17 Best Gastropubs in San Francisco

“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.“

“Delicious British food! Lovely atmosphere. Scotch Eggs and the Welsh Rarebit were both a revelation! Fish and Chips were perfection. Highly recommend the Beef and Guiness Pie. The special was Beef Wellington, so we had to try that too. The beef was so tender. It's hard to get a ressie, but it's well worth the wait.“

“One of the best beer selection focused joints in the mission if not San Francisco. They almost always carry heady topper. They have excellent sour beer flights. These guys know what they’re doing. Additionally, I have had their hanger steak four times. Each time I was left aghast at how consistently amazing it was.“

“This past Saturday I decided to check out this place with my friends after the game. They have a variety of drink selections and a decent food menu options, including some vegetarian-friendly dishes. Service was 10/10! The girl who was helping us was friendly and patient with my friend, when she was struggling because of her English. All of us had a great time here. Glad we decided to give this place a try and will return!

Inner Richmond is not the most difficult neighborhood to find parking for in the city, but it can still be a hit or miss. Recommend people to just Lyft/Uber/Waymo.“

“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! 🤨🫠🤨😇🤨🤭“

“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.“

“I eat here often because I work nearby, two of my favorite dishes are the smashburger and fish and chips, but everything is good here. Jesus and the rest of the staff are all very polite and kind. Friday Saturday sunday can be busy and holidays. But it's a fun open bright place right on the water on the marina district of San Francisco.“

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

“Great local brews in rotation.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Excellent, spacious location in the San Francisco Fi-Di, with professional and friendly staff! Make sure to order the salt and vinegar chips!“

“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!“

“Love the location and atmosphere! Friendly staff and great bartender ♥️“

“This was my corner store (albeit in the middle of the block) when I lived on Post/Leavenworth. Really friendly guys, who run a well stocked and clean store. There's a decent selection of beer in the back, some produce, and a full deli, too. They have long hours, and stay open to about 1am most nights. If you need something in a pinch, they probably have it.“

“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!“
