The 20 Best Wine Bars In San Francisco - San Francisco - The Infatuation
"Come to this Lower Haight wine bar from the team behind Palm City to drink chilled reds with other people who wish they were in the Portuguese countryside. The petite dining room requires some strategizing—either squeeze in at the walk-in-only bar or reserve one of the tiny tables. It's worth the hassle to snack on fall-apart wagyu beef cheeks and creamy potato gnocchi, and make friends with the table sitting next to you. Just be aware the portions are on the smaller side. So instead of planning a full dinner here, grab a few glasses of rosé, order a pasta, and split an entree while getting to know your neighbors who may or may not be new crush material. 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." - julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez, lani conway
