Our story

Food. Beer. Community.

Laughing Monk started brewing in San Francisco's Bayview neighborhood in 2016, and has since made more than 300 unique beers — sours, Belgians, lagers, stouts and the IPAs that rotate every month.

Our Sunnyvale gastropub sits beside a small lake, with a lake view room, a patio and spacious event space. It's a place to watch the game, catch up with friends and family, or host your next party — just minutes from Levi's Stadium, SAP Center and PayPal Park.

"The name comes from the stories of Abbey & Trappist monks breaking their daily fast with a strong ale — and the thought that the day's work goes a lot more cheerfully after one or two."Why we're called Laughing Monk
