SFGate Manager: They have an excellent selection of local beers, plus hard-to-find beers from all over the world. Bonus: Sunday barbecues on the bar's glorious patio.
John Bobeldyk: Get a glass or bottle of rare and local beers. I recommend Ballast Point's Victory at Sea double porter beer, brewed with coffee and vanilla.
Tasting Table: Beer Revolution is high on every Bay Area beer lover's list, and for good reason: 50 drafts, hundreds of bottles, and tons of events celebrating local brew stars large and small. Read more.
