Laughing Monk Brewing

I had a mixed experience at this brewery. They close at 8 PM on Sundays, and we arrived around 7 PM. We saw the staff smoking outside the store, and when we went inside, there was no one at the counter. We had to wait a bit for the staff to return from smoking to take our order.

As for the beer, it was decent. We sampled the Fereneries Altbier, Holy Ghost German-style Pilsner, Brother Vincent, and Beetilejicy Hazy IPA. Each had its unique flavor, but none particularly stood out.

Overall, the experience was okay, but the service could definitely be improved.

Don't buy food for their Oktoberfest event. It's a $20-$30 plate of unheated premade Safeway food.

Great beer selection, lovely and helpful bartender and Athletic NA beers available if that is it what you are looking for! We came on a Friday afternoon and it was really chill with good music playing.
Definitely will be coming back for happy hour Tuesday through Thursday where beers are $6 - or just in general.

Really great brewery location with amazing beer and a quiet scene if you’re looking to get away from the crowds for a bit, play a board game, and drink some good beer.

Located in a quiet area of San Francisco, you’ll find plenty of parking. The space is very open with some seats that are near the outside of the establishment. They have board games, a bar, beer to take home, and a bathroom.

What we really enjoyed about this place was how open it was. We went Saturday at 1pm and we were the only people there. The service was super friendly and we just played scrabble for 2 hours and had a blast. It was a really good time

The appetizer was good, however, my entrée was not. The menu said Turkey bacon sandwich and when I received it the sandwich was not turkey bacon it was sliced turkey with pork bacon on a sandwich. I am allergic to pork so I was unable to eat the sandwich! The waitress never offered me an alternative meal. All she said was I passed your concern to my manager and he said tell the customer thanks for informing us of that. We will change the menu to be more clear. That was it!!

Excellent beer. There's a good variety of styles and, of course, IPAs. The staff and regulars are super welcoming as I basically made friends with everyone in there during my brief visit. A must for Brewpub afficionados! Chris the bartender rocked. I wish I lived closer, but I'll definitely hit it on SFO trips!!!

The West Coast IPA’s and the Pilsner were great. The space is big, comfortable, and dog friendly. My wife, dog, and I will be back.

Great brewery and space but it got to be located in one of the most sketch places

Super solid local brewery

Food was good, service and environment...not so much.

Great atmosphere, great beer and good food. Our bartender (Juan) and the others we interacted with were super nice and helpful.

Amazing beer and lovely people. Usually a pop up there too if you’re hungry

Great place with good beer and fine food with great servers and bartenders shout out to Walter, Lindsey, Everett, Juanito

Good beer

Dang, the beer is good! Have to admit, I was treating beer as a ‘filler’ drink when out with friends, LMB showed me how good it can be by itself. Will continue to enjoy and evangelize them going forward!!!
