Monks Kettle

The nightlife in the Mission seems geared towards people who don't actually live in the neighbourhood, and this is no exception. Kind of a bistro vibe. Decent tap list, I found a few things. Food was good, too. Not worth going out of the way for, but there's a lot of beer spots around here so you're probably not going out of the way.

Stopped in pre-happy hour in the afternoon on a Tuesday. Great bar. Tap list was a mix of local beers (good mix of some of the best brewers - e.g., had several Cellarmaker beers) and Belgians. Bottle list was more of the same. Friendly service and they seemed to take their time with everyone. Well worth a stop.

Comfortable bar. Great taplist and a huge bottle list with plenty of interesting (and expensive) Belgian beers. Quiet on a Wednesday lunchtime. Staff knowledgeable. Definitely worth a visit.

Great tap list, lots of bottles too. Focusing on Belgian stuff obviously. Didn't taste the food, but looked good. Friendly staff, not too overpriced for SF, but not cheap either. Would be great for beer brunch.

Visited in the evening, the places was pretty crowded. Struck me as a bit upscale gastro pub, could be wrong since it was at the end of our pub crawl. Around 30 taps, good range of styles and some interesting beers there. Didn't check the bottle list. Worth checking out.

Visited on a tuesday early afternoon for a late lunch and some beers. Small place with a good beer enthusiast atmosphere. Excellent selection of local and some non-local beers of general high quality. There’s a nice bottle menu as well, but be prepared to pay through your nose. Tap beers are on the pricy side as well. Staff was friendly and accomodating, food was very satisfactory. Will return here in our three days in SF.

Smaller than expected place, good welcoming bar vibe, very positive and friendly server (owner?) with clearly bucket loads of knowledge. Food sounded good but didnt try. Loads to get choose from, especially non typical (for America) styles. Very fair prices for the location. Nice beer nerd bar, welcoming to all.

Didn’t know what to expect here, food was very nice(try to have a meal here). Nice draft list, cool bottle list. Sours, stouts and IPAs, as a person not from the area, nice to see limited beers from the area available.
