Chris GoldenJanuary 19, 2015Looking for a quieter but just as fun place to watch football? Back room of Toronado
Great beer selection, love the Rosamunde connection, needs more non-white peops and females
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.
Erik CoxNovember 8, 2015They have a huge beer selection. Rosamunde's next door will deliver food here.
never👏🏻wave 👏🏻your👏🏻money. unless you want to get yelled at or ignored all night. tip strong. respect the legacy. come at happy hour for a $1 off all drafts.
- Drivers, check out the non-alcoholic menu behind the bartender. I recommend the root beer.
Outstanding beer selection. You better know what you want when they ask you or you will get passed up, it's usually busy
Don't offer to flip a coin for the seat that belongs to Mike the doorman. You could get yourself kicked the fuck out of there. That seat is his, and not to be disputed. He (sic)Has a Short Fuse.
Estefania HMarch 8, 2015Although they have a selection of some artisanal beers, the offer is not outstanding. The place has a bad smell.
Thomas MeyerNovember 22, 2015Some serious beer business. Great combination with sausage place next door
Petko MinkovAugust 13, 2012They were playing Pantera when I entered. Bonus points for the good beer selection as well.- use the back bathroom. it's kind if hidden and usually cleaner
Get your beer snob on. Go next door to Rosamunde and bring your sausage back to Toronado.
The Daily MealMarch 17, 2011Dozens of tap handles lining the walls and more than 40 craft beers, most sold for barely more than the price of a Bud. -- Joshua M. Bernstein, The Daily Meal Read more
Greg WohlenbergOctober 13, 2010Tremendous beer selection and casual atmosphere in the Haight. You can buy sausages/hot dogs next door and bring them in for free!
Miki ReynoldsMay 15, 2011Van Steenberg Bornem Triple. You are welcome. Oh, and grab a beer sausage next-door then come grab a beer.
Mark GeyerAugust 7, 2014Lots of beer handles on he wall. The bartender on this night was a douche!!!
If its busy you get one question about one beer. Not two. If you don't like the answer have a set backup or you're waiting a few minutes.
- Chuck RoslofAugust 23, 2015Don't rely on the draft list on their website—it's almost certainly out-of-date.
Paul PoppletonApril 21, 2010They have one of my favorite beers here. It is usually on tap. Schneider Aventinus. Delicious and rare to find in America!
Ayn Rand was inspired to write "The Fountainhead" after drinking a Pliny the Younger in a table in the backroom.
KariDecember 27, 2011Father of SF's dive bars. Bad music, too loud. Good selection of beers from the US and Europe. Try sausages from the next door.
Adam BrodyOctober 19, 2010Great beer selection. Get a sausage next door at Rosamunde, and take it in to Toronado and enjoy a Pliny the Elder.
If you don't like IPAs like I do, get a Reality Czeck Pils.
Dalton CrosthwaitJuly 13, 2010If you're lucky enough to venture into this wondrous tavern - try ANYTHING they have from Stone Brewery. Guaranteed to be wonderful.
UntappdDecember 29, 2012If we have to tell you why you need to go here - you shouldn't be here. Cash only!
They don't sell liquor here but if you want to switch things up with the beer order a digestif shot.

"Probably the bar I have been to the most in SF. Pool tables, great beer selection (good value - served in imperial pint glasses), and a popup kitchen for dinner (get the burger + mac and cheese!)."

"Deliciously divey. A punk rock haven. Reminds me of DC."
