Description

In the pantheon of beer bars, Toronado occupies the tallest throne. For well over 20 years, the T has been a Mecca to beer lovers near and far, offering delightful and often rare draft selections at cheap prices and even cheaper during happy hour. The bottled selection - not so cheap. There are so many beers you'll never be able to drink a pint of every brew you'd like to try. The bar also rotates taps frequently, so don't count on a specific beer being available during a return visit. Newcomers and even regulars discuss how the bartenders have turned "customer service" into an oxymoron, as they are quick to chastise you for lollygagging while ordering or even mispronouncing your order. Toronado is crowded and loud, but it is conveniently located next to Rosamunde, which serves a plethora of perfect sausage pairings that you can take back inside the bar.

  • 2000 | Best Beer-Drinker's Resource

    Regular stopovers at this Lower Haight watering hole are an education in both regional and international beer-making for the post-Miller generation. A call board above the bar lists 45 or so offerings on tap and hand pump, grouped by brewery (mostly local), and the selection generally includes both year-round local champs and hard-to-find seasonal offerings. Those with more far-searching desires pore over the chalkboard for the bottled offerings (heavy on Belgian ales -- the Toronado's... More »
