A great place to stop and enjoy an oven fired pizza and a cold beer!! The bartender/managers Michelle and Luis were friendly and knowledgeable!
The variety of beer was great!
I highly recommend a visit here if you’re in Lodi 👍

First time there. It was hot inside. Servers weren't very friendly or accommodating. We arrived and no one helped us out. We then went on to order pizzas and were told we can't do half and half on them. The cooking time took about 15-20 mins. Pizzas and garlic cheese bread was ok. We spent about $60 for a group of 4 which wasn't bad.

Super delishhh pizza!

Thin crust, incredible ingredients and sauce make their pizzas the best.

It's a busy and popular brewery, be prepared to wait a bit.

Even though the beer is warm, flat, and tastes like Bud Lights urine after the Asparagus Festival, this place is still one of my top 1000 favorite beer joints in Lodi. Not only do they have beer, they have "food" too, which is mildly overpriced and definitely from Costco (just like at home!) and if you know the password, I'm told there's a small pharmacy in the back. I haven't personally gotten any Rx there, but I know people who swear by the quality of ...stuff available. Anyway I don't go much anymore, mainly because my love for lukewarm, fermented hyena drool is eclipsed only by my desire to not be present during a police raid, which might be tonight, might be next week., could be any old time. Cheers!

Great place. Great space. Great beer. Really good pizza.

Lodi, California has several breweries and Five Window Beer Co. is def worth a visit.

I started with a flight as I usually do at craft breweries. Gives me a good overview.

Let me tell you-zero disappointments. From their English Mild to Dry Stout to Hazy Trip Triple IPA and everything in between, these beers were “sure, I’ll have another” super tasty!

Special mentions go to Hazy Trip Triple IPA clocking in at about 10% ABV but you’d never know it. There’s no hit you over the head alcohol taste to it. But if you drink a couple of these, it’s Uber time!

Other special mention is their Cream Ale. This 7.7% ABV bad boy tastes damn good and drinks easy. Balanced. After my flight, this is what I had a pint of and I’m ready for another!

Bartender Eddie knows his stuff and helped me out with spot on beer info. Both bartenders took care of business very well during the busy time I was there while remaining friendly and courteous. They help folks have a good time.

Off to one side is the pizza counter and brick oven. I ordered my pizza at the bar. A short time later, I was chowing down on a crispy pie. It was good and I’d order another pie on my next visit.

Plenty of seating here. Spacious. Lots of parking on the uncontested street.

If you want outstanding, brewed on premise, righteously tasty beer while in Lodi, make sure you hit Five Window.

This is not a beer drinkers brewery or a music lovers venue, the only thing keeping it from one star is the pizza, which is solid. Had two different IPA's last weekend and both were objectively bad by any evaluation standards. One was the OG IPA and it was stale, flat and obviously oxidized, the cardboard and diacetyl notes were only punctuated by the sharp imbalanced bitterness on the finish. The other IPA, mango-something, came from a can (I thought it was on draft since we ordered at the bar) and was also oxidized, but also super yeasty and grassy (also made me gassy, thanks yeast!). We came for the Expendables show and at one point waited an hour in line for the two mediocre IPA's. One might assume that a show at a brewery would have many ways to get a beer in short order, but no, that was not the case. The line's for beer were long and the bathrooms even longer. Amp Melo ended up being cool, we vibed to him while we stood in the long beer line. The Expendables ended up coming on around 8:30pm and even that part of the experience wasn't great. We were a few feet from the audio mix position and a song or two into the set the audio was sounding real bad, the bass was super overbearing (don't get me wrong, drop de bass) and the drummers vocal mix was so over-gained and bass heavy it was distorting the rest of the sound every time he sang. At one point the sound guy almost got into a fight and although there was some refinement to the mix, at multiple points my wife and I were like what song is this? The Expendables were clearly putting their all into the show, respect to the whole band we love you guys!, and in a few moments we really had fun dancing and vibing, but an amazing show it was not.

Friends, I want Five Window to do well, I love the location and feel of the place, but unless they are going to invest in freshness and quality they should cut Beer Co. out of the name, let the professionals put on outdoor concerts, and focus on what is probably the best thing there, the pizza.
