    SF: 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

    $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.

    Beer list organized by type. Plenty of draught sours, like any proper SF hipster beer garden.

    A beer garden with bikers, a jukebox with local bands & a back patio full of picnic tables. As recommended by Travel Channel host, Anthony Bourdain.

    It's so popular for a reason - unpretentious, no bullshit spot with a reasonably priced, expansive beer list.

    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

    Can be crowded and smokey here, but when it's not packed is a really great place to have a beer and hang.

    Bloody 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

    Order up one of their 48 beers on tap or go big with their hefty liquor menu. Make it a "double" to get it served up in a massive mason jar. Read more

    $4 for a grilled cheese sandwich and home fries that can conjure up miracles (or at least cure hangovers).
