Bubbles & Brew — Restaurant in Morgan Hill

We popped into this spot after brunch nearby (because you can never have too many weekend beverages), and before heading off to our next wine tasting. It’s a cozy little place, with a surprisingly spacious outdoor patio called Grant’s Garden, which is actually bigger than the indoor space. Nature wins again.

It was mellow when we arrived—just one other group hanging outside around 1pm on a Saturday. Chill vibes, shade, and wine? Say less.

We wandered in through the side entrance and snagged a table in the back. There are tons of tables and chairs, most with umbrellas for when the sun decides to do its thing. Bonus points for the built-in fire pit tables and a small stage setup—apparently they host live music, which sounds like an ideal pairing with a cold glass of bubbles on a hot day.

INSIDE: The interior is clean, bright, and quietly charming. TVs were on playing a mix of sports and news (so you can pretend to be informed while sipping rosé), and there were plenty of open seats and a bar with extra room if you prefer that vibe.

DRINKS: Their wine list is solid—reds, whites, sparkling, rosé, dessert wines, and bubbly cocktails. You can order by the glass or commit to the whole bottle (no judgements either way). Not into wine? They’ve also got beer, cider, and non-alcoholic options, so everyone’s included!

FOOD: We were too full from brunch to order food (tragic, I know), but the menu looked seriously tempting. Think flatbreads, sandwiches, tacos, salads, Mediterranean bites, crostini, and classic cheese/charcuterie boards. Basically, all the things that go perfectly with wine and sunshine.

SERVICE: The woman working was super friendly and answered our wine-related questions with the patience of someone who knows the stakes are high when it comes to picking the right pour. She made sure we were well taken care of, even though we were mostly just here to sip and chill for a bit.

BOTTOM LINE: This place is a hidden gem for wine lovers and patio loungers alike. Whether you’re popping in for a casual glass or settling in for the long haul with a bottle and a flatbread, it’s a lovely place to hang. I’ll definitely be back to try the food and catch a live music set—ideally with a glass of something bubbly in...

I seldom write reviews, however felt compelled to share mv view of Bubbles & Brew. Having the opportunity to experience a wide variety of food, beverages, and services from establishments all over the world for many years may provide a little context. I’m often surprised when reading a review where people are frustrated with their experience, related to either the food or services and judge the overall establishment. An employee may be having a bad day, a cook may be overwhelmed at the time, or the food may not meet your expectations every time, which is likely to happen in any service establishment at some point. When an establishment is busy, service will be impacted, it’s common sense. What I’ve learned is we as consumers should take a moment to share this with management in a polite and professional manner if our food or service results a negative experience. Most times, management will be appreciative and address the issue. My wife and I have been visiting Bubbles for years, and have become repeat customers based on their delicious food, wine options, and pleasant service. Not much of a beer enthusiast so unable to provide input with regards to the beer selection. We like the option to sit on the patio, indoors, or in the garden, based on who we’re with and weather. If you're looking for a unique relaxing experience with delicious food you will not be disappointed with your visit to Bubbles. I bring friends, family, and business professionals to Bubbles and the feedback has been consistent, positive and memorable. It’s also the reason we frequent this...

This weekend my wife and I decided to check out Bubbles after they added a beer garden to their establishment. As huge Running Shop & Hops fans, we wanted to check out their offerings.

When we arrived I mentioned the beer garden and was quickly pointed to sit either inside the bar or out front. We were never given the opportunity to check out the garden. Once we sat out front, we were presented with menus. When I asked if they had any pilsners, is when I was given their beer menu. The prices appear to be a little higher than the Running Shop and obviously, the selection is a lot smaller. I ordered a pilsner and my wife ordered a flight of Pinot Noir.

As for food, this is where our experience took a turn for the worst. I ordered a pretzel and cheese and my wife ordered the strawberry and brie crostini. No kidding, it took 15-20 minutes to get the pretzel and another 15-20 minutes to get the crostini. By the time the crostini arrived, I was already done with the pretzel. When I asked why the crostini was taken so much more time than the pretzel I was told that the pretzel cooks faster. NOTE TO THE COOK: DON'T FIRE THE PRETZEL UNTIL THE OTHER ITEMS ARE ALMOST DONE! Nobody wants to eat alone.

Also, all crostinis are, are pieces of bread with melted brie and a slice of strawberry on top. It shouldn't take 30 to 35 minutes to prepare.

All in all, our visit was very disappointing. The service was poor, the food took F-O-R-E-V-E-R and beer aspect feels like an afterthought. It's too bad because we were thinking of hosting a birthday there since they offer both...
