Creative craft beer & natural wine with Joyride Pizza, patio
"Pizza and natural wine spots in SF are as common as Teslas with customized license plates—and among the best of them is Woods Lowside. This is the Lower Haight’s group hang spot, thanks to comfortable booths, a back patio that’s no stranger to orange wine-soaked birthday parties, and food by Joyride Pizza. Their Detroit-style pies on focaccia crusts are fantastic, as are snacks like garlic knots, brussels sprouts, and bright salads. Throw some beer and funky wine into the equation, and the odds are high that you’ll find yourself here until closing." - ricky rodriguez, lani conway, julia chen 1
"It would be hard to highlight the zhuzhing this cut of Lower Haight’s seen in the last however many years without naming Woods’s efforts. It seems the buzzy San Francisco brewer has sprouted up all over the city, in Outer Sunset and Cole Valley alike. At this spacious location, complete with a charming back patio, Joyride Pizza serves pies and glasses of wine go just as hard as the beers that made this business a hit." - Paolo Bicchieri
"Woods is a brewery with tons of locations throughout the city, but we like the Lower Haight outpost, which serves Joyride Pizza and is big enough to handle a spontaneous group. Pack in around a booth inside or grab a house beer or natural wine and spill out onto the back patio—the plant-filled space can easily fit your entire entourage around the high tops and picnic tables, and no one will have to spend the afternoon with a stranger’s elbow in their face." - ricky rodriguez, julia chen 1
"Woods Lowside is the Lower Haight group hangout spot where you’ll come in for “just one drink” and end up staying for hours. The relaxed backyard patio enveloped by plants, and enough picnic tables for a 20-person birthday dinner has a lot to do with it. Cushy booths for smaller groups will draw you inside, along with shelves stocked with a rainbow of natural wine bottles. The bar doesn’t make their own pizzas, but serves Joyride Pizza’s hefty, cheese-walled Detroit-style pies instead. You’ll need them when you’re a few glasses deep and want to spare your table from your “time to belt out karaoke” alter ego." - julia chen 1, lani conway
"When you have a friend who is trying to “be chill” about their birthday, only to reveal two days before the big day that they want an intimate gathering with their entire contact list, the answer is Woods Lowside. The Lower Haight beer and wine bar serves Joyride Pizza in a long space with tons of booths and a secluded back patio, where you can easily fit 20 people around the picnic tables. Stick a candle in one of the hefty Detroit-style pies and call it a party." - julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez
