Suggestions for Brewery near Downtown San Francisco-Union Square, San Francisco

SFist • April 23, 2015It's more bar than restaurant, made all the better with excellent fried chicken and other delights. Plus, an onsite microbrewery from Golden Gate Brewing Company. Added bonus: fireplace up front.

Whitni W. • September 15, 2017Super hip brewery. Loved the interior artistic flair. Beer is GREAT!

Jessie S. • August 27, 2017Awesome staff, knowledgeable and they gave me a few tastings so I could decide on a wine I wanted! Perfect place to bring a friend and chat over a glass of wine

Eunju T. • December 28, 2018Love spicy chicken wings! Beer list is also nice. Friendly staff and nice food.

Will B. • July 10, 2023Try the Hayter's pale ale

Staff Picks • March 23, 2017Fermentation Lab lives up to its name by offering a plethora of brewed and pickled delights, with farmhouse veggies fermented on-site. Oh, and the ambiance makes for a great social laboratory, too.

Scott D. • August 10, 2015Pickles are super sour, super sweet, super spicy and super awesome!

Blake S. • January 18, 2016Great revitalized German beer haus. The sausage plate and mustards didn't disappoint! Highly recommend splitting it with a few friends.

Parker D. • March 6, 2019Owner Valon Grajqevci hails from Kosovo, bringing coffee, a farm-to-table menu, house brewed beer, craft cocktails and wine.

David P. • July 10, 2019Order the grilled cheese sandwich ... but with pulled pork and jalapeño... soooo good

Rick T. • July 19, 2014No public tasting yet, but the Tosca beer is my favorite.

Laura M. • November 9, 2013AWESOME beers on tap. Tons of local breweries and microbrews. My favorite place in the city to grab a beer after work

Parker D. • March 30, 2017One of the best sour beer selections in SF. Do the sour flight.

Damian B. • August 11, 2017Views of the ocean are very nice but be warned about sitting next to the window, sun will roast you. Good sandwiches though at a $ premium for the views. Brewery on site.

Matt H. • December 5, 2011Always open...even on barren SoMa Sundays. Nicest guys behind the counter, too
