The Rake at Admiral Maltings

We were originally planning to go to the Almanac Adventureland next door, but it was way too crowded and the lines were way too long for both beer and food. So we went to the Rake and it was everything we needed. The beer was awesome, with a varied menu. The food was amazing- my son and I both had the grilled cheese with quince jam and apples. Very tasty. There was plenty of room. The service was great. Very friendly. There was even a cornhole game as competition to the Adventureland next door. We will definitely return.

Fantastic atmosphere with an ocean view was beautiful. They had a great beer selection with several whiskeys made from their signature malt. Great experience.

Great location close by lots of recreational spots on the island and all the homes as well. The Rake has a great selection of brews on tap and great food to enjoy on the chilliest of days. Plenty of parking nearby as well which is welcome especially in the Bay Area. Highly recommended for those in the area or visiting to stop by for a bite and brew.

Mixed feelings about The Rake at Admiral Maltings. Let's do the positives first. - Great selection of beer - Extremely warm and helpful staff - Nice overall vibe to relax with a few friends and lots of drinks Now for the negatives...well, there was only one negative albeit a rather large one. Their BBQ is awful. Not one single BBQ order was decent. The salads were better than the meat, and the tater tots were decent, but we didn't finish any of the plates we ordered. I would recommend eating somewhere else and then coming here for drinks.

Come out and check this place out it's really cool the inside has all the Hops layout inside a room and you could see them through the glass. They also have a really good selection of beers. A nice open floor plan so when you're in Alameda stop by and have yourself a cold one.
