Drew MilamMarch 7, 2016Can't go wrong with Pliny. Know what you want at the bar and bring cash. Cash only!
The Daily MealJune 20, 2011This bar is known for its well-curated beer selection, but it stands out for its lack of pretension. Brave the divey atmosphere and loud music to enjoy its hard-to-come-by craft beers. Read more
Is a great beer list worth all the assholes who go in there and act like schmucks. It used to be a great place but it has changed over the years.
don't wave your money around to get the bartenders' attention. they see you and will get to you when they're ready. be patient and they'll be nice to you.
Connie ChiuMarch 21, 2016Great beer selection. Order sausages next door and eat it in toronado with sides of beer.
Tim HarrisonAugust 6, 2014Always a great tap and bottle selection. I never leave without having at least something that's new to me.
One time I came here with my iPad (alone) & a drunk dude behind me began touching my screen; the bartender, without a comment, immediately throws the guy out. I've never felt so respected in my life.
Jeremy FroncekJuly 20, 2013Great selection, good vibes, good neighborhood. My favorite bar in San Francisco. Try something you've never heard of!
Bartenders are pretty great overall, despite their grumpy reputation. Absolutely worth getting a beer (or four...)
Jolene OropillaApril 14, 2013Cash only. Bring your taste buds, there's the bottle list on top of the draft board. BYON (bring your own noms) because they don't serve food, but you're welcome to bring in your own.
Go early if you want a seat at the bar. Great selection of beers from all over.
Constantly rotating selection of local and micro brews. Easily one of the top tap lists in the city.
Great selection of beers. They dont sell food, but get mexican nachos, burritos or hotdogs from nearby.
EsquireFebruary 1, 2011Congratulations, you've found one of Esquire's Best Bars in America. Go next door for a sausage and tuck into a pint of Pliny the Elder at the bar. You're welcome.
JonSeptember 24, 2014Take a stroll up Divisadero and grab a stool and a bottle of fantastic beer here. Great crowd during the day--really welcoming place.
Josh WindsorOctober 18, 2012Noisy and packed with people. Worth it if you are looking for a great tap selection - although a little heavy on the IPA's.
Team SlobbrAugust 25, 2015Dogs are allowed inside (and on top of tables)...a very dog friendly, dog-friendly place!
ErikDecember 11, 2014Great selection of beers served by a helpful bunch of guys. Ask them for some recommendations.
Tyler GalpinMay 18, 2018For a place that tries it's hardest to be "chill" and "not pretentious" it was difficult for them to pull that off up on their high horse. Don't you dare order anything other than beer. They scream.
Bachelor10April 27, 2011Try a hand-pumped beer. It may take you a minute to get over the lukewarm, slightly flat texture, but you can forever after be the obnoxious beer expert at the party. Read more
Matt LAugust 21, 2011If you don't want the sausage from next door, there's some great taco joints in the Haight to bring in from and have with your Pliny
Jeff Cutler™August 22, 2013Don't be intimidated by the bouncer or bartender...unless you're a hipster doofus. Both seem to have dealt with LOTS of hipsters and their patience has worn thin.
Sherry LiJune 6, 2015Lots of beer options. Quick service. You can get food from Rosamunde or the pizza place next door.
atomFebruary 2, 2012Ask about the beers on the board, and have the bartender tell you to get a fucking beer guide! Best bar ever!
Kevin RipperMay 20, 2015Long happy hour, great selection, and a great place to eat some sausages from Rosamunde. Beautiful place
Ellen S. P.May 20, 2015Great place for trying lots of beers. Fun tappers from old kegs line the room.
MazdaNovember 22, 2010Arguably one of the best beer selections in the Bay Area. They update their menu daily, so there's always a new beer to try.
Leilani CarraraJuly 11, 2011So many brews, so little time. This place quickly gets full, but sneak over to the side room to see if you can score a couple of seats. Read more
DustinFebruary 8, 2017Huge beer selection. Hipster crowd. Bartenders who don't put up with shit. Worth checking out.
- Drivers, check out the non-alcoholic menu behind the bartender. I recommend the root beer.
Great beer selection, love the Rosamunde connection, needs more non-white peops and females
Tianna JohnsonJuly 27, 2012Great cheap beer! You can take food in from surrounding restaurants AND it is pet friendly!!
Paul SMarch 29, 2014Cash only! Great selection of beers on tap and in the bottle! Don't forget your Toronado's tee for only $15!- Matthew LockJuly 31, 2011The Pliny is amazing, but I recommend Blind Pig IPA. It's possible to drink a few of these and still be able to talk.
Get a sausage from Rosamunde next door and settle in with a giant German beer. Or just get option paralysis from the dozens of beer choices on tap.
Outstanding beer selection. You better know what you want when they ask you or you will get passed up, it's usually busy
Erik CoxNovember 8, 2015They have a huge beer selection. Rosamunde's next door will deliver food here.
Thomas MeyerNovember 22, 2015Some serious beer business. Great combination with sausage place next door
Hans De LeenheerFebruary 24, 2013I am Belgian and this is the ONLY place in SF that could satisfy my needs :-) Tip: Old Embalmer. Read more
Get your beer snob on. Go next door to Rosamunde and bring your sausage back to Toronado.
use the back bathroom. it's kind if hidden and usually cleaner
