Intimate French wine bar with craft cocktails and caviar
"Bar Crenn is known for its caviar bites and bubbles, served in a Parisian flea-chic living room, and maintains its Michelin star for another year. Bar Crenn also received a Green Star. (1 star)" - Eater Staff
"Nestled next door to Atelier Crenn, this counter experience offers an elegant interpretation of bar dining. Seated at a sleek marble countertop, a select handful of diners per evening receive a custom menu that carries the team's commitment to pescatarian-focused, dairy-free cuisine. Diners get a bit a show, as many of the courses are plated right at the bar.The beverage program is well-thought out, and selections pair perfectly with the clever creations, such as a salt-brined beet tartare crowned with caviar that's matched by a Mendocino sparkling rosé. The procession sings to the seasons, as in a springtime meal that included seafood sausage-stuffed morel mushrooms, clay-baked white asparagus, and halibut dressed with ramp "beurre blanc." - Michelin Inspector
"Chef Dominique Crenn’s three-Michelin-starred Atelier Crenn is a worthy dinner destination for any fine dining lovers out there. But those craving something a little out of the box would do well to check out what’s going on next door at the redesigned Bar Crenn. Here, the team offers a more interactive experience called Le Comptoir Crenn, during which staff cook a meal on the bar right in front of diners’ eyes. It’s limited to 10 seats each night and offers the chance for guests to pepper the team with questions as they flambe cheese and unveil tepache-steamed scallops while explaining the processes behind each theatrical dish. Reservations are available via Tock." - Flora Tsapovsky
"Next door to three-Michelin-starred Atelier Crenn, you’ll find chef Dominique Crenn’s more accessible Bar Crenn. A massive wall of Crenn’s records looms over the intimate hi-fi lounge, where seasonal cocktails brush up next to seafood-oriented bites like scallop crudo and oysters in an umami-focused drinks and bites experience. You can flip through the records and add some to the evening’s queue, and don’t be surprised if you end up talking vinyl with Chef Crenn herself, who’s often hanging out and chatting with guests. For the ultimate visit, reserve one of ten spots for the Le Comptoir interactive tasting menu, a Michelin-starred offering served at the bartop. Make a reservation via Tock." - Adrian Spinelli
"A little bit of Paris right in the heart of SF, this is a fantastic spot for cocktails. The mezcal coffee negroni is not to be missed." - brennan carley
