After visiting a couple of art galleries in San Francisco on Saturday, January 11, 2025, I convinced DJ that we should dine out in the city since we were already out. Remembering that he had been wanting to check out 21st Amendment for some years now, I suggested that we go here. DJ was immediately sold. After calling two to three times to no avail, we temporarily parked nearby, so that DJ could walk in to check if they were still open and serving dinner. Thankfully, they were open, but they didn't hear the phone ring. We reparked, then arrived shortly before 7:30 PM and were seated immediately. I had been at 21st Amendment before for a very enjoyable lunch with some colleagues back in November, 2019 and the place looked exactly how I remembered it. Venue: 4 stars. With concrete floors and walls with wooden tables and chairs & benches, the restaurant has a rustic and industrial air. Upon entry, patrons are greeted by the bar with seating and its attendants. They have an open kitchen from where the cooks can nod greetings to you. The entire space, including the women's restroom is kept clean & tidy. DJ's only complaint was that he did not enjoy some of the techno music that would play in between the salsa and reggaeton songs both of which I was totally digging. Food: 3 stars. In addition to the TALL HAT that DJ ordered and fully enjoyed, below-listed are the food items that we had. Soup of the Day, Gumbo ($7 cup) - I was given a couple of complimentary slices of toasted bread to accompany my New Orleans stew which were nice to dip in the broth and eat. I'm not quite sure what kind of meat was used, but there was no sausage. 21st Amendment's version of gumbo is more like a soup rather than a stew as the broth was not as thick as usual. The flavour was still good, but I did wish that there was okra. When I was at the bottom of the cup and asked how I liked the gumbo, I commented that I enjoyed it, but was surprised that it was completely absent of rice. Our server, Luis, went back to the kitchen to inquire, returned, informing me that the kitchen admitted to forgetting it, so with a new cup including rice in hand, he served the second serving to me and comped the cup from our bill. Wow, I was very impressed by how the matter was handled. Veggie Burger ($16) with Garlic Fries ($2) - DJ said that the sriracha flavour of the aioli was light/faint. He would have preferred a little more punch of spice from the condiment. The garlic fries were not bad. Baja Fish Tacos with mixed greens ($19) - The two tacos were very generous in portions and the fish were perfectly fried golden. I found the cod to be fishy in taste, so I gave my second taco to DJ. He did not notice any fishy flavour which is very interesting because he is a vegetarian and I expected him to notice it much more than I did. Weird. Meat Lover's PIZZA ($20) - We ordered two of these twelve inch pies for to-go for the boys. Both said that they were good. Service: 5 stars. As I mentioned before, Luis was our waiter and he delivered stellar service. As a former server, myself, I noticed immediately the excellent care we were given by him. The entire night, I kept commenting to DJ on every moment that Luis demonstrated his top-notch customer service. We will definitely need to come back...when Luis is working! read more

While wandering around San Francisco in search of some food and a cold beer, I stumbled upon 21st Amendment. It's a cozy little brewery with a menu full of tempting options- apps, burgers, pizza, and tacos. I went with the meat lover's pizza and a hazy IPA, and both were excellent. When I asked the beertender for his favorite, he recommended the blood orange IPA, which did not disappoint. My only gripe? I wish the atmosphere had been a bit more friendly and chatty, especially since it wasn't very busy. read more

Can't say anything bad about this place. A very solid, and standard brewery. The pizza was great and a good size can totally share if you get an appetizer with it as well. The burger was also really big but I appreciated the veggie burger tasting really good and not like fake meat. The tater tots were crispy to perfection. And the cheese curds cheese pull was crazy. The star was the chipotle sauce that came with it though. It's really close to oracle park so great place to go before games or to watch the game. And everything came out in a decent amount of time. Servers were attentive and nice. There is plenty of seating inside and some outdoor spots as well. read more

Got some good ass beers from this South Beach neighborhood brewery. It also has a few better than average things on the food menu. 21st Amendment is a pretty relaxing place most of the time it seems. Has a bar area in the front along with the tables that are better for groups. Prices are a little high but not too crazy for a craft brewery like this. Convenient spot for going to before or after a Giants game. It's a couple blocks from Oracle Park. This brewery has won many awards for its beers over the years. Many from the Great American Beer Festival and the World Beer Cup. This place gets hopping crazy on game days, but other times it's quiet. It's about $8 for a pint. The best one of these we had the last time was the 21 Tigers. Lots of fruity flavors in it. There's notes of guava, passion fruit, peach, and tangerine. As for the food, there's typical bar food such as burgers. Some choices too for vegetarians. It's $12 for the Smokey Hummus. This is a pretty small portion, the only complaint about it. Has lots of great beers. It's also got pretty tasty food. This is one of the popular places for those going to games or whatever. read more

Such a fun place to go to before the Giants game! It's about 2 blocks away from the stadium so super convenient. I got their famous highwatermelon beer and it was excellent. We also shared some apps because we were starving. The fish tacos & warm spinach dip were tasty & standard. read more

Came here before a Giants game with some friends and it was packed. We had to wait for about 15 minutes in line outside. The inside is a wonderfully lively environment, and it was noisy but you could still hear each other for conversations. I ordered the Granada Pomegranate Cider and the Veggie Burger. The cider was great -- not too sweet, and the pomegranate flavor actually comes through well without just tasting like a juice. I loved the veggie burger! Some places have the veggie patty too mushy, but this place had it crispy and well-balanced with the other ingredients. The fries were also great and love the thick cut. The service was pretty good for how crowded the place was. My friends and I had a great time getting dinner before the game. Would come out again! read more

21st Amendment Brewery - Brewpubs Near Me - San Francisco, California

21st Amendment is a dependable dining and drinking spot, with fantastic brews on tap and tasty food. I've been in here a handful of times, and each time has been fun. Last time there I went with my partner and we enjoyed two of their seasonal beers; the one that stood out most was the Fireside Chat. It's a dark and flavorful brew that pairs exceptionally well with their chili, which is also delicious. It's prepared with free range beef, which impresses me. You seat yourself at the bar or a table. A server comes up pretty quickly. Once the food and drink arrives, you may have to raise your hand to get their attention for other stuff, but that doesn't bother me. It's a laid back vibe here; and I like that. That said, food and drink arrive pretty quickly... never an issue. Ceilings are tall, and there is an upstairs loft for private parties. It can get loud when crowded but not annoyingly so. Multiple TV's play sports games. It's a cozy, feel good kinda spot. They have excellent chicken wings, but I'd love to see a boneless option, with organic chicken, and a vegan option to delight my vegan friends... but that's just me being picky. I'll continue to return here. Great spot to hang with the friends, or for a low key date night. read more

First time going here. It was crowded I guess the baseball game was over and people decided to go have a drink and eat after the game. The beer and the wings were amazing. The service was great and the place is cool where you can watch any sports on TV. I like the atmosphere. I will come back here again. read more

Really good beer but service was lacking. I get it was a game day but my goodness, people sitting at the bar were completely ignored while walk ups were served first. We at there for almost a half hour before getting asked if we wanted another beer. Totally disappointing. Tater Tots were good. read more

21st Amendment Brewery - Brewpubs Near Me - San Francisco, California

This is truly my favorite brewery for their beer. They have a beer called Hell or high watermelon, and I will go out of my way whenever I'm in the city to order it and or purchase it if I see it in a store. the service is fantastic. The only time I've ever been disappointed is when they closed early because the Giants game ended, which I totally understand where they were coming from. I've stopped in during conferences and gotten a quick bite for lunch as well as a couple of beers just to make it through the rest of the conference and I have zero regrets for that. I highly recommend you coming in and trying some thing of theirs. Their french fries are fantastic and again their beer is the best. read more

21st Amendment Brewery - Hell or High Watermelon, Wheat Beer - Brewpubs Near Me - San Francisco, California

I had a flight, and it was quite an enjoyable experience. The flight included four beer selections: "Hell or High Mango," "Brew Free! or Die Cold IPA," "Fireside Chat," and "Amendment Lager." My personal favorite from the flight was "Hell or High Mango." It's a light and refreshing straw-colored beer with a delightful fruity sweetness, brewed with real mangoes. The tropical floral notes in this beer really hit the spot. read more

I've been coming to this brewery before giants games for almost 10 years now. Current favorites: - Dodger Tears - Hell or High Watermelon Preferred food: - cheese curds: this is a must! So good! - tatchos: pro tip - ask for extra pico! - cubano or burger: you honestly can't go wrong with either. I only wish the burgers and sandwiches weren't a La carte. This place is an easy, walkable distance to Oracle Park. If you're just in for a visit but happen to arrive on a game day, be prepared to wait as they are very popular. read more

We came here before a game, as has become our tradition. It was not too crowded, and we were quickly seated. We ordered the usual suspects: cheese curds and wings. Also, I was surprised to see shishito peppers on the menu - very chic for a tavern! And I was saddened to see the deep-fried pickles had gone away. Sigh . . . We also ordered a michelada - for a change. After all, it's a brewery and then some! The food came quickly and was nice and hot. The cheese curds were smaller in portion than our last visit, but enough for a pre-game nosh. The peppers were perfectly cooked and salted, and very tasty. The michelada was good and very refreshing. Overall, there was great service and good food - bring back the pickles!! - and a decent portion of cheese curds. Which means we will be back. read more

21st Amendment on 2nd St has been a staple for thirsty Giants fans for decades, and though the brewery is now located in San Leandro, the old OG location still has a special place in my heart. Though I don't come here very often, places like these where not much changes because it doesn't have to, should be cherished. Obviously, as is tradition, 21st was packed before the Giants game tip-off. They also had Euro soccer final game on both TVs, which gave for some fun atmosphere. Our gang of 4 ordered pepperoni pizza, 2 orders of garlic fries and cauliflower, along with some house beers. The food was really good pub grub, but their garlic fries are one of the best I've tried anywhere. The seasoning is just spicy enough (similar to curry) and garlic is chunky and flavorful. The beers were good...not something I'd seek out, but nothing I've tried at 21st was bad. No mistake about it, Giants pre-game still starts at 21st Amendment read more

Fantastic spot to grab food and drinks before heading to a Giants game! I always get their Diablo burger (if you appreciate a little spice) and a side of their tater tots. Personally appreciate the tots more than the fries but you can't go wrong with either! Huge variety of beers but my go-to is their Ace's Guava cider! So refreshing and light. Inside seating or outside - awesome and speedy service with a sports bar atmosphere. read more

21st Amendment Brewery - Diablo Burger and Tater Tots - Brewpubs Near Me - San Francisco, California

Just heard that the 21st is closing and I definitely have mixed feelings about it. I have really enjoyed the time spent there before Giants games and some of there food and drink have been real home runs but most of the best items had been removed years ago to make way for things easy to prepare. I feel that they kind of killed their own business as we used to go there all year round, not just before Giants games. My fav, the jerk chicken was removed from the menu along with sauteed mixed veggies, onion hoops, fried pickles, chicken bahn mi, quesadillas, Chinese chop salad, buffalo chicken salad, bbq chicken pizza, the reuben, just to just name a few. Everything they ever got acclaim for gone other than the watermelon wheat and the El Sully, Back in the day they did an oyster stout that changed my mind in darker beer. Now you don't see that anymore, just lots of variations on the same old stuff. Their watermelon wheat beer is quite good but they thought they could put any fruit in there and still make it work which is a rookie mistake for a beer maker. They cursed themselves with putting out that mango version of the watermelon wheat which was so bad even neither the Giants nor BevMo couldn't push it. On my visit a week ago I had a very odd experience. A delicious pulled pork sandwich that was amazing along with a very small portion of cold fries that appeared to be leftovers from someone who got fresh fries 15 minutes prior. The irony of the juxtaposition was a microcosm of the 21st, home runs and strikeouts! read more

We came here right after opening prior to a 1pm baseball game. The restaurant was busy but accommodating groups inside and out. Everyone we talked to was in a good mood and kind- which with two kids in the group isn't always a given. The service was fantastic and super quick. They really have the game day rush down! We had a great time and our beers and food were delicious. We've always enjoyed 21st amendment beers and I'm so glad that will extend to the restaurant as well! read more

Its that time a year! Baseball season, and that means the launch of Watermelon Wheat at 21st Amendment.

I've been a fan of hell or high watermelon for a while so it was exciting to fry hell or high mango!

All ordering is via QR code and everything came out very quickly. I loved hanging out in the streatery outside! read more

21st Amendment Brewery - Brewpubs Near Me - San Francisco, California

So very disappointed. We decided to stop by for a few beers before Saturday's Giants game around 4pm. We walked to the front door, as we have done countless times before and noticed the security/ doorman talking to a couple of people. Since we are aware they don't like you to just walk in, I approached the doorman and asked very politely, "excuse me, can we just walk in or should we wait in line to be let in?" He immediately barked at me "can't you see I'm talking? You are being very disrespectful!" Which I answered back, "I'm so sorry" and waited. When he took a pause from talking to his friends, he asked what our business was, "are you looking to drink some beers, or what?" I said yes and he ordered me to find a place near the front by the bar. Wow, so rude! So much for a friendly place and customer service. With the attitude, this will end many decades of patronage. So sad they hire an attitude like that to work the door. We'll never go back there again and think twice about picking up their beer in the market. read more

Comfortable sports bar near Giants stadium. Their craft beers have achieved nationwide acclaim. Menu items are much better than you might expect from other sports bars. The staff is very friendly and well versed in both the brew and food offerings. Would certainly recommend; parking can be a problem even if it's not a game day read more

What an idiot. Why would the bartender leave my debit card face up on the bar while I went to the washroom with my card number exposed. Wouldn't be the first time they've done something stupid like this. They've also given themselves tips on my card. Definitely not coming back. read more

I've been to this 21st Amendment location twice and they were two rather different experiences with the same wait staff which is really funny to me. The first time I was here was right after a Giants game had ended. It was only 9:30 and they were turning people away and not letting anyone else enter despite their 10 PM closing time. They did last call and I only got to order one beer which sucked I had a much better experiencet the second time we went when we went on a normal night and ordered a flight. The same wait staff were more relaxed and cheerful for some reason. I was going to give this place a lower rating but the second time I went it was drastically better service. I would say don't go when it's after a baseball game but rather go when they are less crowded I suppose read more

Daughter visiting from NJ, she is a big fan of the brews of 21st Amendment. During a day in SF the 21st Amendment Brew Pub was a must. It's a large space, chill atmosphere on the Sunday we went. Good array of brews, something for everyone. They also have a full menu of food to choose from. Daughter ordered the sampler, picking out the beers she wanted to try. I tend to like lagers and lower alcohol brews so I opted for the Amendment Lager which was really good. Like I said chill atmosphere, very cool bartender who gave us some great advice on a late night bar in the area. The Sunday we went the 49ers were playing the Eagles, several TV's to view the game and it was a good crowd cheering on the local team. Was about to order another lager when I saw the bartender making a Michelada and decided to have one. Wow, it was awesome and I have had a bunch. Gotta remember for the next visit. Give 21st Amendment Brew Pub a try, you won't regret it! read more

Came here with some friends for dinner and drinks, was able to get seated with no reservations on a saturday night. There seemed to be a Giants game too so I was surprised it wasn't packed. The beers and food here aren't bad. I just feel like the flavors aren't super robust - like there's just more water almost like the lacroix of beer. Tbf, I lived in San Diego for a long time which is craft beer and IPA central. So maybe my tastebuds just need something stronger! read more

21st Amendment Brewery is a brewery I have seen and heard around for quite a while but really only recently tried their beer not long ago. I like wheat beers and so I went with one of their very popular beers, the Hell or High Watermelon wheat beer. I wasn't too sure what to expect with this beer because Watermelon can be very sweet and I don't particularly like really sweet or sugary beers. If I want a sweet drink I'd go grab a Coke. But this Watermelon beer I felt was pretty well balanced. The Watermelon was present on the taste buds but there wasn't a high level of sweetness associated with it. I felt it had more the actual fruit taste more than anything else which is a good thing! Definitely a lot of praise for using subtlety for what could have been a very sweet beer. And of course where would I be if I didn't buy some beer swag? I bought a totally awesome Roswell type alien shirt from the brewery merchandise that I liked a lot. Not only do I love sci fi but I enjoy all the stories and the aliens that are involved in Roswell which didn't give me a shred of hesitancy in purchasing the shirt from this brewery. read more

Stopped in after Giants opening day yesterday. I'm not a big beer drinker but my husband and friend are. So I'm sure they would give 4+ stars for the beer. Anyway I tried the pomegranate cider, it was pretty good. Had the calamari for appetizer it was good but the pieces were really small. My entree was the fish and chips.... It was 3 pretty good pieces of fish, fries and a small side spring mix salad.... The fish was kinda bland... the texture was just right but it didn't do much for me. I'll try the burger next time lol read more

- fast service - wrong orders - over priced Came here at noon on a Sunday before the giants game. Got seated fast and orders taken fast. Ordered a Mimosa, Beermosa, and Charcuterie board. The two mimosas came out quick however they gave two normal and forgot the Beermosa, when I told them they corrected it and accommodated the extra mimosa. They then again only gave us a beer and not the Beermosa. On the check they accommodated the $8 beer and not the $12 wrong mimosa. The charcuterie board was good but way too over priced for the quality/quantity. We ordered 2 mimosas and a charcuterie board and the price was $50. Way too overpriced for the quality in my opinion. read more

Came here after a Giants game for a beer and dinner before hitting the road. This didn't hit the mark. Ambience is cool and looks like a fun hang out for a pre-game beer.
