Monk's Kettle S.F.

Stopped into the Monk's Kettle prior to seeing Nick Cave on Saturday night. Located in the Mission, right across from the Kilowatt and conveniently located by the 16th st BART station.



The place is pretty small, seating 49. We were lucky enough to grab a table by the bar soon as we got in. Overheard the door guy telling people coming that the wait for a table was 2 hours. Yikes.



25 or so taps of all craft , Belgian, & other rare brews. An impressive bottle list as well. On tap during my visit: Avery Ale To The Chief, Stone Oaked Arrogant Bastard, Lagunitas Hop Stoopid, Dogfish Head Punkin Ale, Allagah Curieux, Koningshoeven Quad, and lots more. Very nice selection.



The food menu consists of all high quality & house made items. The menu also suggests a couple beer pairings for each selection as well. Nice touch.

We started out with a housemade pretzel that was AWESOME. Served with house made cheddar ale sauce & ground mustard. This isn't my pic.



We had sandwiches for dinner. I had the Salmon sandwich on a baguette that was really good & Ronda had a burger with local arugala & blue cheese sauce. Look forward to going back to try some of their entrees.




The world needs more eateries like this that showcase beer as much as the well made food.
