Barrel Head Brewhouse has finally fired up the kettles and made their own house beer. A saison, a black kolsch, and a roggenbier are on offer now. Be sure to check them out. Read more

Plan your entrance accordingly. A line forms outside on the hour & at the halves. Order a basket of fries to snack on while waiting for your table; they come piping hot w/ spicy mustard.

Fun spot to grab a tasty cocktail or house made beers. Food is creative and delicious. Great for groups or to catch the game with plenty of TVs.

Surround yourself with tanks and sit around the circular fireplace while enjoying some beer brewed on-site. Read more

Breakfast was awesome! I got the brisket hash skillet and cleaned my plate. I almost wish the portions were bigger! Fun atmosphere.

Just opened but great atmosphere and good selection of beer. Looking forward to when they are offering their home brews.

Burgers are pretty solid and they have good house beers and guest beers. Try the golden noodle ipa

Lots of good brews. Poutine wasn't most authentic I've ever had but I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Ashley RoseFebruary 20, 2017
Good brews, especially nice variety on the darker beers. Pretzel was small but the fries were tasty.

The housemade beers are the best craft beers in SF, making our list of "The Tastes That Make the City: SF Edition." Read more

Very nice beer, whiskey and totally cool service
Ashley MorrisApril 22, 2018
The food was great, especially the wings, but the service was terrible. We had to chase down our server several times to put in food and drink orders. She wasn't even busy.

House brews changes quickly, so be here often! Also they have growlers now!!

Unfortunately all of the house beer in their sampler was pretty awful. Felt bad but our waitress was good enough to swap it out for a guest beer. A bit pricey and noisy but waitstaff is friendly.

Very sports bar, so can get really loud. The black IPA was good, and the chicken dish was worth getting.

Great burger - old fashioned wasn't great - still great service and ambiance
Vanessa KerrMarch 28, 2014
Great selection of food and liquor. They need to figure out a way to dampen the noise.

Mad house! Food was great, service was good too. Just waiting for them to serve their own beer.
Abhishek KonaSeptember 17, 2014
The craft beers are a hike. They have decent food. It's more of a sports bar
Omer ZachAugust 25, 2015
$14 gets you 4 half-pints from the current house beers.
Philiam KennedyMarch 1, 2015
Brusselsprouts are the best I've ever had!
Patrick KMay 16, 2014
Great service! Amazing poutine, an absolute must.
Dapper DinerMarch 26, 2014
Get the poutine to start & the smoked ribs to finish.
Paul SMarch 29, 2014
Decent selection of craft beers on tap. Do not order the Trail Mix! (It's rather small and very salty.) Should have house brews in 3-4 weeks.
JennMarch 25, 2014
Cool atmosphere...the torpedo housing the taps is cool. Don't get the trail mix...not very good and too small portion for $5.
Michael SkeenApril 12, 2014
Avoid the cristo sandwiches. Overall good food, but portions aren't large. They are clearly just getting their footing. Will try again in a couple weeks.

The beirre royal is a refreshing, bubbly delight!
Katie FayramMay 3, 2014
Can't go wrong with the poutine fries!

Their Hawaiian Dropkick IPA is amazing.

Cozy bar that's first come first serve

Hip. Good place for day drinking bottomless mimosas.
nora walkerDecember 16, 2019
If you have an eternity to wait, this is the place for you. Every time I come here it has taken over an hour to get food, even when it isn’t busy.
Steve CortezApril 14, 2014
Perfect fries and an excellent burger!

The burger and Cuban are bomb.com

A solid 3.5/5 brewery.

Pouring fries. The cornbread was a little dry.

Chocolate pudding is worth your money.

The Poutine is unreal

Checkout the torpedo hanging behind the bar
Chuck RoslofOctober 4, 2015
They turn the music up really loud at night for no discernable reason.
