Bru Co Taproom

Best place to grab a beer after work. Tasty bites and awesome beer with friendly service. State discount too.

Hanging out here is so familiar somehow. Like I've known this place my whole life. I haven't, of course. My love and I wandered in here after wine tasting at Bailarín and in need of sustenance. Thankfully Bru Co has both substantial nourishment AND an eclectic variety of beers on tap. They also have really COOL people working here. People who actually wanted to make human connection and chat. I appreciated that.I ended up ordering a banh mi wrap and it hit the spot after a long evening of wine tasting. ;-) Perhaps a bit too heavy on the carrots but still tasty. My fella ordered a Cuban sammie that was quite tasty, I thought. We were quite thankful that Bru Co was offering up freshly prepared food for two hungry souls. Neither of us had trouble picking a beer from their excellent list that offered a refreshing variety of styles. Though this is probably hard to believe for some of you, I was a little tipsy at the time and can't remember what I ordered but I DO remember it tasted like tea and sweet dreams. *looks at Untappd app*...Ah! It was indeed the Oolong Tea Saison from Barebottle Brewing! Yummy. How could I forget that?! The nerve of me. First time trying that beer and it won't be the last. Yum! It was fun to sip and chow down in a welcoming spot, talking to the beertenders and enjoying the muted lighting inside. There's a funky little window that opens out into the patio area of the Coin Op nextdoor, and the view at eye level is all brick and fairy lights. Aesthetically pleasing. Great little spot. We will definitely be back! It's not always as slammed as other spots on the K pre and post G1C events either, which is a definite plus for me. Parking: garages and street metered spaces if you can find them. I wouldn't recommend trying to park in this area during busy periods. Stinkrail is nearby; your chariot awaits. More...

Pleasantly surprised. Nice selection of beer and wine. Appealing menu. Tried the Chicken Vegetable soup and it was really good. I'll definitely be back.

Great beer and food, with a great staff! Justin always maintains a good selection of beers (my preference is sours and porters/stouts) and updates his menu regularly. The chicken caesar sandwich is my favorite menu item! More...

Stumbled on this place yesterday throughly enjoyed my time here. The owner and our bartender was everything you could ask for in a taproom. I enjoy the sleek modern decor that fits perfect for downtown. Great beer selection the champagne ale was my favorite of the day. But I think the hidden gem of this place might be the food. I only had a charcuterie but I'd be damned if it was not one of the best I ever had. Good prices great ambience, great service, good food, and the owner seems to just want to put his best effort forward and I can really appreciate the hustle. Will return soon thanks again. More...

Let me start by saying that although marijuana is legal in California, does it make it right for restaurants to wreak of it during business hours? As a visitor here, I also live in a state where marijuana is legal but have never been to a restaurant where it smelled so heavily of marijuana as it did here. There were a couple ppl at the bar, it was just my friend and I sitting at a table but yet it smelled like someone had turned it into a dispensary. Not sure how that happened especially since the front door was open.Food wise, everything tasted great. As I started to eat the smell of weed started to taper down. I had the shrimp tacos, full of flavor and lots of onions. My favorite! I also had the carrot curry soup, also lots of flavor and little bit of spice. Definitely would eat it again over a bowl of rice.  All in all, it was a cute place. This was one of the few places open in the area on Sundays. Smell of weed was kinda a turn off, but I guess the food made up for it. More...

Located on K Street and right next door to Coin-Op is bru co. taproom. I do hope they get better signage! If you're not concentrating, you might pass it up. Inside they have a window that actually overlooks Coin-Op, makes for interesting people watching.Came here for happy hour a couple of months ago. Tried a few of the brews and the service is most accommodating and helpful. They will happily help you find the right beer by letting you sample what's on hand.Tried the mini tostadas for HH and while tasty, you'd have to order at least a dozen to satisfy your hunger. Or at least this hungry girl would have to. Not wanting to look like a pig, I nonetheless inhaled the six that were offered. As one Yelper pointed out, the ambiance is not your typical brew pub type of joint. More emphasis on the stark and modern. Would be a great spot to highlight local artists' works perhaps. In any case, watch this space as I plan to come back to try out more! More...

A fly flew into my half drunk beer, and the bartender gave a whole new one, free of charge. The decor kind of feels like a frozen yogurt shop, but the employees couldn't be nicer.

I really hope this place makes it. I know K Street tends to get a bad rap, but this place is worth the "grime of K" and is a great small, local business. Sadly, when I stopped by there was only one other couple in the bar but it was an odd time of day. I got some beers, ordered some cheese & meat and posted up on their patio.  The atmosphere is very laid back and casual, definitely a good happy hour spot with good people watching outside. All of the staff were super friendly and the beer was great. What more can you ask for?! They have a few TVs and a good variety of beer on tap. Check it out for happy hour! You won't be disappointed.

National Stout Day. The greatest grouping of stouts I've ever seen. Speedway Vietnamese Coffee? Are you kidding? Count me in! Definitely be back. These guys are cool. Good happy hour menu to boot. A little loud inside (ok, maybe a lot!) when it gets full, but a great beer menu. More...

I've been wanting to try this place out and took a couple of co-workers here on a Monday for an early happy hour. I love it when the place is empty and I can talk to the owner about their beer, food, and aspirations. The owner was simply delightful and indulge me with all my questions and picked for me the absolute perfect sampler from his Taproom. They have a small one-person kitchen with some great beer snacks. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the dedication.I support the success of this business and encourage you to do so as well. You won't be disappointed. More...

This place is awesome! While there are new taprooms and breweries opening up daily it seems, this place still manages to stand out in the crowd. It's in a part of town that is beginning to rise from the ashes. It's right next door to Coin Op and close to Crest Theatre and The Golden 1 Center. A perfect place to stop by if you are going to an event nearby. Justin one of the owners and the other owner who's name I didn't catch were so friendly and knowledgeable. My boyfriend and I had a great time chatting with them and enjoying our beer. I really loved the beer selection, but especially all the sours! I got a honeydew sour from Track 7 which was refreshing, a tad sour, but oh so delicious. The other wonderful aspect of this little gem is that they have real food! So often taprooms offer bar food or even worse, just a bowl of pretzels. Nope! They had cheese plates, sandwiches, salads, even poke. We loved our cheese plate but I look forward to coming here again and trying more. Last but not least, is they have happy hour every day here. No where in town does that. I can't wait to come here after work with some co workers and enjoy a beer. More...

This place captures exactly the vibe that I'm looking for in a beer focused bar.

Been here two times now and totally enjoyed the food and bev.  The Cubano Sammie is tasty; panini-style and good size for lunch and a beer.  Had the Jalapeño Poppers as a light lunch, as well.  Peppers NOT fried but grilled (on that panini grill, I guess) and that's a good thing.  Then stuffed with goat cheese mix and topped with a bacon compote.  Needs no slathering of Ranch dressing.  They are darned good and I'll go back for more.

I was a wee bit underwhelmed by this taproom, I expected a better beer selection and more of a biergarten kind of vibe. That wasn't the case. The decor was a bit like a yogurt shop. The gal behind the bar was nice and helpful. We happened to stroll in after an Octoberfest so the beer selection reflected that. Maybe next time I'll order some food to pair with our beers and we may look at their online beer menu ahead of time. ON THE PLUS SIDE, it looks like they do tap takeovers and events. We will be back to give this place another shot. Fingers crossed for a tap takeover with Hawaiian beer! More...

I'm beyond impressed with the customer service here. I flew back home from Florida this evening and reconnected with a long time friend visiting from Texas. He was already buzzed but Cha Cha Cha. Anyways, I tried calling to make sure they were open. No answer. So I drove downtown from Carmichael and upon arrival was told that they were closed although it says they are open til 10pm. I was definitely disappointed, but the general manager Jack quickly flipped the script and took care of us. He hooked us up with several pieces of glassware from the event earlier, and took care of our round of beer. I am a customer for life and will tell all my friends about this place. I look forward to going back this week. Jack truly represents what it means to show excellent customer service.  Amazing selection of beers on tap and in bottles/cans. This is exactly what downtown has needed! More...

Stopped in here on a Saturday to get a beer and watch some football.  Pretty dead downtown, not many people.  Very good service, nice beer selection too. Have lots of local beers alongside other strong selections.  I had the jalapeño poppers on happy hour and they were not great.  They are cut in half, seeded, grilled and then filled with goat cheese.  I like jalapeños and I like goat cheese but they just need something more. I'm ordering jalapeno poppers because I thought they were fried and not good for me!  So just tempura fry them to make it different.  Don't make it a healthy food.  I wouldn't order them again. But the place is still cool and the beers were still solid. I would definitely return for a beer.By the way, you can tell a lot about a place from the timeliness of their response to your yelp post. With what felt like seconds they had a useful and funny response. For that reason alone I'll return and enjoy a beer again. Thanks for caring so much! More...

bru co is a great new addition to Sacramento's growing beer scene. Tons of delicious craft brews from all over (not just Sac's typical go-to's) and the taps rotate frequently so you will always get to try something new. The place is modern, clean, and inviting. Staff is friendly and knowledgable about their beers. Good amount of food selections from the chef that used to helm the Auburn Alehouse kitchen. If you are looking for unique & delicious craft brews, some good eats to munch on, and a clean place to chill out on K Street, bru co is definitely worth checking out! More...

Our first experience with going out since we moved to the area and it was definitely positive! Came here around 7:30 on a Friday and I was sure the place would be packed, but nope there was plenty of open seating and only a few other ppl in here. Bf and I ordered five oz pours of sour beer and some food. Braised short rib tacos (4.5 stars) - fall off the bone tender meat. Pickled red onions were awesome. It was served with a cold crema so it made the whole taco below the temp I'd like which was my only issue with these. Their selection had plenty options we wanted to try and we enjoyed what we ordered. Music was on point! We'd come back here for sure. More...

I chose the day after the California Beer Festival to head downtown to check out the newest beer hall on the grid and it surpassed my snooty expectations. Brü-Co sits on 9th and K right next door to Coin-Op three blocks from the Golden 1 Center.  Currently they have 21 craft beers on tap and a wide assortment of bottles and cans.  Having just endured the giant Festival that was literally around the corner they had a sour event that still occupied two thirds of those taps.  That still left like 8 or 9 other handles, one being nitro.The decor is simple but not divey.  Think Ikea stools.  There are maybe a half dozen low top tables inside and stools with narrow bars along the walls and a decent sized patio area in front.    Plenty of room.The food is as high quality as the beer.  The meat and cheese board was fantastic and my wife, the sober driver, had a Myolans diet cola and some jalapeno poppers that were incredible.  Come check out what Justin is doing.

This place is awesome. I'm not really sure why people would downgrade a place because the decor doesn't suit their personal taste but whatever. The beer is great and absolutely worth the price. I'd rather pay a dollar or two extra for craft beer I can't go get at Safeway. The owners are super friendly and go out of their way to make sure you're comfortable and they're knowledgeable about beer. Added bonus, the food is amazing. I had the short rib tacos and al pastor sliders. A lot of taprooms I've been too just have popcorn or peanuts and snacks so it's really nice to have somewhere you can get real food too. Will definitely be back! More...

I came in on a Thursday night and it was pretty packed. The design of the place is nice and modern and minimalistic. They have a couple of tvs on the walls and plenty of places to sit down. Everything feels nice and clean. The beers that my wife and I tried were really good, I got a sour and she got an ipa. We also ordered the chipotle lime popcorn which was really tasty. They have a good amount of items on the menu as well that all sounded really good. The bartenders were fast and they poured a good beer. They were all nice and attentive which is a good plus. I would definitely recommend coming here, they have 20 beers on tap and cocktails and wine. It can get pretty loud in there so maybe don't come when you have a headache. More...
