Toronado Craft Beer, San Francisco Listed For Sale


I've heard the service was crappy and they were intolerant of lots of people. Hopefully it gets replaced by something better.

I'd been to Toronado a couple of times over the years. Totally get why it took hold with a punk kind of ethos combined with a good beer selection that was ahead of the curve.

I looked back at something I wrote and made an insinuation that their service was like Toronto's (i.e. somewhat inattentive), so if visiting from Toronto, it would be familiar.

No slight intended to today's servers, but I do recall a period of Toronto's bar scene before the rise of split cheques and increased bar service that service was quite frustrating around here.

Kind of funny that I had these expectations of what the service would be like at Toronado and it was simply what I was used to all the time at home.
