The Brass Tap

The Brass Tap in Hollister, California, sits at 1701 Airline Highway, just minutes from downtown and the historic San Juan Valley. Housed in a refurbished warehouse, the bar blends industrial‑chic décor with warm wooden tables, exposed brick walls, and neon signage that highlights its ever‑changing tap list. Guests can choose from more than 30 rotating craft beers on draft, featuring local California breweries such as Sierra Nevada, Lagunitas, and Modern Times, as well as seasonal imports and limited‑edition releases. The menu includes hearty party platters – crispy buffalo wings, loaded nachos with jalapeño cheese, pretzel bites with beer‑cheese dip, and a classic cheese‑and‑charcuterie board – all priced in the $$ range. The Brass Tap is known for its lively events: Trivia Tuesdays draw teams competing for Brew Crew points, Music Bingo Wednesdays combine classic hits with a fun prize, and Whiskey Wednesday offers a 25 % discount on all whiskeys all day. An outdoor patio provides a relaxed spot for sunset drinks, while indoor TVs broadcast sports and local games. The bar opens daily from 12 p.m. to 10 p.m., making it an ideal stop after work or a weekend gathering. Loyalty members join the Brew Crew rewards club to earn free pints and exclusive tastings. Whether you’re a craft‑beer aficionado, a casual drinker, or a visitor exploring Hollister’s vibrant downtown, The Brass Tap delivers a welcoming atmosphere, quality brews, and tasty bites in a setting that feels both modern and familiar.
