    Sausage pizza
    Ray N.

    I think this used to be Sunset Brewing Company, and I like what they've done with the space. It remains very airy and spacious, as well as surprisingly bright for being in the foggy sunset. We came for lunch and got the roasted cauliflower with romesco sauce, almond slivers, and raisins. It was really nice: the romesco sauce was flavorful and the cauliflower was perfectly roasted. We also got the sausage pizza: the crust was deliciously crispy, and I enjoyed the arugula that went with the sausage. My friend got 2 half pint beers: they were really well priced and I liked that we could try a few different beers.

    I wish I liked this place more as I been wanting to try for a while. We ordered drinks, pepperoni mushroom pizza, flat iron steak, and calamari. Starting with the calamari, it was nicely breaded and cooked well, though the pieces weren't very meaty. It would have benefited from more seasoning to bring out flavor, especially at the $18 price point. The flat iron steak was ordered medium rare but some pieces looked like it came out closer to medium. It was still enjoyable overall, just not quite at the doneness we expected. The chimichurri leaned more oily than herb-forward, and while the sides were fine, they could have used a bit more flavor. The potatoes had a sweetness which I was not a fan of and confused about. For the pizza, I was expecting a thicker, doughier crust based on what I saw at other tables, but the pepperoni mushroom pizza we received was more of a thin, flatbread-style base. The edges were quite crisp, and it ended up not being what I had in mind. It also took the longest to come out. It honestly reminded me of school lunch pizza which for $21 really disappointing. The dough also lacked flavor and texture threw me off. Definitely least favorite item. I wish they put on the menu that base would be different than the other pizzas. The drinks we got were alright nothing that stood out. The beer that my husband ordered was supposed to have like flavors of papaya and guava, while it smelled like guava it really just tasted like a beer no fruity essence present. My drink was the San Francisco punch and just kinda tasted like pineapple alcohol. Their drinks menu wasn't bad, but just nothing really caught my eye as someone who prefers sweeter drinks.

    Nice restaurant at San Francisco sunset area. We came during late lunch time for brunch after we made reservation before. The restaurant was not full when we arrived. It was a nice restaurant with nicely decorated and full bar service. We ordered couple dishes: corn fritter , pork riblet, flat bread, harvest pork harsh , and scrambled egg. All are yummy. The flat bread is unique as the pork riblets. Corn is good too. The service was good and I was satisfied with the dishes. I like the seating and the vibe and the interior.

    My daughter and my Dad accompanied me to Fifty Vara for a mid day lunch. It's rare to see my Dad as often as I'd like so we were hoping for an outstanding experience. Unfortunately, it fell flat. The beer was good, and my daughter's cocktail was also good. The food was bland. The buffalo wings were the spiciest I've ever tried and weren't enjoyable for me, however, my Dad didn't mind the sauce. We ordered a small appetizer that we sent back because the crème sauce had no sodium, and their homemade chips were extremely oily. My Dad had a burger that was just "OK". I expected more from this restaurant because of the reviews and the place itself was slow. If I go back, it will be solely for drinks.

    I went here with family for lunch. We had a reservation and were seated quickly, the restaurant wasn't too busy on a Saturday morning. The ambiance of the restaurant was nice and welcoming. I liked the aesthetic of the restaurant which was filled with greenery and had an industrial vibe. We ordered the crispy calamari, the sunrise sando, the vara burger, and the little gem caesar. The food was good, but nothing memorable. Overall, it was nice experience, but I wouldn't be rushing back.

    Stopped by for brunch/lunch here for the first time and the biggest highlight was the space itself. Super aesthetic, lots of plants, and overall a really good-looking restaurant. Definitely a cute spot if you're into vibes and photos. Food was fine. Nothing bad, but nothing particularly memorable either. We ordered a breakfast sandwich with potatoes, a burger with fries, Caesar salad, and calamari, and the total came out to about $88. Portion sizes were good! The burger was ordered medium but came out closer to medium well, which was a little disappointing but fine overall, wasn't worth making a fuss about. We also asked if the burger could be cut and were told no, which is again, fine, but a little disappointing. Everything else was decent, just didn't really stand out in a city with so many restaurant options. Service was fine, nothing over the top. Overall, nice atmosphere but the food didn't quite live up to the hype. Might be worth stopping by once for the ambiance, but probably not a spot I'd rush back to for the food alone.

    Got the fried chicken burger and the portions was quite big, but the burger as a whole lack flavors.... However the fried chicken itself was great. The service was attentive even when it was almost a full house for big game night

    Very helpful when we don't have any reservations. The restaurant was full house. After calling the restaurant She was able to seat us right away within 15mins. We live near by. The food was great. The place feels really nice with big tv screens for sports. Thanks for your great work!

    Good service, good food! Came with my family on a Sunday afternoon for brunch and was seated right away. They were quick to accommodate little toddler and was so friendly. Loved the food and drinks, will be back to try more!

    Blistered Tomato Flatbread ($13)
    Megan W.

    Went during Happy Hour with a girlfriend of mine. We ordered Crispy Calamari ($18), Blistered Tomato Flatbread ($13), a Tiny Tini ($6) and a Sangria Spritz ($9). Both dishes were delicious and a great sizable portion for us to share. The calamari was crispy, with a light crunchy batter and not oily at all. The interior space was open with huge windows that let in natural lighting and plenty of seating. The staff were also very nice and always checked in on how we were doing.

    Mushroom flatbread
    Amber G.

    This restaurant would be good for large parties and serves good standard American food. The burger was quite good and so was their vara brew lager. The mushroom flatbread had quite a bit of caramelized onions that took over the flavor, and was too sweet for our taste. I wouldn't say I'd go out of my way to dine here, but there's plenty of parking in the area and would be good to host a group of friends

    Herb and garlic fries
    Franchesca L.

    I was able to make a same day reservation at Fifty Vara. We walked in and were seated immediately. We went on a Sunday and the restaurant did get pretty full later in the night, so I would recommend going early! Staff were also very nice and were helpful with the menu. We ordered the herb and garlic fries and the sausage flatbread. Both were decently sized and perfect for sharing! I will definitely be back to try other items!

    Nice to find a place on this on Noriega. Well thought out reimagined garage is now pretty hip spot. It was a bit brisk in there in the evening though. Menu had a nice variety of selections We had a pork chop, flat bread, pasta and a ceasar salad on the table. All were pretty good Service was good

This creative brewmaster, Justin Boehle, has lots of unique, tasty beers on the menu. I'm a lover of sour beers and this spot had two on tap. I tasted the Revenge of the Nerds sour, 7.5% ABV, with mixed kettle fermentation with Nerds candy. It was sour, sweet and warranted a 13 ounce pour for $11. They put crushed Nerds candy on the rim for an extra sour kick. This thing had a fruity kick and lots of punch. I followed the sour up with a 13 ounce pour of the Flanders-style ale for $18. This dark brown, 8% ABV ale, was aged in French Burgundy barrels. It had a very rich whisky burn and lots of full mouthfeel. A lovely ale for sipping.

There is this easy, open energy to the place, especially being right there in Ghirardelli Square, where you can bounce between inside and outside and never feel stuck in one vibe. The beer lineup is solid across the board, the kind where everyone at the table finds something they are into without overthinking it. Crisp lagers, a few bolder options, all brewed in-house and actually worth coming back for. The food holds its own too. Elevated but still approachable, perfect for sharing or just settling in with something satisfying while you sip. What keeps us going back is how versatile it is. It can be a quick stop or it can turn into a whole afternoon without trying. It feels just as right bringing out-of-town friends as it does showing up on a whim. Some places try to be everything and miss. This one quietly pulls it off.

After our group's outing, we were on the hunt for a nearby spot to chill before lunch, so we came here! We came on Easter, so it wasn't as busy as other weekends. They have two floors, bar seating, plus outdoor seating. Being a bigger group, we chose to go upstairs. When it's not busy, it's quite spacious -- pool table, games, and a good amount of seating. You can order at the bar or use the self-service QR code. The staff helping us were all kind and courteous! Everyone got a variety of food to share and drinks to consume. Nachos, French Fries, Tater Tots, and Wings were among the items ordered. The Tater Tots were my personal fave. I love a new crispy outside, and the tots and fries were just that! Perfect food to snack on paired with drinks. Richmond Republic Draught House is a must if you live in or are in Richmond, enjoy bar bites, drinks, and catching games. They have a parklet, too. Find them off Clement St. with street parking and residential nearby. I'll be back!

We ordered some fries, tater tots, chicken wings and nachos. I tried all except the nachos because it had some spice in it. Everything was delicious! The fries were crispy and perfectly salted. The tots were a crispy, golden-brown nugget of potato perfection. We were also given a variety of sauces but I was fine with ranch. Yummy chicken wings too!
