25 Best Craft Breweries in San Francisco

“~This is such an amazing little Detroit Red Top style pizza joint w/ unique locally sourced fresh ingredients. The staff are attentive, accommodating & pleasant to interact w/. They really make you feel welcome like you are eating a pie @ a friend's place. There isn't a bad item on the menu. I always look forward to coming back!¡!🤤😋~“

“Cute & hip German-inspired pub for beer and grub. Offers some vegan and gluten-free food options.
Nice ambience, with lots of natural wood. Lots of seating at long picnic tables, which suit the atmosphere perfectly but get uncomfortable after a while. Cool decor.“

“Such a cool spot! The dude bartender with long hair was super friendly and poured a delicious helles lager and i got a pretzel dog, which was a beautiful pairing. A guitarist was doing some slide guitar.

The light lager is what brought me here in the first place. The spot was nice and packed. Def coming back!“

“This is a great place to hang out and have a beer (so many choices!) and they also have food vendors sometimes since they don’t serve food themselves. Just be aware that if the Under Mezzanine area is reserved for an event there’s no access to the arcade games. We had it reserved for an event a couple weeks ago and two kids, about 7 and 10, walked right in and start playing games who mostly ignored us and finally told us “We were told we could be here” after we asked them to leave several times. Thanks to beer, I ended up scolding them to get them to leave and they ran off to tell their parents, to whom I give 0 stars since they came and complained to us even though they’d told their children they could crash our party.“

“Grabbed a beer a few weeks ago as we waited out the rain and waited for dinner. So glad I stopped by! It was a solid location, nice TVs to watch any games, and free WiFi!

I would definitely come back if I'm in the area.“

“Neat indoor beer hall, great barman and loads of fresh beer (as you might expect) Cheers all!“

“I’ve been coming to Southern Pacific Brewing for years, and honestly it is what it is. It’s a huge space, so it’s great if you’ve got a big group or party. I’m not really a beer person myself, but down to hangout here when people pick it and most people seem to enjoy it. It can definitely get loud, so keep that in mind. They do serve food, which is fine - not amazing, not terrible, just okay.

If you’re into large brewery vibes, this could be your spot. Personally, I don’t go out of my way to come here, but I also wouldn’t be upset if a group wanted to meet up here.“

“They have good beer and a good atmosphere.“

“In town for work and was looking for some good beer. What a great find on a day with gorgeous weather! On the roof at Salesforce park, was able to enjoy a flight (5 options) and personal pizza (delicious!) for $45, a steal in San Fran. No heaters so can only be enjoyed in good weather but highly recommend.“

“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“

“It’s a rich history of brew and culture“

“Had a couple of beers here and some food. Ordered at the bar and went outside for food. Food arrived quickly but the fish was not very hot considering it was freshly deep fried. Chips mediocre. Service once food ordered non existent for me. No server checked on food during eating. Wasn’t very busy during visit. Nice outdoor area.“

“Decent beer and welcoming company.“

“Tasty hot empanadas—especially the mushroom one, which hit the spot on a windy SF day. The outdoor seating is dog-friendly and cozy, with heaters and a fire pit for warmth. They also have an interesting beer selection and super friendly staff.“

“Woods Lowside in Lower Haight is a great little bar serving their own brewery and wine creations. They also serve Joyride Pizza, a Detroit style pizza. West out back in a secluded decked area. Service was great, the pizza was fantastic as were the brews.“

“We got a flight of the stout, sour, west coast, and hazy. All of their beers were tasty and with unique flavors. They marked which beers had won awards on the menu as well. This place was better than we expected! Will definitely be back in the future.“

“Geeks Who Drink trivia night every Tuesday is awesome!“

“I had an amazing time visiting Fort Point Beer Company for a BBQ party, where we also got a behind-the-scenes look at their brewery. The location is truly special—tucked away in the Presidio with views of the Golden Gate Bridge, which looked stunning with the fog rolling in, adding to the vibe. It's a bit out of the way but absolutely worth the visit!

As for the beer, it was top-notch. We enjoyed a selection that included their KSA Kölsch, which was light, crisp, and easy to drink, perfect for a sunny BBQ. Another standout was the Villager IPA, a San Francisco-style IPA with a refreshing balance of hops and tropical fruit flavors. For something more unique, the Westfalia, a Nuremberg-inspired red ale, offered a smooth, malty profile that paired well with the BBQ fare.

Overall, Fort Point combines great beer with a stunning location, making it an ideal spot for both locals and visitors looking to experience San Francisco’s craft beer scene.“

“I was at SFO Airport waiting for my flight home and decided to use Drakes Flyaway service for lunch. The service was very quick and professional. In particular, the server named Ghil and Sada was excellent. I highly recommend using their service.“

“Great beer with an amazing turnaround (when you need it). They were slammed and we got beers/dinner and out in just over 30 min. Can’t wait until I can relax there!“

“Delicious! Highly recommend pickle pickle mayo dog“

“First brewery of the day and what an excellent neighborhood brew pub sitting on the corner of Bryant St and Cesar Chavez St. A lot to choose from so we went high ABV with the Hazed & Confused Double Hazy IPA at 9%. We both enjoyed it.“

“Beautiful view the food is excellent 🥰“

“Staff are very friendly, knowledgeable and friendly. I was struggling to find good, gluten free options and taste. The food and service were second to none. Highly recommended!“
