Southpaw BBQ and Southern Cooking

No Longer In Business

Second stop. Reasonably busy on a Thursday evening, but there were spots at the bar and a couple of open tables. I bellied up and ordered one of the house beers, which was decent. Service was prompt and friendly. Pulled pork was outstanding, as were the smoked Shishino peppers. They had about 6 house beers and 6 guest taps going when i was there. Worth checking out for the good BBQ and decent beer.

Maybe 10-12 taps and a ton of liquor to choose from. Got there shortly after opening and wasn’t interested in food, so I can’t really judge that. They had no house beers on tap, which was disappointing. The bartender was really friendly and was happy to let me try a couple of their other taps. Prices are a bit on the high side for full beers, but they do halves. Will have to stop in again when they have some of their own beers on tap.

Had some great pulled pork and other bbq goodness here. A bunch of guest taps from other regional breweries. Actually, I don’t recall there being a house brew available, but maybe I wasn’t looking too hard. Nice layout, simple but effective. Great smoky aromas wafting through the restaurant. Great service.

Visited 2/10/2013 after the Triple Rock Sour Fest.

Last stop of the night after hitting a lot of other places, so admittedly I was a bit burned out, but I was hungry and eager to tick some interesting beers (Smoked ginger saison, Belgian oyster stout, and chocolate habanero dubbel).

The place has a western theme going on with lots of whiskey, old western type of decorations, and BBQ. The food was pretty good but the sides were better than the BBQ. The cheese grits were very good. The service was very nice.

Didnt look much at the guest beers, just got a flight of the house beers. All three were interesting and surprisingly not bad despite the name/description. I was actually surprised by the size of the brew system, guessing 5 or 7 bbl.

I’ll stop back in again when in that neighborhood as I’ve recently discovered a good number of beer stops in that neighborhood.

More of a restaurant and cocktail bar. But don’t think magaritas when I say cocktail.... think prohibition hard to find bourbons and etc... Their beer selection is not massive but is pretty good, they had their own pale ale when I visited which wasn’t bad. Place itself is pretty nice again with nice people and and amazing spirits selection. The barman Edward is very friendly and very very knowledgable about any drink but also any bar in San Francisco. The food is also very very good.

A nice open restaurant that I visited both times I was in SF recently. Great BBQ available (it’s really more of a restaurant than a beer destination) with the pulled pork my favourite. However, they do have two fermentors in the place that they use to keep a rotating series of house brews on tap. They tend to the seasonal - but are pretty well-constructed (and at 4 bucks during happy hour a hell of a deal). About a dozen taps in total - all craft is also good to see. There are some great happy hour specials for both drinks and food. A fantastic bourbon/rye selection if that’s your thing as well. Well worth a quick pop-in when your prowling around The Mission.
