Description

There are many brew pubs in the U.S. (particularly on the West Coast), but most of them look like atmosphere-challenged sports bars and serve Miller and Bud knockoffs to match. Magnolia brewmaster and proprietor Dave McLean does things differently. Magnolia - a converted early-20th-century pharmacy - is all dark wood, Grateful Dead-inspired friezes, and intimate booths. The pub boasts a revolving range of house-made beers (typically, about five cask-conditioned and around 12 on tap) from a tangy Kalifornia Kölsch to a velvety Cole Porter. Magnolia also serves guest beers from all over Europe, with the offerings frequently betraying McLean's disposition toward British ales. Chef Ronnie New's menu of seasonal, organic food pairs perfectly with the house brews to create a true artisan brewery experience.

Magnolia brewmaster and propietor Dave McLean does things differently. Instead of swamping customers' conversations with wall-to-wall flat plasma TV screens blaring college football games across a converted warehouse, Magnolia -- a converted early-20th-century pharmacy -- is all dark wood, Grateful...

  • 2005 | Best Beer Bar

    There are always 10 to 12 house-made beers on tap here (as well as another three to five on the hand pumps), including the award-winning Blue Bell Bitter and Proving Ground IPA and such original creations as Sara's Ruby Mild ("with a hint of black cherries"), Cole Porter ("just a hair shy of being a stout"), and the hearty, chewy oatmeal Stout of Circumstance. (Seasonal offerings include Jubilee Pale Ale, to celebrate the Haight Street Fair and the start of summer; Old Thunderpussy... More »
