Caskhouse Delicious ales and porter-braised short-ribs on 24th

Joining the 24th St restaurant-splosion, Caskhouse is a neighborhood bar from two dudes: one owns a Laurel Heights wine bar, and the other is an alum of Weston High School in Connecticut, a member of the Pete the Gambler Fantasy Football League, and clearly someone who doesn't understand Facebook's new privacy settings.

While not the largest draft list in the world, they're proving that size doesn't matter (right ladies? Right?!?) with some pretty great eclectic selections like Ommegang's Witte, Third Street Aleworks' Puddle Jumper Pale, or this Drake's IPA.

The walls have art.

They also have an approachable selection of wine... blurrily pictured in the background of this delicious Black Robusto because, beer.

Also: try the housemade chips and horseradish sour cream-topped beef short-rib sliders, which're braised with a porter, but only after he takes your bags up to your room.

With a corner seat and full bay windows, you'll have a view of the entire street, but not the Noe Valley Town Square, no matter how much that second owner LIKEs it.
