Brewcade is San Francisco’s first iteration of the new genre of craft beer bars featuring vintage electronic arcade games. The games, music and neon are fun but they shouldn’t distract you from a well selected tap list, 24 deep, featuring mostly California selections. This is complemented by a sizable and varied bottle list. The servers know their beers and are helpful in navigating the draft and bottle selections. There is also a nice selection of soft drinks as well as one line reserved for coffee. Small bar snacks are available and they encourage customers to order food in from local restaurants.
Extras: Google may suggest 15th, but walking 16th Street is more fun. You’ll pass vibrant restaurants for two blocks, then traverse a residential area near the church that anchored the first European settlement of SF, Mission Dolores. Brewcade is also within easy walking distance of Toronado on Haight Street or Cerveceria on 18th Street for a change of atmosphere.
