Microbrews with views: watch Pacific sunsets through pint glasses of the Beach Chalet's Riptide Red ale from the comfort of the upstairs dining room. Downstairs, splendid 1930s Works Project Administration (WPA) frescoes celebrate the building of Golden Gate Park. In the backyard, laid-back sister restaurant Park Chalet hosts raucous 4pm to 6pm weekday happy hours, plus lazy brunches and live music at weekends.
