The Refuge

Everything at this place is good. had chicken wonton soup pear salad Reuben san. garlic fries and the Triple beer . Cool place, nice staff and awesome food. Underberger digestive drink is great :)

OMG: the Pastrami Reuben : house-made pastrami , sauerkraut , Swiss on toasted rye -- which paired brilliantly with a malty-chocolaty draught Viven Smoked Porter . Very, very tasty!

Amazing food, great selection of beer . I just wish our waiter (Oski) had been more friendly . He made us feel *very* unwelcome. :( Questioning a return trip now. How sad. I really used to love it here.

The pastrami on rye or the Rueben on rye are fantastic. I’d walk from SF for one. Plus the great beer selection is a worthwhile bonus.

Pastrami sandwich is pretty good, you can split it . The garlic fries are delicious ????

Been a longtime fan of The Refuge! Great beer selection (heavy on Belgian selections) and fantastic pastrami dishes. Try the Goofy Fries !

Brined for a week and then smoked, the pastrami on the Toasted Slaw sandwich is as tender as it gets. Hardcore pastrami fans must also try the pastrami burger . Read more

The Reuben is a must with a side of chopped liver . Goofy fries are garlic-y and delicious. Don’t forget to wash it down with a Kwak ????????

Best Pastrami sandwich I ever had. The Pastrami salad is surprisingly good, too. Actually - get anything with that tasty & butter-soft Pastrami .

So many beers to choose from! Outdoor seating that’s dog friendly . Not a ton of vegetarian options , but their veggie burger is solid.

Must have the Pastrami sami and a beer . Please leave room for the Pot of Creme chocolate dessert (OMG!) The real deal for chocolate and creamy, will take a while to finish very decadent.

High quality Pastrami sandwiches . Not a lot of draft options but lots of bottle choices

Consistently excellent sandwiches (Toasted Slaw , Pastrami Burger ) plus great selection of Belgian beers

Love the cheesesteak and the goofy fries . Be adventurous with the beers . Gets packed and they aren't happy about people crowding around the bar . For long wait times, head to Ale Arsenal next door.

If you love pastrami , this is the place to go. My wife and I will be back as soon as we can.

Get the pastrami burger ! I don’t even like pastrami that much but it’s killer on this burger . They also have a great beer selection .

Excellent draft and bottle beer list . The pastrami burger is stupid good.

The beers are lovingly described, and served in appropriately specialized glasses, and the pastrami (top it with chopped liver if you're feeling extra decadent) is first-rate.

Allagash Curieux which is their Triple Ale aged in Jim Bean bourbon barrels for 8wks. Very smooth and fruity with a smooth almost citrusy finish.

Pastrami with cole slaw . Garlic fries and the ginger sour ale . Amazing!!!

Get a couple friends together for the fressers platter to make your own pastrami and chopped liver sammies

Simply the best pastrami I have had even including NYC

Try pastrami and goofy fries ????

I probably violated every rule by getting a ribeye cheesesteak on my first visit. No regrets... It was bomb! So are the goofy fries .

Swiss and Mustard Pastrami sando ... this could become a habit

While you're here, try the #19 Pastrami Sandwich , a "sweet" Ohio burger or maybe a Pastrami burger . You can't go wrong if you add garlic fries tothe order

Good beer and good pastrami . What more could a boy ask for?

If you really love the pastrami here, you can always order the pastrami steak , which is off the menu .

Immediately became my favorite place. Oh man, the beers !!

The best pastrami sandwiches/salads. Rueben or if you're not counting calories go for the pastrami burger !

The bread pudding is life changing. Well worth the diabetes.

The best pastrami on the peninsula

Try the Best Reuben in Town - The pickle makes one feel inadequate

Pastrami Reuben , Goofy fries & Bourbon Bread Pudding

This is on the short list of places where I would choose to die - very happily, indeed.

Best Reuben sandwich I've ever had. Bring the bros and celebrate life.

Amazing! I ordered the white cheddar burger medium and it came out rare so be careful!

First time here? Don't even look at the menu. Order a pastrami sandwich and a plate of pickles .

Ask for the bottle list and READ it... Awesome finds for the lay drinker!

If you're not in the mood for booze try their homemade Black Cherry Soda !

The rib-eye philly cheese steak is awesome. Go for the Champ!

The bread pudding is by far the best I ever had!

I had the OG cheesesteak sandwich but it was fairly disappointing. Try something else if you are considering it.

Pastrami sandwiches and the beer selection

Pro tip: ask Paul for beer suggestions. He knows his stuff!

Try the Brie Burger - it's to die for. hand ground chuck, the patty melts in your mouth. Read more

Try the Ribeye Cheesesteak - We all shared. Brie burger still the fav

Awesome pastrami sammiches !

Pastrami , just pastrami . So delicious.

Ken says I gotta try the pastrami here. Tasty Subs worthy?
