Description

Beer, hamburgers and ice cream are core staples at this order-at-the-counter Fairfax restaurant, where high ceilings and brick walls complement a menu of sandwiches, salads and fries. A small selection of craft beers rotate regularly, as do ice cream flavors from local specialist Scoops. The two can be joined together to form Golden State's popular beer floats. Lamb burgers are available on Thursdays and beer-battered fish on Saturdays.
