36 Best Craft Breweries near South San Francisco

“We stopped here while waiting to catch our flight because we had a while. It was super chill and a fun place. They had old pinball machines that we played and the ambiance was very cool and relaxed. Food was so yummy. Got the flatbread pizza and some fries to share. Very satisfied.“

“Such a cool spot! The dude bartender with long hair was super friendly and poured a delicious helles lager and i got a pretzel dog, which was a beautiful pairing. A guitarist was doing some slide guitar.

The light lager is what brought me here in the first place. The spot was nice and packed. Def coming back!“

“Such a rad spot, fun vibe, engaging staff, and an insane variety of yummy beer. Definitely a must.“

“This is a great place to hang out and have a beer (so many choices!) and they also have food vendors sometimes since they don’t serve food themselves. Just be aware that if the Under Mezzanine area is reserved for an event there’s no access to the arcade games. We had it reserved for an event a couple weeks ago and two kids, about 7 and 10, walked right in and start playing games who mostly ignored us and finally told us “We were told we could be here” after we asked them to leave several times. Thanks to beer, I ended up scolding them to get them to leave and they ran off to tell their parents, to whom I give 0 stars since they came and complained to us even though they’d told their children they could crash our party.“

“Neat indoor beer hall, great barman and loads of fresh beer (as you might expect) Cheers all!“

“Grabbed a beer a few weeks ago as we waited out the rain and waited for dinner. So glad I stopped by! It was a solid location, nice TVs to watch any games, and free WiFi!

I would definitely come back if I'm in the area.“

“We love woods so much, its been our neighborhood go to for years, and just last week we hosted our wedding reception there! The staff was fantastic and worked through our booking discrepancies with us. The space was gorgeous, food and drinks were perfectly coordinated, and our guests and us loved celebrating there!! Thank you for everything! (Photos by Zoe Larkin)“

“We stopped in for a beer on our honeymoon and loved the upstairs area to play some fun games and sand shuffle board! The beers were delicious and they had great service. It was a warm day and the airflow wasn’t great upstairs or down so that’s the only negative but we’ll definitely be back for more beers!“

“We got a flight of the stout, sour, west coast, and hazy. All of their beers were tasty and with unique flavors. They marked which beers had won awards on the menu as well. This place was better than we expected! Will definitely be back in the future.“

“Over in San Francisco from Perth Australia and popped in for a couple of beers, awesome spot and great beers, staff were super friendly and even grabbed some merch, get yourselves over and support these guys and have a cracking pint or four“

“They have good beer and a good atmosphere.“

“Awesome brewery with absolutely delightful brews. Great live music events and super tasty food trucks and vendors. I love this place!“

“Great beer selection, friendly staff and sunny warm patio to enjoy it all.“

“Nice beer choices even though our selection, things we hadn't tried before, didn't wow us for hazy IPA's. The venue however is awesome and difficult to rate.

There's the very nice beer garden, a variety of food venues, eclectic beer selection and other drinks such as the slushee and rose...

Service quality varied depending on the stand, but was friendly at the brewery. We liked the eclectic ambiance of the place, very fun.

The place is hopping so parking can be tough despite street and dirt lots around.“

“I kept wondering if Mrs Craig Vanessa was really an expert trader like they say, that she is not a scammer like the others, then I contacted her and I was shocked and amazed that with just $1,500 I invested, Mrs. Craig Vanessa helped me managed my account and after 7 Days of trading, I made my first withdrawal of $16,700. I'm here to testify the good work of her after she made a good profit for me in my investment. She's reachable via WhatsApp with the number on her Facebook: Mrs Craig Vanessa“

“Geeks Who Drink trivia night every Tuesday is awesome!“

“Great spot for beer, wine and burgers/dogs. Beers range from $7-$10. Wine ranges from $14-$17. Everything is fairly priced and very good. Best parts are the friendly staff and the garden seating out back.

Highly recommend checking out weekday specials. Had a great Pilsner for $5 on a Monday“

“Faction Brewing is a wonderful, local brewery! On a perfect day, enjoy a beer or cider on their patio overlooking the San Francisco Bay and city skyline. Catch it on a gloomier day and you can still enjoy a crafted beverage in their large indoor spaces. We host our annual donation drive here in the spring and the staff is always so fantastic. Highly recommend Faction Brewing!“

“Fantastic beverages and food. Easy in and out. Great service!“

“~This is such an amazing little Detroit Red Top style pizza joint w/ unique locally sourced fresh ingredients. The staff are attentive, accommodating & pleasant to interact w/. They really make you feel welcome like you are eating a pie @ a friend's place. There isn't a bad item on the menu. I always look forward to coming back!¡!🤤😋~“

“In town for work and was looking for some good beer. What a great find on a day with gorgeous weather! On the roof at Salesforce park, was able to enjoy a flight (5 options) and personal pizza (delicious!) for $45, a steal in San Fran. No heaters so can only be enjoyed in good weather but highly recommend.“

“Great beer with an amazing turnaround (when you need it). They were slammed and we got beers/dinner and out in just over 30 min. Can’t wait until I can relax there!“

“Love this place. Great beer selection, basic menu that punches above its weight and a super friendly and helpful staff made this an easy review. Match all that with a fantastic indoor and outdoor atmosphere and you get one of the best breweries in the area. We will definitely be back!“

“Cute & hip German-inspired pub for beer and grub. Offers some vegan and gluten-free food options.
Nice ambience, with lots of natural wood. Lots of seating at long picnic tables, which suit the atmosphere perfectly but get uncomfortable after a while. Cool decor.“

“This is the perfect place to get a great bite of food and a tasty beer. Relaxed environment with a friendly Seahorse / ocean vibe. Owner is welcoming and makes some incredible food. They have tv, music, fireplace and games. Check it out when you’re in the area! 10/10.“

“Decent beer and welcoming company.“

“Great atmosphere and brews.“

“Delicious! Highly recommend pickle pickle mayo dog“

“First brewery of the day and what an excellent neighborhood brew pub sitting on the corner of Bryant St and Cesar Chavez St. A lot to choose from so we went high ABV with the Hazed & Confused Double Hazy IPA at 9%. We both enjoyed it.“

“Tasty hot empanadas—especially the mushroom one, which hit the spot on a windy SF day. The outdoor seating is dog-friendly and cozy, with heaters and a fire pit for warmth. They also have an interesting beer selection and super friendly staff.“

“Went Friday at 630pm with reservations. We had to wait 15 minutes. We were finally seated and enjoyed a birthday dinner of Prime Rib.
Our server, Savanah was trying to be attentive but she was slammed with some contrary diners who needed a lot of help. She did her best and apologized for her delayed response. We didn't really notice, she was doing great!
The Prime Rib dinners arrived as requested with the meat properly served as requested. The medium was just past pink. The medium rare was pink. Perfection.
I'd go after 7pm when the lines were gone and tables were available. The service was very good for such a large restaurant/ bar.
The food is good comfort food with plenty of variety for every taste.“

“I’ve been coming to Southern Pacific Brewing for years, and honestly it is what it is. It’s a huge space, so it’s great if you’ve got a big group or party. I’m not really a beer person myself, but down to hangout here when people pick it and most people seem to enjoy it. It can definitely get loud, so keep that in mind. They do serve food, which is fine - not amazing, not terrible, just okay.

If you’re into large brewery vibes, this could be your spot. Personally, I don’t go out of my way to come here, but I also wouldn’t be upset if a group wanted to meet up here.“

“Beautiful view the food is excellent 🥰“

“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!“

“Love this place. My first time and I was not to familiar with the menu. Maria was so welcoming and very friendly answer all my questions before my order. I order the Hamsy, with grill onions with a nice sourdough bread and potato chips made fresh. I'll go back again. Maria it is the manager, OMG you talk about proffesional, so frienly and great knowledge of the menu.
They are great!
It is a big portion. I'm a flight attendant and ate one half ,and the other half after landing and the sandwich wash perfect.
Thank you Maria“
