Fermentation Lab lives up to its name by offering a plethora of brewed and pickled delights, with farmhouse veggies fermented on-site. Oh, and the ambiance makes for a great social laboratory , too.

Maya Byrne

Awesome selection of draft beers . Tried out the pickle sampler and the salmon dish and wasn't impressed but will certainly be back for a beer

Tiffany Schaefer

The beer list is great, the Banchan plate is delicious and the chicken sandwich is amazing. If you like hot sauce , make sure to ask for some of the chef 's chile sauce - yum!

Eric Shine

Great beer selection . They had three sours on tap , love that! Food was good as well , try the ahi sandwich .

Clinton Winder

Good beer/wine. Food is surprisingly good for this area of town . Can get a little crowded at certain times

Spoon Carvalho

Oh my beer list , and the food is good as well

Kyle Minor

Kombucha on tap , duck sliders on deck, and AIRPLANE! on TV . What more could you ask for on a Tuesday?

C

Beer , wine , bar food (but not too greasy solid meals). Vegan burger !

Max Brautigam

Great selection for a hot-insane price, and busy but not too loud for a conversation!

Barbara Stephenson

Good beer list , nice people, great food. What more can you ask for?

Kurt Nelson

One of the best places in town to get a burger and a beer for roughly $20

Keith Smiley

Good local beer selection . Good food.

Dan Sohayda

Small space but nice. Pretty good beer list but not as good as City Beer Store nearby. Food options are good but my burger was too salty as many have said already. They’re all correct.

Alex Silarajs

If it was in a better neighborhood I'd be there more often. Get the duck fat fries .

Kyle S

Chicken Torpedo and Brisket Burger are legit. (Steak fries !)

Theo Diamonte

Great place; nice selection of beers , just limited seating .

Petri Aukia

Excellent brews and lunch .

Alyssa W

Great craft beer bar . They focus on California breweries

Nancy Ann

Burgers . Never get to try the beer , tho, as it's lunch .

William Gunn

Tiny, crowded , expensive . This might be the kinda place that is great to have nearby & to frequent, but it's not a destination thing.

Gia Roberts

Very cool. Pliny ???????? and the cheese plates ????????

Matt Martin

24 rotating taps and gastro-pub fare

Kevin Isacks

Decent beer list

Frost Li

Food was very salty and almost not edible. Didn’t like either of the beers I had. Overpriced and uncomfortable seats.

My favorite large venue in San Fran. Park at the large parking lot nearby or take BART, don't try for street parking. Don't worry about where you're sitting, it's a great view from anywhere. - Roy Scopazzi
