Delicious Helles Beer and Great Views
My experience was fantastic! I had what I believe was the most tastiest helles beer I've ever tried. The price was a true bargain, especially considering the location and the high quality of the beer. The view is also great, particularly on days with fewer boats in the docks. I visited after watching the airshow and doing the Alcatraz tour, and it was the perfect place to relax and enjoy a refreshing beer.

Good beer, bad service
My experience at this restaurant was marked by the most unfriendly encounter with the guy behind the bar during my San Francisco visit. However, the beer was good.

Ignored at the Bar, Walked Out
I sat at the bar for 10 minutes. The bartender didn't say hello and proceeded to help four different groups before acknowledging me. Due to the lack of attention, I decided to walk out.

Great prices and space, but restroom access is a walk!
My experience at the restaurant was marked by great prices and plenty of space. However, it's important to note that you do have to go out to the main pier to use the restroom. This is just an FYI for future visitors.

Great IPA, Okay Prices
My experience was centered around the Super IPA Bier! We did not order any food. The prices were okay, though leaning towards expensive for the location and setting.

Amazing Beer and Great Bartenders!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic, primarily due to their amazing beer. I particularly enjoyed the 'Socks & Sandles' brew, which I could drink every day. The two bartenders working were very nice and cool. I visited twice during my week-long stay near Pier 39 in San Francisco, coming all the way from Cochrane, Alberta. I regret not visiting more often and can't wait to return to drink more. As a self-proclaimed HUGE beer snob who only drinks craft beer, I absolutely loved the beer selection here.

Great Craft Beer and Location
My experience at Humble Sea was a wonderful surprise. I discovered their beers at a craft festival in the UK the previous year, which even surprised the bar staff. The location is brilliant, with outdoor seating by the water. They offer top quality craft beers, and the staff were friendly and happy to provide recommendations. While I can't comment on the food as we didn't eat there, if you're seeking a good beer and a break from tourist traps, Humble Sea should be your destination!

QR Code Ordering Issues for Foreigners
My experience at this restaurant involved ordering through a QR code, which presented a problem for foreign customers whose credit cards lack US zip codes. This meant I still had to go to the bar to complete my order. This was particularly inconvenient as it's a super touristic place.

Gem on the Bay: Great Beer & Views
My experience at Humble Sea Brewing in San Diego was absolutely fantastic! It's a gem and one of the best brewery stops I've made. The location is incredible, situated right on the bay with a huge outdoor patio perfect for relaxing and enjoying amazing waterfront views. The environment is laid-back and welcoming, making it easy to spend an entire afternoon. The service was excellent – friendly, fast, and knowledgeable about the beers. I specifically tried four of their hazy IPAs, which they are known for, and each one was high quality and bursting with flavor. It's evident the team takes pride in their brewing process. Although they don't serve food, the adjacent "Taco Cantina" delivers directly to your table, which is a huge plus. The combination of great beer and fresh tacos made the visit even better. I highly recommend Humble Sea for beer lovers, IPA fans, and anyone seeking a great patio vibe by the water, especially if you're looking for something unique beyond the usual tourist spots.
