“Pinsa Rossa is absolutely amazing! Their appetizers, salads, and, of course, the pinsas with their crunchy, flavorful crusts are all top-notch. Ken and his team have done an incredible job creating a dining experience that’s simply outstanding!Dietary restrictions: My daughter, a brand new lactating mom who can’t consume lactose products, asked for a pinsa with vegan cheese, and we couldn’t tell the difference, it was great!Parking: There’s parking available half a block away from the place.“
“Great service and ambiance. Place where there are great places to sit for a quick coffee, go heads down on your laptop, or have lunch with a small team or group of friends.I was not blown away by the coffee or food I tried, but was decent and made up for by the rest.“
“I haven't been here for many years. It's always been a Belgian beer bar. I'm not sure when Sante Adairius took it over but they've pretty much kept it the same as it was, in a good way. As I tend to drink IPA's, I was happy that they also had some on the menu. I tried the Left and Leaning, a non hazy that I really enjoyed. My friend had a very properly poured St. Bernardus (see photo). The service was great. Also on hand is a lovely, friendly Irish Setter. It was very fun when he visited our table. There's a nice $5 parking lot next door with an attendant. This alone would bring me back :)“
“Great service, love the French touches including the art, the copper counter at the bar and the idea of sitting outdoors with many wondering and stores to peek into. I ordered a Nicoise salad and was so disappointed to bite into crunchy sliced potatoes. Crunchy lettuce is a yes but not the potatoes.“
“My wife and I went to Outer Orbit for the first time recently on a date night. The food was great, the prices were reasonable, the staff were attentive and the ambiance was light and fun. I highly recommend checking it out. Parking can be an issue, (It's the mission district) it is what it is... 4 out of 5 stars “
“We got the cheeseburger, cheese steak, fries, and corn fritters. I really didn't expect everything to taste THIS good but I was so pleasantly surprised!! Everything was so tasty and the drinks were even better!!! I LOVED the house made ranch and put that on everything. The owner and staff were also super kind - will def be coming back. They have odd hours so it's hard to catch when they're open but definitely worth it.“
“What a location. And although on my own I received a table and wasn't tried to be parked at the bar. Really professional service. Fresh cutlery for each course, complimentary small cup of consommé, homemade Yorkshire Pudding (?). The Artichokes were divine. Shrimp and lobster Risotto good, presentation a bit boring (the"boring" bit just because I've expected more after having seen the Artichoke plate) Ristretto was hot.And yes, if you think someone is wearing a Chanel Jacket it probably is one. But no snobbism from anyone and was ok in my makeup free, tired self. Next time I feel like a treat I'll go back“
“It was fun to discover Bar Gemini in Mission/Potereo Hill... cozy little bar with a nice atmosphere and a tasty selection of foods and drinks. We got a great cheese board (paired with a French carignane and Austrian blaufrankisch), as well as smoked salmon dip, which was quite delicious. We'll try to come back!Vegetarian options: Several vegetarian options on the menuDietary restrictions: Some vegetarian, gluten-free, and vegan choices available“
“My favorite brewery in Oakland and it’s not even close. Large and diverse selection of beers such as IPA’s, malty ( schwarzbier, dopplebock, brown ale, etc), and light beers. the inside can be kind of tight but they have plenty of outdoor seating and the upstairs which has more seating and an entertainment area for kids. The customer service and the owners are always good people and there is food trucks always outside when I’m there which are quality as well.The only thing I can recommend is to watch your cars in the area. It’s still Oakland but I have yet to see a break in of my car or others but I would take valuables out. Other then that come visit this brewery, enjoy the amazing beers and good people.“

With its diverse selection of delicious beers and friendly staff, Humble Sea Brewing offers a memorable experience, though a touch of warmth in the form of patio heaters would have been the cherry on top for the enchanting outdoor space.

Cheers to a brewery that truly lives up to its name--humble yet impressive.“
“Got their coffee for the first time as my husband and I were headed out for a roadtrip through the Sierra Nevadas. It was the perfect start to the trip. The latte and pastry I got were delicious and even my husband who isnt much into breakfast and nearly never gets coffee enjoyed his order! Friendly stuff and inviting interior. Worth a drive over the Bay bridge if youre in SF!“
“This place is sooo good it was worth the drive!The place is super clean and fun!The burrito was 10/10, and it is huge. I totally understand why is this price!The guacamole was delicious!The cashier was a really nice guy, and he made sure everyone had their needs met and he didn’t stop one minute! Between cleaning, greeting and etc… he is awesome! You guys are luck to have him!We are definitely coming back!“
“Liquid Gold is a perfect name for this beer spot. How else can you describe the golden elixir's on tap? If you are a beer person, you will leave this place happy. And I would't say you have to be a certain kind of beer person (that is, ipa, sour, etc.) Different styles are fairly well represented across many excellent local craft breweries. I really like how LG offers a very small pour option for most beers, which allows me to try a lot more without both the cost and getting too toasty. But I believe they also offer growler options, which is super convenient (especially if you're close by, which alas I am not.) Also, they have a pretty big cooler with cans, so if you need more options to bring home you're very covered. Finally, they don't serve food but I have brought snacks, etc. inside (Nourish cafe is just a few doors down, hint hint.) Enjoy a sandwich in a low-key, relaxing joint, with plenty of beer to keep your thirst quenched.“
“I was on the way to a different brewery in the area but they were closed and I’m glad I found this spot. The staff are down to earth and friendly and the atmosphere was perfect for what I was looking for (getting a little work done along with a pint).“
“Amazing happy hour special where I got 3 tacos, a sangria with tips for less than $20- a steal for SF dinner prices! The service was attentive and kept the place clean occasionally checking in on our group to see if we needed more food.My favorite was the mushroom taco it was surprisingly spicy!Lots of tables for big groups inside so I can see it being a popular spot on a Friday or a more lively time.“
“Looking forward to coming back and trying more of the food. I had the 2 papusas + chicken soup combo and I loved it all, especially that soup. Friendly attentive service, she even brought us a little bowl of corn alote on the house when we asked about it. So nice. Definitely recommend.“
“Popped into Anina and, let me tell you, their punch bowl is a party starter. We went for this vibrant purple concoction, served up with a citrus twist – each sip was a fruity, refreshing delight. The bowl itself was a centerpiece, inviting us to dip in and share stories. Anina's got that laid-back, friendly bar vibe that's perfect for unwinding with friends. Whether you're here to kick off the night or cap it off, grabbing a punch bowl at Anina is a must-do“
“My first time trying Indian food and for sake of playing it safe I only ordered chicken tiki masala and garlic naan and basmati rice. The food was absolutely delicious. Served hot and full of flavor. I asked for mild to medium tiki masala and it was perfect . The garlic naan had right amount of garlic and toasted perfectly. I look forward to trying out more items. I ordered take out and person that answered phone is same person that I met and was very friendly and provided quick service. My order was correct packaged well. The restaurant looked very clean nicely decorated.“
“The atmosphere at 2 Pitchers is always great, there are plenty of seating options. 2 Pitchers specializes in brewing RADLERS which are like fruitier beers that are lighter on the ABV than other popular craft beers. They have a good selection of their own brewed beers ($6 per pint) and then they also have a great variety of local beers from other craft brewers in the area which go for $8-10 per pint. They also have some wines but no liquor license. You can get a burger or fries from Lovely's (which always has a line!) and eat it here. There are indoor and outdoor seating options, and it is very dog and kid friendly.“
“Good beer list with good variety, poutine was on offer and a large portion, well executed burgers. The bartender was great and perfect for opening up the communal atmosphere of the establishment. Vegetarian Diet: They have some great meat alternatives for a fraction of the cost.“
“Small cool little spot. The sweet potatoes tacos are the reason I come here! They are legit ! Def the crowd you’d expect, but the tacos are legit, and the burrata are me two favs, but mainly those sweet potato tacos !Vegetarian options: Plenty of choices and gluten freeDietary restrictions: Vegan gluten free choices worth checking outParking: Good luck“
“I love this place. The chillers are awesome. I always want some random flavor combo & it's always on point. The service is my favorite. As much as I go there I don't know the guy at the registers name but he's always so nice. I get the turkey & cheddar a lot“
“Hands down the best spot to have a beer and talk with friends, neighbors, or strangers. It's not a large space, but always manages to have enough room to be more than comfortable. The ambiance is warm and inviting with a clean, minimalist look. The beer is stellar, and they always keep variety on tap. Hoi has become an anchor for the neighborhood.“
“Zapatos (their version of burritos) are great. Beer selection is wide and overall, the vibe is pretty nice here. However, the front staff really want to leave by closing time; meaning, they start passively asking people to leave an hour+ before closing time. Not normally a stickler for service, but I experienced being shooed out on multiple occasions so I thought it might be worth mentioning that FYI not the most hospitable.“
“We hosted a merchant event and the prices are extremely reasonable. The food was great. Lots of veg salads and two veg sausage options along with delicious wide variety of other sausages. Owners are great and working hard along with the rest of the staff. Easy to plan our event. Thanks Danny!“
“I went for a book signing and found a lovely place with a knowledgeable and Uber friendly staff. Also found a bubbly to die for, local and the winemaker makes a sparkling white. I had a rose. I would go back to learn more about wines, which they had a few on tap as it is better for the environment as I was told by the bartender and part owner Jamie. There are simply not enough stars. Such a great place will definitely go again just cause I can. You should check it out“
“This is more about the management side of things. I honestly didn’t have the BEST experience with them on my last order. BUT, they went out of there way to fix things. They are new in Oakland, just getting the operation together and I’m happy to see them there. They aren’t the cheapest but, I don’t want the Dominoes or Pizza Hutt experience (or quality) and if I pay a little extra for food, I want good service to follow. In the end, they offered great service. I’m impressed.“
“Sounds like they have jazz and local acts for live music on a regular basis - we went on a Wednesday and Bob Scott Trio was playing. They were so much fun to listen to and watch! Nice guys too when we had a chance to chat in between sets.Chicken Sammie buffalo style was pretty good - large though, went home with leftovers! Super sturdy bread which was delicious.“
“Great spot near Public Works and Kink Bar to grab some food that's casual and tasty. I had some fresh cut fries (delish), and a very spicy Korean style chicken wings that were yummy as well. The bar menu had a huge selection of beer, cider and non-alcoholic beers as well. Definitely recommend if you want to hang causally with friends. They have a back room with lots of tables to dine on.Vegetarian options: Brussel sprouts“
“Nice bar with two pool tables.I have been here quite a few times. The bartenders are nice and friendly. They have a good variety of beer, and whiskey. There is a shuffle board, basketball hoop and few other bar games.Found a lot of friendly people who are ready to play a game of pool.“

“Shout out to Matt for great conversation, fun records, and delicious wine recommendations. The snacks of umami crackers, cheese plate, and incredible candied nuts were tasty. The seating area had high tops, couch, bistro tables, and a bar to choose from. It's a fun spot to hang out. I'll certainly be back for record swaps on Sundays and tarot card readings on Tuesdays.“
“What a total cool brewery to hang out at. Food really good and great IPA's. The atmosphere is outstanding with indoor and outdoor seating. It is right next to (literally) Chase Center where the Warriors play and other concerts etc. perform.“
“Came here after work. Lots of tv. Have outdoor seatings and some tables inside but you can also seat at the bar area. They have free popcorn. They wr code for the restaurant next door but they are okay for you to bring outside food. As for the drinks, they have beers, cocktails, and wine or take a shot if you want too as well. They have a pool table and jukebox if you want to play music. The staffs are nice but they can get busy once the place started to get busy. Prices are decent/average.“
“I cannot say enough good things about this place. If I wasn’t heading back home tomorrow, I would go back to this place for a third time. The food is phenomenal, the staff are all VERY kind and courteous and the small little pub transports you across the pond. The grilled chicken is to die for - whether it’s on the chicken sandwich or Cobb salad I cannot say a single bad thing about this place. An absolute gem worth stopping in to experience!“
“The 4 of us started with pikilia, a nice sampling of the mezethes, which were delicious. It would have been easier if we hadn't had to cut most items in half so that each of us could have a sample of each item. (Perhaps the plate could be sized and ordered "for 2, for 3, for 4," etc.) The beyti was beautiful and tasted wonderful. Also fabulous were the kotopoulo brochettes, souzoukaklia, and sultani. We had room to share the chocolate dome and the salted caramel gelato. We loved the food, and our server was delightful. Although the place is small, there was only one bartender and one server that Monday night; we had to request attention from time to time. The door also tended to remain open, which allowed cold air, cigarette smoke, and truck exhaust to infiltrate. We did shut the door several times, but next time we'll ask to be seated in the back. We'll definitely return - often!“
“I've passed by Baby Blues hundreds of times and made the mistake of never stopping in. I ordered ribs, mac and cheese, and collard greens. All of the items were delicious and the ribs were as good as any I've had in San Francisco. Couple great food with with warm and friendly service and it's clear that I should add Baby Blues into the rotation of my favorite neighborhood restaurants. See you again soon.“
“This is my favorite study spot, noise level low and middle eastern food choices ( tea, food, and coffee) traditional , excellent quality, and reasonably priced. I also chose to support locally owned snd operated businesses that are being lost to gentrification. This owner operated cafe is a an anchor to the community and has donated time, space and money to non- profits and activism for decades!“
“The Elbo Room has been great to us! We as a band have played a few shows so far and it's always a fun turnout! Jimmy and Dean have created a vibrant space with amazing music and tasty cocktails! Most of all, the staff is extremely friendly! Thank You for having us and for sharing your space with us!! We can't wait to be back!“
“Out with Hoboken Joe leaving our mark on a few watering holes, even had a few with Crazycat and his lil Pleasure Point Attagirl down at Goosebump Charlie's. Then Attagirl yells out she wants a big ol sausage!Well, that was our clue to Lickity Split outa there, so we headed straight to Schroeder's for a Bratwurst.And, I'll tell you what....it was Amazing! 5 Stars ☆☆☆☆☆“
“What used to be the old hamburger Mary's is now called The Willows it's a fun inviting friendly place where you can take a first date or meet a group of friends close to other bars and restaurants so it's a great beginning of the evening place as well as the end of the evening stop off quiet but “
“Somehow this spot feels like a backcountry ranger station or mountain top ski hut. What I’m saying is it’s cozy, simple, understated and completely unique for the area brewery/bar scene. These guys make great beer and wine locally, and empanadas are on point. Look for the ski lift chair out front and escape.“
“Alameda Island Brewery is a great place to hang out with friends or socialize. They have a big dining area with lots of space and one big screen TV to watch the game. The dining area was nice and open due to all the big open windows. They also have a large selection of draft beers to choose from which I like. They brew their own beer as well which I have yet to try. They have some flights they can offer. I did try a sampler of a unique beer that was 5% called 'Sarap' meaning good in Tagalog. It was on draft. It's a hint of calamansi in it. It was actually good! I will have to get that again next time. The guy at the counter was cool and friendly.Looks like they share the space with the Fikscue Craft BBQ next door as long as you buy their beers. Which we did! Prices are decent as well. Not a bad place to hang out, and just drink and chill. I know I will be back here again!“
“Simply the best. Better than all the rest! (The song that plays in my head when I walk into the Good Hop)The draft list is always fire. And if you can't find a beer in the back you like.... well. That's not possible.Go and drink it!“
“Great folks on staff, always ready to recommend good beers. They always have a good food option, with different vendors coming in on different days. ALWAYS an amazing beer selection, be sure to get some beers to go from the fridge doors as “
“The Beer Hall is a sweet little hole-in-the wall joint with a very nice draft beer list and just enough wines (6 when we visited) to keep wine drinkers happy. They have a short list of nosh-ables to provide a quick bite before a show in the Civic Center area. Highly recommended.“
“Upon our arrival at the restaurant, we were seated immediately without any wait. After taking our seats, a waiter presented us with water and menus. The restaurant offers the option to order food by scanning a QR code located on each table. Service throughout our visit was minimal but efficient, with our meals arriving promptly. Additionally, I appreciated the inclusion of two gender-neutral restrooms, which I found to be exceptionally clean—a detail I consider important when dining out.“
“We’ve been in multiple times, enough to almost be “regulars”. Every experience has been better than the last. The food is amazing. Michael really kills it with all of his regular menu items and totally knocks it out of the park with his specials! Oh, and the beer…??!! Delicious. We love that we can always take a few of our favorites home with us to enjoy between visits. Super friendly staff, we love Sophia and Chris and look forward to getting to know all the new folks too. Highly recommend. Easy parking. Super safe area.“
“I come up from San Jose to this place all the time. Definitely a spot worth visiting when in the area. The ambiance is chill, everyone is friendly. The drinks are constantly rotating and are top notch. Above all there's the awesome and amazing Bob: super friendly, really knows his stuff and makes the best drinks known to man. Highly recommended“
“Great drinks, cider, and decent selection of tequila! Hearty fried chips will stand up to their very fresh guacamole and spicy salsa. Our pork taco was cute on its on wooden serving board, the salad with chicken is always generous, but on our most recent visit, the meats were dry and bland. Better next time, I'm sure. Service is friendly and easy going, atmosphere is super casual. Good spot for a quick bite or time out with friends and family.“
