Hippie, Biker, hideaway. Â You can't find a more eclectic group of patrons. Â This is what diversity is about... Great Bar, Â More types of Beer that I have seen in a long time, they pour Doubles Liquor for there mixed drinks unless you ask for something different.... then on the weekends the dining room is open... its somewhat of a limited menu, but what there is, Â lets say this, if you go home hungry you didn't eat... Prime Rib is my Fav, the Surf and Turf is awesome too... the wait staff are just as eclectic and are fun and sweet.... Â I hit the Warehouse Cafe about once a month... Its a Winner in my book... See y'all soon.
Review Source:"Every drink is a double unless requested" they say in a sign behind the bartender. Beer from tap is poured in a mason jar...that's the kind of place this is. I had a turkey burger and it was surprisingly very good. My buddies had burgers and they said they were pretty decent. They only give you Lay's potato chips with the sandwiches though. It's a cool ride in to this place and it overlooks the Martinez bridge.
Don't plan on anything fancy, it is what it is...and that's a pretty cool hangout spot.
We absolutely love coming here. Â It takes 45 minutes to drive out from Discovery Bay but it's always worth it. Â I've been coming here since the mid '80's and it's still one of my favorite places to eat. Â The food is consistently great. Â I almost always order the shrimp scampi. Â We have now introduced the cafe to our 5 year old son and he, of course, loves looking at the live, pick-your-own lobsters and the polar bear. Â This restaurant is a treasure in our Bay Area.
Review Source:Absolutely terrific prime rib, and the NY Strip (1 POUND) was pretty tasty too. Â Great friendly service that was non obtrusive, but very helpful whenever you needed anything. This Warehouse provides a very unique urban feel, yet you are in a tiny hamlet of 200 people known as Port Costa - nestled between the coastal hills against the busy railroad tracks on the shores of Carquinez Straits. Â Â DEFINITELY worth going back!
Review Source:We were invited to celebrate with friends there. I arrived and thought what is this place? It is at the end of the world!!!! You walk in a huge room that is partitioned into restaurant area, a bar, pool table and arcades. There is a patio to sit out too.
This place is very laid back! The service at the bar was not the best, but the restaurant was very accommodating (we were a large group with wild running children). Food was good, large portions and no one got sick!
The kids had a blast there, the adults had a blast there. I think I would return for sure.
You'll love this place if:
You like kitschy, nostalgic and vintage things.
You like a local, fun crowd.
You want to see a polar bear.
You like bikers - bicyclists and motorcyclists.
You want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city or want a change of scenery.
Drinks are pretty stiff here. The kitchen had limited options but you can always meander to Bull Valley Road House.
We made a scene by taking over the jukebox and the pool table.
Let's do it again soon. Anyone want to go?
This place is fantastic! I came here for the first time with a couple of friends on a weekday afternoon and was pleasantly surprised!
The other patrons were the kind of people you feel comfortable joking with even though you've never met. The bartender was friendly and filled with laughs, the drinks were delicious and nicely priced, and the atmosphere is beautifully tacky. The giant taxidermy polar bear towards the back may have been my favorite part. :) On a slow afternoon they're more than happy to show you around the back and let you peek into the beautiful wall-to-wall beer cooler. Looking forward to trying this place out on a busy night!
"We pour doubles unless otherwise requested." That's usually a good start to any drinking occasion, right?
Port Costa is my new favorite place, and the balance struck between the Warehouse's gritty raucousness, and Bull Valley's vintage charm makes this a destination for all appetites. Start or finish your night at the Warehouse for pool-playing with the locals, jukebox wars (it's always country vs. hip-hop with our group), and cheap frou-frou drinks reminiscent of a hillbilly Spring Break. It's always lots of fun.
There is a ton of space in here, and the decor reminds me of an old western saloon with carnival-esque flair. The food menu makes fun of bourgie dishes like "Cheese on a Board" (not to be confused with a cheese board, which sounds so pretentious). And wow, the penmanship on their chalkboard menus is impressive.
Throughout the evening, the ominous stuffed polar bear will stare you down from behind his glass case. Sometimes, Port Costa feels so remote you could actually imagine a polar bear wandering through town, before being shot between the eyes, stuffed, and showcased for years to come.
their beer selections is amazing!
we love coming down here, grabbing one of the many beers from the bar and going outside to watch the activity on the delta. ships, kayaks, sea critters. the water is very close so you can easy walk down to it, across the train tracks. the only downside is the drive in, which is pretty but down a narrow, windy road. but i guess thats what also adds to the charm, keeping it semi secluded.
oh, and of course, the stuffed polar bear. :)
Due to my inability to follow instructions I arrived three hours early for the soiree.
I'm fine keeping my own company anywhere unless the voice in my head finds another and sometimes there are three and then it's a cacophony and I have a hard time concentrating. Â On this Saturday afternoon the voices were stilled as my other senses were sufficiently satisfied by the visual and aural feast laid here for apparently anybody and everybody with the adventuring spirit to sample. Â And at 4 on a Saturday that wasn't a ton of people so I had the side of the tall bar to myself until a few hours later when my party arrived on time. Â By 8 the joint was jumping. Â I paced myself like a wise polar bear.
Wise because I got to thinking on the way down that the local constabulary probably had no reason to ply the upper drive, as the asphalt ribbon was itself a tortuous drunk test that if you fail maybe they'll find you a few days later at the bottom of the hill in a little metal pile next to the railroad tracks.
Maybe.
The warehouse at the end of the road next to said tracks isn't as old as the hills, but it's close. Â History sits at the bar and hangs all over the wall and you can procure some random bits for yourself in the little shop if you've lowered your tolerance and have a little extra room in the truck for a clown or dolls heads or all manner other interesting and useful stuff.
I will be back, with a certainty, though in between I may petition Amtrak to consider making this a whistle-stop so as to lower the odds of becoming lonely metal art along the lost coast of the Carquinez.
This place is epic! The first thing you see when you walk in is a biggest stuffed polar bear ever. The décor is a mixture of oddities, knick knacks and taxidermy.
The building itself is huge. It's a full size restaurant and bar with a curiosity shop in the back and a large patio. The regulars / locals are really welcoming.
Booze: I am definitely more of a beer drinker and there are so many good beers to choose from! My friends probably did try every mixed drink on the board and I didn't hear one complaint.
Food: The food is a little expensive but the price is appropriate for the amount of food you get. I split the shrimp scampi with a friend. It came with all-you-can-eat salad, clam chowder and chili. The chowder was amazing. Each dish also comes with sautéed mushrooms and a baked potato. It's a mountain of food but that mountain is really tasty.
Instead of trying to drive home, I highly recommend booking a room at the Burlington Hotel, closing the bar down and stumbling home. This place is so much fun that it would be really hard to leave after only a couple hours.
I was pleasantly speechless when I walked into the cafe. The decoration is very interesting and it's definitely like nothing I've seen in the bay area. There is a live size polar bear, an old movie theater ticket booth and whole bunch of other oddities to see.
The vibe reminds me of Cheers, where everybody knows your name. The crowd is mixed of locals and hipsters and bikers.
Unfortunately we arrived late and couldn't drink much since we still need to drive up the windy road to get home and taxi would cost too much if they even go out here.
As small as this town is with not much to do, it would still be worth an overnight trip just to relax, hang with the locals or just an affordable get away from the hustle and bustle of the bay area.
The food here definitely deserves 4 stars, as does the service. It's definitely a niche restaurant and probably not a place you're going to go to all the time, unless you're super local.
They have an extensive beer selection and knowledgable staff to help you pick the right one for you.
Some details I wish I had read closer from other people's reviews before coming though:
1. Use the restroom at home, before hand. The bathroom stalls do not have doors. And the walls are shorter than normal. Other people will see you doing your business.
2. Menu Options: Lobster or King Crab Legs or Shrimp Scampi or New York Strip or Prime Rib (or Surf and Turf combination of Steak and one of the aforementioned seafoods). All come with salad bar and soup/chili and a baked potato. Cheapest item: $12.95 salad bar (by itself) or $17.95 Shrimp Scampi. I arrived expecting more options than this, and balked slightly at the portion size. (Steaks are all in 1 lb portions.) But you can split an entree and they tack on an extra salad bar when you do that which made the portion more manageable.
Also: If you are coming in a big group for dinner - BRING CASH. They accept credit cards but only up to 2 per group.
This place reminds me of that dive bar that I went to see my friend play a set, very chill and relaxed atmosphere. Â Their selection of bottled beer is very extensive. Â I don't know how I feel about their mixed drinks though. Â The chalkboard said they poured doubles unless otherwise asked. Â I felt nothing, not even a tingle when I drank my fruity drink :T Â So onto the beers! Felt better at the end of the night :)
If you find yourself hungry, make sure you get the NY steak, it comes in a huge slab, smelled delicious and a potato, ayce clam chowder, chili, and salad came with it all for $25.
One thing though, I wish the stalls to the restroom had doors but i guess you can just lock the door behind you, or drink till it doesn't even matter anymore ;D
Best Bar By the Bay!
I love this place. Â It's almost like you are taking a step back in time when you walk through the doors of the Warehouse Cafe.
The bar is amazing with a huge list of beers from around the world, and a usually very friendly bartender who knows how to take care of all the different types of patrons. Â As you walk into the bar, Usually the first thing that I see is a GIANT Polar Bear that is standing up. Â Its not every day that you get to see a stuffed Polar Bear at a bar. Â
Usually the wife and I will order from the bar and head outside where we can soak up the sun and watch the giant boats float down the Carquinez Straits. Â It is a great way to an beautiful California sunny day.
Love love love this place. But let's get one thing straight: you should leave your pretensions at home when you visit the Warehouse. It is the quintessential dive bar, with super-kitsch decor and a predominately blue collar clientele. But there is something here for everyone. For the cerebral types, there is a lot of interesting history about the town of Port Costa to be gleaned from the crazy-friendly staff. Artists are plentiful here for those that want to discuss their newest post-modernist avant garde fully reclaimed creative endeavor (artistic, I am not). There are white-collars to hobnob with if you're into that sort of thing, and there are always groups of down-home, salt of the earth laborers. Degenerate drinkers? Yep, they have those too, and in fact cater to them, what with over 400 beers and drinks that are made double-strength unless otherwise requested. I have made so many amazing friends here that I may not have met through any other avenue, as the Warehouse is uniquely skilled at bringing interesting groups of people together.
And Port Costa...what can I say? It is the cutest little town that time forgot, and I love spending time there. Hiking, fishing, eating, drinking...it has everything I look for in a town, not to mention the "it's ok to not constantly be on your cellphone" vibe. Admittedly, I haven't tried the food here, though I hear varying reviews. Yes it is pricey...know why? Because it can be! When people are stuck in an isolated town that offers only two restaurants, drinking their heads off and in need of a meal...you can charge pretty much whatever you'd like! Expect this going into it. If you don't want to spend the money, eat beforehand and load up on bar snacks.
No matter your budget, lifestyle or social class, there truly is something here for everybody. So go! And tell everyone I say "hello"!
Lunch there last Saturday. 3-4 stars for atmosphere. Great bar with loads of beers to choose from. Cool bartender... pretty brunette 40-50ish. Reminded me of my Aunt Shirley. Anyway my rating is based on food. We arrived 11:30 ish but lunch isn't served until '12-ish' or when they feel like opening. Friendly service but the menu leaves a lot...5 or 6 items only. Burgers were o.k. and my mom enjoyed the steak sandwich. I'd give 2 1/2 stars if possible.
Review Source:You know the prefab strip mall restaurant chains that throw a pile of antique bric-a-brac on the walls for "instant character"? It helps them to a point, but this place is what those places are trying to be. It gives an experience that grew out of time and place, that only exists in this place. Â
You can absorb it from the dusty carnival carvings, oversized glass-enclosed booths and padded seating, joke signs and novelties like boxes of "pecker pasta", and oddities like the giant taxidermied polar bear. Â (It scared my dog when I carried her up close.) Â For extra insight, browse the Wikipedia history for Contra Costa, CA. Â At one time it was a landing for the largest sidewheel paddleboat ever built, a ferry for rail cars of the transcontinental railroad. Â It made this an important spot as America's busiest wheat-shipping port. Â Wiki briefly mentions a "colorful and violent" history that goes along with the mid-19th-century former brothel (now hotel) across the street. Â (The only street.) Â That's quite a background for a town with population of 190. You don't have to research it though, you might also soak it up from the conversation at the bar. Â I heard that the Warehouse Cafe building was the first fireproof building of its kind for storing wheat, which helped it survive several major fires and earthquakes until now. Â
The owner has a Czech background. That goes with the wall signs that reminded me of Prague, Wiki's mention of 24% czech-american population in town, and the abundance of more than 400 kinds of beer. Â The clientele is biker-friendly. Â For music, they like both kinds... country and western. (The pool players treated us to Toby Keith and Johnny Cash).
10-12 of us were on a 60-mile bicycle tour, doing a loop from North Berkeley to Martinez and back. This was our lunch stop. Â Speaking of food, there's a few less than glowing reviews here on Yelp (I'd say a single-street town is not a place to be overly picky though). Â I thought they did fine and thoroughly enjoyed it, especially after hard riding.
For those who got drinks, they offered all-you-can-eat clam chowder and chili. Â We also had 7-8 sandwich choices for lunch, and the French Dip was popular with our bike crew. The mixed drinks list was incredibly tempting. Â I probably should have stayed with 1 of 3 things (a beer, chowder, or a sandwich), but it was too tempting to have it all on this stop, so I pigged out after 20 miles of riding. Â (It put me on the verge of a food coma, and that's a big mistake when the next part of the trip was a punishing climb up the hills to nearby Carquinez scenic trail, with 40 miles left to get home.)
Price wise, it's not small-town cheap, it's just reasonably priced for a unique out-of-the-way destination. Â I thought my lunch was well worth it, and no more expensive than an average restaurant in the city. Â The tank of live lobsters indicated they have more pricey dinner options as well.
It was nice of them to let me carry my small dog inside, past a big sign that said No Dogs. Â I brought her to the bar to ask if it was OK, and they loved her. Â When I put her down on-leash I got a brisk but not-unfriendly warning not to let her run around (expect some personality with the service.)
The next part of our bike trip was another attraction you can only get here, Carquinez Scenic Trail. Â It seemed built for car traffic but the road was so windy and out of the way, that it wasn't possible to maintain well, with parts of the road collapsing off the cliff. Â It's now blocked off only for biking or hiking, and it's really worth a visit if you're nearby.
There's tons of reasons to make a day trip with a pit stop at Warehouse Cafe. Â It's a memorable place I highly recommend.
I've eaten here a few times, it's a pretty cool looking place but you have to be in the mood for the drive. Â For me the issue is, they pour great drinks but I don't drive after drinking so either I have to decide if I want to go ahead and have a cocktail or two and let my crazy roommate drive home or not drink which is one of the only good reasons to go to that place. Â The food is way too expensive but it's good and I justify it by the fact that there is a great all you can eat salad bar that has pretty decent chile and clam chowder as a feature. Â I like that very much. Â
I do love the Polar Bear ....too bad he ended up in a glass case though. Â
Yes I will go again, yes I will suffer the drive to and from because there is something preciously individual about it, unpretentious and completely unique.
Yes, there is an endless selection of beer and the salad bar has upgraded considerably since the Juanita days but what always brings me back is the Warehouse Cafe's PRIME RIB dinner. Carnivores, this is the real thing, a huge slab of meat served with wonderful mushrooms cooked with garlic.The dinners are only served Friday and Saturday nights and if you come with a group over 6 be sure to make a reservation.....if you know you want prime rib...reserve that too!
Review Source:Most obscure and unique bar I've ever seen. There's a giant stuffed polar bear (as in, a polar bear that was once living), crazy decorations and a hodge podge of different types of tables. They serve food twice a week and on Sundays you get free food with your beer. And the beer...well their menu has over 200 different types! Didn't get to stay long as it was a short stop for me, but the ambiance and menu designate it a must return. And, the bar tender was really cool.
Review Source:This place is probably one of my 3 favorite bars(-another being the old Ivy Room which is funny because the bartender now works here)anyways I like it a lot  and I'v been coming here since I was about 18.......oh the fun times I have had here on that teeter totter in the back.
Now that I'm in my 30's it's still fun but I prefer to come earlier in the evening-once the  young hopped up Raiders fans show up it's time to leave. I'v eaten here once and it was good but I'll probably never eat here again, I really like to come here to drink and people watch. BTW I do not suggest doing any hallucenagenics when you come here.
Upgrade of one star due to my blaming the bar for it's patrons points of view. I must have been a little bit grumpy when I wrote this review... Thinking back to that afternoon,,,, those beers were really good. Yeah, I was hasty. Sorry, Warehouse cafe.
It's 9am and now I want a beer....
I struggled with this review. I wavered between 3 and 4 stars, not sure where this place should fit. I went on a Friday night with a small group of people. We were all there for the first time.
The building... as others have noted is so old. And it's filled with random odds and ends. And it doesn't look like anyone has dusted in quite some time.
The drinks... are probably their best feature. They have tons of fun mixed drinks and tons of different beers available. Prices are so-so.
The food... is too expensive. I ordered the NY strip steak and I believe it was $25. My friends ordered the lobster which was even more. I was happy with my steak, they weren't very happy with their lobster which was overcooked. They have a salad bar but it's barren compared to most restaurant offerings. Their chili was very tasty though. I did not try the clam chowder.
The atmosphere... could be good depending on who else is in the bar. While we were there, there was a handful of obnoxious guys hovering over the pool table giving other patrons a hard time who wanted to play pool. I don't know if they were locals and felt like they could bully others or what. Their presence detracted from the ambiance.
The service... was the part I was least happy with. My friends and I felt like we were treated as outsiders. Yes it was our first time there, but most of the staff had a standoffish attitude towards us that didn't make us feel welcome. One bartender, an older gentleman with gray hair, was very friendly and attentive. Props to him. But everyone else that works there wasn't friendly or helpful.
All-in-all I will come back for their beer selection and mixed drinks. But I won't be eating here. And I will lower my expectations for their staff as low as I can go so I'm not disappointed or put off by them. Perhaps this place is so secluded they know you can't walk down the street and go somewhere else? Maybe that's why their effort in customer service is sub-par? Just a thought.
All I remember on our trip to the bar (restaurant was closed) was walking past the polar bear, getting lost in the huge awesome beer and cocktail menu, ordering some retro pink drink from the bartender (who had definitely been working there longer than the drink had existed), and hovering over to the concrete slabs and rickety picnic tables outside. The rest is a blur... but hey, it was a good blur.
This place is totally worth the trip... and if you get carried away, I'm pretty sure the upper level is a hotel. Pure gold.
OK this place is a dive but that isn't necessary a bad thing. You get the impression that it's a rough and tumble type of place and with the wrong crowd it might be but the staff is friendly and the food is plentiful and good. The restaurant is on the bottom floor of a two story building. Parking consisted of a dirt lot filled with pot holes, which at the time were also filled with rain water. The decor is best described as eclectic. Everything from exposed ceiling joist, a simple concrete slab floor, a 10 ft stuffed polar bear, to antique wood panels for a turnstile door which were turned into a booth. To quote Vincent Vega in Pulp Fiction, "It's a wax museum with a pulse."
The dinner menu is limited - Steak, Prime Rib &/or Seafood with a salad bar which includes soups and chili. Bread is provided to you at your table. All in all hearty fare and tasty. I ordered a 1 lb steak with, depending on the menu you get , either a 1/2 lb or 1 lb of shrimp scampi. The steak was cooked to order and came with sautéed mushrooms and a baked potato with butter and sour cream only. The salad was fresh and their Ranch dressing was okay. People in my party tried the clam chowder and chili. The clam chowder was described as being quite good while the chili was describes as being okay. All this, excluding the bar tab, for just under $25. Â
There is a full bar which has a very large beer menu. I had a tasty Stone Brewing Co. Arrogant Bastard Ale which came in 22 oz bottle to wash down the steak with. I would have never expect to find AB in Port Costa!
If you're looking for an upscale restaurant where you hold your cup with your little finger out and valet parking then keep looking but if you want an unusual restaurant that is way way off the beaten path then this place might just be for you.
I can't help but write a review for this place just because all the circumstances leading up to and into this bar were so unique and seemed to almost set the right mood for being at the Warehouse Cafe.
First, Google Maps took us through the scenic route to this place--meaning, we got to tour through all the local farmhouses between Hwy 4 and the Warehouse cafe. The road was so narrow and winding that my sister made a comment that it looked like only a horse and buggy could safely drive through.
Second, it was a dark and dreary day, meaning, driving through the town made it a little less charming and a little more creepy-looking. In fact by the time my sister and I got out of the car, we were the only ones standing outside and every building looked empty. We were only out of the car for a minute before it started raining so we couldn't take in much more of the scene before we ran over to the Warehouse Cafe.
The Warehouse Cafe was surprisingly busy for a dreary day. It's a rustic bar with turn of the 20th century type artifacts wherever you turn. In short, the people were friendly and funny. It is definitely an interesting place to visit, especially if you want to feel like you are stepping back in time. All in all, a great spot to visit...if you want an out-of-the-way bar to hang out.
I adore this place. The first time I went there was on a  warm spring day last year. My friend Katherine and I got our first drinks from a beautiful, friendly bartender named Hilary, with a penchant for winged eyeliner and liberty roll hairdos. After she got off work, she hung out for a little while, and Gina came on shift.
Not to be too misty-woo-woo-shakti-boom, but I think Gina has looked and acted EXACTLY the same in every incarnation she's been through since the beginning of time. As she turned the fans over the bar on, she cracked "Don't you young girls ever sweat? I'm flashin' like a mother#@*$%!!!!". I was instantly sold.
The place itself is labyrinthine, crowded with antique signs nailed on every available wall surface and velvet swag curtains hung from the ceiling, a pool table, a curio exhibit, and the crowning glory, (as has been mentioned in other reviews): a gigantic life-sized taxidermied vignette of polar bear towering over its taxidermy seal lunch.
There's snacks, a ridiculously extensive beer list, and generally very friendly patrons.
One time, Hilary's 6 foot 5 inch tall (Elvis ringer, for sure) Â boyfriend serenaded us on guitar with Orange Blossom Special and Folsom Prison Blues.
I go back there as much as I can, honestly. It's awesome.
I need to go back for the barbecue, apparently.
This is an awesome dive bar in a random part of the bay area that I never thought I would be in. The roads were windy and the parking lot had a nice view of the water.
I like how they had lots of different beers from around the world.
I had this one German beer that straight up tasted like smoked salmon.
The bartenders were nice and the people I met were cool.
I like how they had a pool table and all the decorations gave the place a lot of character--especially the polar bear.
I also like how it's next to a United States Post Office.
Great selection of beers, giant keg of cold water, plenty of parking. Â
I always consider this place a destination on a medium length afternoon motorcycle ride - I can zip through Tilden, up Bear Creek and take all the backroads to this bar - have a beer and enjoy the view of the water, chat with my friends, drink some water and head home. Â
I've always been kind of grossed out by the polar bear in the glass case - it's just horrifying to me that someone would do that to any living creature and it makes me wonder why they don't buy a dead human body from the "Body Worlds" exhibit to put in there along side the bear.
In fact, I always have this sense that if I stay there too long - I'll end up taxidermied and in a glass case too!
Can't comment on whether the menu is vegan-friendly or not since I've never bothered to check (I just assume french fries will be the only thing I can eat) - I promise to check next time!
As good and as WEIRD as it gets. Barbie is more than a character and it sounds like we got her on a good day. We asked her nicely and she let us in to the walk in beer fridge to pick our own beers of the some 100+ choices available. Mmm St. Peter's Creme Ale...
Borderline dirty and decrepit, the warehouse is still clean enough to stay a while--don't let the mossy awning or musty smell fool you. I'm not sure what got me the most, the large polar bear taxidermy or the fact the bathroom has no stall covers. Or maybe it was the section with some 30+ chandeliers. Whatever it is, once you've been in there's no turning back. This place is the divey-ist of the divey. Â (For those of you who never leave Oakland, the place reminds me of Cafe Van Kleef but way, way further down the rabbit hole..)
The outdoor patio is great for a late afternoon picnic. If you like a good bike ride (30 mi. r/t), get off at the Pleasant Hill BART and wind your way around the hills. The Warehouse Cafe is a pleasant treat at the end of a good ride and most of the way back is down hill.
This place is like a museum of odds and ends, the bizarre and beautiful with everything in between. The walls are interesting, the place is inviting and the drink list is impressive. What I have been waiting for?
I'm much too distracted by the giant polar bear, interesting furniture and wall hangings to order my own drinks. Plus we really wanted to sit in this glass booth, so I grabbed the table and watched some football on TV.
I ordered the table a round of Watermelon Jolly Rancher shots. For a little pink cocktail shooter, these little guys kicked butt. <a href="http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=Eb0WKXFik_sYaLoAyzTtow&userid=Lu8y2ayxVlAzuJEVfVcH4w">http://www.yelp.com/user…</a>
Then we had our drinks, I ordered the Chimay Tripel (White - 8.00% APV), he ordered the Sea Dog Blueberry Beer, she got the Whiskey Sour and I think he drank his before we could take a pic. All different and all great.
I had a great time, took some amazing pictures of the view and the little town of Port Costa and happy to share another adventure with all of you!
I'm a huge fan of the warehouse restaurant/bar and the hotel next door, however they have to do something about the unlit parking lot.
Not only is it poorly maintained (potholes everywhere) but as we discovered this past weekend.. it is completely unsafe.
We were having a great time at the warehouse (and hotel) on 11/08/09.. but the fun ended abruptly when we discovered that one of the girls in our group had been brutally attacked and beaten in the parking lot. Â It was approximately 3am. Â
It also took the police over an hour to arrive (this girl was bleeding from the head, and the assaliants were able to easily escape without any witnesses).
We were told that this parking lot is owned by the railroad, and they have no control over it... however I think this is a case where either the bar or the city needs to step in and do something to make it safer. Doesn't matter who owns that lot.. this is the lot that your customers park in.. if it's not safe to park there, let your customers know. .. and install some lights. Â
Since those kids got away with it this time.. who knows when/if they might come back. Â If you know kids are hanging out back there partying, call the cops and get them out of there.
For years I've wanted to go to The Warehouse, hearing legends of hundreds of beers in a walk-in freezer. Â I had visions in my mind of what such a place would look like, and some were true, some not, but my first visit to The Warehouse did not disappoint. Â I don't know how some bikers manage to ride here and then go anywhere else without staying in The Burlington Hotel next door. Â Limit yourself to one or two beers if you can if you plan on riding out of here through the twisty mountain road leading here. Â And please, don't drink and drive, especially for the sake of the bikers who come here and for your own safety should you run into one. Â Wouldn't want to be you . . .
The beers, the polar bear, the haphazard layout, the outside porch with room for dogs to run around, the dilapidated decor, the trains going by just a hundred feet away or so, and the general good-natured recklessness of the place make me happy to be an American. Â I hope to come back many times, hopefully with a bunch of friends in tow, hopefully to spend a lazy afternoon kicking it and not wake up the next morning feeling like hell with the wheels ridden off.
Warehouse, long may you run, although these changes have come. Â With your chrome heart shining in the sun, long may you run.
Below the hills of a small California town, lays a smaller town....
In generations that span the realm of time, cross the sea of possibility and find a niche where they belong, rose a group who knew no boundaries, who forgot the meaning of "last call" and quiet frankly never understood it at all.
We are a different lot, not unruly but far from rule abiding. We are dreamers of the day, digital critics seeking a new cause for fun, discovering a better way to party. We'll dance on the sun, skip rocks on the moon, and drink under shooting stars.
Some ask, "Where are you guys from"? Others may ask, "How many of you are there"? Â With an occasional smile and lifting of the drinkable glass awaiting its stimulus refill, we simply say the initials "YS" and walk away, and before two steps are taken were asked; "well what does that stand for"? With a grin of expectation we continue walking, turn around and tell them..."Yelp Society"
Oh wow! Errrrrr sajhfao and it was awesome you  know? This place was straight out of a movie!! You can't make this type of stuff up at all!
First off it looks like you are headed somewhere then your on a windy road that takes you out to WTF. Yes there is light at the tunnel of this road, a town appears, and the night begins! There is a huge 9-10ft polar bear with a seal that has no head at its feet! All night long great music comes from the walls with the mixture of pool balls breaking, drunken laughter, and random slurs!
This place has excellent beers from around the world so if you order domestic beer you might get shot! This place makes for the perfect equation ( Beer + random shit + interesting neighbor dwellers + whore house hotel= Awesome night with kings, and waking up drunk!
Make sure to go to this place and catch the multiple trains that pass by!
PS: Â Parties that being with Y and end in P go to them. I love all my yelper family that I met last night! We partied just like my shirt! "Rock Band"
The Warehouse has many things I love about a bar:
Strong ass drinks, an amazing beer selection, kitschy decor, a jukebox (albeit a new internet one), awesome scenery, and mega bonus - the bar runs the brothel hotel across the street.
Some said 300, others said as many as 450 beers on the menu but hell I was not counting, I was just drinking. For some ungodly reason I stopped drinking beer and switched to a concoction called a California Lemonade. It was pretty much whisky with a lemon slice. I recommend they give it the tag line "drink this to bring out your inner whore". Which judging from the pics circling around I certainly did.
Go. Drink. Enjoy.
Thank you yelpers for last night. I felt a lot of boobs. It was awesome. Several of you ladies also reciprocated - again much appreciated.
peace, love, and good booze ~ chase
