10 Great Not-Natural Wine Bars In SF
"For wine al fresco, go to Arlequin. This specialty bottle shop in Hayes Valley has a separate tasting area and dining room, but the lush uncovered patio is where you’ll find the best seats. Get a glass of small-batch wine and nibble on charcuterie next to blooming shrubbery under strings of twinkle lights. Parking yourself on the patio for hours is easy to do, whether you’re asking the staff for yet another round of suggested wine (you can buy a bottle on the way out) or if you’re taking advantage of the free wi-fi to “do some work.” Whatever the case is, you’ll likely need more substantial food at some point—take the short walk to the attached Arbor restaurant and get salads, fries, burgers, or a sundae if you want to skip straight to dessert." - julia chen 1, patrick wong, lani conway
