"Most people who walk into the newest Barebottle Brewing Company taproom in Walnut Creek say the same thing to co-founder Michael Seitz. I grew up going here as a kid, I love this place and I'm so grateful you're here, they'll tell him. Barebottle opened the brewery's first East Bay location last month, taking over a space that's been vacated for the better part of a decade, formerly the home of the beloved Pinky's Pizza."
"Pinky's had been there for 46 years until it closed in 2008. It reopened a few years later in a new location across town. We've got a picture from the original Pinky's hanging in the taproom, Seitz said. It was given to us by the people who currently run Pinky's. To honor Pinky's, Barebottle is selling pizza made by San Francisco's Joyride. The pizza has been so popular that the brewery expanded from one pizza oven to three within its first few weeks of opening."
Barebottle Brewing opened its first East Bay taproom in Walnut Creek, occupying a space long vacated after Pinky's Pizza closed in 2008. The taproom displays a picture from the original Pinky's and partners with San Francisco's Joyride to sell pizza, expanding from one oven to three due to popularity. Popular beers include the Muir Woods hazy IPA, Mango Flossi mango sour ale, and Hella Hetchy pilsner brewed with Hetch Hetchy reservoir water. Barebottle won two 2025 Great American Beer Festival gold medals for Hella Jalepeno and Dank Dank Revolution. The taproom has become a local hit.
