50 Best Wine Bars near Larkspur

“Internos isn’t just a bar—it’s a place that feels like home. It’s where friends gather, where familiar faces always seem to circle back, and where the atmosphere is as warm as it is welcoming. The heart of it all is Tony. He’s one of the kindest people you’ll ever meet, and his genuine warmth makes every visit special. Honestly, I’d come back just to chat with him, but the drinks alone would keep me returning too. The beer list is excellent—great options on tap plus a thoughtful selection of cans—and the wines cover the full spectrum, so there’s something for everyone. It’s our favorite spot, hands down.“

“We were seated quickly and re River our food not long after:). Best pizza we have had in a while.“

“I stumbled upon Amelie for my birthday last year and have been back so many times and even celebrated my engagement there as well!! Bart, Fredo, and the rest of the staff are so fun & accommodating. Great spritzes, good happy hour, and fun vibes !!“

“The exceptional service is enough to put The Patio on my favorite list 😊“

“Amazing service and food!!!!“

“I had the opportunity to share in this experience with my Twin foodie. We started off with the Caviar Quintet and then proceeded to order the ENTIRE small plates menu. It was a culinary journey rooted in love for fresh foods and a passion for food that tastes good. I enjoyed the intimate setting and being able to watch the culinary chef in action as he prepared our dishes. This is a must if you enjoy dining experiences, good food, and good company. The menu changes seasonally so I will be back to experience more unique and flavorful dishes.“

“Super cute wine bar just across the street from Cafe Zoetrope. We were there for a calligraphy class but my daughter was feeling ill so we sat outside for a bit. The sommelier was kind and empathetic; he offered us waters and was talking to her to make her feel less embarrassed. While we were waiting, he even helped a lady park her car. So while we didn't have wine or food, the service is top notch and we'll go back!“

“Back2Back was an absolute gem. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the service hit the sweet spot between attentive and laid-back. The food? Next level. Fresh, high-quality ingredients prepared with real care—every bite was full of flavor and intention. You can tell the team loves what they do. I’ll definitely be back.“

“A delightful neighborhood venue 😊❗️“

“I recently hosted my birthday party here and everyone had a fantastic time! Sabrina and team were super welcoming and ran everything so smoothly. We did a flexible set-up with a minimum charged for wine & charcuterie and then cash bar after that, which is ideal for this type of event. This is a great event space for ~20-40 people, would highly recommend!“

“What an amazing and eclectic wine 🍷 list. Wines you won’t find anywhere else. Great food menu too.“

“My go-to wine bar with a full menu that’s diverse, delicious (Mediterranean and so fresh), and very fairly priced. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable about all the wines they offer. In particular, Tim, the head sommelier is a pleasure to talk to and has taught me so much about wine over my many visits. It’s rare to find spots like this where the service, food, and drinks are all aligned in value and quality. One of my staple recommendations to anyone visiting SF (try the filet kabobs and grilled halloumi!)“

“Perfect neighborhood spot to gather and unwind. Wine selection affordable and awesome and the 'little plates' are wonderful (meatballs FTW).“

“This is for the tasting room AND the Advent calendar from 2023.Tasting room - the woman who runs it is very experienced and we enjoyed chatting with her as she explained a variety of wines to us. There were some really delicious ones we had. One thing I found totally obnoxious and unhelpful were the descriptions of the wine. No joke - these were some descriptions. I was cringing so hard reading them.“Like a pair of silky red pajamas”“Like going on a 2nd date”They are trying too hard here to seem cool and it was embarrassing how useless the descriptions were. We are paying for wine, please describe it. This is not a creative writing class. Thank goodness the lady who ran the tasting room was there to give us further explanation about the actual flavor, aromatics or profile we should expect when tasting. She agreed the written descriptions were not as helpful as they could be but it was not her decision. We seriously would not have tried any of the wines just based on those descriptions. I had to knock off one star because of this.Advent calendar - was skeptical based on some shipping issues I read from the previous year. I got mine on time and the variety was good! I would say I really enjoyed about 70% and the 30% were interesting/good, not my favorite but cool to try. I would do it again next year.“

“Yeah this place rocks. Would totally 100% come back here. Bartender was incredible totally has a cool SF classic north beach bar vibe. Lots of room for everyone and a spectacular outside seating to just have a beer and watch the world go by. Come here for a wholesome local experience or for a fun dive bar vibe.

Had the ham sandwhich holy crap. For a dive bar it was kinda perfect. Bread that was toasted perfectly with a delicious jam. Come here.“

“Stopped in here for a late night drink which turned into 4 glasses of very good wine. The owner was very nice and the other girl working were very helpful in wine selections. Can’t rate the food because I only had drinks but definitely worth a stop in if you’re in the area.“

“My significant other and I were travelling down Hyde St on the cable car and passed this wine bar. As wine lovers, we knew we had to go back! What a treat! There is a great selection of delicious dry European wines. The atmosphere is intimate and inviting. Everyone in the bar including the owner were very friendly and helpful with other great recommendations in the area. I highly recommend visiting if you are a wine enthusiast.“

“No air-conditioning, so we went outside after we ordered and sat on the sidewalk with car exhaust and motorcycles roaring by. They have a good selection of tasty wines and the charcuterie platter presented well with a nice selection of meats and cheeses. Our first server didn't know anything about wine and confessed to only drinking reds so she brought over a second person who knew more.“

“We heard so much about this place, we came over from San Francisco specifically to try it out! What a perfect spot to have a taste of some amazing wines and an array of incredible cheeses and crackers. You walk inside and it’s a little shop with a bar counter on the right. You order what you like and sit outside and enjoy the beautiful view!! I am so looking forward to coming back on my next visit. Make it a point to stop in, you won’t be disappointed!!“

“My wife and I return each year on the anniversary of our first meeting at California Wine Merchant. Most recently, the owner Greg, took our photo and gave us a complimentary glass of Champagne to mark the occasion. He’s a great guy and his bar is a great place to meet up with friends, or maybe the love of your life.“

“Loved the Bump Bar. Had an early Valentine's Day and Late Anniversary dinner in Feb 11. Enjoyed sitting at the end of the bar. Hosts and chef were friendly and inviting. Enjoyed learning about the Japanese grill used on the trout and steak dishes (which were delicious) never had potatoes prepared like the potato dish we had that night. Really enjoyed the California Caviar Company house flight of Caviar. We will go back again in the future. Thank you for a great night.“

“We had a lovely trip to Tiburon and started at this wine bar. We both ordered champagne flights, but my only complaint was that the flight didn’t clearly indicate one of the servings would be Cremant. As a restaurant owner who works with plant-based wines, I’m familiar with Cremant—it doesn’t agree with me and always makes me sick. When the host began serving it, I immediately declined and asked for a substitution. She kindly gave me a double pour of the rosé instead, and we both agreed the second brut was our favorite.

The staff were friendly, the vibes were chill, but the space itself is small and felt a bit cold. One host gave us great recommendations for nearby spots, and another pointed us to the best fries in town—Sam’s definitely delivers on that!

Overall, I’d come back here for a glass of wine, especially for a cozy date night.“

“The view is comfortable and the dishes are exquisite. It is highly recommended.“

“The best! Great hospitality; Lalo is a great cook!“

“Wonderful restaurant with terrific food and service. We share the seasonal salad and the stuffed calamari to start. Both were excellent. My wife had a wonderful pasta stuffed with pea puree and in a pea sauce. I had a stuffed pasta with cheese. Both were exceptional. The olive oil cake finished the night. Fine wine list with many affordable offerings. We had a bottle of Arnie's and it was just right. The service is very attentive from the reception to the goodby.“

“The downstairs lounge is an amazing space to host private dinners. There is no noise interference from the outside, the bank vault feel gives is a very special atmosphere, and the staff were very efficient and friendly in looking after us. For private events in SF, this is now our go-to option! Oh, and the cocktails were absolutely outstanding - many participants told me that!“

“What an intimate special dinning experience !“

“Beautifully appointed rooms. Charming contemporary and calming.“

“I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant. I am a business owner a few doors down and I wandered in with a friend after work one night about a month ago. We were met with such incredible warmth from the staff and the environment itself, even without a reservation. We sat at the bar and were greeted by Josh, only to find out later that he is the owner. He made excellent recommendations on everything from our drinks to dessert. The bar didn’t feel isolated from the rest of the restaurant and guests, but rather was lively hub frequented by kitchen and serving staff and warmed by a smoldering wood fire. The coziest. We swooned for the poke appetizer, complete with house-made toasted, but not crisp, blue corn tortillas. The pork shoulder tacos—also to die for. I have to say though, that the star on the sidelines was the beans. I honestly didn’t know I could feel this way about beans…but I digress. Josh bounced around from table to table all night, never letting a single ball drop, making every guest feel like *his* guest. A pot de crème sealed the evening in perfect bliss. I’m back a month later with the same friend, eating different and somehow even more incredible entrees: ribeye, halibut and a rhubarb crisp for dessert. I scarcely ever take the time to write a review as I prefer to vote with my $ and my feet, but I simply couldn’t eat here again without taking the time to sing it’s praises. Eat here.“

“Lovely friendly Italian wine bar and delicious restaurant. Fresh innovative salads, pastas and main courses. Highly recommended.“

“My favorite thing here is the linguine with mussels. I never order anything else, so I can't really comment on the rest of the menu. My husband had the burger, which he thought was fine, and the couple behind us had the skirt steak which he wished he'd ordered. Wine and beer list is great.“

“Excellent Peking Duck but served as only 1 course. Had to wait b20 minutes for our 7:30 reservations. Service was good but not at a professional level. Wine choices are limited but all in all a very good experience and will return when back in the city.“

“Affordable price, great taste“

“The food is artisan caliber, the atmosphere is welcoming and intimate, and our family GOTO!! ❤❤❤❤❤“

“We had a wonderful experience at New Delhi Indian Cuisine in San Rafael. We ordered Palak Paneer, Paneer Tikka Masala, Dal Makhani, Veg Momo, and Chicken Tikka Masala — and every dish was absolutely delicious. The food arrived relatively quickly, was piping hot, and full of rich, authentic flavors.

Everyone at our table loved the meal, and we especially appreciated the generous portions. The taste truly reminded us of how Indian food is meant to be — just like what you’d get in India.

Highly recommend this place for anyone craving flavorful, comforting Indian cuisine. We’ll definitely be back!“

“The food and wine are fantastic!“

“Good service, delicious food, nice atmosphere, nothing to complain about“

“Wonderful food and service. Highly recommend!“

“Very authentic Thai food. Casual environment. Love their dessert and the shrimp paste fried rice.“

“I had the pleasure of dining at Lokanta, and I must say, it was an incredible experience! The food was absolutely delicious – every dish was perfectly seasoned and full of flavor. The staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring we felt welcome and well taken care of. The ambiance was cozy yet elegant, making it a perfect spot for a memorable meal.

If you’re looking for amazing food and excellent service, I highly recommend Lokanta. I can’t wait to come back and try more from their menu!“

“My go-to when I'm in town! Fantastic food and service. Highly recommend!“

“An amazing restaurant with an interesting history and spectacular view of the Bay. Great service and food. And the Caprice is fully wheelchair accessible. Thanks for a great dining experience!“

“Highly recommend Best coffee in San Francisco ☕️“

“When I can’t sleep, I remember the time I had dinner here and I miss the taste of this place.“

“food is top notch and the bar always manages to overcome being buried!!“

“Favorite bar in SF. Friendly bartenders and chill crowd.“

“Popped in here on a day trip. The owner was super friendly very friendly especially is hot wheels joke. Definitely if you are in Tiburon stop by and see Jerry at Tiburon wine we'll worth it.we will definitely come in next time we are in Tiburon“

“I must say i had high hopes but the meal was tasteless but my friends had too much salt. I wanted to like it. Wont return, wont recommend. ☹“

“Indie wine bar has been consistently wonderful from the day it opened. They have a wide ranging, unique wine selection, almost all available by the glass and bottle, and moderately priced. Food is good too, though a limited menu. Service is always great.“

“Came for Happy Hour on a Monday and unfortunately didn't have the best experience. We waited at the door for about 5-6 minutes before being acknowledged, and the inside was almost empty. The bartender was talking with someone, and there was no server/host/hostess, so we awkwardly stood there, glancing at the menus. There was a sign that said, please wait to be seated, so we didn't want to barge in, but there was no acknowledgment from the bartender that she would be right with us, so it was an unfriendly welcome. Additionally, we searched for someone to order, so we gave up and went to the bar. Also, we grabbed a bottle of water because we couldn't catch anyone's attention. The menu is what they have online. We had a glass of the Cabernet Sauv and Sauvignon Blanc, which was nothing too special but decent pours for happy hour. We also got the grilled cheese and BBQ Chicken Slider. The grilled cheese was a very large portion but quite bland. However, if you're looking for quantity, it's great. The slider was quite flavorful, but for $7, I expect more than a single slider of that size. Though they don't advertise it to be multiple sliders, they aren't purposely misleading. Overall, might come back on a more lively evening, but wouldn't go out of my way to make it back.“
