IFCJuly 6, 2010SF: A real biker bar with heart. It’s the last bastion of the pre dot-com rebel/artist. Park benches on a dirt lot; it's like drinking in a junkyard and is one of SF's most loved hangouts. -IFC Staff
hafeez rajiJuly 18, 2011probably my favorite spot to drink although not drinking this YEAR..ughh, the pressures of summer and vacation to pound one...any way, love this spot now it appears you're allowed to blaze a j with no Read more
$4 grilled cheese w/ tomato is a delicious compliment to any pitcher of beer. The cooks are always super friendly as well.
Get a pitcher of something local and don't forget to bring cash. They have a killer beer garden around the back.
Celina CordovaAugust 4, 2013Anthony Bourdain says to give it a try. Yes, bloody marys! I ordered a pitcher of beer for the folks across from me and made my date pay for it. Muhahaha.
Harriet RuffNovember 13, 2015Sit outside in amongst the trees! Really chilled and incredible selection of beer. Even gluten free!
Good bar. Great when the weather is warm with outdoor seating. Cash only $$- Lears FoolSeptember 4, 2015Beer list organized by type. Plenty of draught sours, like any proper SF hipster beer garden.
Travel ChannelDecember 9, 2011A beer garden with bikers, a jukebox with local bands & a back patio full of picnic tables. As recommended by Travel Channel host, Anthony Bourdain.
Alex DobyanApril 16, 2018It's so popular for a reason - unpretentious, no bullshit spot with a reasonably priced, expansive beer list.- Joshua HaftelSeptember 12, 2014Great beer bar with tons of outdoor seating. Fun place to come with a bunch of friends.
Alley HectorMarch 12, 2015Vast selection of delicious beer and the burgers are pretty damn good too. But the huge patio REALLY sells it
Meredith MJune 2, 2016Great beer selection. Indoor and outdoor areas are spacious. Pool table is an added plus!
Kerry SnyderFebruary 22, 2015Sick beer selection, awesome friendly crowd, fast bartenders, the best patio in the Mission
The only thing that is missing from this place are some sort of heat lamps so that folks can enjoy the evenings outside when it gets cold, but other that, it's a dope spot to grab a mason jar or 2
Jonathan WNovember 4, 2015Great Biergarten (beer garden) and maybe the best burger in San Francisco?
Anton ShusterJanuary 17, 2016Can be crowded and smokey here, but when it's not packed is a really great place to have a beer and hang.
Adena BrenowitzJuly 22, 2018Great dive bar with good beer selection. Punk rock music. Outdoor seating.
Pete IppelMay 25, 2012Melt your face off with awesomeness, outdoor beer garden and eats off the grill. Bring your bike: pedal or motor.
- Kim OwensOctober 19, 2012Bloody mary's, hangover breakfast and fresh air on the patio. The best place to be on a Saturday morning when you're in recovery mode from Friday night.
Surly bartenders, scummy clientle, and scary bouncers. Totally worth braving all of that for the epic beer selection, and awesome beer garden in back. Read more
Brandon M.May 19, 2016Grab some brews here and walk down toward the Mission after for the perfect meal!
Tye ChaitOctober 18, 2014Awesome selection of beers on tap! One of the few places that I have found sour beer.
Paul FarrellJuly 9, 2015Great beer garden. Hilariously grumpy staff, but super beer selection. Doing it their way!
Diego RufoMarch 24, 2011Popular amongst local bike riders because you can take your bike right in with you while you drink in the beer garden, good for daytime or nighttime drinks. Read more
Steven WallerMarch 13, 2015From a tourists prospective I found it to be a classic America bar which for me is worth a beer at the very least...
go there on a weekday afternoon, order a pitcher, enjoy the weather, order a burger than get another pitcher...by know you should have made friends with someone else....you're welcome
John DohertyAugust 9, 2014Awesome beer selection, unpretentious crowd, great outdoor area. Bring your trucker hat.
John NevilleAugust 9, 2011Get the Weihenstephan Hefe-Weissbier. It's made by the oldest brewery in the world and it the best tasting beer in the world.
c0uPMay 3, 2014$4 for a grilled cheese sandwich and home fries that can conjure up miracles (or at least cure hangovers).
Carolina BarnesMay 1, 2010bike on down to this bikers bikers kinda bar. Get your beer, park your bike in the back beer garden, smoke, drink and be merry. Be nice to the bartenders!!! you never know if they'll bite
Cash only. Get the free retro boob matches. They are in a clear pitcher atop the ATM.
58 diverse taps and cheap prices. Surprising in the mission.
Andrew HarveyJanuary 29, 2015Get the grilled cheese. Don't ask questions, just fork over the $4 and thank me later.
Derek PJanuary 18, 2017They recently successfully lobbied the city to block desperately needed housing. Disgraceful.
Heather TerrellNovember 18, 2013Nice beer garden for sunny days. A couple of good pinball machines near the grill.
Jojo R.July 11, 2014Yeah, this is probably the best bar you'll ever go to. So, go to it. Used to be bike messenger central, not sure if it still is.
Dimitris TsironisSeptember 29, 2014Great Franziskaner Weiss beer. Burgers used to be better but now they served them with chips.
