Beach Chalet has the best view of any brewpub in the world.  It is located on The Great Highway, right across the street from Ocean Beach.  One of the coolest things to do is to go the pub a little while before sunset, grab a few beers, and watch the sky explode into thousands of colors as the sun sinks below the horizon. 

This is the view from the windows in the dining room of the restaurant.  You will often see surfers cutting up some waves during the day.

Here are some views during the day.  The picture on the right looks up towards the Cliff House and the North end of Ocean Beach.

The restaurant is on the top floor of the building.  The bottom floor is the City of San Francisco museum and store.  The walls downstairs are covered with murals and mosaics like the one above.

It is pretty easy to get to the Beach Chalet.  It's right across the street from the ocean - that's about all you need to know.  Here's a map:
