"From two longtime North Beach residents — one a Riesling fanatic and the other a bookseller — this new wine bar is already a go-to for poets and tinned fish fans alike. The seating area upstairs provides a classic look out on Columbus Avenue, North Beach’s iconic main drag. Alongside its neighbor up the block Red Window, Golden Sardine is one of the best-poised places to take in all that old-school San Francisco energy." - Paolo Bicchieri
