23 Best Craft Breweries in San Francisco

“This is a small spot in an out of the way street, with good beer and an interesting selection of records that the bartender/dj spins. Certainly different, and a plus, the taps are not loaded with IPAs.

Worth a quick imbibe.

Not much atmosphere on a Tuesday evening. I’d find my couch and cat more exciting than the vibe while I was there … nonetheless, I bet this would be fun on a more hopping evening!

It is a great little hole in the wall, but you gotta reserve 5 stars for place with a more complete atmosphere.“

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

“I'm not the biggest fan of beer but this place offers flights! So it's nice to try before you commit to a beer. They also let you sample before you buy which is great. I ended up drinking there wine which was decent! If you walk up the hill there cute shops to eat and such. You can then come back and finish drinking!“

“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-.“

“They have good beer and a good atmosphere.“

“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.“

“Incredibly cool spot to grab a beer. I love that it is positioned in the park. There are lots of seating and people enjoying. It helped that the weather was immaculate. There is no indoor seating it’s all picnic style
I tried the Yosemite Pilsner, which was actually really delicious. Flavorful for a super light beer. Perfect for a spring day.
My brother got the Hef and was equally happy.
Didn’t try the pizza.
The line can get long on weekends but the wait is worth it. If I worked in nearby offices I would probably come here on my lunch.“

“I'm sorry for this my beloved cellarmaker but it's finally time for a review and I must take off a star for just finishing the saltiest slice of pizza I've ever had in my life. Took me an hour to get through it, even though it was good.

I've been patroning this location ever since moving to this fine City and honestly the pizza quality has gone down over time. The chefs have become totally salt-blind. And they make the wildest pizzas I've never conceived of. They need to tone it down a little bit. Make pizzas people enjoy.

The pizza in question tonight had olives, capers, anchovies, and garlic. High sodium was expected, yes, but not like this.

Easily the saltiest olives I've ever had. And the anchovy texture was horrid. Today I learned I do not like my anchovies baked to a dry leather. Fresh-out-the-tin for me only, from now on. I think I've had enough salt for the whole week!!“

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

“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“

“Woods Cole Valley , what a vibe. The patio is a great place to sit and enjoy a beer, and they're dog-friendly. Friendly staff, great atmosphere, good burgers, exactly what a neighborhood bar should be. Highly recommend. Love the cider on tap.“

“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!“

“I came for a sandwich and accidentally walked into the loudest living room in San Francisco. ⚽📣

The World Cup had the whole place buzzing, but the Cali Chicken Club still managed to steal the win. Fresh, loaded with flavor, and stacked so high it deserved its own highlight reel. Great food, electric atmosphere, and a sandwich that’s worth cheering for. 🥪🏆“

“Great local brews in rotation.“

“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.“

“Decent beer and welcoming company.“

“Sought put this bar for the outdoor fireplace space. It gets chilly in the sunset! Beautiful intimate space in the back if you wanted to actually have a conversation without screaming. Outdoor space does close at 10 pm. We came here on a very busy Friday night. Service was fast and friendly. Was able to find street parking immediately.“

“Beautiful view the food is excellent 🥰“

“Southern Pacific Brewing has a neighborhood vibe but still attracts the usual Mission crowd: tech teams running offsites downstairs, board-game groups locking in upstairs, and locals weaving through it all. The space absorbs volume well and stays functional even when it’s busy. Portions are large across the board, which is part of why the place works for groups. The chicken wings are my go-to and the most reliable item they make. Beer lineup is broad enough to keep everyone covered, and staff keeps service moving without slowdown. It’s an easy, repeatable choice in the Mission with a built-in community feel that delivers a great beer garden feel, indoors a warehouse space.“

“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!“

“Pizza was really good with solid flavor and a nice crust. The Beyond Burger (vegetarian) stood out as one of the best I’ve tried in the US—well-cooked and satisfying. The fries were also crispy and fresh, making it a great overall quick meal option at the airport.“
