"In a city full of bars that are either packed with people or entirely empty, Southern Pacific is an outlier. It’s spacious enough that even at its busiest, it won’t make you feel claustrophobic. It’s also a great spot for a day party, rather than cramming your extended friend group into your not-so-extended apartment. Go early, snag a table, and get a house Moscow mule or five." - will kamensky, nic strain 2
"Southern Pacific Brewing is one of the few places in the city where your group can multiply to the size of a chamber orchestra and still find a place to sit. The warehouse-like windows flood the space with natural light while the occasional DJs and salsa event keep the energy (and volume) high. If you want to fill up on something other than a pint of house IPA (check the chalkboard for daily availability), they also have bar food like wings, burgers, and excellent fries." - Julia Chen
"Southern Pacific is a strong jumping off point for a day or night in the Mission, and has enough bar food and drink options to keep everyone happy while toasting to your entry into the world. The place is huge, the tables are long, and the beers are great. They even have games to play once your friends run out of appropriate stories from your last few birthdays to tell your coworkers." - taylor abrams
"The Mission brewery closed last September, and finally reopened earlier this month. So stop by their beautiful, light-filled space for a pint of beer or a house cocktail, and enjoy it with crispy brussels sprouts or sage fries. Patio and parklet seating are also available." - julia chen 1
"Even if you don’t have a coworker throwing a birthday party when you’re trying to convince someone to move here, you should still swing through Southern Pacific Brewing. It’ll involve you pitching the place a little bit like a car salesman, but instead of trying to distract your friends with donuts while you sell them the extended warranty, you’ll do it with craft beers and good natural light instead." - will kamensky
