This was a great place. Great ambiance and beer. Always crowded. I loved how they renovated an old cleaners. It helped revitalize Bush street. All good things go away. I wish owners and workers best of luck.

Grabbing a bite to eat before seeing John Oliver on stage for the first time. By the way, I highly recommend seeing him on stage, he is really funny. (He is not reflected in the rating of this restaurant.) I chose this place because the friend really likes beer, though this would be perfect for him. They have a vast beer menu and this place is very popular by the crowds. Overall the food was good, but most people come here for the atmosphere and the beer!!! I recommend making advance reservations!!!

Hope they reopen again soon! Before the pandemic, I came here frequently with friends after work and had a date here with the bf before he was the bf lol. The bf can be quite a beer snob and loves their unique craft beers, which are available on draft and luckily they had a delicious light lavender seltzer which was a fave of mine and was available also on draft! Couldn't go wrong with their food selection too! Wish I stopped by to try their new items they offered for takeout due to covid, but here's to hoping things go back to somewhat normal soon!

They are open for take-out and the new menu items are delicious!! Try the chicken sandwich and the roasted cauliflower... amazing. Everything is fresh and carefully prepared and the combination of flavors is unique. Don't miss out. They also have a large and diverse beer selection. A true neighborhood gem.

Service was friendly. Craft beer selection was excellent. Charcuterie plate was ok. Bread was super hard and some of the meats were strange tasting. Pickles were very sweet and sour at the same time. Arugula salad was fresh and tasty. Order at the bar

The service is good and the staff are friendly. Many beers to select from and a good variety as well. We ordered some food and all the group really enjoyed what they had ordered.

Amazing place. 30 taps and amazing staff. Great food. I highly recommend if you're looking for a cozy bar and some craft beer.

Great bar, awesome atmosphere. Big selection of local beers. Worth checking out if you are in the area. Bar staff extremely knowledgeable.

Stopped by here for ciders and food. Great atmosphere, big selection of beers on tap, and delicious food. We had the cheese plate which was excellent. It was clearly put you by someone who understands cheese. The crab 'tots' were delicious. We also split a chicken sandwich. The chicken was moist with a crispy outside and the roll it was served on was spot on. We will definitely be back again.

Came here on president's day at around 18:30 and the place was somewhat full - could get a seat out the back but the atmosphere isn't so great.
So if you are into brews like me, this is a decent spot for a laid back beer night . This is a late post , I was here in November and walked in to a 50% occupied spot , got my spot at the bar counter and asked if they did flights , and to my surprise they didn't . I assumed every brewery does a beer flight . However , they staff was very knowledgeable about their beers and explained what I should try . I had a couple pints and a side of deviled eggs! My experience was good though. Solid 4

Really liked the beer here, awesome selection. I had the helles lager, it was great, but I enjoyed that they had a decent number of lagers and pilsners, not just IPA type beers. The burger was just a plain frozen hockey Puck that was cooked somewhat decently, but the fries were really good. Get a burger somewhere else, but come here for the beer!

The food gods have blessed Hopwater with a new menu and it's amazing. Get the Cubans Sliders -- you won't be disappointed.

Long list of beers! Sometimes can get crowded, but love this place for apps and drinks. Has a nice woody atmosphere. It has a top level which I always appreciate in SF. Atmosphere: 5/5 beer: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Overall: 5/5

Hopwater is a must go-to for beer lovers. The staff is super friendly and their rotating beer menu is one of the best. I always find myself finding an awesome new beer there. The food is pretty standard for bar food, but the beer is where it's at!
