Very good selection of beer on draft and amazing bottle menu, but be prepared to pay through the nose.

You've got to be kidding me with this beer selection. Perfect for the beer geek in your life.
Matt GalliganFebruary 19, 2011
If you're a beer geek, ask for the cellar list. Genuinely hard to find stuff that you'll be sure to love.

DO NOT GO HERE FOR DINNER unless everyone on your party plans on getting one of their 4 main options for 30 a piece. They kicked us out of our seats because we didn't all want one of the main dishes.

ClandestineDrinkerAugust 14, 2019
Way too pricey,the food isn’t bad+the beer selection is well put together. I have to ask myself,do I want to pay a lot to put up with vapid asshats? No,not when there are more chill places in SF.

You definitely need to try the soft pretzel knots while you're here.

They won't seat you unless you order dinner. So prepare to stand around drinking excellent beer if that's what you're there for.
S CJuly 9, 2011
Ask for a sample of the beer to determine taste preference. Recent chef change so mac & cheese is no longer on the menu.
