50 Best Wine Bars near Richmond

“We discovered The Study Wine Bar after warching the Richmond Marina 4th of July fireworks celebration on July 3, and it turned out to be a fun surprise. We only planned to have a glass of wine, but ended up staying for karaoke! While the wine was average, the atmosphere was fantastic—lively, welcoming, and full of energy. It was a great place to relax, enjoy the music, and spend the evening. We'd definitely come back for the fun vibe.“

“Had an amazing time here! The staff and service were superb. We had a reservation and had to wait just a little bit and when we got to our table we were served with a few dishes sent by the staff. Really kind of them. Definitely will return!“

“If you've ever been to Les Deux Magots in St. Germain, this is the spot to check out, hang out, sip, while snacking on something freshly made in front of you.
The ambiance will get you first, the attention to detail say's a lot about the love put into La Loulou. The service is fabulous, they will remember your last drink. I'm a quirky 'orderer' and they remembered the nuance of how I like my drink.
Also, don't forget to checkout the bathroom.
Merci!!!“

“Charming, with a hip, understated, classic,
slightly retro vibe. Excellent food and wine selection. Not inexpensive, but that’s true of most nice places in the bay area.. they specialize in expensive but tasty small bites, not entrees“

“What an intimate special dinning experience !“

“Thrilled to share a five-star review for Henry, Kylie Ann and Alta Vina. I've been a customer here since they opened in June 2025, and I'm so impressed by the thought, care and love that have gone into building this business in its first year.

Henry is a wine expert who's always thinking of how to enhance the space, elevate the experience and refine the selection of wines he serves. His focus on finding the best small batch wines from California (Alta and Baja!) is laser-sharp and is matched only by his focus on finding new, meaningful, fun ways to bring in new customers and regulars alike.

Henry and the whole team are so welcoming to everyone who comes in the door. My partner, my dog and I always feel at home when we stop by.

Highly recommended.“

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

“Beautiful space. Alicia and her team are lovely hosts as well. I’ll be back again soon!“

“Amazing service and food!!!!“

“Hidden gem of Sausalito! It’s a small scale restaurant where the chef if cooking in front of you simply amazing Michelin-3-star-level food. Don’t come here just for caviar that you can simply buy at a store. Come for the chef’s amazing cooking!“

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

“This is a lovely little wine bar! Excellent selection, and the owner was kind enough to put together a little charcuterie board for one person (although the normal size serves 2-3).

I highly recommend stopping by for a glass and a nibble if you’re shopping in the area - very relaxing space.“

“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!“

“A delightful neighborhood venue 😊❗️“

“If you are a caviar lover, you have to go here. They have caviar from their own farm and it is a sustainable operation. The prices are fair for caviar. No, it’s not cheap, but if you consider a small spoonful of caviar at a restaurant is upwards of $50, it’s a solid price. My favorite caviars/roes I’ve tried in order of enjoyment: golden osetra, osetra, estate, baerii, truffled whitefish roe. If you are curious about caviar, Tsar Nicoulai is the best place to give it a try at a reasonable price. Their caviar is wonderful.“

“A popular spot for a reason!! The vibe is very fun. Sometimes you can get dancing on tables on weekends - it depends. Seats fill up fast.
One note: they could make the outdoor area more lively so more people are inclined to sit there. Right now there are some great seating options but the vibe pales to inside.
Maybe add some lights? Low volume music? Water station?

Servers / bar tenders are all super nice“

“A wonderful addition to the Westbrae neighborhood! We've been watching and waiting and yesterday my husband and I discovered Adega Azul is finally open. Inviting atmosphere, friendly owner, a thoughtfully curated collection of wines for sale. And a charming place for an afternoon glass of rosé and savory Brazilian pastries.“

“Everything we had was excellent. I hate beets but the beet salad was amazing and I would order it myself next time. Amazing restaurant, amazing food and great experience. I'll definitely go back the next time I am in SF. Back to Back is a gem in a city that has much less to offer these days.“

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

“We are vegetarian and were looking for something healthy to eat in the neighbourhood. The Roaming Goat had some great options. We especially loved the dates stuffed with cheese, the dips and the halloumi. We sat on the patio which was nice and quaint. The falafels could be improved, they tasted raw on the inside. Otherwise it’s definitely a place I’d come back to. 👍🏽“

“Kelly and Gisele are the best! Squalo Vino has a great energy, excellent rotating selection of high quality both by-the-glass and on the bottle list, and an awesome wine club! Tasty small plates to keep the party going. A must visit in Tiburon, even if you only have time for glass!“

“I honestly don’t even know where to begin. From start to finish, it was the most mind-blowing experience I’ve ever had.

We met this beautiful, joyful woman named Luka, who was so kind. She sat us down at the bar, where we enjoyed some lovely drinks. They also gave us happy hour oysters, which were, of course, delicious.

Then we were seated at our table, where we got to meet the whole team. Each person individually welcomed us and attended to all our needs. Even the head chef came out personally, greeted us, and offered us items from the menu as a gesture of kindness—which, honestly, I don’t feel we even deserved.

The food was absolutely amazing. Everything was so delicious, and the flavors never clashed. I truly don’t have a single bad word to say. I can’t wait for them to receive their first Michelin star—they all deserve it.

I will definitely be coming back. Thank you to all the wonderful people for the hard work they put in—not just in bringing the food out quickly, but in doing so with love and care.

Thank you again.“

“Just a warning, this is the last place in SF that doesn’t yet accept Tap-to-Pay/Mobile Payments. Also, their ‘suggested tip’ amounts on the receipts included Tax in the total. The place is nice enough & their cocktail and wine is good, but the dealings feel a little sketchy.“

“If you're in the mood for a great night out, this bar is a hidden gem that delivers in both food and atmosphere. As soon as you walk through the door, you're greeted by a warm, inviting ambiance. The lighting is soft but not too dim, the décor is cozy yet stylish, and the sound level strikes a perfect balance — lively enough to feel energizing, but quiet enough to carry on a conversation without shouting.

The food is what truly sets this place apart. While many bars serve standard snacks or pre-packaged appetizers, this one takes its menu seriously. Every dish is thoughtfully prepared and packed with flavor. The appetizers, including hummus and pita, or seasoned steak or chicken skewers are perfect for sharing over drinks.

The bar staff is friendly and knowledgeable, happy to recommend drinks based on your preferences or suggest food pairings. The cocktail list is creative and the beer selection is varied, making it easy to find something that suits your taste.

What makes this bar truly special, though, is its welcoming atmosphere. The staff makes an effort to connect with patrons, and it’s clear that regulars are made to feel like family. Whether you’re there for a casual drink, a light meal, or a night out with friends, this bar hits all the right notes. It’s a place that feels like a home away from home — comfortable, fun, and full of great vibes.

Highly recommended for anyone looking for delicious food, a great drink, and a place where they can relax and enjoy the company of others!“

“1) Wine was so good and service was excellent. They are so nice here and passionate about their craft!2) If you buy a two bottles then a tasting flight is free. Would recommended starting with a flight and using that to pick which bottles to get.3) After we bought two bottles, we decided to cork one on the spot, and they waived the corking fee, very kindly of them.Thanks for a great experience!“

“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.“

“A grown and sexy lounge that is also cigar friendly but very casual and minimal. Incredibly GOOD live music including jazz and salsa. The quality of the musicians cannot be overstated! They hold various events so check their website for what’s upcoming. Love their live music if you can’t tell! 💕“

“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!!“

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

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

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

“The Peking duck was fabulous and juicy! We got a half, which we were surprised how little it was. We should have had a full. You have to reserve the duck before you get there.

We had a meat roll I think it was. It was amazing! My friends mom doesn’t like spicy so we got this roll. Highly recommend! Lots of veggies and excellent sauce!“

“I’ve died at Perle now about four times. Chef Rob Lam and staff do a great job. I took some photos and wrote about my August 2023 visit on @TalesoftheCork. Highly recommend, and will return.“

“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.“

“Stopped by for dinner on a Monday night. Took my son who is a picky eater and he loved everything we had. We started with the house cut fries with truffle aioli. They were hot and well seasoned, and definitely a generous portion. My kid went through 4 containers of aioli. Then we had the crispy spiced chicken wings, which were in fact perfectly crispy, well seasoned and paired with an awesome tamarind sauce. We finished off with a pepperoni pizza, perfect crust, tasty sauce and a good amount of pepperoni and basil. Hats off to Chef James and his team for the great food. My son and I definitely did a happy dance with each bite.

The drinks were tasty as well. I had a regular margarita and a delicious mezcal based margarita, I can't remember the name of it. Bartender Aaron and our server Reily went above in beyond in making sure we had everything we needed.

It was a fantastic experience and will absolutely be coming back again and recommending the place to friends and family.“

“Short wait on a Friday night for 7 of us. Really small place but the wait staff and owner very friendly and everyone was very happy with their meal. If I lived here I would go back.“

“My daughter took me and the hubby here for our Thanksgiving celebration since she couldn't come home (Sac) for actual Thanksgiving, we went to her. This was a night I won't soon forget! Having a nice meal with our daughter was a treat, the service was amazing and the food....OMG! Every bite of every dish I tasted was so so delicious! I can't get the butternut soup out of my head it was THAT good! We all ordered different food & shared bites with one another. This night was so enjoyable! Thank you, Sis & Thank you Mama Oakland!“

“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. ☹“

“味道很不错值得尝试一下！😁😁😁“

“Great atmosphere and delicious food! Outdoor dining, too!“

“We’re visiting from out of town, and I came here with a friend who drove in from San Jose to spend the day with. We went on a Saturday for brunch, and we got the breakfast pizza to share with a side of bacon and roasted potatoes. The pizza and bacon were delicious, but the potatoes I would pass. I think they were over cooked and bland.

Also got a cafe au lait, and it was served in bowl! Super cute.“

“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.“

“Affordable price, great taste“

“Roses is is a great choice if you are looking for a really special restaurant for a private party. Great food and great atmosphere. Try the Japanese Old Fashion cocktail.“

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

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

“My husband and I were recently recommended to try Dolly’s restaurant and we’re so glad we did. From the moment we walked in, the whole experience felt relaxed and welcoming. The hosts and owners were incredibly warm and friendly.

The food was delicious. We loved the cheese wheel pasta, the bread and tomato salad, and they also had a really good wine selection. As a small business owner myself, I always appreciate supporting local family-owned spots that truly care about good food and good service. Dolly’s is definitely one of those places. We’ll absolutely be back.“
