Otherwise Brewing is a gluten-free craft brewery and taproom in North Beach, a short walk from the busier bar blocks but still in the middle of the neighborhood. The room is straightforward and relaxed, with a small bar and casual table seating where people tend to stay for a couple of drinks rather than rush through. The tap list focuses entirely on beers brewed with naturally gluten free grains, covering a mix of lighter options, hoppy styles, and darker beers, so groups with mixed dietary needs can usually all drink from the same menu.

Non-beer drinkers will usually find a few alternatives, and simple bar food like hot dogs shows up at many events.

Entertainment here leans local and low-key. The venue hosts regular live jazz, from small groups like the Matt Bae Jazz Trio to Sunday early-evening sets with vocalists such as Marissa McLain, which fit the mellow feel of the space. There are also recurring themed nights like Beers with Soul, where Booker D plays soul, funk, and R&B 45s while people hang out over drinks and snacks. On other nights the upstairs area may be used for things like speed dating or paint-and-sip classes, so it is worth checking the specific event listing to know whether to expect a background soundtrack or a more structured gathering.

Otherwise Brewing opened its dedicated taproom in North Beach after starting up as a gluten free brewery in San Francisco in 2021. The place now serves as the main spot to try its beers fresh, with indoor seating and a permitted parklet area that is sometimes used for amplified music during scheduled events.
