10Best Says

With more recognizable neighborhoods getting all the culinary attention, such as Haight-Ashbury or Mission, the foggy Sunset District is often overlooked as a residential neighborhood not worth the trip. But it's that very heart of the Sunset - an area for locals and families - that has made Social Kitchen and Brewery such a success. And not only does this charming spot right by Golden Gate Park really know how to make beer - Brewmaster Kim Sturdavant won the Gold Medal for 'Classic English - Style Pale Ale' at the renowned Great American Beer Festival in 2015 - they also have an impressive cocktail list for those who like their drinks less yeasty.
