The Davis Beer Shoppe in Davis

Are you a beer nerd? If so this is for you. If you don't like beer then why are you reading this review. What to expect: about two dozen beers and a cider or two on tap but then a HUGE selection of beers you can drink there or take home. Not good for big groups but a date who like an IPA and a sour could be a good spot to meet up.

Decent selection of cans/bottles, but was expecting more local brands

Best beer bar in Davis. Great rotation of taps. Also sells bottles (but freshness can be questionable)

My go to bottle shop. Great staff and VERY knowledgeable on all of the craft beers

A great place to try different beers. Many beers on tap to taste in the front of the shop. In back there is a great selection of beer from around the world and the staff knows about the beers. And you can buy individual bottles so you try different beers then come back and buy more of what you like.

Serious collection and always have interesting beer rotations

Small, brown beer bar. Great beer selection that is constantly changing- the staff know and love <3 beer.

Great vibe and great beer selection.

Lots of beer on tap, and lots of bottles to buy. Small tasting room but a great selection of craft beer

Helpful and full of beer. I got the bottom of the barrel at no charge lucky me.

Good place to hangout

Lots of cool beers to try!

Great selection of beers, both bottled and on tap. The selection is constantly changing. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable. The atmosphere is relaxed and mostly friends getting together or grad students relaxing. It's more of a neighborhood pub than bar. I love this place. It's my favorite place to drink in Davis.

Perfect place for craft beers. They have a huge selection of cold beers ready to go or to drink in the bar area. I think there is an extra charge for that, but they generally have frequently rotating taps, so that's really nice. Big bottle selection and some glassware too.

Best place to grab a beer (to drink or bottles to go) in Davis. The employees are friendly and very knowledgeable.

Good place for a beer and a chat.

If you like beer or cider they will have it here. The coffee stout was excellent.

I really enjoyed this place. Lots of California small operation taps! Plenty of room to sit and enjoy a pint with a loved one. I didn't feel like I was annoying the tender by asking for taste testers. Non corporate vibe. I'm going to head back here frequently for a pint!

This place won't serve me or my girlfriend as we don't hold an American id despite the fact I'm 37 too. American only bar!! We found this a bit racist

Selection is awesome. Bartender's are cool and atmosphere is usually pretty chill. Wish it had more seats... But then again, the amount it has now keeps the environment kind of mild.

Wide selection of popular and local brews. Staff was friendly, professional and offered good assistance. They have tables for open tasting. Definitely will come back.

Great selection of beers, some you can only get here. Employees are helpful. Highly requiremend if your looking for a good beer.

Sooooo many beers to choose from!! If ya love the brewski's hit this joint up!!

Always an interesting selection on draft, most all the staff is friendly and welcoming. Always fun and pretty chill place to enjoy some good beers. Retail selection let's you buy singles which is great. Still important to check dates on your ipas, I've bought a few recently which where on the old side. Still top notch place.

Super cool little store store in the back and brewery feel in the front. Big selection on tap. They had Pliney on tap!

Great beer selection. Always rotating taps. Knowledgable staff.

I had a good experience. The beer tenders were nice, and the beers were cold.

The ambience, selection, and pricing at Davis Beer Shoppe is all excellent. If you want to taste something new and delicious in a low-key setting, this is the best place to do it in Davis! And the bartenders are always happy to let to try plenty of options before you purchase. Highly recommend for research meetings!

Visited after lunch on a Wednesday. Located on one of the main blocks of Central Davis. Outside patio area as you enter, with additional bar seating inside. 22 beers on draft along with a bottle and can selection that was pretty crazy and most everything was available as a single. Wish I had time to hang and have a beer, but was happy enough to buy a few great beers to go.

Awesome little shop for the craft beer enthusiast. Had a lot off craft beers that you don't see on tap, On Tap! Tons of different bottles to chose from and a cool taster (flight) that rotates every night. They'll let you taste but I think they need to have two pour sizes. A 4-5 oz along with the 10 oz pour so you can try twice as many before you stumble out! Most beers on tap are hitting the 6-9 abv. range! You near, you better go!

I’ve been here a few times, not a huge beer fan but I like sours, the staff are always helpful in pointing me in the right direction! This place is rather small and can get pretty packed during peak time.

Great selection. Ambiance favors the casual drinker/sports fan as much as the pedigreed snobs of saissons, ciders and sours. Usually knowledgeable staff. Outside food welcome.

Good selection (best in Yolo County) and knowledgeable staff. Whenever we are in Davis, we make this one of our stops.

My favorite bar in Davis. Knowledgeable staff, and great beer selection. Less of a 'wew let's get hammered' place and more of a 'let's hang out and try some great beers and still get hammered probably' place. Recommended!

Awesome place to get your all of your drinks.

Very helpful. Good selection of beers

Great beer selection on draft and for retail. Can get pretty busy during the evening sometimes, though. Usually fairly quite during the day with people working on their laptops.

Good selection. Chill atmosphere. Helpful staff.

Great place too have a beer. Many types on tap, menu changes often, chill people and atmosphere.

Very nice beer selection but staff are very rude/hateful and arrogant.

This is the best cider but gluten reduced here is definedas

Great idea in theory, but the prices are pretty high and the atmosphere is not conducive to chatting, staying for long, relaxing, or getting properly drunk. Beer Shoppe isn't great for anything, but is alright for everything.

Great beers always something new.

Best place to drink in davis. Always has the best selection. Back of the bar has beer u can't find anywhere else!

this is probably the best source of beer from all around the world. wide variety, some time ago if they didn't have it they would find it for you. the bartenders are friendly

Staff are all highly knowledgeable about beer. They will be able to help even the pickiest of beer-drinkers find a beer that is suitable for them. With hundreds of beers available, and over a dozen beers rotating on tap there is a beer for everyone!

Cozy feel. Can get really crowded. Have great rotating beer selections. Nice staff.

The best place to get a beer or buy amazing craft beer from their vast selection. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable.

Always a great place to sit down and enjoy a beer or two!

Great selection, good assignment on tap and daily tastings.
