Handles on Main, is pleased to introduce Pleasanton to one of the most exciting food and drink concepts hitting the U.S. restaurant scene, the American Gastropub. The concept behind the American Gastropub is a “community” establishment that places an equal emphasis on both the menu as well as the Public House. Handles on Main will fully embrace this concept and the menu will feature seasonally driven American comfort food inspired by Chef, and Bay Area native, Brian Hampton. The Public House showcases 30 craft beers, 16 local wines on tap, wine by the bottle, and a full bar. The atmosphere is casual and friendly with the goal of becoming Pleasanton’s favorite neighborhood establishment. Handles has a custom beverage system to allow for over 46 craft beers and wines to be offered by the glass directly from the Handle.
In addition to the seasonal menu and specials, Handles on Main offers numerous special events focused on food, beer and wine education. Chef Brian has hosted many food pairing events in the past, and he looks forward to offering not only traditional wine pairing events, but also to introduce patrons to the concept of pairing a five course dinner with local craft beers. To demonstrate Handles’ commitment to the balance of food and drink, the Handles’ team will include a seasoned cicerone to run the craft beer program. A cicerone is an emerging certification program that requires individuals to demonstrate a mastery in the art of beer and brewing, similar to a sommelier’s knowledge of wine.
Handles on Main will also continue to offer the community many of the services that they have become accustomed to from previous restaurants at the Pleasanton Hotel, entertainment, special events, and a full host of banquet options. “We will be upgrading all of our banquet facilities so that we can continue to be a destination for our guest’s special occasions and celebrations,” added Brent Schwager, Handles on Main General Manager.
