Great beer selection, fun location, etc. But what we really need to talk about? The empanadas. Absolutely exquisite. They’re all bangers but the traditional beef is absurd. Perfectly spiced, indulgently flaky and rich pastry without being heavy.

Cute drink spot in Outer sunset! Great natural wine and beer selections! Pet friendly outdoor seatings are available too!

Empanadas are literally better by an order of magnitude than anything I found in Santiago Chile a few years ago. Great beer all around too. Would love to go nuts supporting the business but seems a little unintentionally reckless to be burning so much gas in the extremely cute backyard fire pit even when no ones out there. And the single-use plastic cups for water seemed unnecessary, should have asked for a glass, felt a little guilty there. The next time Im back if those two issues are addressed I pledge to spend $100+ dollars. Seriously love this place, thank you for making it work in the Sunset!

Came for the Double IPA, and when they didn't have it in stock, left with the Great Highway West Coast IPA. Staff described it as 'Clean.' I would add delicious. ❤ the label too.

Loved my matenegro, a black lager made with yerba mate that had head like a Guinness, but while full bodied it was smoother/silkier than Guinness. I don't drink often, and when I do it's a pleasant surprise when I really enjoy it. I have an overall 5 stars, and only took off one star in the "atmosphere" section because the music was too loud. But do take context that I think most bars and restaurants are too loud in general. I'd come back here regardless. I lived in Santiago de Chile a little over a decade ago... And didn't try the empanadas today. Next time. Bonus points for being dog friendly. 🐾💓🐾

Great spot for beers, empanadas and natural wine. The outdoor seating has a fire pit, and the parklets have heaters. It’s dog friendly.

Some great beer to be had here! (5/5 green stars) Woods Outbound (to use the official name) is the fifth branch of Woods Beer and a perfect spot to relax after a hike through Golden Gate Park or a trip to the beach. It’s a tight space, but that’s sometimes a good thing in a bar and they do also have two fair-sized tables near the window. The young chap behind the bar was very friendly and a testament to what hospitality should be. Beer: we tried 4 of them ($6-$9) and found them all to be interesting and some exceptional – for me the standout was the Local Honey ($8). We also had two empanadas ($6 ea.) – the Acelga (Swiss chard, gruyere, pine nuts) and Fugazetta (cheese and onion) – and felt that the pastry was wonderful but the fillings were a little bit disappointing. The cheese empanada was a little empty – we may have received a lemon. It’s a pity, because I’ve had El Porteño’s alfajores before at the Ferry Building and they were amazing. The beer is perhaps a touch on the pricey side – for example, $9 for their Smooch. But considering the ingredients (they put something like 10 lbs of raspberries into each barrel for that beer) it I think it’s not crazy. I’m giving them 5/5 “green stars” for social and environmental impact, based on these reasons: • Woods are best known for incorporating yerba mate into some of their beer. They source their mate from EcoTeas, who grow it organically, use green energy and are the first “water-neutral” tea company. • Their Morpho beer ($9 for 22 oz. bottle) is an organic herbal ale (also incorporating mate). Organic beer is fairly uncommon – some larger breweries (like New Belgium) had trouble selling theirs at the higher price point. • Their empanadas are made by El Porteño, who tend to use pretty good ingredients (mine had locally-sourced organic chard, others have Prather Ranch grass-fed beef, etc.) • Empanadas are served in a simple brown paper bag. • Of course, the beer is locally-brewed, reducing transport emissions and carbon footprint. • Woods are exploring interesting alternative ingredients for their beer, such as yams.

Great spot for beer and empanadas. My favorite Woods location. Fire pit in the back yard is the best part!

Sparse local tap room. The beers are sometimes too unique for my taste by appreciate that someone is making that kind of stuff. Cool little fire pit back area
