BommyFebruary 8, 2016Good craft beer selection! Vegetarian sandwich is tasty - loaded with mushroom, eggplant relish, aioli, and pickled vegetables. Steak fries are perfectly crisp on the outside, soft on the inside.
Patti MarkgrafMay 21, 2016OUTSTANDING! Offers DELICIOUS microbrews & mouthwatering food that is not your typical bar-fare. Make sure you order the Dungeness Crab Tater Tots, Bacon Jam Deviled Eggs, and Angus Sliders--AMAZING!!
Stephen SaribalisNovember 25, 2018Really liked this place. Good vibes, great beer, above average food and plenty of TVs. It is quite overpriced though with 2 beers plus tip amounting to $20...but it’s right on my way home...
So your partner loves beer but you drink Corona. It’s okay. They have wine and bubbles, and a KILLER food menu. A lot of the ingredients are made in house. The chef is super dedicated to this place.
Ranu RajkarnikarMay 23, 2015Awesome beer selection and friendly staff. I love grabbing a cold one at this place for a catch up with friends. TV's ensure you can catch a game here too.
Adam SchofieldJune 20, 2015The acoustics are awful here. Don't plan on having much of a conversation. The beer list is good and frequently changing. The crab tater tots are my favorite, followed closely by the bacon deviled egg
Elle BreezeeAugust 21, 2016Buttermilk fried chicken sandwich and the angus burger were fresh and delicious, steak fries were also tasty. Tap list is varied, #drinklocal
Paul SMarch 29, 2014Great selection of California craft beers on tap! When crowded, the atmosphere is definitely loud due to the brick interior. Could barely hear my convo with my gf directly across from me.
Connie ChiuMarch 22, 2016I've the beer selection and vibe! Try the tater tots and hop water salume and truffle cheese.
Thomas L.June 14, 2019Great selection of west coast brews with multiple styles represented. Order downstairs then take your number to wherever you are going to sit.
Paul RossmanDecember 15, 2014California craft beer selection is awesome, 31 taps. Gets really loud. Kitchen can get slammed. Cobb salad made with micro greens. Acme bread for the sandwiches.
Lara MasonOctober 6, 2014The beer selection is great and the food is delicious. Try the deviled eggs, the steak fries or the crab tater tots. All winners.
Federico NeriMarch 5, 2014Nice one in Downtown! Good selection of craft beers, near to 30 taps. Cool location, classic "old new" american bar. I will back sure!
Lucille FisherSeptember 12, 2014Great place to meet friends in downtown SF. Very good beer selection and the food is excellent. A perfect gastropub.
Emmanuel QuarteyMarch 22, 2015You *must* try the Pomegranate Cider if it's available. Really fun atmosphere and a good place to meet up with people.
Chris MasonOctober 6, 2014Good selection of CA beers at affordable prices. Steak fries are always a plus. Deviled eggs and crab tater tots were tasty.
Great space with a historic sign out front, 30 California beers, and a ton of expertise to go with them. Excellent!
Matt ForderSeptember 19, 2018Awesome range of micro brewery beers - try the Half Moon Bay amber ale! Om nom nom nom!
Simon CheadleNovember 4, 2015Any place that has a large selection of great beers and has the Simpsons on TV is a winner in my book.
💕Linds💕December 31, 2014Amazing food! Phenomenal beer selection. They have their service setup down to a philosophy. Love it!
Joel CAugust 1, 2015Excellent selection of rotating tap beer and small bite menu. Take note they often close at midnight.
Charlotte AnderssonSeptember 4, 2015The sliders are simple, but oh so tasty. Order extras for the sliders to spice them up!- Nate BeattyMarch 11, 2015Get the burger, deliberate over your choice of beer. Awesome spot, busy, great atmosphere
Jason FrySeptember 1, 2015Terrific beer bar, bartenders know their stuff, deviled eggs are insanely good. Wish I were there.
Campbell BirdJune 13, 2016I liked this spot a lot. The staff was nice and the beer selection was great, but the food here was... not so good.
Mitch ColleranDecember 21, 2014Great beer selection, but go for the food. Get the friend pickles and the habanero sausage.
Possibly the best beer selection in the city. All California brews on tap. Good food too!
Tim HarrisonFebruary 15, 2015Great tap list, and the deviled eggs with bacon jam are out of control.
caeli abeytaJune 5, 2014Great beer selection (obvi) and cool space. Recommend the golden beet salad!
Carina AndersenMay 12, 2015Loving the draft selection. Chicken tenders not so great. Goat gouda very great.- Ashley MowreyOctober 21, 2014So crowded, lurk behind people at the bar until you can get space, then sample everything on tap
Great, rotating, California-only beer list. Plenty of options to try.
- Faction IPA -- atmosphere very Torste-esque, a genuine compliment
