First Street Alehouse — Restaurant in Livermore

Staff great...food fine but tiny flies and big flies. Yes patio seating, but wait folks...food is hardened on table and not removed just pushed below surface by wiping. Not really cleaned. They'll have to under table with scrapers first of all. Like gum removal metal or better yet wire bristle and remove the old darkened food bits 1st! THEN utilize bleach tags scrubbing areas that were holy-openings and thoroughly g.j ht scrub letting bleach solution percentage by Alameda Co. Health regualtion[no I didnt repott-hey owners opportunity arises for you and your Staff before opening-street teams) and THEN use disinfectant properly so they wont be attracted to our food constantly. Yes outside is one thing but right outside the door and not just flies. Tetsie flies in out breakfast. CLEAN UP. Food is meadioker but that's not why people flock here. They're here for the beer and alcohol. Prices are good too. I mean where can you go in the Tri-Valkey and get breakfast for 12.99 ? Here. Plenty of coverage. At night you cant a table in our popular outside. Most popular cafe/bar in Downtown Livermore PERIOD. Good for them. If they take time for a pro cleaning crew (outside holed black tables so liquids can fall through). Theve Bern here for a while and you know food build up can happen especially walls under tables like beebs. But if they got that patio prepared in that dept. They'd get a four star Yelp from our Family. Wente has more customers. But outright busiest place night or day in Livermore hands down for dining. Table not visible in photos....

I just wrapped up a visit to First Street Alehouse in downtown Livermore, CA, and it did not disappoint – an ideal spot if you’re hunting for the best burger in Livermore and top‐notch gastropub vibes . I dove into their Jalapeño Burger and wow: a juicy all-beef patty grilled to perfection, topped with fiery pickled jalapeños, melted pepper jack cheese, and a cool avocado crema that balanced every bite. The garlic fries deserve a standing ovation too—crispy shoestring fries tossed in rich garlic butter and parsley, with just the right hit of salt. To wash it down, I sampled a glass of local Livermore Valley red—it had bright berry notes and a smooth finish that paired beautifully with the heat of the burger.

Whether you’re craving garlic fries, a spicy burger, or a glass of Livermore wine, this gastropub checks all the boxes.

Pretty good! Had the ahi tuna tacos. I love the large strips of tuna and avocado, but thought the meal really needed to be tied together a bit more, flavor-wise. The taco shells are incredibly tiny, yet packed to overflowing with the salad which makes them difficult to eat without dumping all the good stuff - tuna and avocado - out on the plate. The ponzu "sauce" is really needed for flavor (surprisingly, the ahi and avocado are rather plain without), but it really needs to be a sauce and not liquid, or a proper dipping bowl should be provided and not the teeniest cap-sized cup I've ever seen. Beer battered fries are good but tend to be a little limp instead of crispy. Garlic fries are all right, but it's your standard, not-seasoned-at-all large steak fries with grated cheese and bits of garlic heaped on top. Fries desperately need flavor so the mouthful of unimaginative potato is not so overwhelming.. or just more of the ranch dressing, which was good, but sad that you need to pile on ranch in order to make garlic fries pleasing.

Might be worth a second shot, but I would try something else. I did really like the root...
