50 Best Wine Bars in San Francisco

“Really clean, cute space. Staff is amazing. Hard to find a true local and well run place to eat. Prices are fine, clearly not cheap but the food and experience reflects it. Food was amazing. Literally best quiche I’ve ever had. It was perfect and plenty. Will be back with a date. Perfect spot for this. Lively, interesting but not loud and obnoxious.“

“The food in this restaurant is delicious, I hope you have time to try it.“

“buddy has a great vibe but the true star of the show here is the Ilna pop up! We’ve begun to make it a Sunday tradition given the constantly shifting seasonal menu of modern Mediterranean. We’ve been wowed every time but I’d say the various duck confit iterations remain the star of the show.“

“We celebrated our wedding anniversary at Together Wine Lounge. The owner, Rob, is super knowledgeable and friendly. We tried out new varietals of different wines and had a great time. Food is also excellent! Highly recommend the duck Mac & cheese!“

“Intimate and cozy bar with an excellent wine and beer selection. The interior is gorgeous but small, dominated by the bar. The walls look like they’re made of green velvet but it’s actually concrete. The service was friendly, and they made to sure to keep our glasses full. The food is from Ernest, which was a treat. The bread is from Rize Up Bakery and highly recommended with the wine.“

“Been here few times now and every time has been a real pleasure! First time was when they were hosting some jazz artists- the wine, the ambiance, was fantastic. Every wine I’ve had here has been exceptional as well. Learned a lot about natural wines from Adela during a tasting (rotates weekly), who is knowledgeable and super friendly. Recommend you pay a visit!“

“Amazing wine bar—we stumbled upon it absolutely randomly and just loved the atmosphere at first glance. We tried 4 different wines, and all of them were excellent. The crab cakes and focaccia were good too. I highly recommend this place for its nice and quiet atmosphere and good wine choices.“

“The owner was so sweet and helpful during my experience here. I had questions and she was very willing to answer and steer me towards things I was looking for. Also, had a lil snack of nuts and I can't remember what they were but they were delish. I would definitely go back.“

“San Francisco Wine Society was outstanding. Danielle was incredibly responsive, organized, and genuinely invested in our event’s success. She anticipated what we needed—offering full event guidance and clear communication every step of the way.

Even though I was managing the event remotely, Danielle made the process seamless. She was hands-on, detail-oriented, and ensured everything came together flawlessly. As an event manager, it’s rare to find a venue contact you can trust completely—but she made it effortless.

This was our second year hosting with San Francisco Wine Society, and they once again exceeded expectations. I was able to plan the event quickly thanks to the responsiveness. I can’t recommend this venue enough for anyone looking for a high-touch, dependable, and truly exceptional partner in San Francisco.“

“This wine bar is one of my favorites and it never disappoints. The wine list is always excellent, the escargots are truly the best, and the flatbread is amazing. I’ve been coming here for years, and I can honestly say it’s my go-to wine bar. Perfect for a date or for a full catching-up with friends“

“Amazing. Even one of our waiter was amazing. They forgot my sardines and they gave me mussels. Both were AMAZING. Drinks were amazing AND the staff were amazing as well. I dont usually leave reviews unless it is worth my time. Definitely a place to go“

“We had Rompiballe Sandwich and The Milanese Sandwich. Our favorite one was The Milanese Sandwich even if both sandwiches were very tasty. It was very fresh and we liked the harmony of ingredients. Service was fast and we didn’t have a difficulty finding a table. I felt like I was in a nice sandwich shop in Firenze. Thank you!“

“Everything is Very Good🥰🥰“

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

“Amazing service and food!!!!“

“A nice wine bar with good easy-drinking wines and friendly staff.

We came in just in time for Wednesday’s trivia night, which made for a fun friendly atmosphere!

We had the empanada ($8) which was ok. Overall nice pre-dinner place!“

“This is definitely my favourite bar in San Francisco. Yummy spritzes, wide ranging + diverse wine selection (though the spritzes / aperitifs are my first choice). Also, great food selection for a bar - get a cheese board and explore the tapas for sure.“

“The cauliflower hoagie is an amazing vegan option! Just let the server know you want it vegan and they can also remove the honey. It was absolutely delicious and very filling! The salad and squash dish also pictured are gluten free but not vegan and were also outstanding! Service was great! Waster was so attentive and helpful in working with dietary restrictions and made excellent wine recommendations. Great vibe overall inside as well - will be back!“

“Such a special place. Similar to La Ciccia, Binu Bonu maintains a lovely neighborhood feel. Huge selection of wine (all of it new to me and something I really liked), wonderful charcuterie type small plates (out of this world olives). The stars are the husband and wife that make the magic place happen.“

“A delightful neighborhood venue 😊❗️“

“Truly feels like a neighborhood bar in every sense at the highest level. Cozy, cute, welcoming, approachable, fun. I don't know how many other praises I can heap. My first experience will not be my last. Can't wait to visit again.“

“Good wine selection and friendly bartenders“

“Nice local hangout! Great food, beer and wine place.“

“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!“

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

“Aziza offers an exceptional dining experience with unique, flavorful dishes inspired by modern Moroccan cuisine. The food is beautifully prepared using high-quality ingredients, and every dish is full of rich, balanced flavors. The service is attentive and professional, and the atmosphere is warm and elegant. Highly recommended for a memorable and refined meal.“

“Amazing, the nicest people fells like family in here“

“Awesome and women-owned! Let's bask in the light of this great community of women in the Bay! Love this place!“

“This is the best wine bar I've ever been to. Live music, incredible food, stellar wine list, amazing atmosphere. I will be bringing dates here for sure.“

“Such a great hidden gem in the neighborhood. We came by for a glass of wine and ended up with signing up for the wine club!
Great venue for live music and socializing- great wines of course. I appreciate that the founder and staff are here to connect with the community. Cheers!🍷“

“This little bar is such a hidden gem! The owner personally curates her own wines, and you can really taste the passion and knowledge in every glass. The wine membership is also incredible—thoughtfully selected bottles that make it feel like a mini wine journey each month. The cheese plate is absolutely divine. The selection is beautifully presented (just look at those delicate cheese shavings!) and perfectly paired with crispy crackers and a rich fruit chutney. Every bite is a mix of texture and flavor that balances wonderfully with the wines. The ambiance is cozy yet elegant, making it the perfect spot for a relaxed evening, whether you’re here for a casual drink or celebrating something special. Between the amazing service, the curated wines, and the mouthwatering cheese, this is easily one of the best local spots around. Highly recommend!“

“A Cozy Haven with Live Jazz

Vics Winehouse is a true gem—warm, inviting, and effortlessly charming. The selection of wines is fantastic, the music is the best in the city. The owner is incredibly friendly and she sings too! She put her heart and soul into this amazing place, always making us feels like home. We’ve always been treated with respect and kindness.
We go there not only for drinks and conversations, but also to enjoy real Jazz music ( so hard to find in the city these days) As live jazz melodies fill the air, the cozy atmosphere becomes even more magical. What I really love about Vics Winehouse is that it never disappoints. You get exactly what you would expect, every time. It’s a perfect spot for a relaxed evening with friends, your significant other, or if you come alone, you can make new friends.“

“Great wines and cool atmosphere“

“What an intimate special dinning experience !“

“Wow, what a great restaurant. As soon as we walked in we were greeted kindly by the hostess. She was so sweet and even checked in on us during dinner. Our server Joselyn was very helpful and attentive. She helped steer us in the right direction of what to order since everything on the menu looked delicious. The food was outstanding. The portions aren't super big but perfect which allowed us to order a few entrees. We started with the pan seared brussel sprouts, stuffed calamari, & roasted baby carrots. We then ordered the ricotta strangulet, pumpkin caramelle, braised short rib cappellacci, and the drunken mafaldine. Wow, everything was truly amazing and cooked to perfection. We didn't have room for dessert but our bill came with a tiny assortment of cookies which was the perfect way to end our meal. Thank you Sorrella, we will definitely be back to enjoy your amazing cuisine.“

“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.“

“Locale accogliente ma nel menu pochi piatti cge si possono chiamare italiani. La pizza margherita era buona. Portatevi un maglione se fuori fa freddo perché lasciano 2 finestre aperte e anche se gli è stato chiesto non le possono chiudere. Servizio nella norma.“

“The service, the ambiance and the food.“

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

“Cantina Los Mayas was really good. The waiters and chef were genuinely kind, friendly, and welcoming, and the overall vibe made the experience even better. Portions are big and the prices are very budget-friendly, so it felt like great value.

We started with the ceviche—it was spicy, but super balanced with a fresh pineapple-lime flavor that made it bright and refreshing. We also ordered the queso fundido, and it was a highlight: a creamy, milky blend of cheeses with chorizo, and I loved the little candle underneath that kept it warm the whole time.

For my main dish, I got the mariscos served in a pineapple. It hit that perfect sweet-and-spicy combo, and the two roasted shrimp were honestly so delicious. I just wish it came with a few more shrimp, but overall the rest of the seafood was filling and satisfying.

The only thing I was expecting a bit more from was the salsas—I hoped for stronger flavor and more heat. That said, they were still good.

Also, the location is great and easy to find, and parking nearby was pretty easy, which made the whole night even smoother.“

“great place for craft beers and good wine, knowledgeable friendly staff“

“We really enjoyed our dinner here! The service was amazing — attentive, helpful and very professional.
Great recommendations and help with our dietary restrictions.
The food and wine were both outstanding.
Thank you Roaming Goat team!“

“Loved the vibe here, the place was buzzing with people, and the atmosphere was lively but still comfortable. Outdoor seating is a huge plus if the weather’s on your side.
We ordered the chicken skewers, which came with warm bread and a flavorful sauce that paired beautifully with a glass of wine. Everything was tasty, well-balanced, and perfect for a casual evening.
Definitely a spot I’d come back to for good food, great drinks, and a fun atmosphere.“

“$10 cover on weekends (11pm). Packed beyond belief. Is it fun? Yeah, great music too. It gets hot in there (11pm). Tons of late college / post grads hanging out around here. SO SO SO many cigarettes, didn't know that was the new thing. Performative males exist here. Vibes immaculate (11pm).

Oh, the line around the corner is kinda insane (11pm). Bathroom line about 20-30 mins for 2 bathrooms. Not ideal, but like, you go to simply be there and exist.“

“The Press Club is a go-to venue for me. As someone in BD, I host many events for executives and they’ve always been great to work with. Great space, great service, great food as well. I’m impressed the quality has stayed so high over the years.“

“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.“

“Really impressed at how polished the tasting menu was from day 1. Some highlights were the artichoke hearts served in sunflowers, tempura enoki mushrooms, buttermilk cabbage, dry-aged duck breast with fig, and all the desserts. Some former Lord Stanley dishes made an appearance too.

Also the decor is stunning! Loved the rich, warm hues and foliage.

You need reservations for the tasting menu. They also take walk-ins with an à la carte menu.“

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