I was in the area and needed something to eat quickly. The area is gated in and you have to show your ID to be let in. There is indoor and outdoor seating and when I went it was pretty crowded. There was a lot of groups celebrating events. It was a nice night and sat outside. I ordered their fish tacos. Food came out really quickly. The tacos were really good, the fish was cooked to a crisp perfection. I wasn't here for long but the ambiance was cool, service was friendly. Would come back for their fish tacos if ever I was in the area again. Side note: upon reading the reviews many people said that children were not allowed. I don't know if this is based on hours or on the security guard that checks ID, but while I was there I saw three infants in the outside eating area. Just an FYI if you come here with a small child and are trying to get in. read more

Was here on a Saturday night for a birthday party. The bar was very busy around 8-9pm so I had to wait a bit to be able to flag down the bartender but it died down closer to 10pm or so. I'm not a big drinker but I loved the guava cider! It had real guava flavor and was very tasty and refreshing. Southern Pacific is huge, with indoor and outdoor seating. Great spot to hangout with friends! read more

Came here after training. I had to show my ID at the door at 4pm. That was so weird to me honestly. The place itself has outdoor and indoor seating. Also, there is a 2nd floor, I do not know if it is open to the public though. The bathroom has 2 stalls and you come out to wash your hands. I had a margarita and a shared Quesadilla. Both were pretty good. The only thing I did not like is that they could not give me a sugar rim. That would have been nice. Also, one of my fellow coworkers wanted a spicy margarita. We were both surprised when it came looking like a regular margarita. Where was the tajin rim and why did it not look spicy? read more

Stopped by Southern Pacific Brewing for some snacks and beer. I wasn't feeling too hungry so ended up ordering the onion rings and hazy IPA to drink. Onion rings were yummy and I liked the aioli on the side. They were definitely on the oiler side but I enjoyed the crispy batter and the house ketchup was nice as well. The space is wide and open which is great! Love the high ceilings which make the place a nice spot to hang out and not too loud even with a good amount of people inside. read more

I came here for a special private event talk and it was my first time here. Hidden on quiet Treat street on a Tuesday night, I saw green benches outside on side walk, a sign and opening of gate door and I ventured in. Wow this is a warehouse turned into a bar and has been here over 20 years. Special event had some catered food like Fries with Aleppo sauce Cobb salad Cesar salad Southwest salad Brussels Sprouts with apricot and orange glaze Chips & Guac housemade guac, chips, jalapeños Nice clean well lighted place upstairs you can rent out for special lecture event but you will be competing with the warehouse industrial fab on ceiling so bring a microphone . Over all a good venue. Food was good and my favorite was the Brussel sprouts and Cesar Salad. This venue is family-friendly. ​ Guests under 21 are permitted daily before 7pm. All minors must be accompanied by a guardian. Dogs are welcome outside on their patio. read more

I really enjoy Southern Pacific for happy hours because they have food and drink. They now have cocktails and wine in addition to their beer making it a great place for all drinkers. I got the Mexican lager and guava cocktail both were good and fairly priced. We shared the tray of nachos and it was massive and delicious. Definitely a show stopper. We also enjoyed the fried pretzel,and lemon pepper wings. I wish the fish and chips had more flavor because the batter is done well, could use maybe a flaky salt. The brussel sprouts and burger were solid. The only thing that really didn't work was the black bean burger. It was just a really dense puck of black beans. We happened to be there on their second ever trivia night and we had a lot of fun. Overall a beautiful space for large groups with nice staff. read more

Came by for a pop-up crawfish boil but ordered some drinks directly from the brewery. Didn't know this place existed as it was tucked away in the Mission. Cute outdoor patio space with a large warehouse style interior. ID checked upon coming in, then its the front, fenced in patio, and then the taproom further in. Large bar along the right side that you can just go up to and order. They also sell cocktails. - hazy IPA - solid hazy that was enjoyable to drink. Ordered two of them - guava frozen cocktail - didn't really taste the guava but the drink was strong and still refreshing read more

I went to Southern Pacific brewing for a birthday party and it was super fun! They have a gorgeous brewery with an outdoor space with lots of benches and tables. I believe getting the tables is first come first serve rather than reservations. They have amazing party trays, including this loaded, nacho tray that was amazing. The prices are super good and decent price prices for sure. I highly recommend southern Pacific growing, especially for a large group! We also brought a cake and they were okay with that. I highly recommend their chicken wings and their fries are awesome too especially as the party tray. read more

Large brewery great for large groups with two levels and an outdoor space. They have light bites, beer on tap, cocktails and even Jell-O shots. I tried the Tommy Margarita, mezcal cocktail (on the sweeter side, a bit too sweet for me) and manhattan and enjoyed the drinks. Ceilings are high but sound is centralized and it gets loud, especially when they host large events. I enjoyed the indoor trees but note the leaves do shed and if you are tall you might bump your head on the branches :) read more

This is my 1st stop on my personal brewery tour. I tried their hef beer. It was good. Kinda a little to lemony for me. But it was refreshing. We also got their onion rings and they were delicious.

Here for a private event. Beautiful warehouse space with a private garden patio in the front. Bathrooms have a public shared sink area. The food was good - tacos, wings, sliders. I don't drink beer often and there weren't descriptions of the tastes to help me remember what I like. I ordered one and it was sour and sharp. I put it down after a few sips. I ordered a rosé instead. It wasn't the proper temperature and was served in a beer glass. Lastly I ordered a seltzer. Bar staff were friendly but very busy. Catering/clean up staff were a little rude. In fairness guests were mingling in the walkway they needed to use and setting things down on the counter they had deemed their own but it wasn't clear where else people could be without being in the way. read more

I really liked this place this is my 4th time coming and I like the food and that there's alot of space to watch the world cup. The beer is awesome and their mcheladas are fantastic better than most places I love micheladas and I appreciate a good house mix. read more

Cool spot we popped into! The bar is inside a huge open warehouse-style building with real trees growing through the floor, tons of natural light, high ceilings, and a really cool indoor/outdoor vibe. Great place to grab a drink and hang out. We already had dinner plans somewhere else, so didn't order food, but everything looked and smelled amazing as they were running plates out - especially the garlic fries and nachos! We could smell the garlic from across the bar (so good). We just had a Hazy IPA, which was great. Would definitely come back and try the food next time. read more

Pretty good place to meet up with friends. Parking is tough, but after you secure a space you'll be rewarded with whatever you want to drink and super tasty snacks (sharing size fries, nachos, etc) or more substantial pub style food if you want a meal. There's a nice secluded patio in front, and a big industrialist warehouse space inside. Service is very friendly as well. What more could you want? read more

What a neat and hip place to hang out! Chill vibes. We were here for a function; perfect for a gigantic party or several at the same time. They have so much space. They even have an indoor elevated platform for parties too! The drinks and fries were good too. I recommend the cider and the sage fries. The people there working were also very nice and answered questions. Chill vibes. It is tucked away in The Mission, and parking looked like a pain. Many people just got rideshare over. read more

Southern Pacific Brewing - Non alcoholic margarita - Breweries Near Me - San Francisco, California

Southern Pacific Brewing has been one of those go-to spots in SF that ends up woven into your personal history without you realizing it. I used to come here all the time--company happy hours, friends' birthdays, going-away parties--and it never failed to deliver exactly the kind of atmosphere you want for a gathering. The space itself is a standout: big, open, and full of natural light, with a great vibe that feels energetic but never overwhelming. The outdoor seating is a major draw, especially on rare sunny SF afternoons when everyone collectively remembers what warmth feels like. The location is super convenient too, which makes it easy to use as a meetup point for all kinds of groups. The food is solid every time, and the drinks are consistently on point. You can tell this place was designed with socializing in mind--it just works, whether you're catching up with one friend or rolling in with a crowd. If there's one caveat, it's the occasional overcrowded and slightly pretentious SF energy that creeps in during peak hours. But honestly, that's just the neighborhood, not the brewery. SPB handles the volume impressively well, and the staff keeps things moving without losing the friendly edge. It's also a fantastic venue for larger events. The layout comfortably absorbs big groups without feeling chaotic, which is why it became a favorite for all those work and friend gatherings over the years. In short: Southern Pacific Brewing is a place that becomes part of your routine--and your memories--because it consistently provides a fun, spacious, and welcoming experience. A true SF staple for those in the Mission/Portrero area. read more

Ironically, for a brewery, the worst thing to get here is any of their house brewed beer. I learned this the hard way after trying a couple of different house brewed beers on various occasions throughout the years. Their beers either taste rancid or fall flat on flavor. Now, I play it safe and just order one of their guest beers instead. Now...onto the good. This place is spacious! There's outdoor seating and two levels of space inside. This means this place is perfect for a large gathering, whether you're celebrating a birthday or catching up with 20 of your closest friends. There's also food, cocktails, and non-alcoholic drinks here, so plenty of variety. read more

They got an ok selection of craft beer. Not my favorite brewery but...Theres an upstairs area and theyserve food. The main attraction for yours truly is Sazón Libre. That's when there's really life in this place. Or at least, my kinda crowd... otherwise it's pretty hipster in my opinion. read more

Stopped by here for a team happy hour after work. Tucked away in the corner of a small street in the Mission, this unassuming and very inconspicuous establishment from the outside really opens up into an open, 2 story bar on the inside that is well lit, ventilated, and offers a very fun vibe. We came on a Thurs evening, and this place was already popping even before 5pm. As expected for a brewery, they have a decent selection of tasty house beers to choose from. As well as a handful of tasty cocktails. Fairly mixed age crowd inside. Although it appeared that almost all were working professionals coming in as groups after work. read more

Typical brewery in an open warehouse space with ample indoor seating and outdoor seating on picnic tables beneath heat lamps. Quiet, out-of-the-way location in the Mission with modest prices during happy hour. They have a few more selections than just the beers that they brew, and they can make a cocktail, too. Pub fare if you're hungry. Been many times (always outdoors), but sat inside last night. We wanted to join two large tables in the back to accommodate our large group, but were prohibited from doing so, even though the tables weren't otherwise being used. Furthermore, it seemed to irritate the servers when, instead of moving the tables, we took chairs from the other table. ‍ read more

Southern Pacific Brewing offers a solid selection of beers I'm especially a fan of their Hazy IPA and Pilsner, both packed with flavor. The service is excellent staff are friendly and attentive without being overbearing. The venue itself is spacious, with both top and bottom floor seating, making it a great spot for groups or just relaxing with a pint. Whether you're here for the drinks or the laid back vibe, it's definitely worth a visit. read more

Aside from the ambiance, DJ, n libations, the BEST bread pudding! Ill be coming back just for dessert!

The importance and necessity of offering samples of draft beer before making people purchase it is the hill I will die on. That being said, and if not clear by rating, Southern Pacific does not offer beer samples for beers on tap. Before I dive into my disappointment in the beer list, I will give it up for the space. There was plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, and both were nice areas. The outside patio consisted of picnic tables with plenty of tree coverage and the indoor area had plenty of natural light as well some trees, so it almost felt like you were outside. It was a really cool space and for that reason I would consider coming back...but for cocktails. Onto the beer, the list was rather underwhelming to this heavy and non-traditional beer lover. The menu didn't have a single Hazy, double, or triple IPA, no sours, no stouts, and no porters. A beer similar to a sour was recommended to me, without being able to sample it I was a bit skeptical of diving in. Luckily someone in my group ordered it and gave me a taste....I ended up getting a cocktail. Decided on the Tin Lizard and was very pleased with it. It was nice and refreshing and was filled to the brim. Had to sip it down a bit in order to be able to walk back to the table with it. Also ordered a side of fries with ranch and dill mayo for the table. Fries were good, dill mayo was pretty bland and was left fairly untouched by most. read more

I LOVE southern pacific. I've been celebrating my birthday here for years and it's the best experience. Beautiful, well-designed brewery with tons of natural light and an indoor / outdoor layout. Really convenient for large parties. You can order a variety of food and drinks from the bar or through QR codes at your tables. Service is excellent, food has always been solid, and they have a really wide variety of drink options - from beer to wine to cocktails. 10/10 experience. read more

We stumbled upon this place because we were looking for something to do to pass time. We went here over Valentine's Day weekend on Saturday around 5pm and there was no wait! The place did get a bit crowded though. This place is basically like a sports bar and they have TWO floors to dine in with food, drinks, and TVs to watch. We had to find a table to seat ourself and order from the QR code on the table. I noticed that not every table has a QR code, so that made it a little confusing. Anyways, we ordered the Chicken Quesadilla and 2 Tacos (Pork). The chicken quesadilla was very stuffed and had a hint of salsa flavor in it. I have a low spice tolerance, so that quesadilla got a little too spicy for me. The tacos were good too, but I'm usually more of either a birria taco or a normal crunchy taco person, but I did like how loaded these tacos here were. It also tasted a little plain and I felt like I had to drench it with sauce for it to have some flavor. I'd recommend this place! They have a lot of drinks here and other food options which might be better than the ones we ordered. It can be a fun place to watch sports too because I noticed they have some large flat screen TVs on the wall. read more

Really nice brewery (not the best location) but once you get inside you forget where you are! It's huge, with lots of big tables so it's a perfect place for friends hang out. You can sit inside or outside, and for the inside, there is a small upstairs space as well with a bar (although the bar was not open the night I was there). Overall a big selection of beers for all you beer lovers, and plenty of curated cocktail selection as well for the cocktail lovers As for food, I found the nachos and tacos very delicious You order at the bar / food counter and servers bring food to you I came for a large group event and we pre paid a tab and it was a very good experience for everyone read more

A great spot with quality drinks and good food! We've come here on many weekend days and always a good vibe. Sometimes there is live music and other events going on. It is very spacious and has a small patio. We've tried a variety of their food and everything is really good. Some stand outs are the Brussels sprouts, fries, tacos and nachos. Great variety of food choices to share with friends. My go to is their margaritas, it's a pretty good deal for a pitcher. It's a chill spot to hang out and enjoy some good drinks and food! read more

Very cool space to gather. Drinks aren't watered down. Food is served fast and fresh. Service is ok. My bartender was upbeat, polite, and patient. Most of the servers I interacted with were on the quieter non-interactive side. One waitress made a snarky comment that I took exception to. Food wise, the French fries are shareable and garlicky! The Brussels Sprouts were good. The chicken wings I'd give 4/5 stars. I'd recommend having the sauce infused with the wings as opposed to on the side to get the full flavor profile. My protein-style burger was great but expensive ($22) once I added in the extras (egg, bacon, avocado). Parking can be a tiny issue (street parking) and there is a homeless encampment across the street from the venue (as of 11.5.23). I like that they offer half pours of beer. Bookmark this watering hole - brewery vibes, plus libations, comfort food, and TVs! Rare but essential combination! Cheers! read more

I wanted some friends in SFO and they suggested we meet at southern pacific brewing. I had never been to a brewery in the city so was not sure what to expect. First things first, parking is always a pain in the city so I was a little anxious but there is a lot of street parking within walking distance and I found a spot about 200m away. This place is a hidden gem, they have a lot of seating place, the beer was great and the food options were quite decent. I got the Pale ale and the brussels sprout with cheese. We also got the sage fries which were good, although the mango sour wasn't particularly good. If I have another occasion to meet folks in the city, I am coming back here if possible. read more

A classic SF Mission brewery! This place has everything you need for a great night out. One of the standout features is that you can order whole pitchers of beer, which is perfect for sharing with friends. The beer selection is solid, with a variety of options to satisfy different tastes. The ambiance is lively and industrial, giving the space a unique charm. It's spacious and buzzing with energy, making it an ideal spot for both small gatherings and larger groups. Service is a breeze with their QR code delivery system. Just scan, order, and wait for your drinks to arrive at your table - super convenient and efficient. Parking is surprisingly easy in the area, which is a huge plus in San Francisco. And if you're up for more fun after, there are plenty of bars nearby to continue your night out. To summarize, Southern Pacific Brewery offers a fantastic experience with great beer, easy service, and a fun atmosphere. Highly recommend it for a laid-back, enjoyable evening in the city! read more

Had a blast at Southern Pacific Brewing last night! Southern Pacific Brewing is a huge warehouse dive bar/restaurant tucked in the Mission. My boyfriend and I went with our two other friends, and although we only got three appetizers + one dessert, we left very full. We split the Nacho Tray, the Buffalo Cauliflower, and the Brussels Sprouts. The Nacho Tray was HUGE and incredibly delicious. There was a perfect ratio of topping to chip, and made all of us very full. The Brussels Sprouts were also a standout, perfectly charred and with a slight sweet twinge, which was delicious. The only disappointment was the Buffalo Cauliflower, which was not breaded, and simply roasted cauliflower smothered in buffalo sauce. I would try to make that extra clear in the menu to avoid confusion. For dessert, we got the dark and white chocolate bread pudding which was also a bit of a disappointment. Instead of being smothered in dark and white chocolate, it was a regular, a bit dry, bread pudding with dark and white chocolate chips. Once again not well advertised, and would be fixed by even just including the picture of the dish on the ordering website, as most other dishes have pictures too. Other than that, the drinks were great, and we had a wonderful time. The venue was a little loud, and although the outside portion was quieter, it was harder to find a seat. I'd definitely come back to hang out with friends, especially if I'm bringing a big group of people together since they have so much space and it's easy to order and pay on your own. read more

Love this brewery, but best to go on "off hours" IMP, as due to the warehouse structure the sound / noise can become deafening. They do have outside seating, which is really nice with a covered patio and more out front of the restaurant. In the past I've always gone w/the Coconut Fried Chicken Wings, but today, I tried something else, the Fish & Chips. They were outstanding and the order not skimpy. 3 decent sized pieces of fish, fresh from the fryer and a nice mound of skinny fries. Fish was flaky, great coating and not too greasy. That all washed down w/one of their signature beers and I was a happy camper. I can't say enough nice things about this pub, the ambiance, the food and the service, all spot on. Though parking really is the pits. read more
