Casual, friendly vibe. A great place to go with friends, on date night, or solo (laptops fine). Can bring in food, games, or your dogs. Hoi Polloi is a real gem.“

Takara Sake USA Inc. Brewery • $
708 Addison St, Berkeley

“Love this place! The membership is absolutely worth it if you live in the Bay Area and can visit regularly. The staff are amazing, friendly, welcoming, and great at what they do. The sake quality never disappoints. We always leave with a smile, and every friend I’ve brought here has loved it too. Don’t miss their occasional events, they’re set in such a great atmosphere and make for a truly unique experience! One recommendation would be to open the parking lot for customers on tasting days.“

Cheeseburger and Seasoned Fries

“This has become my favorite brewery to refresh after a bicycle ride across the Berkeley/Oakland hills. They have a huge beer selection and offer all kinds of tasty sandwiches in a relaxing garden atmosphere. I usually order a hefeweizen (relatively low on alcohol) to make it up Grizzly Peak again. After a stronger beer consumption there is always the North Berkeley BART station around the corner as last resort.“

Oakland United Beerworks Brewery •
262 2nd St, Oakland - 5.32 miles

“Such a friendly place for a drink- they offer non-beer alcohol (sangria!) and NA beverages so there's something for every adult.

Very dog friendly place that raises a lot of funds for local charity. One of the owners, Chris, is often around welcoming everyone and may give you free samples!

They have a small bar inside with a new reading nook, and upstairs has tables and high tops. Local clubs happen upstairs, like Magic the Gathering.

Nice outdoor picnic tables. No food though (just snacks), so check out Heschers for Detroit pizza or Original Pattern for Napolitan pizza.“

Enterprise Brewing Co Brewery •
1150 Howard St, San Francisco - 9.96 miles

“This is a small spot in an out of the way street, with good beer and an interesting selection of records that the bartender/dj spins. Certainly different, and a plus, the taps are not loaded with IPAs.

Worth a quick imbibe.

Not much atmosphere on a Tuesday evening. I’d find my couch and cat more exciting than the vibe while I was there … nonetheless, I bet this would be fun on a more hopping evening!

It is a great little hole in the wall, but you gotta reserve 5 stars for place with a more complete atmosphere.“

Barebottle Brewing Company Brewery • $$
1525 Cortland Ave, San Francisco - 11.75 miles

“This is a great place to hang out and have a beer (so many choices!) and they also have food vendors sometimes since they don’t serve food themselves. Just be aware that if the Under Mezzanine area is reserved for an event there’s no access to the arcade games. We had it reserved for an event a couple weeks ago and two kids, about 7 and 10, walked right in and start playing games who mostly ignored us and finally told us “We were told we could be here” after we asked them to leave several times. Thanks to beer, I ended up scolding them to get them to leave and they ran off to tell their parents, to whom I give 0 stars since they came and complained to us even though they’d told their children they could crash our party.“

Tenma Beer Project Brewery •
6510 San Pablo Ave, Oakland - 1.74 miles

“Stopped in Saturday night to grab some freshies and check out the brewery for the first time. Ended up having an amazing conversation with Brennan about beer, music, and community — exactly why I love beer and what the industry should feel like for patrons.

And most importantly: the beer is outstanding. This pils is everything I look for — depth, balance, and character that only comes from time, care, and quality ingredients. By far the best lager in the bay- yeah I said it!

Consider me a future repeat customer 🙌“

My partner (also from Chicago) said his expectations were exceeded. Chicago dog was also tasty. The beer was also flavorful. I would come again!“

Faction Brewing Brewery • $

“Faction Brewing is a wonderful, local brewery! On a perfect day, enjoy a beer or cider on their patio overlooking the San Francisco Bay and city skyline. Catch it on a gloomier day and you can still enjoy a crafted beverage in their large indoor spaces. We host our annual donation drive here in the spring and the staff is always so fantastic. Highly recommend Faction Brewing!“

Staff was very helpful, too. Thanks for a great visit.“

Barebottle Beer Garden at Salesforce Park Brewery • $
Salesforce Park 4th Level, 425 Mission St, San Francisco - 8.82 miles

“Incredibly cool spot to grab a beer. I love that it is positioned in the park. There are lots of seating and people enjoying. It helped that the weather was immaculate. There is no indoor seating it’s all picnic style
I tried the Yosemite Pilsner, which was actually really delicious. Flavorful for a super light beer. Perfect for a spring day.
My brother got the Hef and was equally happy.
Didn’t try the pizza.
The line can get long on weekends but the wait is worth it. If I worked in nearby offices I would probably come here on my lunch.“

Our guests of all ages had an amazing time, and the space created such a fun and memorable atmosphere. It was truly an unforgettable experience all around. I would highly recommend Almanac for any special event!“

Southern Pacific Brewing Brewpubs • $$
620 Treat Ave, San Francisco - 10.91 miles

“Southern Pacific Brewing has a neighborhood vibe but still attracts the usual Mission crowd: tech teams running offsites downstairs, board-game groups locking in upstairs, and locals weaving through it all. The space absorbs volume well and stays functional even when it’s busy. Portions are large across the board, which is part of why the place works for groups. The chicken wings are my go-to and the most reliable item they make. Beer lineup is broad enough to keep everyone covered, and staff keeps service moving without slowdown. It’s an easy, repeatable choice in the Mission with a built-in community feel that delivers a great beer garden feel, indoors a warehouse space.“
