“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.”

5 Woods Lowside

4.7 Superb 87 Reviews

530 Haight Street, San Francisco · 12 miles

• Delivery

“Fabulous spot for interesting wine and beer and if your timing is right, great food! Even when the kitchen is closed, non-sold out empanadas are fabulous. We were early on a Sunday afternoon and the picnic table filled patio was mostly open. Later, lots of duds came in with their people. Diverse clientele both human and canine. Inside room is spacious plus bar seating. Very friendly service. Would be my hangout if I were local. Each bathroom has a cool character, good TP but not a fan of locker room brown paper hand towel dispensers. Grade A, bathroom B, over all, A-.”

7 Sante Adairius Rustic Ales Oakland Arbor

4.9 Superb 86 Reviews

460 8th Street, Oakland · 8.24 miles

“Sante Adairius truly makes some world-class beer. They have a versatile lineup all the way from West Coast IPAs to saisons, making their taprooms a true beer lover's dream. I didn't catch our bartender's name, but he was very friendly and fun to chat with. Can't wait to come back next time we're in town!”

8 Enterprise Brewing Co

4.8 Superb 57 Reviews

1150 Howard Street, San Francisco · 11.04 miles

“Small brewing and bar operation. Walking in it looks a bit industrial, rustic and impersonal with a concrete and brick motif but give it a minute and it turns out to be a warm place with friendly people and a great guy pouring a nice pint. Shout out to Jesse Hayter! Bartender – creating a unique and individual experience for every patron… the relaxing atmosphere helped us connect with a couple of others, an architect from the neighborhood, a guy reading a book… They play vinyl records on a DJ deck … mostly “oldies” of some sort and leaning country bluegrass during our visit. They have a good selection of 45s and albums for sale, including pre-packaged “mystery” packages at reduced prices. Bar seating of 10 or so, plus four high top tables inside. There’s a window bar to stand inside or on the sidewalk. They are located just down the street from Frisco Choppers, so occasionally you need earmuffs when a big chopper heads down the street. Local and friendly patrons, plus a friendly bartender and good beer make this a great off-the-radar stop.”

9 Brix Factory Brewing

4.8 Superb 57 Reviews

2400 Mandela Parkway, Oakland · 6.83 miles

“Brix is a gem! The bartenders are very friendly and knowledgeable, and make great recommendations if you’re not sure which beer to order. Usually I let the bartender Kira pick a beer for me and she never misses! There’s a bunch of different food trucks that come, and a great pizza spot next door so you’re able to bring your own food. Brix also hosts fun events like animal adoption, clothing swaps, art shows, and even drag shows occasionally. Definitely a great and welcoming place to hang out and grab a drink!”

10 Hoi Polloi Brewing Taproom and Beat Lounge

• Take-Out

“Such a terrific little bar! Top notch, small batch beers from talented local brewers. Something for everyone: IPAs, pales, pilsners, saisons, sours, and (often) my favorite Belgian beer styles. 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.”

“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 🙌”

1402 Grant Avenue, San Francisco · 9.6 miles

“As someone with Celiac disease who *loves* beer, I was thrilled to find Otherwise Brewing. They have the biggest selection of gluten free beers that I have found yet. I enjoyed getting a flight and sampling several of their beers. I really enjoyed the pale ale, the IPA and the stout. Staff was very helpful, too. Thanks for a great visit.”

• Take-Out

“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!”

28 Citizen Pizza

4.0 Good 4 Reviews

1160 Sixth Street, Berkeley · 2.45 miles

“I LOVE this pizza. Knuckle head flavor is my favorite (sausage, red onion, mushrooms). A lot of meat eaters and vegetarians love and prefer their Margherita. It's a thin pizza, similar to New York, I hear. Love their crust. Quality ingredients. Eat it fast as it cools down quickly. Careful with the first slice as the crust is very thin and the toppings can slide off. I love that we can enjoy beverages at Fieldwork and enjoy Citizen Pizza at the tables. I prefer their knucklehead, but my partner prefers Margherita. So, what to do? No worries! Depending on which you pick, you can get these two flavors, one flavor on each half of the pizza - half and half. They'll just charge you for the pricier costing one. Vegetarian options: Margherita pizza, shishito peppers, popcorn, vegan pizza”

• Take-Out

“For sake and wine lovers alike this place is a must! Learn about Sake while enjoying a guided tasting to help you deepen your knowledge about the difference between each type of Sake available. The next step is to watch a short video of how Sake it’s actually brewed followed by a visit to their museum where they have gathered many of the old and original equipments to brew Sake, I haven’t seen anything like this anywhere in the US. I hope you too enjoy it as much as we did!”
