"Buddy is our go-to wine bar in the Mission. It’s got a few plants, a checkered floor, vinyl that spins all night, and food that’s actually worth the money a.k.a. all the essentials for a great first date. The wine bottles that run across the wall come in all sorts of hues, from a clear orange to a deep pink and a rich red, with funky labels to let you know that you’re drinking something closer to kombucha.
