50 Best Beer Bars in San Francisco

“Had dinner there, it's not bad food but def not food worth waiting for.

We waited a bit over 1h as my wife really wanted to try their smash burgers. Nothing special. Veggie patties was pretty meh. The lack of fries also made it not as much fun. Pizza was very well made but nothing unique besides that. The vodka sauce pizza mostly tasted like marinara.

Wait management was also a little annoying as originally they had said 30m, then said 20 more and then 15 more.“

“Incredible place with a HUGE tap list!“

“Every drink is handled with care.“

“I’m punjabi and this is authentic punjabi food - we got rogan josh - yumm
the surprise was the hyderabadi vegetable mix w apricots - delicious

the naan was my fav coz i’m so picky about naans. It’s light but not too light. Naan should have some weight to it and the flakiness comes from the top crust.

Gavin was our server and delightful and attentive. Can’t wait to to back“

“What a great little spot! Found the restaurant on Resy, and had a good time there. Excellent PINSA — expect more dough (very fresh and tasty) and a different size perfect for sharing over a glass of wine. I tried their carbonara pinsa, and I it was nothing short of amazing. The place closes early (as most of SF) so I highly recommend arriving there early for a great dinner. Worth to mention that their prices are very reasonable.“

“Truly unbelievable ambience, service, wine and food. A place I take friends in town, go for date nights, special occasions, weeknight relief, and everything in between. Something new to try by the glass every time (but I go straight for the bottles!! Some serious gems!)“

“Idk. After doing 2 months in the heat id thought get a warm welcome but instead i got sus looks and cold attitude, i have a high suspicion its the way I was dressed or presented myself? Thought we werent supposed to judge people on their appearances, I guess that aint the norm here. I got my drinks and tipped them. Ill come back again and again cause its my local bar. Ill never forget. U know who u are. Thanks and god bless. I forgive u. Be aware folks.“

“One of our favorite SF lunch / happy hour locations on a day with nice weather. Pro tip - the hoagies are huge, and easily shareable. As two vegetarians, we always split a cauliflower hoagie plus the spicy cheese spread and are never disappointed! Great beer and wine selection as well!“

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

“Great place for a beer before a show at The Independent“

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

“Monoghans is the best bar in sf hands down. What makes it so
Special to me is their bartender Jess. She is such a warm soul who I enjoy seeing everytime I visit! Plus their pool table is the best in SF. 10/10 recommend and shoutout Jess the 🐐“

“Great burgers, delicious desserts, and awesome staff!“

“I love wings. So I was stoked when my pals wanted to come here after Hardly Strictly on Sat. To make it easy for the group I ordered 2 batches of 20 wings, a bunch of beers and a few fries and some Brussels sprouts. Easy split of $200. The wings were really good. Meaty and well seasoned. The sauces - ranch and blue cheese - were extra but whatever. The nice guy working there brought out some extra trays because we overflowed from our table and made it easier for us to split the goods. They even kindly gave us a heads up for last call for those who wanted a beer before closing. And all with a super chill attitude. I live closer to the divis location and based on the experience here will try that location too! Wing lovaaaahhhh!“

“good food and drinks! Laid back, fun , casual neighborhood bar, New England pub atmosphere,.“

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

“Amazing 🤩 Great service and tasty food“

“One of the best beer selection focused joints in the mission if not San Francisco. They almost always carry heady topper. They have excellent sour beer flights. These guys know what they’re doing. Additionally, I have had their hanger steak four times. Each time I was left aghast at how consistently amazing it was.“

“Really fun place. Probably the best house made tortilla chips I’ve ever had. Pliney on tap and beyond that a great selection. We both had salads and they were excellent. Burger was solid. Taco was mid for the price. It’s a 4.6 and that’s about what it should be at.“

“Delicious pizza, friendly people! 🙂“

“Wow I’m amaze how the taste of their wings and fries I love it a lot. Just glad my sister take me here and the lady allow us to bring her dogs. It was such a nice gesture. Will definitely come back for their wings and will try their burgers

Food: Excellent
Service: excellent
Atmosphere: excellent“

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

“Everything about this lovely little place is perfect. The service was fantastic and everything is cute and clean, the big open windows looking out onto Mission Street were especially nice. The sausages and pretzels are amazing. You can also get fresh sausages to take home. I especially like the duck, and the boar sausages.“

“Kiosk for ordering, so no human interaction. I can’t really compare what I ate with other Mexican restaurants because of dietary restrictions. We had tacos: hand made blue corn tortillas! Meat had a charred flavor and was of good consistency. Quesabirria eas nice the consume was on good too. Overall great experience.“

“Nice place to dine in with family and friends“

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

“This past Saturday I decided to check out this place with my friends after the game. They have a variety of drink selections and a decent food menu options, including some vegetarian-friendly dishes. Service was 10/10! The girl who was helping us was friendly and patient with my friend, when she was struggling because of her English. All of us had a great time here. Glad we decided to give this place a try and will return!

Inner Richmond is not the most difficult neighborhood to find parking for in the city, but it can still be a hit or miss. Recommend people to just Lyft/Uber/Waymo.“

“Phenomenal Service specially from Rachel shes amazing. For me the Food was great and tasty. I love the Lobster Bisque Soup it was creamy and tasty.
Caesar Salad was good too. The Sea Bass fish was tasty but its a Small portion fish but taste awesome.

Creme Brulee was good.
The coffe latte was just Ok liek normal average latte.
Ambiance was awesome, price was reasonable, i love the design of this restaurant, very elegant, classy, its huge and bright, unique.❤😋“

“I kept wondering if Mrs Craig Vanessa was really an expert trader like they say, that she is not a scammer like the others, then I contacted her and I was shocked and amazed that with just $1,500 I invested, Mrs. Craig Vanessa helped me managed my account and after 7 Days of trading, I made my first withdrawal of $16,700. I'm here to testify the good work of her after she made a good profit for me in my investment. She's reachable via WhatsApp with the number on her Facebook: Mrs Craig Vanessa“

“A great place to enjoy a cold beer with great views of the bay and great vibes. I have been several times and always enjoy myself. I recently went to watch world cup, and another time after a Giants game. Two different experiences in terms of crowds, but the beer was great. I love the Kolsch. The bar tenders are very friendly and attentive. This has become my go to place to visit when I come to the city. Thrive City is a great addition to this beautiful city. Support these wonderful businesses around Chase that make this area worth visiting on non event days. I live two hours from the city, but always feel welcome at Harmonic when I visit.“

“I went in the late morning on a Saturday and the cafe was quiet and relaxing. I would love to come back and check out the piano bar in the evening. The barista was nice, seemed to know her regulars and was very helpful. Iced Pumpkin Spice Latte was great, not too sweet.“

“so my wife and I were craving some ramen for lunch in San Francisco. I came upon this random spot on Google, read the reviews & skimmed the menu. looked pretty damn good based on our personal ramen preferences. my wife ordered the black garlic oil ramen. I ordered the spicy tonkatsu ramen. we both are very picky with our ramen - we like our broth rich, salty, creamy & flavorful. and let me tell you, coming from the east coast / NJ / NYC (we have great ramen spots there) - AFTER HOURS RAMEN TOTALLY DELIVERED 200%. I could not stress enough to my wife how satisfied I was with our meal today. oh & they had some nice 2000s hip hop/pop/r&b music playing during our lunch. loved it.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED if you're in the SF area. located couple blocks from ocean beach so you can walk off your food.

AFTER HOURS RAMEN, thank you so much for the delicious food & service! this is our go-to now! see you soon!

PS. it's BYOB. there's a liquor store right on the corner of Taraval & 40th. you're welcome :)“

“Decent beer and welcoming company.“

“My brother loves beer and we get together a couple times a month. We had not been there in years, and this is where I remember them having a great beer selection. They have really done a great job on the remodel and the music is at a level you can talk at! The food was good and the beer was great. I will be back!“

“Came for brunch and was very pleased with the experience here! We got the steak & eggs and the classic brunch plate. Super convenient if you're in the Civic Center area. Ambience of the restaurant was lovely too. I'll definitely be back!“

“We were hungry, it was Memorial Day, we just left Best buy, and we walking down the street, and we noticed this place and it had a big window whiich caught our eye and we looked in and decided to check it out. We had our furbabie with us and he was welcomed too. We ordered something to eat and a drink and water for our furbabie. They had all different games to choose from and a pool table. We ate, we drank, we played Bingo and won a few games, we received, free drink tickets to use that evening, and gifts we picked from. The people that worked there were polite and friendly and the customers were friendly too. There were other furbabies hanging out too. We enjoyed ourselves and we will be back to visit. They have a variety of entertainment for each day of the week.“

“What a great place it exceeded our expectations. The interior is nice with a high ceiling. There’s a good amount of natural light and the lighting inside was a little dim which made a nice atmosphere.

I can imagine it’s also comfortable during night time.

Service was excellent throughout. We were checked on often and the host/server was so kind.

We were very happy with the portion sizes. Don’t be surprised by even the short stack pancakes. They’re pretty filling!

We were also happy with the salmon benedict and omelette. We’ll be happy to come back here and if you’re staying in one of their partner hotels they include a small discount so make sure to ask.“

“Good eats and beer selections.“

“A bar! No food, no frills, just lots of beers, great drinks, and a great patio!“

“Great ramen spot. Beware, the spicy edamame is pretty spicy 🥵. I had the beef rice bowl with the spicy miso ramen. The ramen was not nearly as spicy as the edamame. We arrived 45 minutes before closing time but they still took care of us. The beef was tender and a little sweet. I would definitely recommend. The ambiance was nice and my family also enjoyed it. My wife let me try her chicken karaage, it was delicious.“

“great place for craft beers and good wine, knowledgeable friendly staff“

“My husband and I wanted to try Korean fried chicken. 🍗🐔 The place is very clean and The owner was helpful and kind. 😊👍 He helped us choose a few chicken flavors. 🌶🍯 Absolutely delicious 😋. 💯“

“HIGHLY recommend Tekka House! The quality of the fish they serve is top notch - great flavor, texture and presentation. Also the truffle wagyu nigiri was the best wagyu we’ve ever had! A very delicious meal!!“

“fantastic drinks excellent atmosphere and realy cool people“

“great drinks and yummy popcorn. bartender was great!“

“Nice place to watch sports“

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

“We booked a midnight reservation at Bourbon & Branch and showed up early. You need a password to get in, very speakeasy. Since we were early, they brought us into The Library to wait, which was a nice touch. We ordered a drink there and got seated in the back within 15 minutes.
Heads up: it's all cocktails and no food. Eat before you go, and be prepared to just drink and speakeasy.“
