Organic pub fare and homebrews anchor this historic Haight Street brewery
"A neighborhood favorite, Magnolia Brewing makes the most of its Haight Street location, with its basement brewing and wrap-around sidewalk patio. Situated on one of America’s most famous streets, Magnolia Brewing is a great spot to get a view of the Upper Haight’s countercultural past. Pub favorites are the play here, like a plate of fish and chips — as is a glass of chardonnay and a sunset view." - Vox Creative
"Craft beer poured by bartenders who know their stuff and tasty pub fare are the reason this corner spot is constantly bustling with locals. Though ownership and vibe has changed over the years, including an expansion and subsequent closure in Dogpatch, it will always remain near and dear to everyone who remembers when Magnolia was one of the first craft breweries in SF." - Paolo Bicchieri
"Magnolia Brewing is back after a brief closure, this time reopening in the hands of Kevin Kynoch, the owner of Fly Bar and Polo Grounds, along with Brandon Phillips of 21st Amendment Brewing, and Brian Reccow, who worked with Magnolia through its bankruptcy, the San Francisco Chronicle reports. Along with some updates to the space, the biggest change is the addition of a full liquor license, which will give beer drinkers (and non-beer drinkers) some options besides Magnolia’s brews. The menu has also gotten an update with smash burgers and fish and chips." - Dianne de Guzman
"Reopening on Thursday, December 5, this comeback is led by Kevin Kynoch, Brandon Phillips, and Brian Reccow, with former Magnolia brewer Jon Taylor returning to run the basement brewery onsite; Chef Tony Alcala consulted on the new menu, which features "elevated pub fare" such as garlic-miso wings with Calabrian chimichurri and chive crema, and the space was updated to provide better access to the bar (Tablehopper)." - Dianne de Guzman
"I'm noting that Magnolia Brewing changed ownership and temporarily closed on August 26 for repairs and cosmetic changes to the space, with plans to return “in the coming weeks,” per an Instagram post." - Dianne de Guzman
