"With 21 beers on tap and long picnic tables, Standard Deviant Brewing in the Mission is where to socialize on a rainy weekend over games, nitro horchata cream ale, and shots of Underberg. Occasionally, they’ll have a taco stand set up in the back right corner, but it’s not consistent, so, don’t count on the food to power you through shuffleboard. Like nearby beer hall Zeitgeist, this place can get packed (especially on days when the weather is terrible), but be warned: it can be pretty dead at night, even on Friday and Saturday. If you’re looking for a crowd, just head to one of the other great bars in the Mission." - ricky rodriguez, julia chen 1
