Ghost Town Brewing

Oakland's brewery with serious beer and proper outdoor vibes

Laurel, Oakland

About This Place

Ghost Town Brewing in Laurel is the kind of place where you can actually hang out. They've got outside seating that actually works, whether you're staying for an afternoon or just grabbing something to take home. The beer is the draw here, but the setup makes it feel less like you're checking a box and more like you're settling into somewhere real. What makes Ghost Town work is that they're not overthinking it. You can order to stay, grab stuff to go, or have it shipped if you're not local. There's a reason they operate multiple taprooms around the area, too. They understand what people want from a brewery these days: good beer, a place to drink it, and the flexibility to do things on your own terms. The Laurel location has the neighborhood feel without trying too hard. It's just a solid spot to land when you want a beer that's worth your time, in a place where you can actually be comfortable. That's rarer than you'd think in brewery culture.
