"Bar Gemini is more than just another natural wine bar. It’s got a mid-century modern scene with sauna decor vibes and excellent small plates—which, as it turns out, is different from most natural wine bars. This spot from the team at Gemini Bottle Co. and Ernest is drenched in warm moody lighting and bumping music that pairs suspiciously well with macabeu. Featuring wines by the glass (and on tap) alongside bar bites like a decadent grilled cheese and cacio e pepe deviled eggs, Bar Gemini is an obvious drinks-and-snacks weekend destination." - ricky rodriguez, julia chen 1, lani conway
"Natural wine is the headliner at Bar Gemini, a Mission bar that feels like the inside of a Scandinavian sauna. To match all the dark wood and bottles of chilled red, earth-toned East Fork bowls populate the shelves and tables. They’re in the form of plates, bowls, and hybrids that are kind of plates but are also kind of bowls, and make the fanned-out slices of cheese and cacio e pepe deviled eggs look extra photo-ready." - julia chen 1
"The stools at this moody wine bar in the Mission may have low backs, but they score key points in the arm department. The leather seats look like something you’d find in a Porsche, with sleek armrests so you can fully settle in for the next couple of hours. Take solace in the fact that your mild scoliosis won’t be acting up tonight, and order another round." - julia chen 1, patrick wong
"The sister operation that helped inspire the recent changes at the bottle shop, its success over the past year is cited as context for the expanded, food-focused pivot." - Paolo Bicchieri
"Natural wine is everywhere in this city. So what makes Bar Gemini, yet another natural wine bar, special? It depends on how often you find a mid-century modern scene with good vibes and excellent small plates—which, as it turns out, isn't very often at all. Located on the east side of the Mission, this spot from the team at Gemini Bottle Co. is drenched in warm moody lighting and bumping music that pairs suspiciously well with pét-nat from the Mosel. Featuring 11 wines by the glass (and four on tap) alongside bar bites like a decadent grilled cheese and cacio e pepe deviled eggs, Bar Gemini is an obvious drinks-and-snacks weekend destination." - julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez, lani conway
