"Toronado, in Lower Haight, is dog-friendly, cash-only, and a very divey and chill place to get a semi-obscure beer with your friends (human or animal). While they don’t serve food in the bar, Rosamunde Sausage is right next door if you need some sustenance." - Taylor Abrams

What a phenomenal place to stumble upon. I dive craft beer bar with welcoming regulars. Cash only but they have an atm. They were showing multiple early 90s dystopian films during our visit. If I lived in SF I’d absolutely be a regular here.

Went here on a Wednesday afternoon. Parking not too hard to find and it wasn't too busy. What can be said about this place? It's legendary in the craft beer industry! Great, hard-to-find beers on tap, reasonably priced, a good to-go selection, great vintage bottle list and very dive-bar environment. CASH ONLY! Overall, this is one of the mecca destinations for craft beer bars. Go!

November 2024: First time here after hearing many great things about the bar. The beer on tap selection was very impressive. Many local top breweries were available including a long list from Russian River & Cellarmaker. Also had some hard to find breweries including Sante Adarius, Pure project. I tried a Full Petal IPA from Sante Adarius which was excellent 👍. They let you bring in food. We had sausages from Berliner Berliner that paired well with the 🍻. Service was fine. Lots of reviews talk about how the bartenders are rude. I didn't have that experience. Would definitely come back again.

The beer geek's first choice in SF is Toronado, a no-nonsense dive bar featuring many great local beers on tap, and an impressive selection of highly sought after bottles. A great place to mingle with an alternative, peace-loving crowd.

One of the most famous bars for craft beers in all California. Huge atmosphere with A+ tap list. Just sit and enjoy as many beers as you can.

When you’re in San Francisco & you like craft beer, well this is your first port of call. An absolute epic beer joint. I posted the menu on the wall so you can see what’s on offer. The last picture is how they made some good use of various beer labels.

The most unpretentious inviting place ive been in a long time. Super friendly staff, great recommendations, and overall very welcoming. They have an amazing selection, and priced fairly. The staff is incredible, but the regulars here are so friendly, you feel welcomed immediately. Already planning another trip to SF just to come back here. Shout out to Dan.

I had a disappointing experience during my visit. The bartender frequently solicited tips from customers, which felt unprofessional. Additionally, there are a couple of bars across the street that offer a better selection of beers and more attentive service.
