The 20 Best Wine Bars In San Francisco - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"The few blocks around the Balboa Theatre are a natural wine destination—there’s Slake, The Laundromat, and this Outer Richmond spot. The snug bottle shop is ideal for cozying up at the bar with a promising third date or toasting to a poodle mix’s first birthday. Bottles, by-the-glass options, and snacky plates like hummus and salami make it easy to linger for hours while people-watching from the huge windows or admiring the hot dog-shaped lamps and shelves of chillable reds. Another reason to get here: there’s a daily Happy Hour with $10 glasses and deals on charcuterie." - julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez, lani conway
