What People Are Saying About Magnolia
The Editor
Patrick Heig
Citysearch
Magnolia has shed its pathcouli-oiled past for a modern/retro aesthetic and an ambitious gastropub menu. Turn-of-the-century fixtures and antique tchotchkes accent a dark, minimalist interior, pew-like booth seats and a communal table with great views of the always lively Haight-Masonic intersection. The attentive waitstaff serve up locavoracious man-foodie fare like fried sausages, ribs and pulled pork sandwiches along with some lighter fare, and the beloved (and well-priced) mirco-beers brewed in Magnolia's basement are still on tap, although the setup is more conducive to table-dining than…

They destroyed all of the paintings!
by pablitojoe at Citysearch
They painted over all of the paintings with some awful gold paint! I just heard the word from my girlfriend who went there today. She was so sick she couldn't stay. It seems like some idiot bought the place and remodeled it to look like I don't know what, like some room painted with automobile gold paint. I hadn't gone there for awhile and I don't think I'll be going there again.
- Cons: They destroyed all the paintings!

Beer Good - Food Bad
by adamjam at Citysearch
How can anyone eat here, unless of course they are so drunk from the delicious beer that they don't realize the 40 minute wait for food or the poor quality and crazy high prices.
I like the beer, not love but a strong like. No one can complain too much about the quality or selection of on-site brew.
On the other hand, how do you mess up a salad so much that even after 2 send backs it is still inedible?
We ordered a sandwich that was mediocre at best and a salad that might be the worst one ever served in San Francisco. The tab for these 2 items (not including beer) was almost $40. After we finished our pints we walked down the road and got a few slices.
Go for the beer - eat elsewhere
- Pros: Beer
- Cons: Food and service

Best Brewpub in the Haight
by PatelY at Citysearch
I like this place a lot. It's always warm when the wind is blowing and it's one of the few places where you can get a burger and a glass of cava. The wait staff are efficient and always treat the solo diner very well. Also, they have very good beer - have a glass or three while you hang out at the bar.
- Pros: Great beer and wine list
- Cons: Can get crowded
The Details on Magnolia
Where to sit:
The booths are cozy but a little cramped. Grab a seat at the communal table, or one of the two-tops near the window for great people watching.
Parking:
You can usually find a spot in the Haight, but only after patient circling; luckily the 6,7, 71 and 44 MUNI lines stop right in front of the restaurant.
The Extras:
For novices, the instructive menu has a detailed breakdown of many available beers.
