An outdoor taproom and event venue in Atwater
The Tarmac is Blaker Brewing's Atwater taproom and outdoor event venue. Two bars, a stage under open sky, a covered patio, and a rotating lineup of the valley's best food trucks. Come for a pint after work. Stay for whoever's playing.
It's also the biggest room we have - 2,000 people, and that's seated, not standing - which is why it does double duty as one of the largest event venues in the valley. Same beer, same people, a lot more room.

Four rooms, one venue
The Taproom - Indoors, and the bar most nights start at. Blaker beer straight from the source, plus wine, specialty cocktails and a full non-alcoholic list.
The Back Patio - Open-air, shaded, and where the afternoon sets happen. Bring your own chair if you have a favorite; there is plenty of seating either way.
The Annex - The flexible room. Line dancing on Fridays, private parties the rest of the time.
The Tower Stage - Live music under the open sky, all ages.
The food is never ours, and that is the point
We don't run a kitchen. We run a rotation. A different truck most nights, and over the years that has meant Runner Runner Pizza, La Patrona, Phantom's, Torres, El Sazon Sinaloense, Carmelita's, Serrano's Mexican Grill, Chubby's, Chole Bhature Spot, Phet Noi Kitchen, REI Teppanyaki, Kita's Thai Food and Antojitos Bros.
