    West coast local beer selection
    Nicole B.

    After a tough day that resulted in a 12 hour layover, decided to explore pier 39 and stopped in Humble Sea. Beer selection with the scenery of the ocean uplifted my spirits, but ultimately just a friendly server, Jay, made my whole day. What was a nice touch was after introducing myself and returning for a refill, Jay remembered my name which made me smile. If you are bopping around pier 39 definitely stop in Humble Sea before you leave, would highly recommend getting there earlier if you plan to sit on the patio. The views are so great it will fill up fast and there is very limited seating inside.

    After we completed 10k steps we decided to reward ourselves with their socks & sandals foggy IPA. Perfect while people watching and taking in the bay.

    Stopped by here for a cold one. I decided on thr Kooks layer amber layer. It was very good. Reminded me of a New Castle. We also had a great view of the bay. It was a beautiful Memorial Day weekend.

    Fantastic and iconic location in the most tourist trap of all, San Francisco has this magical touch easily convincing us all that twenty bucks is normal for an omelet! Twenty bucks is normal for a four back of beer. This place is saturated in that oblivious bliss. I really wanted to grab the limited edition marshmallow stout then was told it's fifty bucks! Zounds! Wild to think someone will chance that without being able to taste it yet psychology tells us we will pretend something taste goods with a big price. I asked so many questions with the polite staff on a rainy empty Monday that I figured I better get a lager. It was fine, Aldi has better four packs for eight bucks yet yes without this ambient ocean vibe! For the pier life this is sure a catch.

    This brewery was so good we came here every day except one on our vacation. The only reason we didn't make it that one day was because we were out of the area, otherwise it would be every day of our vacation. The outside seating area is perfect. There's plenty of shaded spots and sun spots depending on where you like to sit. Every beer we tried was so good! The employees were always friendly and helpful. I wish I could get this beer in NY because the socks and sandals hazy was sooo good! My only regret is not buying more merch! A must stop spot if you like great beer and good vibes!

    Look gud

    I've been to other locations of theirs. It's always a relaxed setting with great beer. It was such a beautiful day. You decided to go down to the wharf. Sit under the sunny skies. Watch the boats grab a beer.

    Very nice addition to Pier 39! Wish this was around while l lived in the city, but I'm glad to have chanced upon this taproom today. This location doesn't exactly have the best view unless you're into docked boats lol. Anyway, I their Life Finds A Wave - definitely not the typical stouts I've tried. Excited to try their other drinks on tap next time! Wish the food options are a bit better. This location partnered up with Taco Cantina. It's very expensive .

    We arrived in San Francisco and Pier 39 was one of our first stops. It was right before lunch and we were walking down the pier deciding where we wanted to have lunch but also wanted a quick drink as we were coming from the East Coast so it was a long flight. We came upon humble sea brewing. When you walk in you see a great view of the bay and we were greeted very promptly. The gentleman behind the bar did a great job of explaining the different types of brews and what would be the most economic option for us. We ended up getting a four pack of their lager. It was crisp, cold, and refreshing just what we needed. It was a great stop, and I would definitely try more of their brews if I come across them.

    We were playing tourist and we stumbled upon this place. It's about halfway down on Pier 39 and has a great outdoor deck to enjoy your beer and the scenery of the boats docked in the bay. Also, it's great to hang out here and people watch since there are so many tourists that flow through Pier 39. I say pop in and check it out!

    The location of Humble Sea is incredible as you stare out the windows and into the marina, almost giving the sensation that your are drinking beer on a sailboat. This would be a great place to spend a few hours with friends, soaking up the cool vibes and enjoying tasty brews and good people. The service is also exceptional and my beers seemed to refill as soon as my glass was empty! The beers were pretty good; I'm not going to lie that there may be some better prospects in Oakland (nope, I'm not from Oakland) but if you find yourself in need of good craft beer while you are around pier 39, Humble Sea is a great choice!

    Came on a friday late afternoon! They have a good amount of beer selection. We got one a socks & sandals hazy ipa. The view on the outside patio is nice - you get a view of the the boats stationed on the water. they dont sell food but plenty of food options around. they also connect with one of the neighboring restaurants- u can scab their menu & they'll bring u food to the brewery.

    New Tap House outpost on Pier 39! Definitely worth a visit. This outpost stands apart from all the traditional tourist spots on Pier 39! We enjoyed their beautiful outdoor seating with harbor and city views and enjoyed their IPA sampler - $8 pours for $42! Great way to try all their IPAs! Service is fast and friendly - you order at the bat and grab your own table! They don't have food but there are QR codes on the table to order from the nearby Taco Cantina!! We were happy with their IPAs!!

    Cute little taproom with more seats on the patio outside. You can order food to your table from the taco place next door. Good variety of beer! Bartender was friendly.

    They have a bar area inside, but the great place to sit is outside on the pier in a private area accessible only through the bar area.

We shared the lamb sandwich with broccoli and the crispy chicken sandwich with kale. Both were really good. The lamb wasn't gamey at all, the bread was perfect, and the chicken was crispy and flavorful. Overall, great experience and definitely a good spot for lunch when I'm in the SF office.

Today me and my wife stopped in for lunch as we have a few times before. It was a warm day in the Bay Area today and we were out walking so I wore a nice sleeveless shirt. It was nice, new and clean. The hostess asked me to cover my shoulders but I said I didn't have anything with me. She sent the manager over. The manager told me no sleeveless shirts for men are allowed in her restaurant. Mind you this is lunch. Not dinner. This is not a super fancy place. Me and my wife were both properly and nicely dressed. I politely told her that I identify as a woman. She said it didn't matter. I said so you misspoke a moment ago and male or female cannot wear sleeveless shirts? She said correct. I looked around and there was a woman behind us wearing a sleeveless shirt. Not nearly as nice as mine or dressed as nice as me. I said ok I will wait here while you turn her away too. The manager then became very rude and said she isn't going to serve me no matter what. I told her are you sure about this and she said yes and asked me to leave. How embarrassing. I have never been turned away from any establishment in my life. Is this not discremenation due to my gender? Businesses have the right to refuse service to anyone unless it is for race, gender or age. I will be contacting an attorney this week. This is not ok. This is not right and I will stand up for my rights and the rights of others.
