Cornerstone Craft Beer & Live Music in Vallejo

Really like the atmosphere, selection, and service. It was our first time in Berkeley and we had trouble getting service at a neighboring bar, no problem at all here.

The sound was very good. I didnt even use ear plugs and I was near the front. You didnt have to shout to your friend.

Cornerstone was a good place to hang out the show was awesome I got to have a meal a show and a drink all in the same venue and for under $50 not a bad night cant wait to go back there the staff was excellent as well

Great place for a quick craft beer on tap! Cute little outside space and weekly live entertainment

Great bar, amazing venue! Since they also serve as a restaurant / bar there is a place to sit and wait for venue doors to open as long as you buy a little snack or a beer! The stage curves and the barricade curves around it so theres more room for everybody to enjoy a close view :)

Great list of beer and wine. Friendly staff. Enjoy

Friendly bar that’s really spacious!The outdoor patio area is nice and isolated so you can still hear your friends.Definitely check out the music area near the bathrooms - ABBA night is actually the best thing ever. I can’t believe I’ve been coming here for 2 years before ever experiencing it! Tickets can be bought online.I’ve also been to social events here (weekend brunch for a local club, society). In the mornings, it’s a really nice vibe with delicious ciders and IPAs on tap! They also make a terrific mixed drink. If you host an event here, there are also often special requests that can be made (ex. Custom cocktail).

Great concert. Nice sized venue which allows for intimacy between fans and artists.

Live music was great. Security is great. Bartenders have a heavy pour.

Delightfully pleased with this place when I went to see Kes The Band from my home country ,Trinidad preform here! GREAT ambiance and wonderful staff! Look forward to returning!

Excellent venue! Nice bar downstairs.

Great place to see live shows. Parking can be problematic. Sometimes you can get lucky and find a spot in front. Sometimes youll have to park way over yonder and walk to the venue. Lots of beers on tap. Bartenders arent always paying attention, so you will have to flag them down. Usually more than once. Even if its not busy. Music venue is nice. Bathrooms are reasonably clean too.

This is such a great venue for seeing live music, I absolutely love the diversity of music and people, always a fun, happy place to be.

Had beer, a cider, a burger, and a concert. Beer was really good, burger was delicious, the concert was a great venue. Not many seats in the concert area, but that is to be expected. Sound was great.

Friendly bartenders, great choice, fantastic place: inside, outside, and in the dark concert hall.

Fish and chips Thursday are a dont miss.

Went to experience the midget wrestling venue and it was tons of fun

i am actually 21 and my partner is 24. we both had real IDs and mine was nearly bent in HALF AND SNAPPED by your bartender who also refused service to my partner because of his REAL ID. You should try SCANNING AN ID BEFORE DENYING SERVICE!!!! trash bar.

Good food, lots of different beers, watched the Warriors become World Champs again and watched a very awesome band The Hip Abduction

i was moreso here for my favorite bands, but the venue did not disappoint! everything is open and accessible. the location was a bit tricky to spot, but in retrospect was pretty sensible. the interior is neither too large nor claustrophobic. the bathrooms are super nice and clean and the overall atmosphere was super nice!

Great concert venue, drinks were great wish they served some late night bites, 4 star only because I left the place hungry, otherwise groovy spot.

Definitely a good place to grab a beer and some food. Got the ribs and they were very tender Would Definitely order again! The corn bread that comes with it is also delicious, I didnt care for the coleslaw so much. Lots of beer on tab and full bar.

Typical brewery, but I love that there is a space for live shows. We walked in while the Warriors were playing so it was packed, but there was still alot of space. All of the college kids, professionals were cheering together and drinking. There was a nice enclosed outdoor patio with firepits. Walk up some steps and youre in a different space with another bar and stage. You unable to hear the other room from both sides, which is very cool. Good space for events.

Everyone here was so friendly and welcoming, it was my first time here, and Ill definitely return someday. It was a nice atmosphere, with a lot of room. The sound in the venue was as amazing as Hypocrisy and the other bands that played Friday night. Itll be a night Ill never forget, all thanks to the generous hospitality of the staff and others who attended as well, and getting one awesome seat to enjoy the music that these live bands were playing. Great place to relax and just enjoy oneself.

Great bar and venue! Had a blast here and would definitely come back. Drove for an hour to get there and dont regret it at all.

Ok rotation of alcohol, decently priced food.

Its alright although i prefer the early crowd, always a nice selection of beers. The food is good at a fair price and their chicken club sandwich is a nice bite

Great beer selection and quick food service. The little outdoor patio is a great spot to catch lunch. Unfortunately they dont have ping pong and cornhole like the photos suggest.

Nice, old, brick interior vibe with good sound track. Happy Hour with $2 off draft beer. Basic food options, e.g., basket of fries, kale salad. Apple cider average. Most servers friendly. The establishment doesn’t stand out.

First time here. Had a great time met friends had brew and eats. Food was good and service was quick. Cocktails good and lots of choices for brews definitely going back. The music they were playing was ole school and good hits

Great venue for new artists. Stage needs more lights. Strategic located in downtown Berkeley, near Bart station, restaurants and other businesses, like banks and retail stores.

2-26-22 / Real chill bar and music, lots of nooks and crannies. There is a balcony, small outer area with fire pit, area for live shows and a couple of bar areas. Good vibes.

Anywhere Del Amitri plays should automatically get five stars

Great place for live music or chilling with friends. It can get LOUD!

First time Ive wondered in here since the rebuild, and walking around the place looking and hot I can smell it has been redesigned and cleaned up Im remembering many of its past incarnations thalassa Etc oh, and the many nights I spent over the years. The rebuild inside is completely all Hardwood and looks beautiful, the back area has several Oak tables, where one might sneak a smoke and I think, but the thing that makes this place shine really is the excellent stage room, the really nice sound system beautiful Acoustics, and a nice layout. Havent eaten here yet, but I asked the bartender, like I often do, you just make me a fancy-schmancy Tequila drink and he created something for me called a "Peligrosa Formosa" drink made with peligrosa tequila. The staff here is great, and on top of everything going on, bartenders know how to mix drinks and there is an absolutely huge selection of tap beers numbering around 42.I am reviewing this day mostly as a night club or bar, Ill come back at a later date and give a review of the food. So far so good!

We came here with a larger group later on a Friday night after work and I was pleasantly surprised that there was room for us, I thought it might be crazy busy at that hour. The back patio with fire pits is great and the bar is huge with lots of big tables so great for our larger party. The bar staff were very attentive and polite, great beer list and some great whiskeys for reasonable prices! I am old so it was a little louder than ideal for me :But not surprising for a bar/music venue so close to campus. I would definitely go back!

Great food and fantastic atmosphere. We were there for a small venue and it was great being able to relax and eat before the show started. We sat outside next to a fire pit to enjoy our meal and the warmth.My girlfriend had been here several times and always talked it up. Now I know why. Great place!

A welcome addition to Berkeley (3.5 Green Stars)I haven’t written a review for two months – the guilt! Looking through my photos, I’m going to review places where I’ve been, in reverse order. First up is Cornerstone, and I have to say that I’m proud of this photo. A basket of fries and pint of Death & Taxes, sitting on my table in the evening light, took on the gravity and artistry of a masterwork by Vermeer or Degas. Anyhoo, after a solitary start with my beer and fries, it ended up being a big group – a post-lockdown work reunion – and I think everyone was pretty happy with their night.I like Cornerstone because it’s one of those bars where you’re more likely to mix with more people (within your own group or randosrather than somewhere like Jupiter where people tend to not leave their seats. Not that I don’t love Jupiter – the two places are similar in some ways but Cornerstone adds a level of chaos (but in a good way!). Good selection of beer and food, spacious and pretty – what more do you want?I’m also giving the Cornerstone 3.5 out of 5 “Green Stars” for social and environmental impact, based on this:• Large emphasis on local draft beer, which is so much better than packaged beer from afar.• On this visit, the staff ran out of clean glasses and switched to plastic cups. Generally that doesn’t happen but hopefully it won’t become a trend.• The food menu caters well for vegetarians and fairly well for vegans.• No info is provided on social and environmental impact (e.g., food sourcing, staff benefits, etc.)• According to Glassdoor, a server/bartender earns around $16/hr plus around $10/hr in tips.Interested in writing green star reviews?

SUPER CROWDED! interesting they didnt have bouncers up front checking Ids, covid cards,etc. it would save time for bartenders. Service not all that great.Chopped BLT salad was delish as well as the Mac n cheese bites.English Beat show was fantastic!!

Great place to hang out..5 ciders on tap including my favorite Far West Cider..Bartenders super friendly help me decide on which cider to get..also you can buy tickets to the shows there from Bartenders with a Credit/Debit card box office opens at 7:30 PM night of show.

Restaurant had nice ambiance. But the food that we tried, pretty meh. Ordered some Mac and cheese bites, and they tasted like a walk in cooler. Or freezer. Im assuming theyre Frozen and reheated. Which can work. But not here. They stunk. Fries were fresh from the Sysco bag. Wings were okay. But swimming in sauce.Personally, Id advise a quick toss and then plate. Not served like soup.Music venue was fairly well ventilated, which was nice. Decent beer selection.

The few shows Ive seen at this venue havent filled to capacity, which is a bit awkward, but its not for lack of trying. The sound system is great, the music hall is clean, the beer selection is fantastic, and the bands they bring through are solid. Cornerstones been a huge shot in the arm for Bay Area emo and pop punk, which previously was limited to essentially Bottom of the Hill and Slims.Ill keep seeing shows here as long as they keep booking them, and I hope word gets out that Cornerstone is worth the trip from SF. Berkeley is a bit isolated from the rest of that concert scene and late-night BART to the area is a pain but its easily one of the best venues in the region.

Great venue for live music. Sound was good and venue is comfortable, good sight lines and great lite show. Bar has a huge selection of beer on tap and various bar foods, and lots of seating. Great for large groups.

When I go to Berkeley I always try go somewhere different. This time I was invited to Cornerstone Craft Beer. First, let me just say the ambiance of this place chill and casual. I love the options of beer we can choose from. The food is Aaaaamazing! I had BBQ Bacon Burger on a bun with what looked like black sesame seed! That bread was so soft and the meat was so juicy! I also ordered the “make your own sausage tray” it is a must have! You won’t be disappointed! And did I mention there’s a concert venue in back with live bands! This night was a treat because CRSB was performing!!!

Second visit to this venue for music, first time for food.For music, absolutely loved! This time around I saw toyGuitar and Juliette and The Licks. Sold out show and we still had breathing room, which is not always the case wirh other venues so it was greatly appreciated.Our meal took so long though! The super peak is that we did not have to walk around to Will Call, our waitress actually printed them for us, score!

Mike Love! This review is for the concert venue, not the restaurant/bar. Clean and fairly new. It can host a medium ~200 people sized crowd comfortably. Great place to see live performances.

Was a awesome experience last night at Cornerstone. They have a tasty beer selection. The waitress was fantastic outstanding service and the food was excellent. Petty theft put on a good show. The family and I had a great evening of fun.

Cavernous & spacious. Almost to the high-end for flavor & technique on the Manhattan that was ordered. Only one bartender when we went so if its busy, itll take a good few minutes. Outdoor seating in the back is nice. Stage for concert & performances are up the stairs towards the back by the wheelchair lift. Thats where the ping pong, corn hole & huge Jenga & huge connect four are which address probably taken away for Saturday evening performances. Nice people. Would come here again with a group of people.

Nice place with a great selection of craft beers. The outdoor seating in the back with fireplaces is super cozy. Just wished they had a shuffle board or pool table!

Great place for music and games. They also have a great beer selection and a cocktail menu. I even got an Abita root beer to wind the night down.They werent the friendliest with checking IDs though. Maybe theyve had a lot of fakes? They started putting bands on people halfway through the night and checked us while we were sitting. My friend of course had an open tab which required him to leave his ID behind the bar which just added to the confusion.
