ThirstyBear Brewing Co. is the first restaurant in the United States to combine artisan brewing with authentic Spanish cuisine. Critics worldwide have praised ThirstyBear’s beer and food since 1996 when the San Francisco Chronicle named us as one of the five best new restaurants in the Bay Area. Our beers have won critical acclaim and numerous awards in both local and international competitions.

ThirstyBear Brewing Co. serves nine distinct beer styles on any given day. We explore a wide variety of classic beer styles, reinterpreting some and inventing others. Our philosophy is to carefully choose the exact proportions of a few, select malt and hop varieties to insure that each beer is well-balanced, yet distinctive and consistent.

ThirstyBear Brewing Co. combines the finest traditional ingredients from Spain, including manchego cheese, jamon serrano, chorizo sausage, olive oil, and piquillo peppers with the finest and freshest California produce to create an assortment of mouth watering tapas and paellas as well as soups salads and sandwiches for lunch.

ThirstyBear offers a full bar including an outstanding selection of Spanish wines, specialty cocktails and single malt scotches. Now beer, wine and cocktail lovers can go to the same restaurant for an excellent meal and to enjoy artisan beers and drinks.

The idea of brewing fresh, hand-crafted beers with authentic Spanish cuisine was conceived and developed by Ron Silberstein, a former immigration attorney turned brewmaster-entrepreneur. ThirstyBear Brewing Co. poured its first lusciously smooth pint of beer on September 13, 1996.

ThirstyBear Brewing Co. has private party/banquet facilities, pool tables and dart boards. On Sunday evenings, we will enchant you with the finest live, weekly Flamenco show in the Bay Area – there is no cover charge. The Brewery and restaurant are housed in a beautiful historic brick building directly across the street from the Moscone Center and the Yerba Buena Center for the Performing Arts (including the SFMOMA).
