44 Best Wine Bars near San Pablo

“Went to dinner for my birthday! Had a delicious chicken a la parmigiana, a Peroni beer and for dessert, a slice of chocolate cake and some crème brûlée! 😋 Everything was so delicious! 👍🏼🥳“

“Date night with my wife and had a wonderful experience. Loved the decor and the vibe. Felt like we had a taste of the French experience without leaving Oakland. The wine was fabulous as was the service and attention to detail. Highly recommend the cheese plate! Will visit again and often for date nights.“

“This has got to be one of the most underrated restaurants in the Bay if not the state, actually the country! Global dishes with an innovative touch and soulful take. And the owner/chef is a super cool dude. I am recommending this spot to all my foodie friends ;)“

“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.“

“Visiting from Europe, was stunned by the experience at this winery. The grape grower of Purity Wines shared stories, wine, and he was generous with his time (and wine). Will for sure return and will tell my friends that they do events. It’s a hidden gem.“

“The best wine bar hands down! Kelly and Giselle are not only friendly but also curate the most amazing experiences. We love special cheeses and they always make sure to add them to our cheese board. We are also members of the wine club where they have the best parties for members!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“I recently went to In Good Taste with some friends for a fun Friday evening activity (it's right by the ferry landing), and I can't recommend it enough! Our host, Abby, was absolutely phenomenal. With her infectious enthusiasm and deep knowledge of wine, she made our tasting journey unforgettable and her recommendations were spot on! Abby's expertise and passion for what she does really sets this place apart.

The ambiance is chic yet comfortable, making it the ideal spot for a fun day out or a special celebration. The décor is tasteful, and the layout encourages conversation and connection, which made it even more enjoyable for our group.“

“味道很不错值得尝试一下！😁😁😁“

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

“Recently celebrated my moms 80th birthday with a party here, we rented out the space for the event and they provided a wonderful meal. Cant say enough good things about the food quality, lovely environment, and working with their team- Sequoia was such a help! Thank you all.“

“Yeah this place is super fun. As far as oyster bars in the east bay I can’t think of a better spot. The decor is super cool sweet mix of modern meets east coast fishing house. The service was great and the oysters tasted great. When I come back I think I’ll try the fish and chips. The couple next to us got them and I was super jealous. The wine selection is also really good, small but it has 3 options for every type, what else do you need???

I’ve been here a couple of times now and will totally be coming back.“

“Honestly the best tasting marinara and meatballs I’ve tasted outside of Italy.
Super selection of great European wines and very reasonably priced. On top of that, the owners of this cute little operation are the nicest people. What’s not to like ?“

“Petit Cafe is a hidden gem! The warm ambiance, delightful pastries, and rich coffee make it the perfect spot to unwind. The staff are friendly, and every visit feels like a little escape from the hustle and bustle. Highly recommend!“

“😀First visit here after years of walking past it. The veggie combo and meat combo platters were among the best I've had at Berkeley and Oakland's many great Ethiopian restaurants. Service was very fast and friendly and outdoor back-patio was peaceful. I will be back soon and often.“

“Super chill place that’s cozy and serves amazing nibbles and wine without being pretentious or exclusive. Can’t speak to mingling possibilities (whether you’ll go home with someone new) but it is a hangout stand-out, with stellar service. My new fav place north of Gourmet Ghetto“

“Why was the cabbage so good? She stole the entire table. Pleasantly fried & juicey chicken sandwich- not spicy but very well seasoned with a nice lil kick. Great burger- it's what I came for & I shall return to it; the sauce alone. Sweet potato fries at NO UPCHARGE!!!!! And yes, the bevvies are worth it. Ask your bartender for their preference and please do tip where able!“

“Loved the decor and the vibe，great place to hang out with friends.The food was absolutely delicious! The flavors were spot on.If you're in the area, this place is a must-try!“

“Millennium is my favorite vegan res! Excellent customer service, people, and atmosphere! The food is more than something to eat; it is something to experience!“

“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!“

“Strong cider, strong playlist, staffed by legends.“

“Oh how I miss Anchalee! Beautiful cozy decor and the food is amazing. I have great memories of this place. Time to make my way back to enjoy.“

“I stumbled across this café in Berkeley. I was in the neighborhood and wanted a cup of coffee and a bite to eat. Customer service was outstanding. Very friendly. I ordered a Americano café and a classic half plain bagel with cream cheese to go.
When I got to the car and opened up the box with the bagel, I was pleasantly surprised at what I was looking at. I had to take a photo. Even more surprised when I took the first bite. This was the best bagel I’ve ever had! The taste was amazing. Everything was so fresh. I took a sip of my coffee and that too was really good!
Thank you guys the copy and the food made my day! I will return when I’m back in town.“

“I spend my days traveling the world exploring the most exotic wines in the deepest corners of this crazy place we call planet earth, and let me say that Bacchus and Venus did NOT disappoint.

From the exceptional wines, to the friendly staff, to the COMPLETELY odorless stemware, I was blown away. Not a single detail left me wanting more.

No matter the occasion; corporate event, date night, or if you’re just looking for a cool place to jive out, B&V will not disappoint. Don’t wait, hurry in today!“

“Exceptional multiroaster with a great rotating selection and highly skilled baristas.“

“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“

“Great wines, great people, no pretense. Go there now.“

“Tapas were flavorful. We selected more of the veggie forward tapas. Veggie paella was amazing, group of 3, and we cleaned the pan. One friend has a nut allergy, got the black and white dessert, ingredients specified no nuts, waitress checked with kitchen, friend had a slight reaction. Waitress was either freaking out or really busy, she didn’t tend to us for a while. She made a few under the table rude comments, other than her service, this was the perfect place for friends to gather and catch up. Dimly lit, moody, good mocktails.“

“The cutest little coffee shop attached to the Claremont. The service was impeccable. Attentive, kind, friendly, and warm. The drinks were delicious. Plenty of little snacks for hungry mouths. Games for playing. My wife would get a soy cappuccino in a ceramic mug every morning. I'd get a hot tea with honey, and a chai with almond milk later. Prices were reasonable compared to how much shops nowadays. Excellent shop! Highly recommended!!“

“Great wine, love the squid, love the pastas and desserts!“

“Great sandwiches in downtown Berkeley with a lovely patio“

“Stopped there for lunch and it was delicious. Lasagna and Cioppino was delicious 😁“

“My experience at Passione Caffè in their gorgeous two-story, well-decorated café at 91 Shattuck Square was simply marvelous. The staff was friendly, quick, and accommodating and the food, drinks, and desserts were delicious! I highly recommend Passione Caffè to those looking for a quick and yummy lunch (or breakfast/brunch everyday), to snack and study, or for an authentic Italian coffee. Don’t miss out on the great happy hour/aperativo deals between 4-7PM! It almost goes without mentioning, but Passione Caffè is absolutely true to its slogan: “A corner of Italy in Berkeley.” From the food and drink to the atmosphere and the service, this is the only truly Italian café I have found in Berkeley! And that comes from over a year of experience living and traveling in Italy! Besides the beautiful architecture and interior design of Passione Caffè—not to mention its convenient location next to Downtown Berkeley BART—I would like to point out some highlights on the menu. The pastas are all made with homemade, organic noodles and made-to-order sauces. The pasta dishes are so fresh and authentic! The spaghetti with meatballs, their only Americanized dish, is to die for! The pizzas also are also made with home-made dough and gluten-free options are offered. Try one with fresh prosciutto, mozzarella, and arugula! The fresh panini with Italian meats and cheeses round out the lunch menu. It is possible to have a filling lunch for $7-15, which is definitely reasonably priced by Berkeley standards! A serious final highlight was the artisanal gelato, made in-house by the Italian co-owner, Eleanora Cercatore. There are 12 flavors, weekly made with gluten-free options, that are displayed on a beautiful rotating wheel. The gelato is spectacularly tasty—I cannot recommend it highly enough! For your time, money, and fine Italian bites and drinks, I cannot recommend a Berkeley café more highly than Passione Caffè! Please pay them a visit soon—you won’t be disappointed!“

“Wow a Wine- Bar with 1920’s ambience!

A truly amazing discovery of the hidden jewel of boring Solano..

I got their special wine, not from the menu, and it was mind blowing.
They have live music and entertainment on weekends!
Local regulars are amazingly friendly folks, and don’t forget to ask what is chef special on Thursdays. We will be back !“

“Yesterday, my sister and I had the BEST table at the Iconic Spinnaker Seafood Restaurant in Sausalito - the at table at the far corner facing San Francisco! WOW - What a beautiful and clear day, with just a 'hint' of fog over the Golden Gate Bridge to the ocean side. The food was Fabulous - mine was a 'classic' "Crab Louie," with lots and lots of wonderful crab, and Tiramisu for dessert! Our servers were Alex and Francisco ("Francisco:))" who attended to our every need - even politely and notably giving extra time, as I was Determined to enjoy EVERY bite of my more than delicious, Crab Louie!! With a menu that is FULL of Classic Bay Area Seafood offerings, an Iconic setting and ambiance, and Incredible view of San Francisco Bay, Golden Gate Bridge and The City, I would change nothing about my visit! Thank You Spinnaker for a More Than Memorable Bay Area Experience!!“
