Maya ByrneMarch 3, 2017Awesome selection of draft beers. Tried out the pickle sampler and the salmon dish and wasn't impressed but will certainly be back for a beer
Staff PicksMarch 23, 2017Fermentation Lab lives up to its name by offering a plethora of brewed and pickled delights, with farmhouse veggies fermented on-site. Oh, and the ambiance makes for a great social laboratory, too.
Tiffany SchaeferMarch 3, 2017The beer list is great, the Banchan plate is delicious and the chicken sandwich is amazing. If you like hot sauce, make sure to ask for some of the chef's chile sauce - yum!
Eric ShineDecember 10, 2018Great beer selection. They had three sours on tap, love that! Food was good as well, try the ahi sandwich.
Clinton WinderJuly 27, 2018Good beer/wine. Food is surprisingly good for this area of town. Can get a little crowded at certain times
Max BrautigamAugust 5, 2019Great selection for a hot-insane price, and busy but not too loud for a conversation!
Kyle MinorAugust 9, 2023Kombucha on tap, duck sliders on deck, and AIRPLANE! on TV. What more could you ask for on a Tuesday?
Dan SohaydaSeptember 17, 2019Small space but nice. Pretty good beer list but not as good as City Beer Store nearby. Food options are good but my burger was too salty as many have said already. They’re all correct.
One of the best places in town to get a burger and a beer for roughly $20
William GunnApril 11, 2017Tiny, crowded, expensive. This might be the kinda place that is great to have nearby & to frequent, but it's not a destination thing.
Frost LiJuly 8, 2019Food was very salty and almost not edible. Didn’t like either of the beers I had. Overpriced and uncomfortable seats.

"My favorite large venue in San Fran. Park at the large parking lot nearby or take BART, don't try for street parking. Don't worry about where you're sitting, it's a great view from anywhere."
