"While Bodega’s big neon sign reading “Wet Your Lips” may seem like social media pandering for the athleisure crowd, it sets the tone for a flirty, wine-drenched night—just one of the many reasons this wine bar and restaurant is the definitive date night destination in North Beach. Another: the small plates are ideal for sharing with someone you just swiped right on. Start things off with the snacky crispy potatoes or mushroom toast, and if things go well, keep the night going with a round of short rib tacos." - julia chen 1, lani conway, patrick wong
