Upcider

Almost 20 different ciders on tap: a rarity in SF. Everything from sweet to tart, even some funky ones. Give them a taste before you commit if you have a hard time deciding. I didn't try the food since I wasn't sure how vegan friendly the dishes would be, but I'll give them a shot next time since the staff seemed willing to accommodate. Happy hour sweetens the deal: $8 drafts and 25% off food from 5-7pm.

From the moment you step into Upcider, you're enveloped in an atmosphere that's as inviting as it is exhilarating.

Every visit here has been a testament to their unwavering commitment to excellence. The food is a culinary adventure, showcasing flavors that are both innovative and comforting. Whether you're a foodie or someone who appreciates good, hearty meals, Upcider never disappoints. But what truly sets this place apart is the staff. They're not just employees; they're passionate about their work, making every interaction memorable. Their attentiveness and genuine care elevate the dining experience to new heights. The ambiance is another aspect where Upcider truly shines. It's a family-friendly environment by day and a cozy retreat by night. The full-length windows offer an amazing view of the city, making it an ideal spot for laptop work or just to unwind and soak in the beauty of San Francisco. In summary, Upcider is a rare find in the bustling cityscape—a place where every visit is a delightful journey and every moment is worth cherishing. Highly recommended for anyone looking to savor great food, exceptional service, and a heartwarming atmosphere.

Upcider is a classic Polk street spot. You have a great view to people watch and enjoy delicious ciders. I usually get the flat bread and some form of fries- they haven’t disappointed me yet! The staff/owners are really friendly too and they play good music. They also have some beers on tap if you don’t prefer cider.

Easily within my Top 5 bars to visit in Lower Nob Hill. Many cider options to choose from- always hard to decide. Food is incredible! You can't go wrong with their flatbreads, esp the wild mushroom flavoured. Laid back & casual ambiance here. Open seating. Bartenders are personable. Plus the large windows with panoramic street views are hard to beat! This is a great mainstay bar in the neighborhood.

This place is a great hidden gem!!! They had 18 ciders on tap - plus even more in bottles. I was really impressed with how well curated their variety of flavours, brands and sweetness levels were ❤️ you can really tell they tried to get a cider for everyone’s taste! You can get any of their ciders on tap by the glass, or in a tasting flight (my fav). We were served by Rose who was FANTASTIC and super knowledgeable. If you’re a cider fan or just looking for something unique to try definitely check this place out.

Best cider Bar! Only had 20hrs in San Francisco and this place is Amazing. When looking for Gastropubs in San Francisco, Upcider is the place to try. We had pull pork and Cajun chicken sandwich and the cauliflowers as an appetizer. Ozzy was a great host, and made great recommendations for their hard cider. Coming from Manhattan, this a must try!

This place is my go-to for a drink/brunch in the neighborhood. The ambiance is always relaxed (even during the weekend evenings), and the staff are super friendly and helpful! If you want to bring a group of friends to hang out there, they also do reservations as well. Beer and cider menus have their established brands on the menu, and rotating beers and ciders on tap. The food is AMAZING and always fresh! Highly recommend their brunch menu, and their meatballs dish. Any bar food essentials are also very tasty. All in all, I love Upcider because it's my place to unwind after a long day, and/or a place to bring my friends to hang out. This establishment will always have a place in my heart (and my belly).
