50 Best Wine Bars near Sausalito

“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.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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 😁“

“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!!“

“Great bistro by the water! We arrived shortly after opening on Saturday and were seated immediately. We chose the covered outdoor seating. It can get chilly so bring your jacket. There's also plenty of indoor seating.

The burger was delicious and the shoestring fries were great with the aioli. The pain perdu was so soft and yummy; fantastic french toast with berry compote. The croque madame was great as well with a nice side salad. I love bread and all the bread from these dishes were stuff my face good.

There's a dedicated valet parking lot for $5. The surrounding parking spots are all permit parking until you get to the bridgeway.

“Amazing food, one of the breakfast in the town! We tried avocado toast with salmon and breakfast croissant, and everything is so delicious.

One note about the place: we prefer to sit outside because the exhaust hood inside doesn't work well and afterwards our clothes smell like food. It would be great if this could be improved in the establishment.“

“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!“

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

“This review is particularly for the Ilna pop-up on Sunday nights. Maz, the chef, cooks with so much passion. He collects the best ingredients from local farmer's markets, even using his background as a wine maker to create special ferments, and shares his family's Lebanese origins with so much care in each dish. The meatball and prosciutto are not to be missed!“

“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.“

“Staff is great and welcoming; atmosphere is wonderful and casual, lighting gives great vibes; we sat out back in a super cute patio. Food was delicious, and we got several appetizers and bottles of wine. This was just a happy hour catch up with friends and not a main meal. For the apps that required small slices of bread to eat with, they purposely give you less than you need tho I'm unsure if we had to pay for the extra order of bread. I like that when you're ready to leave, you don't wait for the check but head to the cashier inside and pay there. Overall a pleasant experience on the pricey side, not that we were trying to conserve costs.“

“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.“

“Great selection of wines and sakes and even some makgeolli. There are a few little snacks and tinned fish, but you probably want to eat elsewhere.

Was there for a very unique Pinot tasting with the distributor and was a great experience.“

“Amazing service and food!!!!“

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

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

“Everything is Very Good🥰🥰“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“A delightful neighborhood venue 😊❗️“

“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“

“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!“

“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 !!“

“fantastic little restaurant - excellent wine list and great beef bourgogne“

“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!)“

“This place is awesome! I went last night and I happen to meet the owner... ended up staying for a few hours and the staff, owner, and regulars who came in were all really great! Feels like a cozy community oasis in the middle of SF. Good for a date night as well, as they have plenty of good wine, intimate spots, and it's not too loud! Def go!“

“Awesome new vendor in the kiosk that used to be Bi-Rite in the Civic Center Plaza (pre-pandemic). I've had 4 things here (napolitano, caprese and veggie sandwiches and beet salad) and they've all been fresh and delicious with a generous serving. The bread they use is soft and yummy, not too "bready" with a good bread:fillings ratio. My main critique is the pricing, which -- while in line with SF prices -- isn't going to be accessible to most of the local residents of the TL/SOMA. The gelato pricing starts at $5.99. With a playground right behind the kiosk, it would be nice if the prices were lower so a family of 4 wouldn't have to pay almost $25 to get ice cream on a nice day.“

“Great wines and cool atmosphere“

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

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

“Fun charming, local wine bar“

“We hosted our wedding reception here and it was amazing! The willow trees and venue are beautiful, and it's a fun spot to host an event! Our guests had the best time, and the staff and owners were so kind and accommodating. They let us bring a band (they have an area for that already), choose a menu for our hundred guests, and the food and drinks were delicious. 5 stars! Thank you everyone at Bella Cora!!!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“The chicken tangine was superb...very tasty, moist,tender. Mourad can lay claim to the best chicken in San Francisco! The basteeya was so delicious with all the Moroccan spices and light flakey phyllo pastry. The plates came out looking like pieces of art.“

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

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

“I’m so in love with peking duck in here. So delicious and does not have any duck smell at all. The skin is crunchy and meat is juicy. I really recommend this 🥰 I really like the way Ling served us today, she is so sweet, kind and take care good my service dog.“

“We noticed this wine bar in our way to Hayes St, seeing all the packed restaurants (with lines) we turned back around and decided to see what was on offer and Ebb & Flow. What a lovely, friendly wine bar. We ordered wines based on their staff picks (great option), a cheese board, salami, and tuna. The atmosphere was perfect, I’d recommend it for a date or a pre theatre drink and light food. If we’re back in SF again we would definitely return.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“
