Andrea BarrezuetaDecember 3, 2014You'd never expect to find such a great spot in this area of SF but it exists and it's worth the trip, even if you don't drink beer. Great taste flights.
- tina huangNovember 29, 2015by far the coolest taproom concept and execution of a speakeasy-style place I've seen! bartenders have always been great, super helpful. favorites are Scarlett (Amber ale) and Metropolis (lager)
Scott PerketOctober 20, 2013Cool speakeasy style bar with a big booth room and a large table room for big groups. The beer is awesome. Take a tour if you can. Funny and you get a pint glass and beer flight.
SefDecember 11, 2014I came from out of town to buy some xmas gifts. I felt very greated from the moment I walked in. favorite place everytime I come to SF from now on!
The tap room is really nice and well themed. I'm surprised that no other beer or alcohol company tried to do the prohibition era before these guys did! Super cool event, worth the vip prices.
Corrie DavidsonAugust 12, 2013It may not be the bed part of town, but you'll forget your surroundings when you step into the highly detailed prohibition-era taproom. Beautifully appointed plus a brewery with a great story.
Markeda CottonhamJuly 1, 2016The big daddy and black hand is a knockout. Strong , great tasting beers at great prices. Outdoor seating as well as indoor. Dogs and kids welcomed on the patio!
Great beer, they always have amazing food vendors, great spot to chill or watch a game.
Staff PicksJuly 8, 2014Celebrate Speakeasy Ales & Lagers 17th year of beer making as they debut 5 new special brews. Make it a date night, or an after-work event and enjoy some cold ones at this local spot. Read more
Jaakko HynynenJanuary 5, 2017Baby daddy on tap! Great atmosphere and some outdoor tables for those sunny days. Totally worth the detour to a far corner of SF.
Ryan LeggettNovember 19, 2013The tour is totally worth the experience, and the beer is never as fresh as it is inside the brewery. Definitely check it out if you get the chance.
Serious EatsSeptember 8, 201312 taps of beer are available at Speakeasy's taproom. Check the website for hours before visiting.

NikoAugust 19, 2014Check out the speakeasy room in the back. Great lighting and atmosphere. Grab a Blind Tiger if it's available.
Ross DonahueOctober 4, 2014A little off the beaten path but well worth a trip out here for some good beer
Excellent dark and barrel-aged beers you can’t get outside the taproom!
Nicole MaciasFebruary 24, 2013If you like malt liquor try the green flash! Otherwise the barley wine and smoked porter are delightful. Great tap room.
UntappdDecember 29, 2012A little south of downtown - check out what those "sneaky" eyes mean on the side of their bottles. We recommend the Payback Porter!
Greg SchechterAugust 19, 2014Great tap room for this brewery. Go on a Friday after work and get one of their strong dark beers.
Errol ReyesSeptember 25, 2014Forgot the name but the highest alcohol content (9.5) was really good. Their beers vary in taste.- Barracuda NetworksSeptember 14, 2011Speakeasy has delicious beers and fun events. We love their creative names and logos as much as we love local brews!
- As of 3.15.13 - happy hour is from open until 6pm on flagship beers only. Big Daddy, Prohibition, Scarlett & Tallulah.
Official smart USAApril 11, 2013Grab a designated driver and head over to one of S.F.’s most renowned breweries, Speakeasy Ales & Lagers.
The Bold ItalicMarch 10, 2011At the Fri happy hour, $10 gets you two beers and a free pint glass, which the bartender will happly fill up with 'tastes' of the many varieties. Read more
Katrina JamesSeptember 8, 2013I went to my first Speakeasy block party today, and it was so much fun!
Zach ZieglerDecember 16, 2014They don't do tours yet. But the taproom really sets the scene of a Speakeasy!
- Speakeasy's new Taproom will grand open on Feb 9, 1-9pm. Check it out on their website: goodbeer.com
Go to their Friday 4-9pm happy hour (the only time they're open?). Get there at 4 if you want a tour, too.
Chris H.March 19, 2016The tour is lame. Not worth the trip out to Bayview. And the bar area is way too cramped.
Don't rent their private rooms, it's such a rip off. They have crappy service and the bartenders are rude. People should wait until the actual brewery is open cuz the people in the tap room suck!
