E. J. Phair (Concord)
E.J. Phair’s alehouse and restaurant is in Concord about four blocks from Concord BART. They have 17 taps divided between their own excellent beers and a top-notch array of guest beers. In recent years as they have worked on opening a second location, they have shifted the balance to more guest taps, and have chosen excellent beers from the region. Their outdoor seating overlooks pleasant Todos Santos Square.
Extras: They sell six-packs of their own beer to take away, when available. Concord is often pleasantly warm or even distinctly hot on summer days when San Francisco is cold and foggy, which can be what city dwellers are missing come about the end of July.
2151 Salvio Street, Concord (925) 691-4253
Walking from BART: Exit the west side of the station and walk across the parking lot. Follow signs to Todos Santos Square which will direct you to Grant Street. Turn right onto Grant and walk four blocks to the grassy park on your left (Todos Santos Square). The pub is straight ahead, on the north corner of the square.

William Brand turned me on to your little project (and he may have sent you mine, which is a bachelor party by BART).
It would be great to have links to maps in addition to the written directions, like this:

Could be helpful when they are a bit farther away, such as Drake’s, because it gives distance as well…

Thanks! You’re right … There are map links on each page, in the name of the station at the top of the description. I think we need to at lest add “map” there, and I’ll start doing that now with this page. Those links are based on the BART site mapquest maps rather than via google directly. I see that google does a better job than the BART direction-finder where you input an address and a station. Even though there are no BART icons on the google maps, it’s nicer. Maybe I’ll even do a fancy map mashup next.
Good luck on your party !
