They had some splashes of Harry Potter elements, but nonetheless, a very fun and unique spot to check out! My bestie made reservation for us for lunch this past Sunday. I mentioned to her about this place, and she made the reservation online. We both had no idea that there was a drag show. We were both pleasantly surprised! It's definitely very much a bonus to the whole experience! Upon walking in, we were greeted by the hostess and gave a few options for seating. We chose the high table near the ramp. There were a few tables there with one being a big group that celebrating a birthday. They were all wearing wizard hats and those kiddie wands. How festive! I love the decor of the place!!! From ceiling to floor to walls, there's so much to check out! Our server was friendly and attentive. She brought out glasses, but forgot the water carafe. No big deal; we just had to ask her. She was busy with that big table and the other smaller tables. It seems she was the only server working during that time. We got the following items: 1. Wizard Brew (bestie's) - She liked it; reminds her of Butter Beer 2. Unicorn Blood - I liked it; good sparkling wine. I wish it had a flower garnish like from the pictures that I saw on here. 3. Espresso Martini (bestie's) - She liked this as well. This one get lit up with fire. 4. Three-Legged Fox - Very refreshing and tasted like garden-like. There was a liquid nitrogen smoke element which made it magical! Lol 5. Naughty Waffles - Pretty yummy & definitely naughty naughty. The maple syrup helps alot as the waffles were pretty dry. 6. Kapfoot's Fish & Chips - Omg! This was my absolute favorite! I love the fish and chips. These type of chips is a kind that I've never seen before. They were both crunchy but still soft and fluffy too. Perfect flavor balance for both the chips and fish. I would totally come back for this again! They had an area in the front where there's the MiMOsa not MimoSA sign with a few props such as Harry Potter's glasses, Sorting Hat, and a broom. They also had Hedwig too?! Lol.. The bathrooms were clean too. I would definitely return again! So fun!

The decorations and ambiance are exactly as I would expect, with a great hall ceiling in the dining area, and moving pictures. I especially loved the flooring looking like lava cracking through because at some point a staging flys overhead and sprays fire. Ambiance is a 5/5. We were seated immediately, waters brought out, and the waitress ready to serve us. She was very helpful and even offered to charge my phone so I could finish taking pictures and going live on social media. My cup was never empty, and everyone was quick with any questions we asked. Service was almost perfect 4.7/5. My cousin and I ordered the Love Potion, Unicorn blood, golden arancini, dragons breath, and a couple of wands . The wands were so much fun, though it feels like they're worth closer to $10 than $20, it still is worth enhancing your experience by getting one. The love potion was so sweet and strong 4.6/5. The unicorn blood was not what I expected, but it was shimmery and it grew on me, but still a 3.5/5. The Golden Snitches were very very rich, but perfect if you're drinking a lot and eating a little, very crispy outside and cheesy inside, and the tomato sauce was salty and savory 4.2/5. The dragons breath is super fun because you get a little nitrogen to freeze it and make it smoke. Regular flavor but effect was cool 3.5/5. Overall, I rate wizards and wands 4.2/5! Definitely check it out!!

There is a pizza spot in the Mission District which makes extra cheesy pizza in SF.

Dave Portnoy's of One Bite Pizza reviews during this years Super Bowl weekend called this place and Tony's Pizza the best pizza in San Francisco and in the San Francisco Bay Area region and ranked it Elite Tier and it's called Hi Hat. On a September Fall stroll also known as the San Francisco Summer on Valencia street I landed at Hi Hat. Inside it's part bar and part restaurant and the walls are filled with art work. I decided to get the Pepperoni pizza which was delicious with zesty sauce and had crunchy pepperoni. It was also cheesy with extra Parmesan on top and is becoming one my new favorite pizzas in SF. The crust wasn't flaky like some in SF and it had a fold. I washed it down with a STS Russian River which was smooth and a Cherry Limeade which was sour like some in SF and topped it off with a refreshing Shirley Temple with a cherry on top. The Mission District is becoming one of the best place to grab pizza in the city with Angie's , Corey's , The Pizza Place, Pink Onion, and Delfina's .

I wasn't flattered - it was a power play, not a flattering comment, and not a legit question by him. This angered the scrawny bouncer. He only let me in after I promised to be nice to the employees and customers. I went there to meet a friend and being a jerk was the furthest thing from my mind. Frankly, the guy was so awful and idiotic (a certain R word comes to mind but I can't use it to describe someone) that I cannot recommend this place to anyone. Some of the employees are on some lame power kick and while they could ALL make more money if they were civil, they are more intent on bullying new customers than on providing good service. I cannot imagine why the owner thinks this is a good business plan unless they have brain damage. About the worst customer service I've had in my entire 53 years.

Their beer is excellent, and I've heard nothing but great things about the place and people. We visited on a Sunday and met friends, who said it took a while to get a big table for us; it was surprisingly packed! It's a large industrial brewery, with the equipment chained off at the back. They make great use of the rest of the building with large tables, small tables, bar seating/standing room, plus an arcade area, outside seating area, and a few cozy living room style areas with stuffed furniture at the back. To the right on entry is the canned beer for takeout, to the left is their large bar and impressive tap list. We mostly get IPAs, so it was fun to try their other styles like rice lagers and a barleywine, everything was excellent. Their flights are huge, basically half size goblet pours in a six rack. Prices are reasonable for the well developed beer. They also had a food vendor outside, which we loved (see separate review). It's great to see a place equally rock great beer and a fun experience, I definitely look forward to returning sometime soon.

The stout was, to be polite, thin in texture. The aromas were present, but I winced with each taste of the lukewarm, harshly burnt flavor of acid. It didn't get better with each sip. For a moderately quiet Friday, I had to shout to people next to me due to the acoustics of the space. If you prefer traditional, additive-free brewing and full pints, there are far better options.

I'm so glad we did, it instantly lived up to the curiosity. The vibe here is exactly what you want from a brewery. It's unique, cool, and laid-back, with plenty of character and a strong sense of community. It feels welcoming whether you're popping in for one drink or planning to hang out for a while. The beer selection is great, with a nice variety of styles to choose from. Everything we tried was well crafted and enjoyable, making it easy to find something that fits your taste whether you like lighter beers or something a bit bolder. The space itself really adds to the experience. There's a relaxed energy that makes it a great place to meet friends, take a break while exploring the neighborhood, or just enjoy a good beer in a comfortable setting. Great atmosphere, good beer, and an all-around enjoyable experience. We'll definitely be back and are glad we finally stopped in.

Here's what we noticed: - Great vibe when we arrived...Busy with lots of people, but still some seating at the large number of picnic tables. There's also some outside patio seating in the front. - My wife and I split a flight of beer, which they provide in three 6 ounce pours. We especially liked their Hazy IPA, but the Oktoberfest was very good too. The bartender said their Kolsch is a bit of a classic, and we liked it too, but it wasn't a stand out to us. I later got a 10 ounce pour of their IPA and felt like that was the best of all. The best part is that you couldn't go wrong with any of the beers. - We got chips and guacamole from the taco truck guy located inside next to the bar...You pay by cash, and we got a big container of chips and a humongous couple of scoops of guac for $9. It was just what we needed to go with our beers! Bottom line: if we lived in the area, we'd go back to Standard Deviant for sure!

Providing a space that could accommodate a large group, offering a large variety of craft beer,…read moreserving hot food, and being conveniently located near a Bart station, The Beer Hall met all of the criteria for a recent get-together with my friends. From the outside, The Beer Hall almost blended into its surroundings - I almost walked right by if it hadn't been for the neon "The Beer Hall" sign. The taproom is quite spacious and could accommodate several large groups; however, the night of our visit was relatively quiet, perhaps due to the cold weather. Since there weren't any large tables, our group spread out over three smaller tables. As people came and went throughout the evening, it was convenient that we could each order our own beer and food at the bar. I selected an IPA from Fieldwork, a local favorite, and the beer stayed cold and refreshing throughout the evening. The food menu was limited, but I was craving something warm and salty to pair with my beer. For nearly $10, the fries weren't cheap, but the plate was piled high with some of the best fries I've had in a while. They were served piping-hot alongside two dipping sauces - aioli and ketchup. My friends sitting around me couldn't resist them either, and the mountain of fries disappeared in record time. The servers at the bar were very friendly and checked in on our group often. We spent a few hours enjoying our conversation and beer, overall having a fun, laid-back evening.

Staff is a little distracted/disorganized, but they eventually get to you; be patient, you're not coming here for a quick beer. Food is good, tasty and filled with carbs. That's how pub fare is supposed to be, so I mean that in the best of ways. tThe fires are are particularly great, just the right crispy outside and mushy inside. The burger-to-bun ratio was a little off in favor of buns, but flavor was there. Stepping through the door you wouldn't know the place was under new management if you didn't check the name on the door. Same decor, same layout, same everything except the logos/art. It's a nice place to swing by for a good beer. I hope they do well so that they expand the list of taps to a larger selection (they have the infrastructure, just not the kegs).

They have a full selection of liquor, plus a cocktail menu, and killer tap list of mostly local draft beer. I absolutely loved their glassware too! The bartender was very friendly; I failed to notice the tap list above the bar was different from the menu so I was glad that was pointed out for my second beer. Prices are reasonable for the experience of being here. The other clientele at the bar were also friendly, it has a neighborhood vibe but is welcoming to all.
