A fenced-in outdoor bar in the middle of Hayes Valley, Biergarten is a fave with beer & brat loving locals. They have pork pretzels to go with your big-ass mug of beer. Read more

Everything on the food menu is wonderful-pretzels, gnome burgers, pickled eggs, curry potatoes. Also get the liters of beer because you won't have to stand in line as often

THE place to gather outside in Hayes Valley and soak up the classic biergarten/beer garden experience. The food is delicious and the setting encourages you to talk to everyone at the communal tables. Read more

Wednesday is the one day a week they serve burgers. The toppings change weekly (this one has crispy shallots, sweet peppers, and smoked blue cheese), but it is always made with Prather Ranch beef. Read more

A fenced-in outdoor bar in the middle of Hayes Valley, Biergarten is a fave with Euro expats (my German father-in-law loves this place) and beer-and-brat loving locals alike. Read more

Biergarten is a blast. Chill out with friends on a sunny day. Unique food and drink here. Get the big beer mug!

The best of German Beer and Burgers; this daily beer garden is a nice change from the bar style, providing a great outdoor setting for friends along with fantastic german beer and juicy burgers. Read more

One of my absolute faves. It can get cold in the evenings, but they have heavy-duty blankets for the real troopers--all you have to do is ask.

This spot is a simple combo of good beer in big mugs, good sausage, and blankets you can borrow when the sun disappears, which it usually does. Don't miss their star quality burgers on Wednesday's. Read more

Go for it, get a full liter of beer, you deserve it.

This German-inspired beer garden serves up, as one would guess, a selection of German beers and hearty German eats, like bratwursts, pretzels and cabbage salads. Read more

Outdoor seating & high quality German beer and pretzels from the owner of Suppenküche. German beer so fresh you can actually smell the noble hops.

Love how casual this place is. It's great to just grab a beer and hang out with friends or maybe make some new ones at the communal tables
Graham SiegelApril 11, 2016
Great beer, great food. The brat and potato salad are on point. Was busy, but not overcrowded on a sunny Sunday.
Brian BSeptember 1, 2017
Cool spot for a quick (and good) beer. Great outside vibes in a prime location. Lots of reasonably priced German bites to keep you fueled, too.

One of my favorite places in San Francisco. Outdoor seating, liters of beer, great bar food. Couldn't be happier.
Russell Allen EsmusAugust 1, 2014
This is definitely a place to be "seen." If there is a line it could be an hour wait or more. If I see a line, I just get a beer from Grove St. Market and sit out at Alamo Square park.

I was here yesterday! Delicious bratdog, frankfurter, beet salad, and banana knot. It got a little chilly, but they have stacks of wooly blankets. So much fun.
Jenny JAugust 4, 2017
Great place, but VERY long lines! Either you get a big beer and accept that it's warm by the time you're half-way, or get a small and stand in line for way too long.
ToryBurchJune 25, 2013
Located in the trendy Hayes Valley neighborhood, this raucous outdoor spot serves up enormous pretzels, bratwurst and other traditional German foods that can't be beat.

Great beer and food (love pretzel with horseradish, egg sandwich, pickles veggies, and daily burger). Get there early for a table and before the sun sets.
StephanySeptember 9, 2018
They provide blankets when it gets chilly. Even if there is a line, it’ll move fast.
Sarah TrottJune 9, 2017
Order a large stein of beer, sit outside and enjoy a pretzel and a pickle
Eugenia KuydaFebruary 6, 2015
A perfect beer garden with great beer and surprisingly good food. We enjoyed Weihenstephaner Original Lager, it's really good here... Read more

Chill spot to grab a beer and soak up the cool SF weather. Great beer selection with some good food places in the surrounding area.
Johanna EvansOctober 22, 2011
Get all the beer you think you party may have. Once you go through the line and sit down, they make you go outside and start over if you want anything else.
LukaFebruary 6, 2015
A perfect beer garden with great beer and surprisingly good food. Order Weihenstephaner Original Lager, one of the best option here Read more

Love the burgers as well as the ginormous beers. This is one of the best places to play hooky on a sunny day.
Nipun SachdevNovember 29, 2014
Excellent beer, great atmosphere, try the hot muddled wine, pork belly sliders
Zack SheppardJune 13, 2015
Pretzel everything!!! Get the bratwurst in a pretzel bun and the standalone pretzel and you'll be pretzeled-out.
ThrillistOctober 20, 2011
An authentic outdoor German beer garden, serving 6 Germanic beers on tap by the liter and half-liter. Food'll include two bigger-than-at-Suppenkuche pretzel offerings. Read more
Joey CombsJanuary 20, 2016
Not the most authentic German place in the Bay Area, but their currywurst was on point. Get the pretzel too!
JackSeptember 13, 2014
Really good beer, really good food. Really cold but so is the rest of San Francisco. And they do have blankets.

This is the most authentically Bavarian biergarten I've ever been to in the United States. The worst part about it are the lines (which are not authentic). Everything else is great.
Ashley RoseMarch 12, 2017
Long line to get in but once your through the gates enjoy a stein in the sun and a pretzel!
Lears FoolSeptember 21, 2015
Legit German options, and served in appropriate vessels. (The liter is just double the cost of a liter, so get 2 half liters to try something different.)
Craig VillamorAugust 1, 2022
If you like German beers and the weather is good, this is a nice place to hang outside.
Review BotMarch 13, 2020
The feeling is somewhat like a German Biergarten, but the devil is in the detail and those are missing. The food is alright, but not everything is really common in Germany. Drinks could have a larger

Amazing atmosphere - but get there early Bc food tends to run out- when chilly- they provide blankets
BommyJune 26, 2015
Guaranteed to be packed on a sunny day but line moves fast. Food sells out so get here early!
Tye ChaitSeptember 7, 2014
Great place to sit in the sun with a beer! Try the pretzels and pork belly sliders
Pavan KulkarniJuly 31, 2016
Best place to hangout with friends , Beers are good and get the deviled eggs and pretzel.
Kenneth SSeptember 5, 2013
There are not enough places like this in the city where you can enjoy a beer outside on a nice day.
