The 17 Best North Beach Restaurants and Bars

"While North Beach is best known for its many old-school restaurants and bars, Bodega is a new-school wine lover’s dream with a robust list of options by the glass and a respectable list of plates to pair, including tacos, chicken nuggets, and grilled cheese. There are plenty of funky natural wines for fans to explore, and the enticing descriptions make it easy to choose, even if you don’t know a pet-nat from a petit verdot. Pull up a stool to a community table or the bar and make a game of observing the many dates undoubtedly taking place around the intimate interior." - Paolo Bicchieri
