Grabbed a beer a few weeks ago as we waited out the rain and waited for dinner. So glad I stopped by! It was a solid location, nice TVs to watch any games, and free WiFi! I would definitely come back if I'm in the area. read more

Olfactory is a great place to grab a beer especially after an event at the Chase Center. I was meeting some friends after the Valkyrie's game and I'm glad I checked it out. They'd have great beers on tap and cute pinball games. There's ample seating, it's chill so you can have a conversation and hear it lol I like their beer options, I got the Hefeweizen- super light and easy. The bartender was really nice and gave us change for the pinball for cash. I would def come back for after a game again with friends! read more

Cozy and chill brewery with industrial laid back vibes (very non commercial)! We visited at lunchtime for a smash burger popup on their patio and tried a couple of their beers as well. The menu is small, but everything seems to be brewed in house, including sours and seltzer at a great price. The staff was super efficient, and the place felt very clean. There are quite a few long bar tables throughout the place, and some pinball machines too! It's super dog friendly as well. I'll definitely be returning to check out the other food pop ups and try more of their drinks! read more

Cute small/medium brewery serving up a limited supply of beers. Main lagers IPAs and lighter beers. The sour I had was very funky. I actually preferred their lighter ales with fruit hints over the sours Bartender was very nice. I like that all their beer is brewed by them. Fun place to grab a beer and read a book or meet up with a small group of friends. They don't serve food and there wasn't a food truck when I went but they didn't seem to mind us bringing in outside food which was really nice. read more

Great place to hang out with friends! Went on a Saturday night and it was lively but not overly crowded or hectic. Bartender was nice and answered any questions we had about the beers. We tried their IPA on tap, dark lager, and two of the saisons (original and strawberry). Everything was delicious. I normally do not like IPAs but this one was on the lighter end. I do wish they had a slightly larger selection. I love stouts and was disappointed to see they did not have any stouts on their menu. Seems like they do rotate their beers often so will be back! We did not try their food but looks like they often have pop-up restaurants there. There were burgers the night we went, and looks like the following night was going to be BBQ. Location was also good and easy to find street parking. read more

Olfactory Brewing - three bottles of beer on a table - Breweries Near Me - San Francisco, California

Olfactory was the perfect spot to grab pre-concert drinks before heading to the Chase Center. My friend and I came Sunday evening around 6:30 pm after parking nearby and it was pretty empty. The space is large and has bar seating as well as high tops. Would be great for groups. I'm not a huge beer person and usually try to go for a cider or wine at breweries if available, but here they only offer beer as everything is brewed on-site. There's a selection of 10 beers to choose from, so we each tried one. I got the Loral Tenenbaums and my friend had the Easy Tiger ($8 for a pint). Both were nice and light and made for a great pre-concert drink. Would coming here for a drink if you're in the area! read more

Small/medium sized space. It's located in 3rd so I parked on Illinois (there is only street parking available). I noticed some pinball machines in the back but no one was playing on them. There are a few TVs if you wanna watch sports. The staff were super friendly and the place is also dog friendly. We loved walking towards chase center after grabbing a drink and enjoying the fresh air! read more

Olfactory Brewing is a welcome and wonderful addition to Dogpatch. First and foremost, the small team is cranking out delicious and exciting beers. From crispy lagers to hoppy ales & malt driven explorations, these guys are making consistently amazing brews. The community vibe is immediately noticeable and you can regularly find local food pop-ups, snacks and artwork on display. Olfactory fills the neighborhood void for anyone seeking a down-to-earth community driven establishment that makes amazing beer. Cheers! read more

Their service is great. in my observation, the place is ran by just one staff so far. The ambiance is good. Though I have to mention the place smells a lil funky sometimes- could be not much ventilation or something, overall it's still a good place to hang out with friends. read more

Olfactory Brewing - Menu - Breweries Near Me - San Francisco, California

Visited on a Saturday afternoon around 4pm. Bar was busy but still several seats were still available along the window. Drink: 7-8 beers on draft all brewed by Ol Factory. The menu was made up of Pilsner, IPA, and Lagers on my visit. Wilson! West Coast Pilsner - pretty good, light crisp and refreshing, notes of lemon and a nice slightly malty flavor Velveteen Czech Style Pilsner - also good, relatively light but with a slightly bitter hoppy finish Service, no servers just order and pay at the bar. Overall nice to see the triple voodoo space as another brewery. Beers were solid, but nothing too unique, a good spot for a dependable beer. The bar had lots of board games so definitely a place you can hang out for the afternoon. Also note no food served onsite during my visit but looks like they do have pop ups occasionally. read more

Nice to see a new brewery open up at the old Triple Voo Doo brewery location. The couple of beers I tried were good quality and the beer tender was friendly and welcoming. I'll need to look out for more of their beer read more

Solid spot in the old Voodoo Brewery location. Great place to pre-game before seeing a Warriors game. About 10 beers on top, something for everyone for about $8 a pint. Very casual environment so leave your presumptions at the door. They also have pizzas available, made right outside the patio so the smell wafts in and tempts you. Smelled pretty irresistible, but we had to scurry over to the game, otherwise I'm sure we would have succumbed to the pizza muse. Worth a stop for a pint! read more

Great beers. I mean fantastic brews! I'd be here all the time if I lived nearby. The staff are super attentive, and well versed on all the beers too! To me that speaks volumes for a local brewery. Cheers, OB! I shall return. read more

I was very happy to stumble upon this cute brewery in the Dogpatch on a rainy day! They had a very cozy ambience with plenty of seating--plus they are totally dog friendly--which was great since I was with my pup!! Although their beers are fairly standard (no crazy flavors), you can tell they are extremely high-quality and brewed with passion. Of the four we sampled, the Zaftik Fuzzy IPA and Lamp Industry Black Lager were our favorites. Will definitely come back again to this place soon. read more

Olfactory Brewing - three different types of beer - Breweries Near Me - San Francisco, California

So glad we've got this spot in the neighborhood! Great beers, really friendly people hanging out and working the bar, and there's a free two player pac-man table. Can't ask for more than that! A few TVs on the wall, cozy vibes, and good music on the stereo. Lots of options from ales and IPAs to dark beers and interesting fermentations. read more

Olfactory Brewing - Pac-Man table and two brews - Breweries Near Me - San Francisco, California

Sadly, a dreadfully boring menu that lacked a stout, porter, brown ale or even amber. All they could offer was a dark lager. Their beer selection may very well reflect the neighborhood's residents too. Speaking of the neighborhood, it IS nice : no homeless or whacked out fentanyl addicts. Clean sidewalks and buildings. SOMA gentrified. It happens. Accessible via the T line. Off-board either before 19th or after 20th. Regardless, their Helles Lager had a distinctly bitter aftertaste and that was disappointing. C'est la vie. read more

Olfactory Brewing - Light and dark lagers - Breweries Near Me - San Francisco, California

I stopped in with a group of friends after climbing at dogpatch boulders; there was plenty of hall style, long tables to enjoy company at. This spot has a decent selection of beer on tap, and a small selection of nearly beers and n/a beverages. Doggies are welcome in here as well which makes the space feel all the more inviting and jovial. There are also table top games available for those in need of more entertainment while imbibing:) I enjoyed the Mind Fuzz - hazy ipa. It had a surprising herbaceousness to it that stands out from other citrus/fruit forward hazies. I didn't get a chance to try the food, but I will most definitely be back try it out after another climbing session. read more

I love Olfactory! Everyone who works there is so kind and knowledgeable, they are continuously releasing new beers and always have something new to try. Really like the newer addition of some funky sours too. Perfect spot before and after a Giants game! read more

Ol Factory is on the verge of being an institution, the type of innovation, vibes and craft they are putting into their spaces is truly inspiring! With a great selection of craft beers as well as a weekly pop up from some of the best small business big flavor chefs, every visit is a great one! Not to mention, the bathrooms stay clean and the service is always on point! Definitely my neighborhood go too but also one of my favorite spots in the city! Looking forward to my next visit and putting pac man to the test! Cheers! read more

Great bartender, awesome vibe inside (country music, but it was good?!), free games and Pac-Man and a small outdoor patio. Lots of seating and you can see them make the beer in the back. The beer was fantastic - I've never been a Pilsner fan, but I'd recommend the West Coast Pilsner wholeheartedly. The beers change in and out every few visits, so it's a fun spot to frequent. read more

Best new brewery in San Francisco, hands down! The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Good vibes all around

Great selection of beers, from light and hoppy to sour. Friendly and welcoming staff, with a spacious interior and a few board games to enjoy. Often times they have food pop-ups which comes in clutch after downing a few brewskis. Please support this fine establishment and keep the beer flowing! read more

Beers on tap are excellent and the crew is friendly. Relaxed atmosphere. Fills the Dogpatch hole left behind by Triple Voodoo!

So happy to finally have visited Olfactory. I knew the beers were going to be good, yet they outclassed what I was expecting. The lagers are world-class. Somehow sharp and pillowy at the same time. I'll be back. read more

Great beer, great vibe, super chill staff. I'm excited to see what will be on the beer list next time I come in! They don't serve food as far as I know but they had a little local Detroit style pizza pop up last time I was in there. read more

Visited with friends the other night. Nice atmosphere, good selection of tasty and well made beer flavored beers. Tried the dark lager, the Hefeweizen, the IPA and another lager and enjoyed them all. This is a great place to get away from the maximum-bitter beer/super bizarre flavor combo arms race and enjoy the flavors of well made, highly enjoyable beers. Looking forward to a return trip to try the other beers on tap. read more

If you like pilsners and lagers, you will love this place. The bartenders are knowledgeable and friendly.

Love this new brewery in the neighborhood! The owners are so nice and the beer is good! They rotate new beers often which I love! Lots of space to hang out and very dog friendly too! You can bring your own food and they sometimes have food pop ups! Highly recommend :) read more

Laid back, easy dog & baby brewpub. No food except snacks but a good variety of beer (not all IPAs like some places).

Love the place they are very friendly the place feels great vibes the only thing i didn't agree they only have beerr

Most excellent!! Great little spot with good vibe, friendly staff and amazing beer. The atmosphere is welcoming and the brewer is quite impressive. I will be sure to grab some drinks here again in the near future. read more
