Staff PicksJune 27, 2014Barrel Head Brewhouse has finally fired up the kettles and made their own house beer. A saison, a black kolsch, and a roggenbier are on offer now. Be sure to check them out. Read more
Bre LambertMarch 25, 2014Plan your entrance accordingly. A line forms outside on the hour & at the halves. Order a basket of fries to snack on while waiting for your table; they come piping hot w/ spicy mustard.
Christopher Mooney.January 16, 2016Fun spot to grab a tasty cocktail or house made beers. Food is creative and delicious. Great for groups or to catch the game with plenty of TVs.
Ashley MillerMarch 14, 2015Breakfast was awesome! I got the brisket hash skillet and cleaned my plate. I almost wish the portions were bigger! Fun atmosphere.
Gets by on the fact it is one of the only places in the area. Food is decent. Beer is good. Service is slooooooooooooowwwwwwww.
Nick GianosJanuary 5, 2015Burgers are pretty solid and they have good house beers and guest beers. Try the golden noodle ipa
Eddie LefflerMarch 17, 2014Just opened but great atmosphere and good selection of beer. Looking forward to when they are offering their home brews.
Rudy SJanuary 23, 2015Lots of good brews. Poutine wasn't most authentic I've ever had but I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Ashley RoseFebruary 20, 2017Good brews, especially nice variety on the darker beers. Pretzel was small but the fries were tasty.- The Tastes that Make the CityJanuary 28, 2015The housemade beers are the best craft beers in SF, making our list of "The Tastes That Make the City: SF Edition."

Ashley MorrisApril 22, 2018The food was great, especially the wings, but the service was terrible. We had to chase down our server several times to put in food and drink orders. She wasn't even busy.
House brews changes quickly, so be here often! Also they have growlers now!!
Nun AddictJuly 5, 2015Unfortunately all of the house beer in their sampler was pretty awful. Felt bad but our waitress was good enough to swap it out for a guest beer. A bit pricey and noisy but waitstaff is friendly.
Brian SperdutoMay 28, 2015Very sports bar, so can get really loud. The black IPA was good, and the chicken dish was worth getting.
Tim GolfballMarch 18, 2014Great selection of beers. Good atmosphere. Nice friendly staff. Decent food.
Braunson ChavezApril 9, 2014Great burger - old fashioned wasn't great - still great service and ambiance
Vanessa KerrMarch 28, 2014Great selection of food and liquor. They need to figure out a way to dampen the noise.
Mad house! Food was great, service was good too. Just waiting for them to serve their own beer.
Abhishek KonaSeptember 17, 2014The craft beers are a hike. They have decent food. It's more of a sports bar
Paul SMarch 29, 2014Decent selection of craft beers on tap. Do not order the Trail Mix! (It's rather small and very salty.) Should have house brews in 3-4 weeks.
JennMarch 25, 2014Cool atmosphere...the torpedo housing the taps is cool. Don't get the trail mix...not very good and too small portion for $5.
Michael SkeenApril 12, 2014Avoid the cristo sandwiches. Overall good food, but portions aren't large. They are clearly just getting their footing. Will try again in a couple weeks.
nora walkerDecember 16, 2019If you have an eternity to wait, this is the place for you. Every time I come here it has taken over an hour to get food, even when it isn’t busy.
