35 Best Beer Bars near Corte Madera

“My favorite! Outdoor seating.“

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

“Love the Niman Ranch grilled beef hot dog. Order the ‘Niman Marcus combo with grilled onions’“

“Incredible place with a HUGE tap list!“

“Wow, what a great find. We actually came to this neighborhood intending to eat somewhere else but were enticed by the promise of pizza dough that is allowed to rise for 72 hours and is thus more light and crispy. That's a big promise, but these guys DELIVER! This could very well be the best pizza (or pinsa) we have ever had in our lives. It was amazingly light and crisp. Without exaggeration, this was actually better than anything we had in Rome. We had the heavenly mushroom and margarita pizzas, which were both delicious (but we preferred the mushroom pizza by a hair).

Service was friendly, atmosphere felt like a cozy European place. By all means, give them a try. You will not be disappointed.“

“Its been a while since I have been here. Loved it before, still loving it now. Food was excellent! Enjoyed the tuna tartare and the shrimp&lobster risotto! Shared the special apple bread pudding with cream! Service was attentive and thoughtful! The space beautiful in its natural light. Would always recommend.“

“Wonderful pub atmosphere nestled into San Francisco. Came here for lunch while in the city. The value and quality of the food was very good. Had the loaded fries and a burger, and couldn’t finish them all they were so filling! Also the Guinness on draft was as it should be, full of nitro.“

“Delicious pizza, friendly people! 🙂“

“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.“

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

“If you love beer, you'll love this place. Many taps that rotate through San Francisco's locally made beer scene. From the people that opened Chomp & Swig, while both places have grill cheese, Richmond Republic Draught House has burgers, chicken sandwiches, salads, salmon, and other tasty stuff. Soon, they will have a full liquor license! Now I'm feeling the need to go there later for a pint and some food!“

“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!🍺“

“Delicious!! I got the ½ Dungeness crab, and it was juicy, flavorful, just wonderful. And the garlic bagna calda is always amazing.“

“Huge shoutout to Tony for the A1 hospitality. My girlfriend and I stumbled upon this place while celebrating our anniversary and we hope to be back soon. Great selection of wines and beer on tap with lots of bottled options as well. Real cozy vibe at Internos and top notch service!“

“We did a little bar hopping around the various options at Bourbon & Branch and we LOVED the Library Bar. Oscar was so friendly and really welcoming! Boy did he make a great cocktail. We were celebrating my boyfriend’s birthday and Oscar helped me make it special!“

“Came here New Year’s Eve and they’re open! Amazing friendly cozy clean ambience ❤️ we got the goat curry, chicken curry, jhol momo and they were all delicious - rich but not overpowering. The carrot pudding was a tad too sweet for me but still good. Def coming back !!“

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

“You’re experiencing Europe in a whole new way right here! The food is great, with flavors that transport you across the Atlantic. They have an impressive selection of beers, both draft and bottled, so there’s something for everyone. The staff is fantastic – friendly, attentive, and really make you feel at home. A must-visit spot if you’re looking for that European vibe!“

“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.“

“Amazing 🤩 Great service and tasty food“

“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.“

“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.“

“New recipes with the most amazing, home-made, wide noodles made our first inside visit in over a year a culinary celebration. And, as always, the staff is top-notch. Highly recommended!“

“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“

“Love this place! Every Tuesday night the trivia is great fun and Mia runs the bar on her own like a superstar. Single-handedly never keeping anyone waiting in a busy bar.I gave 5 stars for food because they let you bring in your food for the Trivia and you are spoilt for choice around Chestnut street!“

“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.“

“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!“
