Floodcraft Taproom - Santa Clara

Beers are good but the there is not a lot of finger food available and fries are okay. Staff is friendly and helpful while choosing beers. Ambience is kinda confusing since it shares space with grocery store. Price per person: $20–30 Food: 2 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 3

Industrial modern decoration, have both indoor and outdoor seating areas, and there are many beers on tap selections or can be purchased from Wholefoods. Service: Dine in Meal type: Other

Always a great beer selection, and the bartenders actually know about what they have on tap. Food can be a coin flip, the kitchen has been out of something on the (small) menu almost every time I've visited, but the food is good, with generous portions, and you can always get something from the wholefoods side. Parking: Parking nearby can be full, but nearly always available at the far side of the parking lot. Service: Dine in

This place has had problems for a while now... it 's a toss-up whether the kitchen will be open or not. And when it is, they probably won 't have their full menu available. (small as it is) They also tend to close early (sometimes very early) due to staffing issues ... at least according to the notices posted at the bar. When they are open and operating fully, they usually have a very good beer selection, and their food is good with generous servings. I really wish they could get their act together because this could really be a great craft beer bar.

8/17/23 Well, never thought I 'd go to a pub inside of a Whole Foods !?!!!???? Yup, in a WF. But it 's bigger than I 'd think, with I think half a dozen to a dozen tables, and a relatively large space. There 's a bar up front where you order. The menu is online, and also displayed on TVs hanging above. They have a very good selection with artisinal craft beers predominantly from California, but a decent percentage from other states. But I guess as a bar, it kinda sucks. There was only one bartender so a line formed, and it didn 't help that he seemed slow. And the vibe was just bad. It felt like you 're drinking in a Whole Foods, and well..... who wants to feel like you 're chugging beers in a supermarket? Good place to just come by after work for happy hour cuz since it 's WF, you got parking but DEFINITELY do not make this your suggestion to friends to hang out.............. OH!!!!!!!! They 're CHEAP! I got truffle fries and my 8oz beer, and TOTAL was $8!!!!!!!!!!!! Fries were okay. Could be crisper but I liked the flavor. 3/5 #wholefoods #bar #beerbar #beerpub #craftbeer
