Caps & Taps is nice little taproom and bottle shop in the East Bay town of Dublin. It’s a rather small and plain looking room with a big craft beer profile. There is a small bar with six seats and a sizable standing bar separating it from five picnic-style tables. It features 13 taps and more than 50 bottles to choose from. Most of the bottles are kept cool and there are also a couple of shelves maintained at room temperature. You can buy bottles to drink there or take away for the same price.
The tap list is well curated and ever changing. Many local beers are available. Imports and a wider array of domestics are available by bottle. The servers are knowledgeable. Flights of four beers can be selected. Tastes and half-pours are available.
There is no food other than bar snacks. You are welcome to order in food from any of the restaurants nearby. There are even menus on-hand for some of them.

Extras: The Iron Horse Trail connects all the way to Concord which can make for a nice pub-by-bike day. The trail is flat, paved and separated from traffic save for cross streets. It is multi-use so bring your bike bell (it’s actually the law in Regional Parks) to alert pedestrians as you pass. There are BART stations close to the trail at various points.
