New Belgium Taproom & Restaurant

When you think of New Belgian Brewing, you probably think of Fat Tire and Colorado, but now you can also think of SF as the home of its first flagship restaurant and taproom. Located in Mission Bay, close to both the Giants and the Warriors stadiums, New Belgian is a full-service spot that can handle the crowds indoors and on the waterfront patio (canal, not Bay) with views of Oracle Park’s scoreboard. You can order a bunch of the New Belgium classics, but what you should do instead is try the small-batch releases brewed on-site, especially if there’s a sour on the menu.

Thanks to 170 indoor and outdoor seats, you’ll be sure to find a place to enjoy a beer and a snack at New Belgium’s first-ever flagship restaurant and taproom. Order any of the classic Belgian-style beers the Colorado-based brewing company is known for or get a little more experimental and try one of the on-site blends, including a selection of sours. Pair your choice with classic pub fare, including a Bavarian-Style Pretzel with cheddar beer fondue, Fish and Chips, and a Pulled Pork Sandwich. Every seat in the house is good due to floor-to-ceiling windows with scoreboard views, but our favorite spot on a sunny day is on the patio overlooking the canal.
How to book: Walk-ins only.
