This was a nice place to watch the football game on a Sunday. It wasn't too crowded and there was plenty of seating inside and out for everyone. The inside is spacious and clean and the service is quick at the bar. I just ordered the Imperial Stout which I really liked! I found it nice and bold in flavor. I would definitely order it again! :) This bar was located in the Mission area and there is street parking around the area. The surrounding area is quiet and there's not too much going on around the bar. I would definitely come back with friends for a quiet catch up session with drinks. I liked the atmosphere and the fact that there were a few games for entertainment. Watching the game was also a fun highlight to the experience even though the SF team loss.
Baltimore ravens bar in the mission! Solid beer on tap and hot dogs for 3 dollars. There is also Mezcla on the outside grill making additional bites for purchase. The bbq pork grilled cheese definitely hit the spot. Very laid back vibes and allows dogs!
Been on my to-do list. Inviting roles doors opening on to a decent stretch of an otherwise somewhat sketchy part of the Mission -- it's sort of a bridge between the polished parts of Valencia street and the islands of culinary surprise doting the blocks between Mission and Potrero. Famous beer list. Heavy on IPA. Sigh. I'm over those. So I tried the English brown and opted to sit outside away from sports fans and in e nice breeze. All aspects were thoroughly enjoyable, especially the view fog rolling in over Portola drive in the distance.
We love a good brewery and when we arrived this looked fantastic- great music, fun vibe and communal tables with a great crowd of people. But for me- I was not a fan though granted some of these gripes are personal preferences. One - they had a food truck outside -and the smell I hate most in the world is cooking oil - and that is all I could smell! It was strong, pungent and nails on a chalkboard to me - I wanted to get the heck out of there before my clothes smelled like the bar!! It was just disgusting!! Second I love a good IPA - and these were not good IPAs at all! If you had put my beer in front of me and asked me to name the style - I would have not been able to identify this as an IPA - did not care for mine and left it and did not care for my husbands either! It was also really cold inside so for me just not a fun experience! Others seemed to be having a blast so it's definitely got fans just not me!!
TLDR: If you like beer and live anywhere in the City, this is a must check out at for either a) a stop when on a bar crawl in the Mission b) a stop on an SF brewery crawl OR c) a warm, sunny afternoon any given day of the year ("warm" and "sunny" being the key words here). If you love beer and are visiting the City, this is a must stop. Longer: From their website: "We are throwing fastballs here. High quality ingredients. A wide array of beer styles made true to form. We welcome all people to the brewery and look forward to serving you." One of the co-owners has been home brewing since the early aughts (maybe even late 90s*shrug*), and Standard Deviant as we know it opened their doors in 2016, and at the time they were one of ~20 craft breweries in the city. I drank plenty of PBR and Natty (light, and, regrettably, Ice) back back back in the college day, but toward the end (~2009) and until just recently (2023), removed beer and anything tangential to gluten from my diet. Now that I've figured out I have Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency and my boyfriend loves (Mexican and craft) beer, SD has been on the top of our list to check out. Boyfriend saw the nitro horchata at Brass Tax in Hayes Valley on Halloween, but we didn't have a chance to try it, so when a friend wanted to meet for a drink halfway between ours and theirs, Standard Deviant was it! We ventured here on a random Friday in early Nov. Inside wasn't wall to wall bodies, but there did seem to be some sorta office gathering that took up a handful of the long tables on one side of the room. Brace yourself for more of that over the holiday season. Even without that large group, there were plenty of groups inside, and one of ~6-10 outside. 14th isn't the best street for...enjoying the scenery, so don't expect sweeping city views. Also, don't be surprised if traffic is absolutely bonkers flying by you. If city sounds aren't for you, pull up a table inside. Or better yet, check out their Ferry Building location (once it opens... soon?) This is an ~order at the bar, open or close your tab, go on your way~ typa establishment. No exaggeration on their "wide array of beer styles made true to form" statement. Boyfriwnd sampled the nitro horchata to ensure the flavor profile was good enough to consume in a large quantity. I ended up getting a flight of IPAs because I generally like them (esp Hazy IPAs), thought it'd be fun to compare / contrast, and def get analysis paralysis when considering so many options. Good thing Boyfriend also likes IPAs, because even the Hazy was not my cup of tea. Oops. Another good thing: I really love the nitro horchata! So we ended up switching and we were both happy campers. I'm tempted to get a whole jug of the nitro horchata... but there's no way I'd drink it in time for it to not get flat. Once thing that would have helped me; one of those lil wooden paddle flight holder thingamabobs + somewhere to write which glass is which. I'm a visual learner, so telling me the info goes in one ear and out the other (LOL). I guess it's a good thing I didn't like any of the beers + we know well enough they darker the IPA, the higher the alc content, and could deduce which was which. We noticed there was someone selling tacos(?) inside+to the right of the bar. IIRC, 2 basic tacos out of a hot plate for $10. We hadn't eaten, but opted for waiting to grab fresherish, hot food at our next stop. I need to find out when they expect to stop brewing the nitro horchata and try to get back for another pint before I lose the chance!
Looking for a variety of alcoholic contents in your beer? From less than 4% to double-digit alcohol contents - Standard Deviant has it all! On top of this, nice/clean bathrooms, friendly staff, dog friendly, indoor/ outdoor seatings. Friendly customers..oh my.. what more can you ask for?? Bring your own food? Yes, check! Tacos available in weekends? Yes, check again! Standard deviant checks all the boxes! We will be back...again and again and again.. see you there!
In my old neighborhood of the Mission is a bit different from other parts and other sides within the Mission District in San Francisco. On 14th street within a block away on each side of Mission street there were some movies filmed like the classic movie" 48 Hrs " with the Woodward alley scene and the movie" Blue Jasmine" in the apartment scenes on South Van Ness and along with other movies shot nearby. The neighborhood was quite the street cinema in different genres of everyday life with many different soundtracks. One place to congregate and grab a drink today on 14th street is the Standard Deviant Brewing. This place has lots of seating and is a good spot to grab a drink and hangout and watch a game with lots of televisions or play drinking games ( with board games). This is not officially a sports bar but has the environment and the space for almost any occasion . I came here for a private launch party event. Standard Deviant Brewing offers a variety of beers which they brew in house with big brewery tanks in the back of the bar. Since October is almost over I decided to try their Oktoberfest beer which had a smooth taste. They also have Barrel aged beer like the Nitro Bourbon Stout and the Wine Farmhouse Saison . My old neighborhood always had flavor with the drink, food and people bringing San Francisco a different ingredient The Mission is different all around inside and outside the standard deviant
Really dig this brewery in the Mission. They def nailed it on the vibes and welcoming all types of people. Beer was really solid, had 3 different beers and was really diggin them all. Clean bathrooms, clean location and happy staff. That means a lot!
After exploring the Valencia area and having dinner, I rushed to get to try Standard Deviant Brewing before they closed. Thankfully right off the bat I could tell I was going to love the place. There were a group of guys blocking the entrance, I asked what was going on and they said an incident happened and they were making sure another guy didn't come back. Everyone including them was super welcoming and nice that evening, including the bartender Adrianna. I stood at the wood bar (the place is a tree and target theme) and ordered a couple beers. The place was welcoming and cozy with soft twinkle lights yet has high ceilings. The decor is mostly pop culture. The view behind the bar is the brewery itself. They have a lot of canned selections to go and you can make your own 6 pack. I was thankful once I was there I was not rushed to leave, she stayed open for everyone still enjoying the beer. I had a flight and tried all the lighter styles. A group of guys next to me bought a round of kolsch for everyone in mini stanges, the traditional German glass for the beer although smaller and done as a shot. It was a super fun serving method I haven't seen anywhere else. I absolutely loved my visit and the beer; thanks to the bartender and other customers for making it a highlight of my recent trip.
A fun place to hang out with a nice selection of beers! They have food as well and board/card games . Plenty of space to hang out and catch up. Also really loved the different art they had hanging on the walls all around.
I was attending an event nearby and was pleased to find Standard Deviant Brewing right across the street. It doesn't look like much from outside, but it has so much character inside, a nice and spacious layout, plenty of seating (picnic style tables and wooden barrels inside, as well as outdoor parklet seating), several TV's, quirky wall art, and shuffleboard, which we enjoyed playing as we sipped on a couple beers. We tried the Tree People IPA (recommended by the bartender over Naytorade) and Nitro Horchata Cream Ale. Both were pretty good, and we would have stayed to try more if we had more time before our event. They don't have a whole lot of beers on their menu, but the quality of what we tried was decent. And the venue has a nice laid-back atmosphere, with good service. I'd certainly return.
It's a fun little spot to get beer, they have a decent selection and plenty of large tables for groups. Also, keep in mind that a flight of beer is not your normal flight size, it is legit full pours. We got to try a lot on the menu but my personal favorite was the horchata beer.

Yay! A dog-friendly brewery! As soon as we walked in, we noticed wooden picnic benches, pinball machines, a large jenga set, a shuffleboard, and the bar. There was another dog sitting at one of the picnic benches, so we opted for another table at the opposite side. Pepper tends to get super excited around other dogs and we wanted her to mellow out. I ordered the Oatmeal Stout, which was a great beer. T ordered the Imperial IPA, which was just as delish! At the corner of the bar, they had a bunch of board games and cards. We played blackjack, but that game ended quickly. We stayed for 2 rounds. This place was nice and mellow. We'll be back! read more

Had severs of their beers. 2 flights to be exact. All solid beers. But nothing special. They don't even name them. They just call them they style. I'm not from around here so I'm not sure if they distribute or not but they seemed to have a nice big facility & they were busy. I they serve some food which is nice. The merch was also basic and not my fave. read more

Stumbled upon Standard Deviant Brewing on a recent trip to SF! I'm from WA state, so I was really looking for some fun local brews. My boyfriend, his brother, and me came during the afternoon and it was moderately busy. All the tables were full, but we managed to grab a bench near the shuffleboard table. They don't have too many options in terms of beer, but there is some good variety in the types of beer. We were there for quite a while and snagged a table, and the handful of games they have at the brewery. It seemed like a pretty popular brewery, and filled up fast. They don't serve much food there either, but another restaurant sets up a table and serves some interesting eats (I.e jackfruit pulled pork, and pork rinds). Definitely make your way to Standard Deviant for the delicious beer! The space is kinda funky too! read more

Great space with a different vibe than most places you'll go to drink. I haven't been to other breweries in the area, so I may be overstating the uniqueness. The space is large and open, like a bare warehouse or like a large medieval dining hall depending on your preference. There's picnic-style tables. It's cool. When I went on a Saturday night there was BBQ available in the corner, but it wasn't a permanent food fixture. The highlight for me is all the pinball machines that are in excellent condition - Addam's Family, Pin-Bot, Metallica, Attack From Mars, Medieval Madness, and Ripley's Believe It or Not. Addam's Family is probably in better shape than I've ever seen it even in the '90s, everything worked and it has what I think is a modified dot matrix display that adds color. The only minor complaint here was that the other machine I focused on, Metallica, wasn't turned up loud enough to hear the sound. Addam's Family was. I shall return. read more

Cool spot for a chill time. Heard it's a new place so we had to check it out. Right next to the armory club with plenty of staying, space and activities. Overall a good spot to hang out. It's got about 8 beers on tap, tables, jenga and several pinball machines. Good for a group. The tv's are running Netflix videos so that was pretty funny - maybe they'll play Sharknado?? Haha Beers were good. I had the saison and the blonde ale. Looks like they brew in house - you can see the tanks and kegs around. Maybe they have tours earlier in the day. Come check it out on a chill night. $6 for 16 ounces and $3 for 8 ounces - cash only. read more
Standard Deviant Brewing is one of the newest kids on the block in the small craft beer world of the bay area. Finally stopped in here the past weekend while biking around the Mission area and remembered reading they recently had their soft opening. Located right by the Armory, SDB is a decent size warehouse style building where they are brewing on site and providing a small, but well crafted selection of local brews. The space itself is nice and simple, beautifully handcrafted wood bar and picnic tables with some arcade games in the corner and when I went there a local BBQ spot on site selling some small bites to customers. Dog friendly and some little bar snacks (pretzels, peanuts) offered while you're drinking away. SDB only offers five beers so far, but a variety for everyone's taste buds. My go-to is an IPA so I grabbed a pint of theirs to enjoy. Reasonably priced for the area at $6 for a proper 16oz pint or $3 for an 8oz sampler. The IPA was good, a bit on the malty side with nice hops and a good balance. The staff was all really friendly chatting with locals about how the business is going so far and really seemed to be super passionate and excited about what they are doing. Overheard the bartender (possibly one of the owners?) chatting about releasing new styles and variety over time so I will defiantly come back to check this place out again and see what they make in the future. read more

Standard Deviant Brewing is located in the Mission District of SF right behind the Armory Club off of 14th and Mission. I discovered this brewery while searching for nearby ones and Standard Deviant seemed to be new and popular. Given that it was right around the corner from my apartment I walked on down and boy am I glad I did. FREQUENCY: I've drank at this establishment three times. FOOD: Standard Deviant itself does not serve food but they do pair with other businesses to sell dishes in their brewery. The times I've been there Doc's Classic Food Truck was present once and Sneaky's BBQ was present twice. Both Doc's and Sneaky's had phenomenal food. I had a burger and fries from Doc's and brisket/pork taco's from Sneaky's. Both paired with the beers offered by Standard Deviant very well. The owner's seem to be very involved with the food community and I hope this trend continues. DRINK: The beers are great. I've tried all 8 styles that are offered and I'd say 6 of them are amazing while the other two are still good. I didn't not dislike any of them. That makes it easy when I show up because I can just pick random ones off the board and know I'm going to enjoy it. Since Standard Deviant is still a new business they have on occasion been out of certain styles but the staff is always prepared to offer alternatives. I recommend the Altbier or the Kolsch. Half pours currently cost $3 and full pours are $6. I like to do half pours and try everything on the menu. ATMOSPHERE: Standard Deviant has a great atmosphere for socializing with friends. It's basically an open warehouse with a bar. There are pinball games on one side, giant Jenga, card games, and Connect Four behind the bar. The bar is made from a beautiful piece of wood along with another containing the Standard Deviant logo that hangs above the beer taps. There are two TV's which generally have some sort of sports on them. I come here regularly to watch football. STAFF: The staff is great. Since Standard Deviant has only been open for about two months the owners are the bartenders. They are very friendly and enjoy talking about sports, beer, and basically whatever else might be going on in San Francisco. I highly suggest going in to meet them. PAYMENT: Credit cards or cash were acceptable. Currently Standard Deviant is only open Friday, Saturday, and Sunday but I look forward to other days being added to their schedule as business increases. I moved to SF about 6 months ago and had been looking for a close bar to be a regular at and just shoot the shit with the staff. Based on my three visits so far I think I found a regular drinking home in Standard Deviant. If you are any sort of outgoing person or just enjoy trying new beers I suggest stopping by. read more
I stopped by this little gem while visiting SF. I really wanted to check out some local brews but I wasn't super close to any and had limited time. I was luck to stop and try this place. I love the large open environment. They have a really nice long bar and quite a few tables. I ordered a flight so I could try a bit of everything. And I really liked them all! They had a good variety of beers so you're sure to find a few that you'll enjoy. I'd recommend this place to anyone in the area! read more

Great location with cool vibe inside. Great staff! Gotta love the massive redwood bar. The porter and the blonde are great! Not too expensive. You can get 16oz for $6 and 8oz for $3. There was a BBQ pop up inside but I don't know if it's a mainstay. I'm sure this place is about to blow up. read more

Tempted to go for 4 stars, but just not sure. I've tried many breweries in the city (certainly not all!) - and I'd say Standard Deviant falls in the middle, so I feel that three stars is appropriate, although if they had those half stars like I'm ALWAYS asking for it would definitely be 3.5. Things I really liked: They have 8 oz pours for exactly half the price, so you can try more flavors without feeling like you are over paying, or need to try all of them in a flight (I never want to try the porters anyways) and while staying more sober. Yay. Good sized space. On Sunday at 1pm, there was literally NO ONE else there. When we left an hour later some people were rolling in, but still not many, and it could definitely hold a lot of people. Open, high ceilings, casual. The Saison was actually really good. Usually I'm not that into Saisons, but this one was really well balanced and smooth. I also thought the Callista Pale was really good too. Hoppier than I'd expect - and I like that. In the three star range: Blonde was ok, nothing special. Extra Pale better than the blonde, but didn't blow me away. IPA was solid, but I've definitely had better. Belgian IPA was a little weird, but then again, I don't love Belgians, so that could be it. They have TV's with football - which is always a nice thing to know about! Reasonably priced. They have pin ball and giant Jenga too - but we didn't play. read more

Being from LA, we get most of the San Francisco beers. I had never heard of Standard Deviant before until a friend recommended it. I stopped in for a flight of beers and was surprised by their smoked kolsch. It was recommended by the beertender and was my favorite too. I sat down at one of their picnic tables and saw lots of people come in. They have games as well, but the event of the day was the chili cookoff (for beer week). I loved this space because it's large but not gigantic and it was welcoming. read more

OMG. They have 3 bourbon barrel aged beer and a tequila beer. So damn good. I love this bar not for the great loud very loud atmosphere and dim reddish lighting from the woody bar courters and nice friendly bar tender. But I love everything about this bar. read more

I was walking my dog Snoopy and peeked inside this brewery and thought to myself "this is a great venue for our engagement party!" The inside of this venue is lovely with all the wooden interior and I absolutely love their picnic benches! I got in touch with Mark and he was so easy and amazing to work with from beginning to end. We had a tropical themed engagement party so he allowed us to bring our own decor and let us set the place up however we wanted. We had a food station (where he kindly provided tables), selfie station, dessert table, and creating an area for the hula dancers :) We were able to share our Spotify music playlist and he even had a mic for us to use! All of our guests raved about the beautiful space and delicious beer! There are pinball machines, giant Jenga, a proper photo booth, etc for other entertainment here too. Everyone had such a great time so I want to give the biggest thanks to Mark & his team at Standard Deviant Brewing! It was more than anything we could've imagined for our engagement party! I'd highly recommend Standard Deviant for a private event or just to grab a beer and chill :) read more
