Good things are afoot in Jack London Square lately.

There’s this Irish thing we just told you about.

There’s the new Tasting Room at Federation Brewing, which is open now, has beer and a pinball machine, and looks like this.

...

That might cover it, actually. Still, about the latter...

Fun place. Little sparse. Little industrial. Lot of beer. It abuts their actual brewing facilities, so let that comfort you. Pop in whenever and point out the sci-fi graffiti wall art to your group. It matches that vintage, space-themed pinball machine, which your group will also enjoy.

But you didn’t come here to play pinball. You came to drink beer and play pinball. So it’s off to the bar with you, where you’ll sip your way through any of the eight beers on tap. Some are widely available, but they’ve also got some exclusives like the Doin’ Crime wheat IPA, which, according to them, is “Less of a smash and grab, and more of a long con.”

Anyway, beers will be sampled, conversations will be had, and life will be good. But if you’re looking for more, they’ll be bringing in local bands on weekends, along with a few food trucks here and there.

Food and beer. They might be onto something.
