50 Best Beer Bars in San Francisco

“Incredible place with a HUGE tap list!“

“I went on a Wednesday night and it was still busy! The vibes looked good but I wasn't going to wait for just myself so I ordered Togo. I got the little gem Caesar salad, vodka margherita pizza, and a cannoli! Honestly very pleasantly surprised with the flavors and textures of everything, I would say the only thing that was underwhelming was the cannoli honestly but with some chocolate glaze it's . Most unique pizza I've had a while and it's soo good it lasted for dinner and lunch the next day. Would definitely go again especially since for $50 you can easily eat comfortably for two!“

“Every drink is handled with care.“

“Seriously yum! Came upon this place at random while walking around Fillmore with my boyfriend, and I’m so glad we decided to eat here. Lots of vegetarian options too. Pinsa feels lighter than a full-blown pizza, but still filling and delicious. Highly recommend the Fried Squash Flowers and the Fancy Margherita Pinsa!“

“Intimate and cozy bar with an excellent wine and beer selection. The interior is gorgeous but small, dominated by the bar. The walls look like they’re made of green velvet but it’s actually concrete. The service was friendly, and they made to sure to keep our glasses full. The food is from Ernest, which was a treat. The bread is from Rize Up Bakery and highly recommended with the wine.“

“Excellent service from the workers and owner was so welcoming from the step I entered to the way out. I was delighted with the quality of food and it tasted very nice with the owner even complimenting me with kheer on the house as I was visitor in SF. Overall I would recommend this to all family and friends.“

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

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

“I’m giving Rosamunde’s 5 all around because of their excellent Merguez. So tired of these places that say they have Merguez and then you find out it’s beef or beef/lamb. The sauerkraut is authentic, the beans are very delicious and the staff is, to say the least, very chill. If beer is your thing, you will be happy here. They also have all the cane sugar sodas as well. The only criticism I would have is that, in my opinion, the German potato salad is too vinegary.“

“I liked the chicken quesadilla. The cheese fries were also the best fries I’ve ever had in my life. One of the best halal Mexican spots I’ve been to in the bay.. maybe even the best. I went on a Friday afternoon and the parking situation wasn’t so bad.“

“No pics but it’s a great “dive.” The dishes are very original and flavorful. I had the spicy chicken sandwich and a friend had the fish tacos. Sounds unoriginal, but the flavors are what make it special. We didn’t even order sides and were very satisfied with the portions. They also have a great variety of brews to choose from to go with the meal. I’m definitely going back. The atmosphere is great, even if it gets crowded, it wouldn’t feel like it. There’s good spacing between tables unlike a lot of places in San Francisco. The decor is slightly rustic and good atmospheric Latin music in the background, not too loud at all.“

“The cauliflower hoagie is an amazing vegan option! Just let the server know you want it vegan and they can also remove the honey. It was absolutely delicious and very filling! The salad and squash dish also pictured are gluten free but not vegan and were also outstanding! Service was great! Waster was so attentive and helpful in working with dietary restrictions and made excellent wine recommendations. Great vibe overall inside as well - will be back!“

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

“Came in on a Saturday morning and stayed for a few hours. Really quiet and enjoyed the ambiance, only a few people coming in and out. Coffee and service was wonderful, just a bit pricey.

My two concerns are, first, cleanliness; windowsills are dirty of spider webs and dead bugs. Looks like they've been there for a LONG time. Second, plants haven't been watered in a long time too.

Overall, great experience.“

“This place is sooo BOMB!
I mean wicked good!
Staff are awesome.
The food is awesome.
The vibe is awesome.
Always catering to US.
I’m sooo glad this place is still here.
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO WORKS HERE!“

“Best showcase in San Francisco of Northern California craft beer

The Crafty Fox is a craft beer lover’s dream. Their rotating Northern California tap list spotlights the best breweries in the region, from tiny producers to cult favorites. The food is unexpectedly superb, elevating pub comfort to something craveable and delicious.

Great for: beer flights, casual hangs, excellent bar food.“

“Great bar that has friendly patrons as well as lots of entertainment. You will often find love entertainment on the weekends, and always loads of pinball.

Bar has quite the selection of craft beers, and bar staff are knowledgeable to help find your perfect pint.“

“Stopped by twice in the past week. They have around five beers on tap, mostly craft. The craft beers are high quality like Sculpin IPA, and the Elysian Space Dust IPA. They also have several European and other American beers in bottles or cans. Had the New York steak sandwich once, and bacon burger the next time. Both were tasty. Burger was cooked medium rare, as asked. Strong recommendation if you're in the area and want good pub food with a good beer selection.“

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

“I love the afternoon tea service here! The setting, food and service are all wonderful. Some hotel afternoon tea services in the city are overpriced for the quality but this restaurant offer the perfectly balanced service. I recommend you try the tea called “Nuit à Versailles.” I live 6 blocks away from this restaurant and I will be back soon again.“

“This is the kind of place I want to see in any city I live in. Harmonic is hands-down one of the best locally owned microbreweries. The owners are long-time SF residents and amazing humans who truly care about their beer, customers, and community. The brews are delicious, creative, and always changing—there’s never a boring pour here. They have decent snacks and seem to regularly have unique food pop-ups. It’s an accessible place whether you’re out alone, or with friends and family. SUPPORT LOCAL BUSINESSES!“

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

“Love Foghorn on Balboa! It's my husband and I's favorite spot to go to after work to grab beer and a bite to eat. The craft beer list always has great options and if you're a chicken fan, this place is for you. Their chicken sandwich, wings and tenders are so delicious! They also have Nashville options if you're looking for some heat. The atmosphere is awesome, it's a casual, laid back spot thats good for groups, bringing kids, and/or just grabbing a cold one with a buddy!“

“Delicious pizza, friendly people! 🙂“

“Nice spot with 2 of my favorites items - ramen & boba. The food was pretty good, and you get to choose the type of meat in your ramen. At the end they gave us mango sorbet, what a nice surprise.

Popcorn Chicken ($8) - we had mixed reviews from my party. I liked it and thought the sauce was good.

Black Garlic Oil Ramen ($18) - nicely presented dish but flavor-wise I liked my friend's Spicy Tonkatsu more. The egg and chashu were ok.“

“Good eats and beer selections.“

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

“Amazing 🤩 Great service and tasty food“

“The food and drinks were amazing, the staff even better. They even have playful cocktails like their Italian cream soda cocktail, and their pasta of the day is always a delicious surprise at really reasonable prices. Located just a block from city hall, right off Market Street, this place is a must go in civic center“

“Great Food😋 Sports bar atmosphere“

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

“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!“

“reasonably priced ramen. The food was really good. The tonkatsu broth was excellent and went well with the pork. My daughter had the chicken ramen which was a little overcooked but still tasty. My other daughter had the veggie tofu with mild spice. Mild was still pretty spicy so avoid if your sensitive to spicy food. Overall we were pleased and will return.“

“Korean Soul Chicken was absolutely delicious. We ordered the fried chicken, which was crispy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. I also had the BBQ pork, and it was tender and full of flavor. The potstickers were amazing, crisp, fresh, and not greasy at all.

The service was excellent and very attentive. The food was super affordable and everything tasted fresh and well made. I would definitely recommend“

“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!!“

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

“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“

“fantastic drinks excellent atmosphere and realy cool people“

“Decent beer and welcoming company.“

“Been coming here since 2020, I absolutely love this location. Great food and beer selection. Its also nice to be able to sit outside and still get audio for whatever game is playing. The only thing I miss (and I do miss it dearly) are the roasted half chickens they used to do here.“

“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“

“We came upon the recommendation of a chef from Chicago, and were lucky to squeeze in without a reservation on a busy weekend night. Everything was fresh and delightful! We especially loved the scallop vermicelli, small bites and the abundant garlic pea shoots. Above all, the service was outstanding with a welcoming and attentive host, and a kitchen that was willing to kindly make some adjustments for food sensitivities. A lively and comfortable atmosphere. Will return to taste more!“

“Nice place to watch sports“

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

“Great experience. Super friendly quick service, great screens to watch games. Lively atmosphere. Sometimes super packed, but can often find a seat. Really tasty and generous portioned food. Went on a night with a lot of seemingly finance bros in attendance. Lol.“

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

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

“Hinodeya is situated in a happening area of the Marina and serves excellent quality food. Went with my partner for a date night we got swift service and excellent quality food. The Umami Brussels sprouts were perfectly cooked with bonito flakes dancing as the steam wafted from the plate. My ramen was light and flavourful and, though I’m not the biggest fish fan, the dashi broth was not overwhelming. Hinodeya also has great vegan ramen options, which is uncommon. My partner is vegan and this was a great feature for them. Additionally, the garden patio in the back is a lovely place to sit for a meal. Tables can be close together, but it creates a nice communal energy. And may lead to fun conversation across groups.“
