There are two words that come to mind when I come to liquid gold... quality and quantity. Quality because of the amazing assortment of beers they have, always, but to be honest that's less important. Quantity is whats key - it's not quantity of beers, It's quantity of kindness, hospitality and friendships you get from lg. whether it's gregarious Sam, kind Sebastian, or loving Peter and Melissa, you will enter the bar and exit with friends. Do yourself a favor and get over here! read more

Came here for sour beer, was not let down at all. Huge selection of bottles/cans & drafts as well. This is what a bar SHOULD look like if you're specializing in craft beer. Service was great, ambiance was cool also read more

A neighborhood treasure! Reasonably-priced beers and drinks and they sell some for you to take home! I like that they have local brews and cool local sports memorabilia decor. Great service and vibes--clientele is a pretty diverse motley crew--and there's quite a few TVs. read more

Liquid Gold - Beer Bar Near Me - San Francisco, California

Great beer bar I sought out while in SF on business, not a far walk from Union Square at all. Surprisingly, my other options for legit craft beer one afternoon were slim so I decided to walk the 15 minutes to get here and it was well worth it. They had a lot of great options on tap and even more in cans/bottles in the fridge at the back. Prices were fair, service was great; the nice bearded chat served up the suds promptly and even gave me a free bowl of chips which was a really nice touch, and smart! Gets the customers more thirsty! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

This place had ALOT of great beers on tap. You could build you own flight or just get a beer of various sizes. It was dog friendly which was fun to see the sweet pups visiting. The service was fast and friendly and patient as I built my flight. I really enjoyed the beer and the vibes and I would definitely come back to try more brews! read more

I love stopping by Liquid Gold. They always have a huge selection of great beer so I'm usually finding something delicious. Plus a huge selection of beers in the fridge to take home. I almost always grab a few to take home because of their collection of sours, ales and even some great NA ones. Plus they are super dog friendly with treats so its always nice to pop by after work, or make a nice long walk out of it! read more

What an awesome place! 5 Gold Stars for Liquid Gold! Great craft beers on tap, a bottle (cans too) shop as well. There were also some wine choices. This is always on my list for my San Francisco trips! read more

Liquid Gold - Liquid Gold - Beer Bar Near Me - San Francisco, California

I dropped by this afternoon to check out their beer selection and it was hella big. They had the freezer section towards the back that had a good selection of sours, dark, and stouts to choose from. Their Untappd page is updated too so you can look at what they have before hand. I picked 2 different sours and bought them to go. They also got some TVs inside that were playing sports if you decided to sit down and and a drink. I was sad when City Beer Store closed down since they have a great beer bottle selection but Liquid Gold is a perfect go-to if you're a beer nerd like me. read more

Really awesome little beer bar in the neighbourhood that has a really nice variety of rotating craft beers, as well as snacks, four packs, and locals. Service is great, people are friendly and there's the occasional dog to pet! I love this place, definitely one of our more regular spots when we're feeling up to going out! read more

Pretty good beer spot for a quick drink. Wish they served food. They do have bags of chips to purchase.but it would be nice to have some wings with your beer. read more

Rather you are a local or from out of town, this is a casual place to hang out with friends and get a cold beer. They have plenty of selections to satisfy any taste preference. The fun part is I found out that pet is allowed. read more

Nice bar with a lot of beers, the people are also really friendly. I had a great time.

Liquid Gold is a perfect name for this beer spot. How else can you describe the golden elixir's on tap? If you are a beer person, you will leave this place happy. And I would't say you have to be a certain kind of beer person (that is, ipa, sour, etc.) Different styles are fairly well represented across many excellent local craft breweries. I really like how LG offers a very small pour option for most beers, which allows me to try a lot more without both the cost and getting too toasty. But I believe they also offer growler options, which is super convenient (especially if you're close by, which alas I am not.) Also, they have a pretty big cooler with cans, so if you need more options to bring home you're very covered. Finally, they don't serve food but I have brought snacks, etc. inside (Nourish cafe is just a few doors down, hint hint.) Enjoy a sandwich in a low-key, relaxing joint, with plenty of beer to keep your thirst quenched. read more

Great beer selection, comfortable environment, and conveniently located near a hotel I stay at on Van Ness when in town four times a year. I haven't found a better beer bar in SF. read more

When it comes to a craft beer bar, Liquid Gold checks all the boxes for me! I've been coming here for years, and this past weekend was my first time since COVID hit, and it was amazing to enjoy a nice cold sour beer inside! What'll you notice right away is their enormous selection of draft and bottle/canned beer. On draft you'll have at least 20+ options and a lot of them rotate, so coming in everytime is like a new experience! All their beer options on the TVs above the screens and what I love most is that they have clear descriptions and pricing for each one. My go-to if I'm with a group is to go for the flights, because I'm a variety type of guy. My latest trip was the first time I was able to trying an Alvarado street brewing sour beer, and it was easily the best tasting sour I've had ever. I believe it was called the Howitz, which is a passionfruit, orange & guava kettle sour ale. It was so tasty, I had to get two! Another reason I love this place, it's dog friendly! They have tables outside, but they even let me bring my pup inside while I sipped on my beer. If you find yourself on Polk St. this is just a short walk from the main area. Highly recommend this spot for any beer lovers out there! read more

18$ for a pint of hazy? Per the website menu is this right? Seems a bit much with so many good bars I would have to pass on this

Great craft bar with wonderful atmosphere and selection. I love the 5oz pours - allow you to try much of the menu. And the take home selection was amazing read more

How did I not know this place existed??? We came here on a whim after reading solid reviews for the place on Yelp, and are we glad we decided to check them out! Double Howzit Punch from Alvarado street, yes please! What an amazingly balanced 8% POG sour. The Turbo Dust hazy from Bare Bottle, it was smooth and not overly bitter, with a great dry hopped flavor punch. We also tried the Barrel roll #3 from Hanger 24 and it was a little sweet for my taste, but good flavor otherwise. Great attentive bartenders and a cool vibe and a couple screens playing local sports games. Be sure to stop in if you're in the area! read more

Liquid Gold - Beer Bar Near Me - San Francisco, California

casual place with a great selection of Beers. I am a fan of Sour beers, and it can be difficult at times to find a place with a good selection. Liquid Gold ALWAYS has a handful of selections of Sours on tap, in addition to a large variety of others. If there isn't something you want that is on tap, the fridge has a large selection of local and not so local brews that they will sell and pour for you. its small and cozy. I stop by often for a quick drink after work, or to pick up a nice selection if i am having a get together. highly recommended for brew lovers! also, they are okay with outside food, so we typically get some Chinese or Thai from around the corner and eat here after we've had a few drinks and are feeling the munchies. bench and sofa in the back are a nice place for board/card games or finishing up work. read more

If you're looking for an awesome craft beer selection, including the famous Pliny the Elder, go see Sam here! Ask for a bowl of chips with your beer on the house! Also, be careful when grabbing for bottles on the wire rack in the coolers. Trust me, they're like dominoes! Download the Untappd app if you don't know what you want. read more

Liquid Gold - Pliny the Elder and free potato chips! - Beer Bar Near Me - San Francisco, California

Been here a few times now and I love the vibe! Great selection of craft beers on tap as well as for to-go. Bartenders are always friendly as well. I've been here for sf beer week and love the breweries they manage to showcase. You can choose between 5oz tasters or a full pour. If you're a big craft beer fan, definitely check out the cans you can purchase as there is a wide variety. It's across the street from Trader Joe's and while it's not the most spacious, I love how there's a lot of light that comes in from outside and there's an area for a few big groups to chill. They also don't serve food here. Definitely will be back! read more

Random spot that we decided to stop in at for a small taster. Overall, I thought the place was pretty cool. Liquid Gold has a great beer selection. We did not stay here long, but the ambience was nice. Everyone we met was friendly. We sat outside for a little bit before moving on to the next spot. If you like beer, I'd say Liquid Gold is definitely worth checking out. Prices are slightly elevated, but so is the quality. read more

Great little beer bar and prices were reasonable considering it's SF. Carrie's a variety of tap beers with a knowledgeable staff

Best tap room in SF. Been going there for years and they always have new beers from top breweries -- including a few to-go fridges. They keep pace with new breweries so you can trust the selection always represents the latest and greatest. read more

For all my San Jose yelpers, Liquid Gold in SF is the equivalent to ISO beers or Market Beer Shop. Found this spot after a morning of hiking. We were looking to kick back and enjoy some beers after eating, and Liquid Gold did just that for us. The parking situation isn't ideal since it's located on a busy big street, so do your best to find street parking nearby on the cross street or a few blocks away...or you can always take public transportation or Lyft! The beer selection is very diverse and expansive. We both went with the tasters because there were too many beers for us to take our picks in pints. There are a bit of everything--barrel-aged, sours, stouts, pilsners, New England ales--you name it they practically had it! Our beertender was going solo that afternoon, but service was still courteous and he got the job done. Thanks good sir. I enjoyed how he was not judgmental about the selection of my beers, and he so graciously allowed me to sample the beers I were unsure about before committing to some tasters. Quality man, thank you! Ambiance has got a cool and relaxed lounge vibe without the loud and trashy music. There's a edgy rocker spirit to Liquid Gold, probably because of the cool overhead gold lamps and the suave bar stools. There are other seating arrangements at the entryway and one bigger table at the end of the bar near the restroom. There is also a fridge stocked full of beers if you're in the mood to take some solid burrs home after a visit in this taproom. 100% will highly recommend coming here for beer snobs and newbs. read more

Incredible selection and even better staff. With so many breweries and bars in the Bay Area this place is still in my regular rotation of places to frequent. This is the only beer bar that not only offers beer flights but lets you pick your beers in the flight - extremely rare these days. Check out their event calendar for special events around the year including anniversary party weekend of 10/19. read more

Great spot for an even better selection of beer. This place is now my to-go spot for beer. Love the vibe here and everyone that works here! Everyone always has a smile on their face.

Pretty cool :) They also have a huge selection of beer to go if you don't want to drink there :) read more

Liquid Gold - Favorite seat in the bar - Beer Bar Near Me - San Francisco, California

Good beer up the hill! A friend suggested we meet at Liquid Gold for a beer or two. Coming from the Financial District side, I was a bit pissed about the fact that I had to climb up the hill to get there, but once I got there my mood changed quickly. The place is small, but inviting. The bar is a good size and the menu gives you plenty of options. I tried Kern River's Hop Nookie just because it said "Triple IPA" under it! Well, I can't say if I enjoyed it 3 times more than other IPAs, but it sure was good and felt good going down too! After the 11% alcohol buzz, I decided I need to take it easy for my second round and Pine Street's Green Thumb which is a Rosemary pale ale and only 5%! Good decision! Another good beer! If you are ever walking that way and feel like a brew, stop for one; you won't be sorry you did :-) read more
