I love this place. Magnolia Pub & Brewery is a must stop while in San Francisco. Not only do they have a fantastic selection of brews, but you can find them in a great atmosphere. This place constantly plays Grateful Dead songs, which go with the theme. The staff is also very friendly. They make you feel at home while dining or drinking here. They also have some great food. I have tried various meals here, and they have all been superb. Be sure to put Magnolia Pub & Brewery on your list of stops in San Francisco.

Fantastic customer service. So much more personal than Starbucks, and little things like a free cup of coffee when you buy a pound of coffee says that the franchise cares more for its customer than the green giant. Support our local companies. Peets all the way!

is probably my favorite ice cream place for it's exotic flavors and so many exotic flavors to choose from. it makes ordering a little tricky unless you plan on having more than one dessert. they will also dip your ice cream in chocolate if you are so inclined. this place gets crowded on balmy nights when everyone is out for ice cream! great place to bring the kids and family.

First off, I have to admit, I've been a Speakeasy Mobster and shareholder since the late 1990s - so I am a little biased. As much as I love the current lineup of bottled beers: Big Daddy IPA, Prohibition Ale, Double Daddy Imperial IPA and the Untouchable Pale Ale (and the elusive Godfather Barleywine), it's the keg-only and the dearly departed brews that made this brewery tops in my book.
Keg Only:
The Bootlegger Black Lager holds up to the classic Sapporo Black and the archetype of the style: Kostritzer Schwartzbier. Malty and a little sweet, but also refreshing. There's a reason they're commonly called black pilsners.
The Shylock Maibock is also a great example of a German spring bock beer. Strong but balanced with a sweet malty character.
Even the Satchmo Stout, which should be bottled as there is a real lack of good local stouts, is a fantastic beer... nice and roasty and proof that stouts can aspire to be more than a Guinness.
However, the three best, most unique beers are ones that are unfortunately not being made any more.
White Lightning - their attempt at a berliner weisse, a sour beer that had undergone lactic fermentation. Even though it was a pain to produce and a bigger pain to clean out of the tanks and pipes, it was an amazing beer when stored and served properly (the trick was to make sure some live yeast made it into the glass like with a Belgian beer)
Common Beer - The San Francisco Common Beer was quite possibly the best beer produced on the west coast when it came to pairing with food, and it's a shame that restaurants all throughout the Bay Area didn't stock it. Maybe it was the name, or maybe the restaurant industry lacked the vision to pair a domestic beer with food the way they do now with Belgian brews. Either way, it is sorely missed.
Finally, the best of the bunch: Untouchable Lager - a perfect Maerzen beer, and possibly the best California-made lager I have ever had. This beer was fantastic, but unfortunately suffered in sales because the local market is biased towards ales.
The city is much better for having Speakeasy supplying its bars with fresh, local brew.
