Great beer selection
Christian BakerFebruary 16, 2015
SF's craft beer scene has caught up enough that there's no need to endure an asshat bartender to get the goods. Toronado SF should take a page from Toronado SD's book. Beers go great w/ smiles, dudes

Never come here and ask for a "girly beer." Just don't do it.

Don't forget to smile at people!
Neal JosephMarch 25, 2013
3 cask engines. 40+ other well-curated beers on tap. If that's not enough to entice you, go somewhere else. #lovethisplace
