Blood orange cider was awesome. Loved the cross cut fries with the cheesey sauce. Duck fat fries were lovely.

Great selection of beer and the fried chicken sandwich hit the spot. Sitting indoors is recommended I’ll leave it at that.

One of my favorite SF bars, quaint and cute with a large beer selection. I've never had the food but it looks fantastic.

Cocktail bar with modern cozy vibe. Classic asian flair bar foods. They have multiple cocktails with vegan egg whites (aquafaba). A lot of the ingredients are locally sourced and made in house. Vegan items include edamame, brussel sprouts (ask for no bacon), vegan pot stickers with bulgogi beef, cajun waffle fries (no cheese), and impossible burger. Happy hour 3-6, including weekends, with great deals.

Ordered the Fermlab Burger and Black Lager. The Black Lager was a good pick for a rougher beer around the edges while not being too dark to drink, a nice amount of malt. The Fermlab Burger patty was a juicy angus chuck patty with a good subdued flavor of kimchi and the cheesy fontina cheese. The portion size was decent and the smoked pork belly added a touch of sweetness to this great burger. Ambiance is very nice with dim brown lighting around the bar and seating areas. There is outdoor seating too, ideal for good weather while the sun is still out.

Came here to hang with my cousins before we rolled out to a show at Bill Graham. The shop is a bit small but stylish. Their beer menu is big and they had elevated burgers and other American food. My cousins liked their burgers.

We ordered up at the register. The cashier was so friendly! We also grabbed bottles of water and cups for everyone next to the register.

My cousin and I each got a beer and shared duck fries. I'm not sure if they gave us the correct beers (both hazy IPA's but I think they might've switched ours). Some of our portion of duck fries were overly greasy and burnt. We ended up eating a few of the group's side of fries from their burgers.

Overall I liked the vibe and it was a nice spot to munch/hang before going out in downtown SF. I especially liked the variety of beers from local breweries.

Friendly atmosphere with rotating taps that let you sample variety of styles and brews. Food menu allows for variety of paring with ciders, beer, kombuchas and other beverages. Come and enjoy if you find a brew you like as they rotate monthly and not all make the return rotation. Will be back to keep sampling variety of
