50 Best Wine Bars near Sausalito

“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!“

“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 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!!“

“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!“

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

“Everything was AMAZING. I'm not sure why this place only has 4.4 stars (at the time of writing this), but from the atmosphere to the food and the staff, you can't go wrong.

Every flavor is matched beautifully, and the portions were light yet full of flavor. I'd highly recommend going yourself or with a group of friends!

*Note, this place was recommended by a French friend 😋“

“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!!“

“The food and coffee were great! Atmosphere indoors can be a bit loud during peak hours. Service was quick and the staff were friendly.
The bar stools inside vary in height and some were too low with respect to the table board across the wall. Otherwise a great place to have breakfast/brunch!“

“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“

“Everything is Very Good🥰🥰“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“Amazing service and food!!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Most excellent food, drink, service and staff! We were vibing and lost track of time. Place got busy and when it does, don’t be too shy to share a table. Vibrant community, you got a lot in common with SOCAL in a good way! Peace and love Palm City in the Sunset District, I am looking forward to visiting again.“

“Good wine selection and friendly bartenders“

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

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

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

“It is miles away from the hustle & bustle of the city, so when we reached, we almost turned around and drove away as we wanted a nice place for our anniversary. However, it looked a nice cute place, so decided to take a chance. They seated us in the back room which was cozier. The server was outstanding - he explained all the food items (we are Vegetarians), and every food item we ordered was delicious. Perfect blend of flavors and taste. The corn bread is more like a corn cake but it was baked fresh and came steaming and was mouth watering. The cocktail was amazing and the Bordeaux style Cab from Sonoma was very nice. The manager stopped by many times to enquire how we were doing. Overall, we had a wonderful time. Because it was our anniversary, they even brought 2 glasses of complimentary Prosecco to make it special.“

“We love this place. So much in fact that we got married in this fantastic space. The staff is amazing. I only wish they had better food options. But honestly, if you've never been here, the wines are sensational. We'll be back next December. Thank you all at Jax Vinyards... we are so grateful for you and the service and the incredible wines.“

“What an intimate special dinning experience !“

“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.“

“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.“

“Visiting San Francisco all the way from Texas and we 100% recommend this family friendly restaurant. The food was authentic and delicious. We left no crumbs. The customer service was also amazing. Muchas gracias por todo! Volveremos muy pronto!“

“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.“

“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.“
