Swung by this place for a happy-hour drink. They don't brew anything on-site; the brewery is located on Treasure Island. Fun space; nice outdoor area in the back and cute simple modern bar indoors. Several beer styles on draft which are enjoyable. Friendly bartender - let us sample a couple things. Not much offered in terms of food; they offer a few varieties of empanadas but we chose to dine elsewhere. Worth checking out if you like trying out local beer. read more

I was really looking forward to checking out Woods Outbound, but my Sunday visit at 5pm was a bit of a bummer. Unfortunately, they were out of almost everything on the menu alcohol-wise. In addition, they didn't have any of the NA options available that were advertised, so my group ended up having to go elsewhere. I will say, the staff working were very apologetic and kind. I actually felt bad for them having to deliver the news to so many people. I love the concept of this place, but the inventory management was a major letdown this time around. read more

Woods Beer & Wine is an absolute gem. Every single drink feels incredibly well-crafted--like real intention and creativity went into each one. You can genuinely taste the thought behind every pour, and everything we've tried has been delicious. Gram was amazing and so helpful--super knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole experience even better. We're sitting outside right now and the vibe is so cozy and honey-warm, it's perfect. Such a great place to relax, sip something special, and soak it all in. Highly, highly recommend this spot. read more

Sought put this bar for the outdoor fireplace space. It gets chilly in the sunset! Beautiful intimate space in the back if you wanted to actually have a conversation without screaming. Outdoor space does close at 10 pm. We came here on a very busy Friday night. Service was fast and friendly. Was able to find street parking immediately. read more

Stopped by this place on a whim after the restaurant I was intending to go to was closed for a private event. So glad I ended up here! The vibes are great-- music was on point tonight 6pm Saturday night. Nice loud dive bar playing lots of rock music. Hip place to be on a Saturday night. Not much food options, but the empanadas are f*****g amazing. I'm here for the beer anyway, and the beer is solid. Highly recommend Great Highway IPA. If you aren't into loud rock music and beer/wine, or you are looking for a full food menu, I'd consider somewhere else. If you like Elvis, Motley Crue, Chris Isaak, eating flaky empanadas, and west coast beer, don't hesitate to stop here. read more

My friend and I popped in here and were about to leave when we realized it was a natural wine bar, but the bartender convinced us to just try a taste before we left. I can't believe it, but he managed to find me a natural wine I liked! The rose was my favorite. It didn't have that usual funky flavor that other natural wines have. I was sold! Service was good and the vibes were cool. We sat at the bar but they also had two patio options. Next time! read more

We stumbled upon this place last night. We just finished eating diner and wanted to continue the night with a few more drinks. We found this place and went right in. The place had quite a few drinks on tap and the atmosphere here was chill and relax. I ended up having this crisp cider which was refreshing but when I further talked to our friendly bar tender I was able to taste the Pilsner they had on tap and wished I had that as well. It couldn't get any more drinks since they already did last car. Was a very clean and nice establishment. I would come again for drinks and to hang out with my friends again. read more

Nice little winery/brewery just a few blocks from the beach! They serve up their own beers and natural wines, and empanadas in partnership with el porteno. We came to cool off with a refreshing drink after a walk along the Great Highway. They had bar seating indoors, a parklet in the front, and then some bench seating around a fireplace in the back. We opted to sit in the back and enjoyed what felt like a small private backyard. I didn't know the wines were natural when I heard about this place, but based on their uniqueness and funk, you can definitely tell they're natural upon first sip. Not a bad thing, just don't expect your typical glass of wine here. I wasn't in a natural wine mood, so I ended up getting their hazy IPA and my boyfriend their retro pilsner. We both liked our beers and enjoyed hanging out outside. Honestly the highlight here was the empanadas. I'm not always a huge empanada girl, but these were so damn good. We got a mushroom and ham & cheese to share and both were fantastic. The mushroom one was juicy and full of flavor, and the ham & cheese was well balanced with the richness from the cheese and the saltiness from the ham, which to my surprise an delight was prosciutto (clearly I didn't read the menu well). Would come back here again for a post-walk bite and beer, and maybe a glass of wine if I were in the mood for something natural! read more

Love Woods beer but at this location, I waited inside for 25 minutes without being given the chance to order. No one was behind the bar for the first ten minutes that I was there and then after another 15 minutes of waiting I just decided to try somewhere else. Disappointing. read more

Great beer and great empanadas from El Porteño. Spent the day playing and learning cribbage with friends outside on their back patio. Bartender was always helpful. read more

visited this place from a recommendation of a friend who lives in the area and said it was a great place for empanadas and drinks, and she did not disappoint they have super interesting beers and wines and absolutely delicious empanadas. I had spent a few moments trying to decide which empanada to get before the bartender let me know there was literally only one left (the champignon mushroom one), and after I ordered it the poor guys next to me got turned away when trying to order some as well we tried the local honey beer with our snack which was super interesting and fun, I would get it again for sure. the bar overall had a really nice chill relaxing vibe. if I lived in the area I could definitely see myself being a regular here grabbing an empanada and a drink! read more

Small wine and beer spot that has amazing empanadas (Our favorites are the ham and cheese or the mushroom!). Staff is super friendly and the place has a great ambiance. You can choose to sit inside, or outside in the parklet or the small patio with fire pit in back. Leased/well behaved dogs are allowed inside and outside. read more

Cute little place. Out close to the beach. Nice open street sitting space and friendly bar area. To eat they offer hot empanadas, a few to choose from. Good interesting beer to choose from too. Clean bathroom as well! They also have an outback area. The have an outdoor fire pit, replete with garbage cans and random rubbish. Would be much nicer if it were a little more cleaned up. Maybe consider tossing the rusty shelfs and hiding the trash bins behind a bamboo curtain so they're out of sight and out of mind. read more

Woods Outbound - The outdoor fire pit, replete with garbage cans and random rubbish. - Breweries Near Me - San Francisco, California

I love woods and their various locations. However, I live in the sunset and have been disappointed recently by this location (I love all of their locations). There used to be a couple nice people who worked here, particularly the tall bearded man with long hair. Recently, there's been a rude blonde man who just makes the vibes not fun. I try to avoid coming here if I see him in the window, he's rude and treats you like second class if you're not a man and willing to spend tip him 20% for giving no energy or kindness. read more

Great spot for a gathering. Nice patio in the back with picnic tables and a fire pit. Great that they offer half pours and NA beverages, enjoyed the herbal ale. Will definitely return if looking for a chill spot in the sunset. read more

The bartender was GREAT and the rose was delicious but we went there because while the location is small they have outside sitting. The front heaters no longer had gas "because we are getting rid of them" but they still had their parklet set up. The back area (which is noted to have a fire pit?) wasn't open. I assume bc she was the only staff - but that wasn't told to me. We still had a nice book club meeting but probably wouldn't pick the location again. read more

Super stoked to see Woods in the Sunset area. Met up with a friend here for some lazy afternoon beers. Dog-friendly if you can snag a spot outside! Beers are solid, Woods always knows how to pull through with quality, variety and uniqueness. I love their selections of hazys and the serve-yourself water station on tap. Right now there's no indoor seating, at least when we went a few weeks ago...not sure if that has changed. That being said, I wish there were more outdoors seating options available besides their tiny little garden area and the 3-4 small group tables out in front. It's def tougher with a large group. I definitely like the Woods cervezeria in Mission and the heart of the city better, but at least Woods is accessible in all parts of SF. The consistency of the beers don't change regardless of what tap room you visit, but location location location y'all. Idk, this tap space feels like homey and intimate compared to their other locations. But if you're looking to get delicious SF beer after a beach day on Ocean Beach, this is your spot. read more

Stopped by here for a quick drink after dinner. Great little space in the Outer Sunset to meet and chat with friends/family. They have some outdoor seating out front, ample seating inside, and a hidden little back patio as well. Nice selection of beers AND wine. Great, friendly service. read more

Found this spot on a whim when I wanted to grab some drinks with my friend that had outdoor seating. It was your typical chilly SF day but the little parklet out in front was a good enough space to feel like we had our own space. We also had the occasional MUNI running. The had a really good beer selection that appealed to the inner hipster/beer snob within me. The even had Co-Ferments which are beers that spontaneously fermented with grapes. I ended up selecting the Local Honey which was delicious and would definitely recommend that you try. read more

Attended a bridal shower reserved at the back patio. I wish they could've cleaned up a bit but facing away from the building is a lovely tree canopy with bushes and shrubs. Loved the empanadas (ham & cheese, beef, and chicken) served warm. Beers were awesome. Super friendly place. read more

Grab a hazy IPA and sit outside in the afternoon/late evening. When the sun is shining, it's fabulous!

This place is super cute and fits the vibes of the outer sunset - foggy, sleepy and charming. If you're looking for a mellow bar or a fun late afternoon activity, this is the perfect place to go. Great beer and wine selection to drink there or take home. They also have some light bites like empanadas! read more

In some ways, I'm glad that I moved out of the Outer Sunset because the recent opening of Woods Beer Co is dangerous! Or maybe I just needed a silver lining to moving away from my amazing roommates. Anyways, we discovered this place on the way to our usual spot, Pittsburgh Pub. Unfortunately it closed earlier (10pm) than we were out that night, but we made a note for the future. After having dinner at Outlerlands, and en route to Pittsburgh, we decided to make a stop at Woods Beer Co. It was practically empty. The place looked so pristine! There were colorful fresh flowers on the counter in cute little vases, with candles next to them. We had a seat and perused the limited but sufficient menu. Apparently half the menu consists of brews available at all times. The other half consists of rotating drafts. Between the three of us, we tried almost all the beers on the menu. My roommate fell in love with the Local Honey beer, which my favorite was (of course) the Islay IPA. It's a very whiskey tasting beer. I've never tasted brews like the ones here at Woods Beer Co, which is a good thing! The bartender was explaining the history of the place and chatting with us. It made us feel at-home already, even though it's a new bar and our first time. We had just eaten, but they cater empanadas here, which my roommate and I usually eat at the Ferry Building downtown. That's awesome, considering empanadas are more filling than pretzels and nuts and not enough of a commitment to have a full-fledged kitchen. Perfect. Next time I visit my former roommates in Outer Sunset, I'll likely be back at Woods Beer Co, or even check out the other locations around the city, depending on my mood. Again, great addition to the neighborhood! read more

Woods Outbound is a quaint and interesting little bar that serves up some peculiar beers. By peculiar I mean they put out some really outlandish combinations that can be a hit or miss. If you're up for trying unique beers, this is your place. The space inside is small and cozy, but there's a small patio outside too if you want some semblance of open space. I'm not going to rack my brain trying to write anything creative about this place. It's hipster, it's positively SF, and it's decent all around. Try it out once, or many times if you do enjoy what they have to offer. Me personally? I liked the beer I got (which I have forgotten what it was at this point), I was in good company, and the overall vibe was pleasant. read more

good music, great vibes, the assortment of drinks is lovely and they're always switching it up! The bartender is sooo friendly and they always have a fun playlist goin. Empanadas are tasty , honestly zero complaints. The vibes are a 10/10 read more

I've accompanied my Zythophile husband here on two occasions, both times on sleepy Sunday afternoons. He appreciates the quality beer; I appreciate the barkeeps, both of whom have been noticeably charming and courteous given my lack of partaking in their brew. During yesterday's visit, I made myself a little picnic of what I had purchased at Other Avenues across the street, complete with chai, vegan donut, and açaí-dark-chocolate bites. None of this seemed to faze the kindly bartender. I appreciate the nostalgic sentiments of the place and the garden in the back, as well as their tiny selection of books to peruse. Definitely an Outer Sunset gem. read more

The perfect addition to this beachy neighborhood, the bar is cozy and retro and the main focal point of the space. There are four main beers that stay on the menu in addition to four rotating seasonal beers. I recently tried the Mango Mint Sour which was divine (and I usually like my beers dark!) They also sell delicious (albeit pricey at $6) empanadas. My favorite is the chicken and olive, but the mushroom is a great choice for non-meat lovers. read more

How is it possible I've not reviewed these folks yet? Pre-covid times: Love the long bar to hang at, but especially the heated outdoor patio that feels like it's some kind of secret garden. Adore the empanadas--the cheese one is just full of the most ridiculously tasty, melty cheddar. I don't know if just the one is possible. The beers, available for takeout right now, are fabulous. Myself, I prefer an easy-going low abv pils, but they've a range of really great beers to try. Additional: Every staff member I've encountered has been lovely. I dearly miss going in for a drink here as it's a lovely local spot for me. read more

The bartenders here are always welcoming and considerate. I love the atmosphere it's very casual and cozy. Limited seating is the only issue. Fire pit out back with cute plants is great though! read more

I didn't spend enough time here to give it a real confident 4 stars, but I enjoyed myself so 4 it is. They have interesting beer for sure. I wasn't blown away by any of them, but I was impressed with their innovation and creativity. They are dog and baby friendly if you have either of those. They have a small outdoor seating area which is always a plus. It's pretty small, but wasn't very busy when I went so maybe doesn't matter. I'd like to go back and try more from the menu. read more

An amazing brewery in the Sunset district. Clean and welcoming atmosphere, an added star for the dope back patio with the fire pit. The Super Cerveza and empanadas are chef's kiss, loved everything during my first time here. Big shoutout to Mel and to Woods Outbounds for great customer service and customer satisfaction. read more

I went here last night with a friend. I loved the back patio, sitting by the fire drinking the Chester Copperpot beer made me feel warm and fuzzy on different levels. We also tried the Morpho which was interesting and good. Definitely an acquired taste if you're not into herbal notes. The Mateveza IPA was also good, but I think my personal favorite was the Copperpot. I knocked a star off though because both times I went up to order a beer, I got short changed by a dollar and it was by two different bartenders. I don't know if they charge tax but even then, a full dollar...those precious dollars means a lot to a grad student. Altogether, I like the place. I would definitely go back. Next time, I'll inquire about a missing dollar if it happens again though. read more

We are so happy that Woods Beer Co has come outbound to the Hinterlands! There's next to nothing out here in terms of a good pint and trust me, we locals have been waiting. The beer is good, the space is nice. I can't wait to see what they do with it! Very nice people working -- mostly Outer Sunset crew will be manning the bar from what I hear. The owner was very nice -- they seem thrilled to be in the hood and we are so happy to have them here! Good stuff! read more
