Laughing Monk Brewing

Great vibes, better beers, and even trivia every once and a while. What more could you ask for in a brewery?? The beers were so good and the logo on the shirts satisfying enough for me to even snag a Tee to bring back home with me to DC. An ideal spot to stop if you have a bit of extra time in your way to the airport!

Funny how a negative can turn into a positive... had to evacuate lake tahoe... ended up in San Fran... found one of my new favorite breweries. Thank you so much for your hospitality and tasty beer.

Now that every beer in California is either a punishing IPA or a punishing Belgian quad, it's so welcome to find a place that renders a broad range of German, Belgian, and California styles impeccably. Decent taquería next door or do other takeout/delivery. Kid and pet friendly. Transit is painful but there's plenty of parking. Cool murals on the street, too.

Love a good neighborhood spot! Turn down the right street, and you’ll find yourself amongst a super interesting stretch of Bayview. Who knew?! Welp, Laughing Monk is right next door to Seven Stills. Andddd we started with Laughing Monk. Loving the chill vibes and the awesomely large seating area. For a Saturday midday, it was pretty empty. But fun times nonetheless. Apparently they get busier at night. I will say that I’m a bit disappointed in the staff. I was pretty excited about finding this brewery, having grown up in the neighborhood, and finally moving back. And honestly, I thought the staff would be more engaged is detailing the various options, and best choices for the flight of 5. When I explained it was my first time here, all I got was “we’re out of XX today”. Uhhh, okay. It’d be a 5-star experience if the staff was more lively...or plain helpful! For now, 4-stars.
