Fun upstairs bar just off the plaza downtown. Pool, food, beer and cocktails along with a small outside balcony.

Stopped in for a beer early evening, nice place with a couple of free Pool tables... plenty of options on tap, though a bit on the pricey side but that's pretty typical at Brewpubs. Worth a stop if in the area... Kitchen wasn't open during my visit so can't comment on the food.

Love love this place. Came last time we were in SF and they’ve since renovated the space and it looks even better than before. The Paloma is always great and the atmosphere is so inviting and relaxing. Always a destination when we’re in town.

We are here on vacation. Saw the Brewery and Cider and had to try it. Remember they have different times during the week so check the website. Good selection of beers but only one cider on tap. Good there would be more. We also ordered food. It is upstairs so be prepared for a long flight up. Beer and food was good. Slow night. The bartender was very friendly and took care of us. We are visiting from East Texas.

Very dog friendly. For real. Brought a treat and water bowl right away. Sampled a couple of beers (505 pilsner and the porter) and recommend the porter for its depth. Beloved Spouse Unit (BSU) had the blackberry cider. It was a bit tart, but very strong Blackberry flavor. She enjoyed it. I also had a sample of their Bourbon and their Maple Rye spirits. The Bourbon was good with a vanilla finish if a wee bit harsh. The Rye was like an ice cream soda. I like ice cream soda. Sweet and maple-ey. I would rate it about 8.5, but I'm not really a connoisseur of Rye. For serving you go to the bar and order. Don't be in a hurry for your food. It was about 25 minutes plus. Not a problem, just an observation. If you know about it before then you will expect it. Had the tacos pastor (BSU) that were good, but somehow missed the pineapple that was supposed to be in there. I had the Honcho burger w/ fries. Better have a big hunger and a big mouth. Fries arrived luke warm, but still good. The burger was great but had to go back to the bar for a fork to finish the awesome green Chile's that dropped off. The verdict? Food and friendliness are top notch, but a little more hustle from the people behind the bar is indicated. We were about the only ones there when we arrived, so not expecting superhuman effort. Just hot fries with my $20 burger. The dog friendly dining room put them over the top. I recommend.

Cozy second floor patio for fresh air, mountain views in both directions and good people watching, great brews, and super tasty street tacos. What's not to like? We visited during a quiet Sunday afternoon.

Fun place! We came in for karaoke night by accident and ended up staying much longer than planned! Super dog friendly, which is a big plus :)
