Napa Point Brewing

NO wonder they are closed! These losers don’t pay their bills!!! worse of luck to you! A-​HOLES!

This restaurant has closed. The website says they’re re-​opening in August to a different location in Napa.

Siri… Where is this place?
(Siri)…“Sorry, I don’t know what you are talking about”…(essentially).
Okay, no prob. I have been more determined to find things the old-​fashioned way rather than rely on modern-​day technology. It helped me find Hopmonk Sebastopol, actually. Here’s what you do… roll down the window of your car and ask someone. It’s amazing how much better that works — just talking to someone!
Napa Point Brewing started out in late 2013, and I had been wanting to try it out ever since my co-​worker Denise left my brewery to go and start a new adventure at this location. Cue a random, warm Sunday where I had also wanted to try out the new Century Theater XD Napa (awesome) & then headed here after. It is located in the part of Napa that is close to American Canyon almost — yeah, over there. It’s in a commercial/​industrial area that has lots of land for sale and *could* have tons of potential in the future? I am not good at envisioning those sorts of things. Something tells me they know what they are doing.
No surprise, the food and beer were great. I would expect nothing less from Denise! I’m just bummed she wasn’t there — but it was a Sunday afternoon. They have a nice outdoor area where 90% of the customers were sitting. At the time I went (2 months ago?) there was very little shade. Not a problem then, but it may be time to run to Costco and grab 4 or 5 umbrellas before the Summer Sizzle starts.
Perhaps the only odd thing was the girls walking around with Beer Pong shirts. Can the owner listen to this with a grain of salt, I hope? You see — Napa Point advertises themselves as Ultra Premium Craft beer. Got it. But then BEER PONG? At a place that closes pretty early. Correct me if I am wrong, guys, but Beer Pong was played in college with Bud Light and it was often close to or after midnight. Drop that idea because I can’t imagine it is working well for you.
Otherwise, good to go! Great beers and menu. I will definitely return in the near future. Cheers!

An awful lot of luke warm reviews. makes me wonder if they came to the same place I did. The beer was good, the food was really good. Anyone who says this place is expensive has never eaten in Napa.
Some one said that lunch for two was 40.00 (w/​beer) yeah well so? What did you expect? That lunch at Norman Rose Tavern (which I like) would have cost you 60.00 and you would have gotten store bought IPA.
The burgers are very good, fries are crispy and don’t forget to order dessert! The cheese cake is huge and very light. Cant wait to go back.

If you’re coming here just for the food, here are some things to keep in mind: on the menu they clearly have «jalepeno seasoned fries» but when I received them, they did not taste like jalepeno at all. I asked the waitress to take them back and she said «everyone thinks the jalepeno fries are spicy, but they’re really just lightly salted.» They don’t make what’s on the menu. My grilled cheese had no flavor and the brownie on the sundae tasted store bought. Maybe this place is only good for beer.

If I had posted my review after my first visit, I probably would gave given them another star, but my last visit wasn’t as good.
Both times I ordered nearly the same thing. The first time, I tried their flight of beers. All were enjoyable. The second time, I just chose a pint of my favorite.
As for food, both times I got the grilled cheese. However, their menu seems to have expanded and changed between my visits. I really liked it the first time I ordered it. It was a delicious, grown-​up grilled cheese and the simply-​dressed salad was a perfect pair. This time, the sandwich seemed totally different. There was a lot of mustard on it, which is fine by me, but I don’t recall it being that way before. The cheese was sort of blah though, the slices of bread were cut so thickly that I couldn’t get the sandwich in my mouth. I ended up having to pull it apart to eat it. If the slices were cut on the bias, at least it you could bite through it.
However, if I wrote the review based solely on my side item, I’d give them five stars. You absolutely must get the maple pancetta brussel sprouts. They are my least favorite vegetable, but this preparation has changed me. They’re soooo good.
The other people in my party ordered different dishes. The table’s consensus was that the mashed potatoes are bland and tasteless, so don’t bother.
Now, for ambiance. They need to work on it. The gastropub sort of has an identity crisis and doesn’t know what it wants to be. There a counter at the entry that has an unknown purpose. A host at a host stand seats you and it appears you can choose to eat in the restaurant area, an area with TVs and a stage, or perhaps outside in a courtyard, but don’t quote me on that last part.
The problem is, it’s too quiet. Even though there were quite a few tables when I was there, the music playing was soft and slow jazz and didn’t fit in at all. We sat in the room with all the televisions playing sports, and instead of being able to listen to one of the sporting events, even this room had the elevator music. It just felt really weird both times we ate in that room. The puzzling part is the room seems to have retractable walls where they could have a different feel in that room than in the rest of the place if they wanted. Instead it feels like you’re sitting quietly in a room with a bunch of other people and there’s nothing to break up the awkwardness — either sound or physical structures. Plus the tables are all lined up like a cafeteria in rows and it just feels strange. It feels too open and sterile.
I really want to like this place. I enjoyed my food the first time and the brussel sprouts the second time and it serves beer. Enough said. I hope they continue to make improvements that will bring in more people and more atmosphere.

Interesting (eclectic) selection of beer. If you are a beer connoisseur, this place has some good selection.
Until they get their permits figured out or approved, their way of doing things (where they can serve you beer, i.e. which room, etc) is a little odd.
But most strikingly, the atmosphere in this place was just lacking. I went on a Saturday night and it was just dead. Apart from the people, the artwork was mundane, practically nonexistent, and tvs, were small and few. It’s as if this place just can’t decide what it wants to be — a classy bar? a sports bar? It just seemed to be a building with some beer, but nothing really worth making me want to go back. Plus, it’s way out of town if you’re from Napa.

They were very chill and accommodating of a casual book club get together. The drinks were great, and they even let us get the happy hour specials with less than 5 minutes to go! My burger was good, and the Brussels sprouts really hit the spot!
It was a fun place and I will gladly be back again with a group of any size! And they were so friendly!

Great food, service and beer! Cool little spot to try.
Our server was really friendly and knowledgable of the beers we tasted. He even brought my husband a nice serving of beer for free.
Definatly recommend this place.

This place is new and in a great location by the Napa airport. I’ve gone twice now and really enjoyed the beer. For me, that’s priority #1. I’m there for the beer and I think Napa Point is only going to get better as time goes on. The food is good and goes well with the beer. I did have a problem with seeing all the empty growlers and not being able to have one filled up to take home. I asked when we would be able to buy growlers and they didn’t know when that would happen. But all in all, this place is great and I can’t wait to go back.

Stopped in for a beer and small bite last week. Not at all impressed — what happened?
Was served fast (good) but then rushed through one beer and dry hummus and soggy veggies in 15 minutes.
It was mid afternoon and slow, so I was a little perplexed that 10 minutes (4 sips) into my beer when I said I didn’t need anything else at the moment, I was presented with a check 5 min later and asked if my server could take my plate.
I hope that if I come here again it will be a better experience.

So first off, we love brew! My hubby got me into it. He makes beer so naturally I’m a fan.
Napa point is fairly new. But I’m so impressed by everything here. The beer is great! My fav is the Amber ale and one I tried tonight the kilt & dagger. It’s da best! Think of a caramel swirl with hops… ya; drink that up! It’s 8.0% ABV!
The food is also very tasty. Not too heavy. And so much flavor. Try the Brussels sprouts! And thank me later.
All sides are 4 $, super reasonable! I get so giddy when I find a business that’s the bomb and they share the love, not by trying to gut your wallet.
The service is wonderful. Our server Nate was impeccable. Always dialed!
Definitely a new favorite spot of mine. Come here and see for yourself. Happy hour is mon-​Friday 3pm-​6pm :)

Met a friend here for lunch. After reading the Unilocal reviews I came with an open mind but, not setting my expectations very high.
I ordered a buffalo style chicken sandwich and fries along with a beer. The food definitely was underwhelming. The sandwich lacked flavor and the fries were way too soggy. I don’t know if they were sitting around for a while but, I could only eat about ½ of them. Prices are a little steep. 2 beers, a burger and my chicken sandwich came to $ 40.
Beer was good enough and service was adequate. There are about 5 or 6 TVs so, it would be a good place to catch a game.
Food — 1 star
Beer — 3.5 stars
Service — 3.5 stars
Venue — 3 stars
Prices/​Value– 1.5 stars
And the judges give it a generous 3 stars.
I’ll go back in few months to see if they’ve got through their growing pains.

So as I was driving around this evening, talking to my first mate, I kept repeating… I want a burger, I want a burger, but didn’t want to go to anywhere in Napa I’d gone before. Then she mentions The Napa Point Brewery! Boom! We are there I say.
So we come in and are greeted and seated immediately. Our server comes up in a minute or two and takes the drink/​app order. We went for the Mac n Cheese balls having just seen some on DDD and being intrigued.
They came out in a timely manner and let me say. If you love Mac n cheese like I do they were perfect, crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. Not all dried out and crappy like some are.
Then came the double flight deck of 10 beers. Having had a lot of great California beer I will say this. Everything I drank was a good version of the beer it was trying to be. The 2 standouts to me would be the IPL and the Scotch Ale by Cask & Stone brewery but for totally different reasons.
A. the Scotch Ale… My wife who doesn’t like beer at all, but she it, if she wasn’t the designated driver from this dinner I’d have given her more… And she’d have drank it, perfect malty scotch ale flavor, and at 8.0% abv it’ll get you going.
Now the hopflolagen IPL, as an IPA fan myself, Wait lets be honest, I’m an IPA addict, this is a great beer, as I finished the 1^st sip of each beer that one was the one that I reacted to in a way my wife was like «I totally could tell that was your favorite.»
Then came the food, I had the black n blue burger, the wife had the regular burger. Mine was a solid 8.5 and more seasoned than most black n blue burgers that skimp on the black portion. My wife said her burger was good but not perfect. That being said the fries are amazing.
So to sum it up great food, great beer, great wait staff and others that swung by our table picking up plates and giving us a bag for our go to boxes. I would recommend this place to everyone and the only reason I won’t be getting Mac n cheese and the burger next time, is I wanna try the hot wings and fish n chips! This place rocks!

Stopped in for beer as we were driving home and tried the 9 beers pouring. Eight were awful and one, the IPL was good.
The food is on the expensive side ($ 14 pulled pork sandwich for example). I’m always on the lookout for someplace new nearby but, since I’m only into pub food if there’s great beer to go with it, I’ll never be back.
Napa Smith is across the street and their beer is better (not amazing, but a lot better than this).
«Redefining ultra-​premium craft beer» is an awful BS slogan too.

Pretty gosh darn good overall!!!
My eats:
Grilled Cheese: Very possibly the best grilled cheese I’ve had, even better than Wolfgang Puck (really). Four cheeses in a super crusty bread. A diet-​breaker for sure
Mixed Salad: This was very nice; butter lettuce, fancy thin-​sliced radishes, beets, goat cheese, and pumpkin seeds. Delicious!
I didn’t have the opportunity to taste the beers but the descriptions sounded right up my alley, and I’ll be back.
They are definitely in an unique location. Hopefully they’ll get enough tourist traffic on the weekends to sustain them.

Simply put, the best beers I’ve ever had. They make five staple beers and a few more season/​limited production brews. The first time I was there, I fell in love with the Kilt & Dagger. Unfortunately, when I went back, I was informed that it was gone. My advice: drink the small production beers while you can… don’t wait.
The food was surprisingly good. I wasn’t expecting much, but it was good and plentiful. Our server was very nice and knowledgeable. The order took longer than expected (due to a misbehaving pizza oven), but everyone apologized and gave us some free appetizers while we waited. The pizza arrived and we thought it was pretty good. They said it wasn’t to their usual standard and gave it to us for free.
All new restaurants need a couple of months to get the kinks worked out, and this one is no different. The beers are fantastic, and that makes it a worthwhile wait.

I had high hopes for this place and will have to come back to make sure my first impressions were accurate.
The aesthetic of the brewpub was as advertised embracing the Napa «finery» but also its haughty nature regarding the service and general mood, unfortunately. Anything described as «ultra premium» starts out suspect in my book and frankly, I found that the beer didn’t hold its own in that regard.
Ultimately, I was confused by the marketing of this place. The consistency of the message being sent to customers is in question as is the target demographic. Regardless, I felt the beer (the reason I went there), was off.

Excellent new brew pub! Great service, craft beers, and great food! What more do you want? Love the beer garden and the tap room they are building looks great too! Kilt and dagger beer is a must try!

Just getting opened, soft opening started on 10÷17÷13, so now isn’t the ideal time to visit, but it’s fun to see these guys get up and running.
They took over the café on Devlin, very big space. Stand alone tap room and restraunt, connected by a large courtyard beer garden. This place has a huge amount of potention, now we just have to see what they will do with it.
Because of the location, I’ll be skeptical until proven otherwise. This is what has kept me away from Napa Smith, it’s just a bit of a drive, but if they can brew really good beer, serve good affordable food and make it a place you want to hang out, they’ll be able to pull it off, really hope they can attract the crowds to such a big location.
Currently soft opening is 20% off on the menu, guessing this will only be for a week or so. Food is good, the grilled cheese is well worth it, as well as the chips and dip and the house-​made jerky. The beers are good, but I’m waiting for the specialty stuff to come out (I’m a sucker for Scotch Ales). The owner was super nice and approached us a few times, everyone I was with really enjoyed our afternoon there. I’m sure I’ll be back a time or two, or three, or four, or…
Good Luck Guys!
