Suraj Acharya: The Banh Mih is delicious and flavorful, the pickles are yummy, the burgers and house brewed beers are meh, but they stock lots of other beers too. The space is open and bright.
Tasting Table: Get the inexpensive house brewed beer, which comes in 6 varieties, and augment it by pub fare: Read more.
Callum Stott: The pitchers of the house brews are cheap and all pretty damn good considering.

Kristan Bonde: Love this place. Spend time looking over the beer menu as it will change frequently due to 50 gallon kegs allowing for more local craft beers to be tried. Ask for a taste to be sure its recommendd it
Meredith Kurahara: Awesome, chill spot to get great local beers on tap!
Jenna Schofield: Awesome beer list with a lot of local brews. A couple of tvs but not a sports bar vibe.

Men's Health Mag: The owners here worship beer. They’ll talk your ear off about the 100-plus beers in the back. It would be overwhelming if it wasn’t so damn genuine. Ask for a local brew and win their attention.
Tasting Table: 45-plus beer selection (and low prices) at this Lower Haight institution is unbeatable, from rare Belgians to local brews (Russian River, Almanac, Half Moon Bay). Read more.
Chris Vodola: Amazing place. Just casually serving $6 pints of Pliny. As far as beer bars ago, it's one of the best in the country.
