33 Best Beer Bars near Corte Madera

“My favorite! Outdoor seating.“

“Outdoor seating, yummy food, loved the collards.“

“Incredible place with a HUGE tap list!“

“I work nearby, and finally had the opportunity to stop by and have an early evening cocktail. That was the best French 76 I have ever had! The bartenders were friendly and engaging, the music was interesting and fun, and sparked conversation between a few of us strangers at the bar. I love the atmosphere and decor; I think I'll be making more regular stops for sure!“

“Came here for dinner, seated quickly with great service. I really like the food here and the restaurant itself, it’s just the music that doesn’t match 😆 it’s a lot of rap / trap. I’ve been a few times, and I don’t think it matches the atmosphere…it’s hard to hear who you’re talking to sometimes. but the food is good lol.“

“The Rotunda is one of my favorite spaces in San Francisco. I’ve celebrated quite a few milestones in the restaurant, and I plan to return, but today’s service ruined an experience that otherwise could have been quite memorable. For reasons unbeknownst to us, our server was downright hostile. Eye rolls and constipated grimaces were her go-to reactions to each of our benign requests. It got to the point where we became so uncomfortable in her presence, that we shrunk ourselves into obsequious church mice, shivering in her scolding utopia. Truly unacceptable. It was like dealing with Kathy Bates from American Horror Story. She needs a nap or an SSRI.“

“Food was extremely delicious! The best burger I’ve had in the States, we also ordered the steak which was also great and the eggplant sticks with tomato sauce and these were incredible!! the quality of drinks is amazing too. Unfortunately the seats and tables are a bit small and it can be very noisy if the bar is crowded, but still enjoyable“

“Delicious pizza, friendly people! 🙂“

“Creekside offers a great assortment of beers, wine. tasty pizza and other comfort foods, healthy salads all served by the friendliest staff and owners you could wish for!🍺“

“Awesome and women-owned! Let's bask in the light of this great community of women in the Bay! Love this place!“

“food was very good. good location for big groups“

“Nice place to watch sports“

“Really delicious! I got the surfer mermaid zapato which is a burrito but toasted crusts kinda like a panini. The habanero sauce (added after) was great and not spicy. Will definitely be coming back!

There’s an entire vegetarian menu page! No protein option, but still good.

Vegetarian options: Burritos, nachos, tacos, and sides!

Dietary restrictions: There’s an entire vegetarian menu page! No protein option, but still good.

Kid-friendliness: Ample seating. Bit dark and loud inside.“

“What could have been a less-than-pleasant review has turned into a 4/5 stars for me thanks to one of the co-owners jumping in to take care of us. It was 1pm on a Saturday, we came in the server working told me to order at the bar if I wanted to sit outside. He didn't bother to mention that they're only serving the brunch menu and the hard copy menu I grabbed from a table didn't have dates/times specified for service hours. Turns out they're ONLY serving brunch at 1pm... and NONE of the items we wanted (including my starving toddler) were available. I'm super appreciative of the co-owner who followed us outside and offered to check in with the chef about food options. The kitchen made my kiddo mac 'n' cheese and salmon tacos, saving my sanity.

This was completely unexpected and changed my perception of the restaurant. I'll be coming back, this time when they're serving the lunch/dinner menu so we can try everything else we wanted.

Seating isn't great for kids who aren't tall enough for bar stools. There was one standard height table in the parklet and one inside.“

“My go to. Constantly delish for the past 30 years.“

“Amazing 🤩 Great service and tasty food“

“Visiting from AK. Stepped into The Library bar of the Bourbon and Branch offering and it was a wonderful experience. Was looking for amazing cocktails, chill atmosphere with a cool vibe and the bar and Anastasia (bartender) delivered on all three. Made a solid classic old fashioned with a twist then introduced me to a black manhattan that was exactly what I needed to add to my drink repertoire. It may be a hidden gem as far as finding the entrance but worth every mystery.“

“Decent beer and welcoming company.“

“Wonderful experience and everyone is friendly The music is great And drinks are amazing“

“The ramen tastes very good, the soup base is rich and the noodles taste great“

“Internos isn’t just a bar—it’s a place that feels like home. It’s where friends gather, where familiar faces always seem to circle back, and where the atmosphere is as warm as it is welcoming. The heart of it all is Tony. He’s one of the kindest people you’ll ever meet, and his genuine warmth makes every visit special. Honestly, I’d come back just to chat with him, but the drinks alone would keep me returning too. The beer list is excellent—great options on tap plus a thoughtful selection of cans—and the wines cover the full spectrum, so there’s something for everyone. It’s our favorite spot, hands down.“

“The best! Great hospitality; Lalo is a great cook!“

“They finally got a good beer, a dopplebock. Vegetarian sausage. The service is always great. I love this 130+ year-old place. Now if they only brought in the Weihenstephan Doppelbock (Korbinian) on draft it would be perfect in the cold San Francisco weather.“

“Our wedding reception (hosted here) was absolutely epic! The entire experience at Sweetwater exceeded all our expectations, and we couldn't be happier with how everything turned out.

The staff were exceptional--professional, attentive, and so genuinely fun. The service was impeccable, and they made sure that every detail was handled with care and efficiency. We felt incredibly supported throughout the entire event.

The food was truly delicious! Our guests were raving about how good everything was. We had fun putting the menu together, we appreciated the suggestions. It all came together amazingly.

The vibe was on point! The lighting on stage during performances was perfect--creating a magical atmosphere that complemented our theme beautifully. The way everything was set up was just right and made the evening so special. We especially appreciated being able party late - the fact that we could stay until 1am was very unique for a wedding venue. It made for an extended night of celebration and joy that we will cherish forever.

The planning process was smooth and enjoyable. The team's dedication and attention to detail were evident in every aspect of the evening, and we couldn't have asked for a better venue to host our wedding reception.“

“Tell me why when I first opened the delivery box of galbi boneless chicken and stabbed what I thought was a French fry with my fork, I literally did a chew double-take and removed the tteokbokki from my mouth because my taste buds were so thrown off from what I was expecting. I really should’ve known better, but I’m accustomed to seeing tteokbokki drenched in a gochujang based sauce, so they deceptively resembled fries. To be fair, from this experience, I learned they taste way better dry and seasoned, but I digress.

Onto the main part of the review…

As I’ve written in a couple other reviews this week, I’m “researching” the best Korean fried chicken spots in San Francisco to determine which to order from for an upcoming Friendsgiving. I looked up a ton of options in the city and narrowed them down to a shortlist of 3 spots, this place included. A few things I examined to create my short list were varieties/flavours of chicken, quantity to price ratio, other customer ratings, images of the chicken, and proximity to my neighborhood or deliverability to my friends’ neighborhood where the Friendsgiving will be hosted.

When I took the first bite of K Soul chicken, I knew I’d found a winner. I’m very particular about KFC having spent the last few years living in LA and Orange County, home to copious dedicated KFC restaurants. K Soul’s chicken tastes the most similar to my favourite spots in SoCal. It has the perfect texture and crunch, the meat is neither dry nor greasy, and the umami flavor is on point. They’ve created a perfectly balanced KFC, and that’s why I’ll be taking this to Friendsgiving.“

“Reservations are really hard to get, ended up going at Monday 10pm for a party of 3. It was definitely good, but maybe a bit over hyped. Portions were small but flavor was good. Black pepper steak was delicious, but the drinks were what really stood out. We got the Osthmanthus Lemon and the Chinese Almond Milk high balls and they were some of the best cocktails I've ever tried. Good service and really nice vibe. 4 stars for the difficulty getting in and value.“

“Great pub in the Montclair Village. It's a 5-star for me especially for the convenience, but I would totally recommend it to anyone looking for a great Irish-style pub. Also great for parties with a dedicated room that can be booked! Love their drinks and food“

“For bar food, this place is great! Chicken fingers were homemade & tender, delicious. Patty melt was fantastic. Great cocktails & beer. Max was fabulous. Nice movies on different screens / TVs on silent to enjoy. Good music. Nice vibes.“

“I've visited this place and I have a regret not making the right move to meet a nice lady who's approached me really nice and gentle. I wish there's a second chance. I feel sad about it...Bar and music were really good and a nice bartender“

“If you’re looking for a full service bar, with great apps and some good food definitely the spot to check out. Nicole was very attentive and the best part very keen to having lighthearted and enjoyable conversation.A clean bar, with great ingredients and great presentation. I’m definitely glad to have stopped by, thanks Nicole!“

“Fantastic artisan food. Handmade corn tortillas & quesadillas made from organic corn ground daily in house. Farmers Market ingredients & sustainably sourced proteins. Local new chef/owner & partner are committed to building a community hub around food made with LOVE!“

“Great service, the waiter was very nice and the food was delicious“

“We have such a great time, owner so nice. We even had the same last name. Food was excellent“
