Barebottle Brewing Company — Restaurant in San Francisco

I REALLY REALLY hate to give this place 1 Star because their beer was excellent!! There was one bartender that was very knowledgeable and friendly. I was so excited about my flight of beer and the wide variety they had! However, that was short lived! The locals that visit this place are rude to visitors. Not only did they make fun of us out of towers who thought it exciting to take photos on their adventure but then they proceeded to do so with what I'm guessing is the security guard. As someone that comes from a long history of customer service I know what it feels like to close for the day and still have people in your establishment eating and drinking! You are ready to go home, you are tired, you are aggravated that someone came in as late as they did etc. I know first hand that the list goes on. However, when you work in customer service and you ACTUALLY enjoy it and working with the public, you suck it up and put on your best face for your patrons! This was not the case here. The same security guard that was friends with the rude locals proceeds to approach us at 15 till 9 to remind us they close at 9. RUDE! (I'm well aware you close at nine and trust me I know you want to go home so I didn't plan to hold you up very long anyways!) but then as the clock gets closer to 9 a bartender proceeds to stops at our table (note: I'm rather overly observant so I noticed the locals at the end of the bar whom still had beer and one with food in front of them weren't reminded of the time and that they needed to hurry up and finish!) Nevertheless, I understand that not all parts of this world know what southern hospitality is or hospitality at all!

If you do decide to check them out just be prepared to leave as soon as the...

I visited Barebottle Brewing Company during a beer tour sponsored by the SF Brewer's Guild. It was our last stop and I really enjoyed it. The brewery is huge inside and has a nice layout for tasting.

The bartenders were probably one of my favorite things. They were so easy to talk to and a real pleasure to have as company while were drinking. Extremely personable and friendly.

My favorite beer was the Any Beans Necessary Golden Coffee Ale. This experimental beer was amazingly smooth and delicious to drink. I'm still thinking about it weeks later. It's a Golden Ale fermented with whole Coffee & Vanilla Beans. It has vanilla and coffee aromas: berry, chocolate, roast, and nuttiness.

Truly delicious.

The Cherry Tart Monster was a close second. It was their sour offering and fit the bill as a Cherry Kettle Sour. Sour beers in California have a really different composition than sour beers in Florida and that's a fun thing to experience. Cherry just makes sense.

Everything else I tasted was also great. I would really love to go back here sometime and hey maybe someday one of their beers will end up on tap in Florida. One can...

we came to this brewery after dinner at a nearby restaurant for a few drinks to celebrate. we were a big group of 10+ adults and we were easily able to find seating which i thought was pretty lucky but they do have big picnic tables and we were also quickly tended to once we made our way to the bar to order our beers. we had all sorts of their beers off the menu from a sour, to a lager and whole lot of the hazy IPA which every one of my family members enjoyed their drink and either got a 2nd glass or enjoyed the first one so much that they tried a completely different one. some of us also made our way to the back area where they had a few pinball machines and other arcade games set up which they are a little but overpriced and 2 of the games straight up ate our money but it was no big deal. i'd definitely recommend anyone who is a beer aficionado or new to the craft beer world to grab a glass here and enjoy the...
