As far as I can tell, this is the only place in SF where you can get a proper pint of REAL ale, pumped from the cask and served at cellar temperature. My absolute favorite. Brits rejoice!

Almost certainly named after Magnolia Thunderpussy, a previous establishment named after the owner. She was a SF icon who was a burlesque dancer whose restaurant served "erotic desserts".

Dark beer enthusiasts: If the Conflagration imperial red ale is on cask get a glass!! I'd recommend a growler except, reasonably, they don't do growlers from cask. Petty Oligarch porter is also great.

Magnolia's has delicious meals & appropriate morning samosa's. Drop by during breakfast for some delicious french toast or fried eggs over quinoa and vegetables with freshly squeezed grapefruit juice. Read more

Love Haight Ashbury atmosphere! Cool gastrobar in the heart of the neighborhood, the Kalifornia Kölsch is superb. Tasty bratwurst and chicken wings. Friendly attention as well…

Great neighborhood spot on Haight for meeting up with friends. Beer selection is awesome. Food is quite good - their homemade duck pasta is outtathisworld. Be warned - there is usually a wait to sit.

English breakfast is pretty good, if a tad too salty. Jen really liked the chicken hash, and the French toast looks so amazing I wish I had ordered it...
Todd BidaOctober 15, 2018
Great neighborhood place to eats dinner in Haight...If you're in town on Thursdays, don't miss the fried chicken here... earlier is better as they do run out!

Fish and chips were good but nothing extraordinary. The burgers, on the other hand, looks AMAZING! The beer was awesome. We loved the Weather Report and High Times brews.

Ambience is pretty rustic old style . Decent draft beer list. Loved their IPAs . Get the Bombay nuts and maitake mushroom. The veggie pot pie was pretty good too.

This place is awesome. Great beer, great food, great atmosphere. Highly recommended. Proving Ground IPA is hugely drinkable, too. Easy to get a table when I visited on a Sunday at 8pm.

The steak and eggs are amazing (brunch). **Tables outside are first come first serve - skip the long wait and enjoy the entertaining scenery of the Haight.

This is a very bold statement, but these may be the best fries I’ve ever had! The burger was awesome too!
Chris H.December 24, 2016
This place is known for their burger and it did not disappoint. Fries were great, too.

Love this place. The food is fantastic - in particular, the chicken hash at brunch and the shortrib sandwich...well, anytime. Get their Tillies beer. So fresh and so clean.
Luke AndrewsDecember 27, 2014
One of the only places in SF you'll find a proper cask ale. If you've ever enjoyed beer from a proper pub in Britain, find the cask menu and order a bitter.

Brunch here is great and their beer goes great with everything!
Tanner ChristensenAugust 30, 2015
Grab a beer at the bar or a burger in a booth, either way prepare for good flavor and a lively atmosphere.

Best IPA in town. In expensive craft beer, in/outdoor seating, awesome cheese & meat plates

Great beer brewed on site. For breakfast don't miss the Brown Sugar Peppercorn Bacon. The Devils on Horseback are a great appetizer for dinner.
Jonathan RobinsonDecember 28, 2012
They have a large selection of their beers from the cask, meaning they are less carbonated, served at a warmer temp than from draught (55 vs 47 degrees). Trad English style
Fikri FıratMay 28, 2017
Craft English-inspired beer. If you are visiting Height for shopping, definitely take a stop there and relax with great beer
Alejandro VizioMay 5, 2014
The best two beers I have ever tasted! Kalifornia Kolsch & New Speedway Bitter, really really good. The food is also DA BOMB!

Exceptional English style beers! Order a flight if you want to try something new.

The menu changes often but know this: if there is anything with duck on the menu (pâté, confit, etc.) just get it. I love this spot.
Julie GodonOctober 11, 2012
Comfy leather seats & great beer selection. I tried the home made lamb sausages and pomegranate cider. Awesome!
Mário LemesMay 19, 2015
One of the best burgers in town. The beers are great as well, and i definetly wanna be friend with the staff.
Robin JohannsenMarch 16, 2015
Pricey but I love it here. Great beers, delicious food and if I remember correctly, they have cheap pints on Tuesdays
Martin AssmannOctober 13, 2014
I love this place. The offer of beers is unique in town. The Magnolia Burger is fantastic. Worth a visit!
VictoriaSeptember 15, 2014
Get the bacon wrapped cheese date and the burger. Also get bo as your bartender :)
Tomás VidalAugust 5, 2014
Great beer! Try the Pearly Baker's Best Bitter or the Kalifornia Kolsch if you are looking for a great soft beer.
Nora AbousteitJune 29, 2012
Eat here. Get the burger as rare as you can handle it. Get a sausage, lamb is awesome. And the watermelon salad was also delicious. Awesome place.
Shuzhen LinOctober 4, 2012
The spicy wings are really good. Pair them with a beer to make for a real satisfying meal

Must have "Spring Ravioli" which has snap peas, fromage blanc, pioppini mushrooms, watercress-pumpkin seed pesto & squash blossom. I can't believe I haven't had it before. My favorite dish now.
Kathy McKinnonDecember 11, 2015
The wine was great! The fish and chips we good, but the tartar sauce was strange, like a Caesar dressing without the Parmesan, garlic or black pepper?!?!?!?
Sam FederAugust 18, 2013
Everything here was delicious. The steak and eggs was cooked to perfect and the French Press was creamy and smooth.

Fish and chips are the real deal. Wash it down with a root beer float and some awesome craft beer

Scotch quail eggs are delicious! Literally just two eggs though, not a lot of food.
Lindsay KrellJune 30, 2013
You can always order half pints if you want to drink a few different beers, but want to be able to walk in a straight line once you leave.
Dimitri ZgonisJune 3, 2014
This place is the tits. Beer is good and waitresses are kind and pretty. They play same songs on repeat, but they are good songs.
PhilipDecember 29, 2017
Demons on horseback are amazing, as are the Rosebud ale and the cherry cider.
Jackie WoodsFebruary 11, 2010
Enjoyed some of their strong beer selections on Tuesday for SF Beer Week. Deliah Rye Jones was super tasty. The fried smelt weren't too bad either! Get yourself there this week or month at the very le

my favorite brewery in SF. It's not all about the over hoppy beers. the music is great and it is in the heart of the Haight district.
Gizem VuralJuly 25, 2015
Beers are great. Really! Come and grab a beer. But food. No. Don't eat. Just drink beer.:-)
Blake SuharJuly 20, 2018
Can't decide what to order? Me either. Get a beer flight to try 6 of their brews!
Tommy SobolMay 20, 2014
Read the reviews of poor service, etc., I think they've worked out the kinks. Great service and the burgers were A M A Z I N G!
