26 Best Craft Breweries in San Francisco

“Great beer. Awesome pizza. Better than the best Chicago deep dish pizza I’ve had when I was in the Windy City in 2021. Best part is their service because their value customers who show up in their restaurant rather than door dash customers who bought something online. Me and my special friend were so happy that we got their Oktoberfest special brew. Highly recommended !!!!!“

“Beer: Excellent beers in the “light & easy drinking” category. I had a 5oz of the Italian Pilsner, West coast Pilsner, and Cherry sour. All three were excellent beers. Beers are available in 16oz, 12oz, and 5oz pours.Ambiance: multiple TV’s with the warriors game and other local sports were on. Great side patio for the dogs. Plenty of room for about 12 other patrons to spread out.Service: the Beer-tender Jay was amazing. He explained which beers were available and grabbed water bowls for our dogs. He was a class act and yet another reason why we will be back soon to try all of the beers.“

“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!“

“A pretty great brewery all around from the atmosphere to the beer.

They have a huge section of beer including a bunch of non alcoholic options which is great for so many people. I ended up getting the double hazy and it was a solid one: Fruity, juicy and a little funky which I like.

There is plenty of seating but it fills up fast with how popular it is. Some of the spots are even couches but most are wood tables that extends to their outdoor area as well. There is a bunch of games from shuffleboard to pinball. The outdoor area isn't very big but has food trucks usually which is always a bonus.

Parking can usually be found at the top of the hill where we saw tones of open spots. As far as San fransisco goes that's a rarely. Just make sure you are ready for a workout up you take that way though.

Overall a great spot to hang out and get a beer“

“They have good beer and a good atmosphere.“

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

“This is the best slice of sunshine in FiDi. Local, rotating craft beer with the most consistent and friendly service. Come on a sunny day and soak in the rays. Daniel and their entire staff always make you feel like you're right where you're supposed to be. Thank you all!“

“Great beer and wonderful staff. One of the best games to play is when you're in the bathroom and there happens to be someone in the stall keeping really quiet until you leave. When you've done you're thing and you're on your way out pretend to leave. Open the door and close it again. That person in the stall will think you've left and they'll let it rip. Most people will have been holding it back, probably gripping the sides of the toilet, waiting for you to leave and when its released it'll make a hell of a noise. You can then laugh all the way back to your beer knowing that you caught them at their most vulnerable. Sometimes I just make the fart noise and then leave. It's up to you how you play it.“

“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“

“🧡🧡🧡 Recommend for everyone .“

“Get the wings. Some of the most tender and well prepared wings Ive had in a LONG time.

I'm normally a buffalo guy, but went for the "coconut." It's like a better sweet chili. And the sauce to wing ratio, 💯“

“The schnitzel is super good. The gravy that comes with it is perfect. The sauce in the SF style hot dog is also super good. They get their gravy and sauces right.

There is also a good selection of beer here with nice decor. Great for taking someone on a casual date.“

“I thought it was great. Fantastic outdoor beer garden area, spacious open inside space as well. Plenty of beer options to suit any tastes. I tried several but settled on a Willy Wonka Sour, and a Margarita Lager. Both were quite good. Would definitely go back, and probably try some food next time.“

“My friends and I stumbled on this little gem and loved it. The Local Honey beer was divine - not sweet, but vegetal, earthy - and the mulled wine was the perfect mix of spices for a wintery night. Empanadas were on point for a late night snack. Lastly, the bartender was so nice and very knowledgeable about all the drinks, he even offered us samples of beers he thought we might like. They make beer AND wine which is not something you see often!“

“Decent beer and welcoming company.“

“Swell date spot. Hip decor!
Yeah, yeah. Beer selection, vast. Pizza, plenty tasty. Service, first class. Blah blah blah, etc.
That said, the star of the show is this crazy-eyed gnome that sat opposite of me at the bar. His gaze is mesmerizing.“

“Update (2024):
Still a great selection of beers and very relaxing atmosphere on a Tuesday evening. They've got some very interesting beers on rotation right now. Would definitely recommend trying out the peanut butter and jelly beer!

2019: Great selection of unique beers, very friendly staff, great place to hang out at after work“

“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.“

“This restaurant is located in the Harvey Milk Terminal 1. So, at SFO if you’re about to retrieve your bags from an inbound flight on Delta and you’d like to try Drake’s Flyaway, turn left. You’ll find many nice new venues.
I decided to dine at Drake’s Flyaway and I’m glad I did. For an airport restaurant, it’s simply fantastic. You’ll find it a tad on the pricey side, but you’re not gonna eat here every day. If you choose to eat here I do recommend the potato leek soup as a side dish.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Delicious! Highly recommend pickle pickle mayo dog“

“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!“

“Beautiful view the food is excellent 🥰“
