Suppenküche (Civic Center)
Suppenküche is a great place to learn about and enjoy both familiar and unusual German beers (and a few Belgians). It’s a popular German restaurant with a small bar located in San Francisco’s Hayes Valley. They have 20 taps and offer about 10 bottled beers, again, mostly German with a few Belgians and a stray Czech. At least 1/3 of their taps rotate with seasonal or hard to find German beers. They are open common restaurant hours, 5:00 to 10:00 PM every day and are open 10:00 to 2:30 for Sunday brunch.
Extras: Well-informed bartenders, in lederhosen (though maybe not every day).
