17 Best Gastropubs in San Francisco

“The best Bang Bang Wings and the food it out of this world! 👌🏼“

“What a fantastic spot in the financial district! We were staying in town for a wedding, and this was such a great spot close to our hotel. Patrick (the owner) and his team were all a 10/10! Can’t wait to return.“

“So… this is sort of an SF institution for beer in SF, having had craft beers now for a tad longer than some of the more trendy, upscale bars and pubs that seem to come and go now all too frequently. Basically, if you call yourself knowledgeable about SF bars and haven't hung out here a few times you ain't nuthin. Having been around a lot longer than a lot of now hipper places, The Sycamore promises a concentrated evening of beer or boozing in the evenings, while the back (and now Covid street!) patios can be packed, particularly when the sun is out and/or the nights are warm. The ambience and vibe is that of a local place to come drink, the bartenders and owners generally know their stuff, keeping an eye on the neighborhood and the guests in the manner which they deserve. In general, the Sycamore can be an excellent refuge from the cold, a place to cogitate the meaning of it all alone , or to go with a small to large group of friends who want a tight grungy night out. Coat-tails and gowns are a rarity here, so much so that I have vowed that are some point in my life that I'm going to get dressed to the nines and hang out there for several hours… just to see if I get a stern eye from the bar! 🤨🫠🤨😇🤨🤭“

“Would highly recommend this fairly new establishment. The service is great, drinks were really good with a good selection. Fish and chips were among the best you can get in NorCal, proper chips! The tikka masala pie was fantastic, and the first time I had lions mane mushroom. I will definitely be back.“

“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.“

“There are too many types of cider you can try.“

“Every time we come to San Francisco they are the first place we have dinner. The funny thing is that the same two seats at the bar are open that we sat the first time lol. Great food! Great staff! Professional and just great guys behind that bar.“

“We loved our experience at Kothai Republic! The staff were lovely and gave great menu suggestions. All the food we tried was incredibly delicious. Seriously, every single one. Will definitely be recommending here to others and cannot wait to come back!“

“I'm so happy we chanced upon this place. The servers are warm, friendly and the service is nothing short of fantastic. Loved the Diavlo pizza, bone marrow and pannacota. Definitely a great place to visit with family or to celebrate a birthday.“

“Hugo, the owner, is by far the most amazing host. The food, atmosphere, and staff are beyond A1. Highly recommend to any family, romance, or friend gathering.

Try anything on the menu ( it will not miss) especially the french dip.“

“We saw this place on Bay Area Check Please and we're super excited to try it! We live in Monterey but we're in the city for the day and lucky for us, it was right by our hotel! Jose was our server, and he was great! The food, just amazing. I had the Smash burger and my hubby had the Chicken Schnitzel sandwich. We were blown away. Absolutely delicious, great views, great beer selection and overall an amazing experience. Can't wait to go back! Run, don't walk to this place!“

“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!“

“What a lovely find. Staff was amazing friendly and knowledgeable. Service was fast and food was outstanding!!! Highly recommend hitting this spot!“

“It has a very interesting menu, I really enjoy the food.“

“We didn't see a show so the crowd was gone by the time we ate so it was not too noisy to carry on a conversation. The food was delicious and I highly recommend the brussel sprouts and chicken salad. The salad was full of fresh chicken!“

“Came from Los Angeles to stay at the Marriott Marquis and our server at The View - the terrific lounge on the 39th floor - said the burger here was worthwhile. She was ? right. The burger itself was flavorful and the crunchy, but soft bun and the jalapeño aioli were just right. The picture here is of the Bavarian soft pretzel that we had as an appetizer - it came out hot and the beer cheese was crazy good. The restaurant’s interior is very basic/seat yourself and the noise level is HIGH. Prices are typical for a hotel, but I’d go back for this meal again if I return to the Marriott.“
