there is fun and easy spot to watch games although priority is on beer not tvs. They have to-go fridge with nice little selection. Food depends on who has the food truck out front and is typically good

Nice small venue brewery with open front and outside tables. Great selection of craft beer. I had 4.2 and a 4.8 lighter brew lager. My son had a heavier style beer. About 20 different beers to choose from. Great service with nice friendly servers. Cool little place.

Solid beer lineup and laid-back vibe. Good selection of beers with a standout hazy IPA. The taproom has both indoor and outdoor seating, which is a nice plus. Service was good, and the beers were even better

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

Great beer selection but playing super emo downtrodden music when I went. Not cool emo like upbeat punk, like actual emo like why do I feel so sad? Everyone was just starting sadly into their beer. They have a fried chicken vending machine which is so sick tho. Fix the music and woulda got 5 stars but as it was had to go somewhere else before I became clinically depressed or fell asleep into my beer.

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.

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! Update: My friends in Lumberyard played there again so I went with an open mind and gave Rotator another chance. I’m not really a beer person so later in the evening I went in and picked out a can of seltzer out of their fridge and took it to the bar. This time there’s no line at all. I’m the only one waiting for service. The guy behind the bar, who seemed like he might be intoxicated, was chit-chatting with some other people and took his time before coming over and offering to help me. My friends are playing and I just want to back outside. Bar guy: Is that all you want? Me: That’s it. Bar guy: That’ll be $7. Me: Here you go, can I get a cup of ice? Bar guy: We don’t have ice. Me: Really? No ice? Bar guy: Nope. Me: Then I don’t want it. I push back the unopened can. Bar guy: F**k you! Me: Seriously? Bar guy: Yeah, take your money. Me: I’m going to quote you on that. Bar guy: Fine, do that. I took my money and left. I’m posting another photo. It’s the guy in the red hat. Strike two Rotator Taproom. Unbelievable! Hard to believe you’re still in business.
