The Monk's Kettle

"Monk's kettle is a gastro pub at its finest. They have 28 draft beers and another 180 bottled so you're sure to find a brew for every palate. Their food is hearty and delicious, they do meat quite well and their kitchen is open later than most restaurants. Its often a favorite place to wrap up a night!" - Avocados and Coconuts

"This beer bar in the Mission has an impressive beer list and an equally impressive burger—it’s onion jam-topped and oozes with gruyere. This cozy spot also serves crowd-pleasers like fried chicken sandwiches, pretzels, and garlic parmesan fries. So if you’re on a date with someone who’s super passionate about homebrewing, or need a place to slide into a booth with a group and discuss the pros and cons of air fryer ownership, get here." - julia chen 1, lani conway

"The only appropriate beverage to consume with a burger is beer (or a milkshake, your call). So, based on logic, any restaurant with 200 beers to choose from needs to serve a burger. And the one at Monk’s Kettle in the Mission is awesome. The onion jam and gruyere make it feel a little fancier than your normal meat sandwich, and it’s always cooked perfectly. We wish the hop salt fries it comes with were served everywhere." - Julia Chen 1, Lani Conway

"Heading to this Mission beer bar for burgers and fries is always a good idea—and if your dog is a fan of being hand-fed french fries under the table, they’ll love it too. Grab a pint of something from their beer list, which is several pages long, and sip on it from one of their heated outdoor tables." - Julia Chen 1

"Monk’s Kettle is a beer bar with an impressive beer list and one of the better burgers in town. Which is why you’ll find yourself here for first dates with someone who’s super passionate about homebrewing, group hangs in a booth, and times when you want to sit over a respectable fried chicken sandwich and debrief the night. On top of their onion jam-topped burger, this cozy spot also serves crowd-pleasers like pretzels and garlic parmesan fries. " - Julia Chen 1, Lani Conway, Ricky Rodriguez
