Canyon Club Brewery

I had driven by here and wanted to check it out with my wife as it looked like a fun place to sit and unwind with a flight and a meal. The place is decorated for a nice fun atmosphere. I noticed how much outdoor seating was available, though we sat inside on this visit. Looked at some of the weird 1 star review claims about a lack of physical menu's, slow, service, and paying/tipping upfront and there was none of that when we went. Yes, there's a QR code menu on the tables, but when we asked for physical menus they were perfectly accommodating and gave them to us without issue. The server even took our order directly when I had a question about customizing my flight order. We each ordered a flight, some apps, and shared an entrée & desert. Food came out to our table quickly, and was delicious and fresh tasting. The Angry Wings were better than many other breweries I've had wings at. Bathrooms each have their own fun theme to them. Women's is Princess Bride themed, while the men's is Big Labouski themed. Pricing was standard, not overpriced. This place would be great to hold group events with friends at, I'll definitely be returning!

Idk I felt like this place rocks. Good yummy beer great bar food awesome tv with the game on I mean what more could you want. Also really dog friendly. I don’t get why this place doesn’t have better reviews, for a sports bar it hits it out of the park. I got a bulgogi sandwhich that was awesome. Also had some wings that were meaty and delicious as well. We sat by the fire as a group of 4 and had a great time after a hike. I’m def coming back.

Excellent food and drinks. 9 out of 10 for us. One point deducted from a slow service. We waited a half hour for our beers. It happened twice. Food is amazing though. I love the atmosphere of this place. Strongly recommend!

Wow - what an amazing spot! Stellar service and very covid conscious - find a seat and scan the menu - order online, put in your table number and boom. So convenient, it's crazy. I had the "Canyon Club Burger" with avocado and bacon added and it was delicious. I was also a big fan of their porter. Can't wait to come back here! Bathrooms are super cool too 😂.

Fantastic place. Nice and friendly people. Luke is a fantastic host. It was our first time in there and he couldn’t treat us better than how he behaved. Great environment. Lovely southern music. Strongly recommended

Great place to hang outside. Plenty of seating. Live music quite often. They have tasty beer! I had the burger and wife had the fish n' chips, both were great.

Great ambiance! Big area outside to hang out with lots of types of seating options. Cooler in the building if it is a hot day! All staff was quick and helpful. The cherry cider was quite tasty. The bartenders are happy to pour you a taste if you want to try first. The pretzels come with a mustard butter which is more butter than mustard but it's quite delicious. The chicken sandwich had a bit of a kick but was a little hard to eat due to the size of the piece of chicken. Chicken was nice and crispy. Sandwich arrived piping hot. Fries were tasty too.

As a Moraga native, I can't help but be excited about the Canyon Club; it's a fantastic new addition to a town that has held onto its timeless charm for decades. The brewery's diverse drink menu caters to all tastes. While I'm a big fan of their kombucha and enjoy sipping on champagne, the real treat is their craft beer. However, their kombucha and bubbles provide a refreshing alternative for those seeking a non-alcoholic option. The food menu is equally impressive. The tacos are bursting with flavor (I typically order them grilled), and the fried chicken sandwich is a crowd-pleaser. They've truly mastered the art of pairing great food with great drinks. I'd also highly recommend their Barvarian pretzels with beer cheese. Another aspect I truly love about this place is the local merchandise they offer. From stylish shirts and cozy sweatshirts to mugs, disc frisbees, and hats, it's impossible to leave without finding a souvenir that suits your taste while of course representing Moraga. Don't forget to ask for free stickers! The staff here consistently deliver a positive and fun atmosphere. Whether it's the bartender recommending the perfect brew or the servers ensuring we have everything we need, the service is top-notch. Their outdoor seating area is a true gem. It exudes a comfortable, laid-back vibe that makes us feel right at home. It's the perfect place to relax, unwind, and enjoy a sunny afternoon. I can't forget to mention the bathrooms - they're like no other. The guys' bathroom is a tribute to The Big Lebowski, complete with quirky decor that puts a smile on your face. On the other hand, the women's bathroom is decked out with a Princess Bride theme, adding a touch of whimsy to the experience. I’ve noticed that a majority of the clientele hails from the Lamorinda area, making it feel like a closely-knit community hangout. It's the kind of place where you can strike up a conversation with friendly locals or simply enjoy some quality time with your loved ones. In summary, this Canyon Club is a hidden gem that I'm happy to call my go-to spot. If you haven't visited yet, it's definitely worth a trip to experience its unique charm and positive vibes.

Slightly less personal experience with QR ordering system, but nonetheless efficient and solid service. Would be nicer if at least one staff was floating around to check in/follow up with customers during dining experience. Good beer selection and reasonable prices for the area, great outdoor seating - dog friendly and kid friendly. We'll be back!

Had an amazing experience last Saturday evening with family and friends at Canyon Club Brewery. The service was excellent and the food delicious!  Not being much of a beer drinker, I was happy to have had great wine & cocktail options to choose. Also, the live music made the experience complete. The music duo, Tawnee & Steven were interacting with the audience and sounded amazing! Outside under the trees and stars, families, dogs and happy people.  Definitely going back!  Only suggestion is to get there early so you can grab a table. 😀

I'm so glad we finally got to try this place. We came here for lunch on a weekday holiday, and there was a good-sized crowd. I'm partial to dark beers, and their porter and brown ale are solid choices. For the food, we had garlic parmesan wings, a salad, and the pretzels. All were tasty and came quick. I do want to try their chicken sandwich next time, which I heard is pretty amazing. Service was friendly and efficient. Overall, it was a very good experience. The outdoor space looks really great. We will bring our dogs next time.

It's a brewery and restaurant with most Mexican and American cuisines in a great casual setting. Indoor and outdoor seatings. Full bar. Live music Friday and Saturday nights. Great selection of beers. Outdoor seating with fire pits and big screens. Very decent and clean settings for outdoor gathering. Indoor has bar, tables and big bench. Service is quick and welcoming. Free parking lot and accessible with flat and wide entry or outdoor seating.

Pros: The chicken sandwich was FABulous; the beer-battered situation is creative & distinguishes it from the standard. Garlic fries were abundant & worth the up-charge. Salad was good, dressed well. Pretzels were the second highlight of the meal; mustard & beer cheese both well executed. Bartender gal was friendly and attentive. Big fan of her service. Low Points- The burger wasn’t up to expectation. Patty was small. Nothing unique to this burger. Root Beer - good flavor, a bit flat. NA selection - wish there was more than one NA Lager choice, but what was present was great! Would return.

Great atmosphere. Yummy food! A group of us visited after a lovely hike nearby. We sat inside due to the cold weather. Surprisingly quiet inside. I was expecting not to be able to hear each other over the chatter of others. Staff were friendly but very busy. Getting their attention took some work. I'm not a fan of QR Code ordering. Missing the human interaction with staff. I wished they had paper menus so not everyone was staring at their phones at the table. Our table had the big a$$ quesadilla, brussel sprouts, kids tenders, kids hotdog, fish and chips and some non alcoholic beverages. Fold will definitely bring me back. The brussel sprouts were a huge hit around the table. I'd visit for those alone. Portions are huge. You can definitely share the quesadilla between 2 people. Food tasted fresh. The plating was very appealing. Hoping to try the pretzels next visit. Outdoor seating looked comfy. Looks like a hot spot when the weather is warm again. While they did have heaters outdoors it was cozier inside. Glad to see Moraga getting more great restaurants in town.

It’s really great to have a beer spot in Moraga and there’s nice indoor and outdoor space. Beer selection is solid. Maybe a dozen beers on tap. Service is a little slow, but they are new and hopefully will work out the kinks. Food: Menu is very limited. We tried the fried chicken sandwich and burger. Both could be radically better with one small tweak - they need SALT. The chicken sandwich was pretty amazing in terms of freshness, texture and size but was bland. The burger was not as good but again could have been much better with some seasoning. Also, Canyon folks can you please put salt and pepper shakers on the tables? Overall happy to have this spot in the neighborhood and hoping it just gets better from here.

So enjoyable, i believe everything is tasty i got the fish n chips i liked it, i wish the bar seats are more comfortable and that is all.

Food was really tasty, and staff were attentive and friendly. The outdoor fireplace was a treat. Not many Gluten-free options.

Great Hard Kambucha, Asian nuts and Asian wings. Easy good food, staff was efficient. Pretty good, fun family atmosphere.

We go to the Canyon club pretty often as we have family around. It's usually pretty crowded as it is one of the few bars in the neighborhood. Be prepared to wait if you don't have prior reservation. They usually have live music and it is a great spot to hang out, specially if the weather is good. We had the veggie tacos and the meatless burger. It wasn't great. The salad was probably the best. They have a wide range of beers, we had the flight to try some out.

The beer is great. The fries are some of the best. The vibes are great. The three stars, though, are for every other item on the menu that I've tried (hamburger, veggie burger, pasta of the week, and cauliflower wings) being aggressively mediocre to bad. It's really disappointing. But again, great beer. Great fries. So, three stars.

We’ve wanted to try this place for a long time and we were very disappointed with the experience. The place is gorgeous but the service and food were so bad. It’s a personal preference but I really don’t enjoy ordering and paying at the table with your phone. I had a few questions before ordering so this wasn’t ideal because we couldn’t find anyone. We had two burgers and both were ice cold ( cheese not melted) and way undercooked. I ordered medium and it was raw. The bun was also super soggy and bloody from the juice. Also my husband’s drink tasted really bad like cleaning fluid. I don’t mind paying $25 for a burger but when it’s good. Our bill was over $70 for two burgers and drinks that we didn’t even touch.

Food was bland, the fries tasted like someone had purposely sabotaged them. Service was pretty good which is why i left a 2 but man was i disappointed with the food. Maybe it was an off night? or maybe i pissed off the chef ? can’t tell but i won’t be back
