15 SF Bars Where You Can Actually Meet People - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"Next time you’re looking to strike up a conversation with a stranger over something more substantial than a bowl of free peanuts, head to Bar Jabroni. This snug Lower Haight wine bar from the team behind Palm City is a hotbed of totally real laughs at terrible jokes and ever-so-slight arm caresses. People chat as they order glasses of pét-nat to go with rotating small plates like wagyu beef cheeks, creamy potato gnocchi, and soft shell crab. Even on a random Wednesday night, there's still usually a crowd flirting and namedropping who they saw at The Independent. Reservations for this cool wine bar are released two-and-half weeks out and they go quick. But the bar area is held exclusively for walk-ins. If you’re dead set on getting a table, come in around 9pm, order a glass of wine, and mingle with everyone else waiting for a spot." - ricky rodriguez, julia chen 1
