San Francisco Brewing Co. San Francisco

Nice place to relax

Kathleen from San Francisco

"Good beer, starters, pizza, burgers, sandwiches, and desserts. Where do I start? "San Francisco Brewing Co." on Fisherman's Wharf has it all..."

After a long day of walking around Fisherman’s Wharf, Ghirardelli Square, and the surrounding areas, there’s nothing better than a cold beer and great food.

After spending way too much money on my dogs at one of the dog “specialty” shops in Ghirardelli Square, I was done for the day. And it just so happened that I turned the wrong way to go out and ran smack dab into the best thing I’d set my eyes on all day; San Francisco Brewing Company.

Good beer, starters, pizza, burgers, sandwiches, and desserts. Where do I start? After a gander at the menu, I decided on Cauliflower Bites - fried crisp and served with yogurt sauce, a house salad, and the Hippie Pie because, you know, I used to be one.

The Hippie Pie was topped with pesto, mozzarella, seasonal veggies, and Laura Chenel chèvre. I opted for the Grapefruit by the Bay IPA to accompany all that deliciousness. I was not disappointed.

For dessert, I opted for the Brownie Sundae. This may sound boring and predictable, but it wasn’t. This one was topped with vanilla bean ice cream, Ghirardelli chocolate sauce, and whipped cream! I wanted to pretend I was Ann-Margret in “Tommy” and dive into a vat of Ghirardelli chocolate sauce wearing all white and frolic. But I digress…

San Francisco Brewing Company is the place to relax after a long day. You’ll love the food and the ambiance, I promise. Go. You know you want to.

About me Born on an American Army base in Germany, I came to the states when I was six months old and my parents were stationed back home at Fort Lewis in Tacoma, Washington, where I spent my entire childhood. Little did I know that the military lifestyle was going to become what inspired me to become an artist. I have been a photographer for most of my life. Whether I knew it or not is another story. I picked up my first camera at the age of eight and became - much to the chagrin of my strict parents - the family voyeur. Often my dad would tell me that what I was doing was ...
