Big Finish Wine Tavern

Great food, drinks and service! We got the chicory salad, pork chop, pappardelle, mocktail and soda. Everything was delicious and portions were well-sized! The service was also great. I would highly recommend! Looking forward to coming back to try other menu items.

This place is fantastic. A glass of wine here is under 20$ (thank god) and the selection is great! My friends and I came without a reservation and they were able to let us get some wine while we waited. Got a table, some food (a salad and pappardelle pasta). The food was FANTASTIC! I really love the stained glass lamps too. Cant wait to come back again.

Great wine selection; served at the perfect temperature and with very reasonable prices. Food (starters, dinner and dessert) was so well prepared; I usually need extra seasonings & chili flakes honey, but didn’t ask for anything. The service, including the owner Adam who was actively working the full bar, was absolutely delightful and very service oriented. Beautiful wine and tapas bar that is intimate and fun - filled up with people between seven and 9 o’clock! Not gonna lie - parking is a pain in the butt in the Mission but found a spot. Will absolutely recommend!

Big Finish Wine Tavern has quickly become my go-to spot, whether I’m craving a relaxing Tuesday night drink or a full-on weekend feast. Their wine selection is impressively large and thoughtfully curated—there’s truly something for everyone—but I have to shout out the hazy IPA on tap, which is hands-down my favorite. The food? Outstanding across the board. The burger is absolutely killer—juicy, flavorful, and consistently spot-on. I’m also SO excited about the recent addition of fries, which are crispy and seasoned just right. Pair that with their side tavern salad (the house pickles in it are a genius touch), and you've got the perfect balanced meal. Wings here are next-level. Easily the best I’ve had in the city—perfectly crispy on the outside and evenly sauced, with zero sogginess. They nail it every time. The pasta is another solid choice that never disappoints, and the seasonal risotto dish always brings something fresh and delicious to the table. If you're really hungry, go for the half chicken—it’s hearty, crispy, and incredibly flavorful. Beyond the food and drinks, the atmosphere is a huge part of what makes Big Finish so special. It's warm, inviting, and never pretentious. Whether you're sitting at the bar or grabbing a table with friends, it just feels like a place you want to hang out. The staff is awesome—super friendly, genuinely knowledgeable, and always up for a chat when they have a moment. Big Finish is the kind of spot you should tell all your friends about. Can’t recommend it enough!

The food is world class. The pork chop and risotto were each one of the best, if not best, versions of the dish I’ve eaten anywhere. And the steak with peppercorn sauce - a special I hope makes it to the full-time menu - is the top contender for the best thing I’ve ever eaten in my life. It was so good I got chills. And that’s with high expectations to begin with. The date cake and meatballs are other memorable stand outs. The staff is extraordinarily helpful + friendly and create a casual, social atmosphere you’d expect more from a dive bar than an upscale restaurant serving this calibre of food. (To be clear, this is a compliment!) It’s obvious how much passion everyone there has for the food and wine they serve, plus a high level of professionalism and knowledge that reveals decades of experience. The price is another plus. For every one of the dishes I’ve tried, I’ve had worse versions at other restaurants that cost two or three times as much. It took us too long to eat here after it opened, but after we did, we’ve been back 4 times in a month. Each time, I’ve sat next to people making repeat visits, which is surely a good sign for a restaurant that’s been open for less than a year. I just hope it doesn’t get too slammed and hard to get a table in the future!

Delicious porkchop, mushroom risotto & seasonal salad. A lot of unique flavor combinations that are still inviting and comforting. Delicious wines on tap as well!

Cozy and unpretentious atmosphere for a wine bar with 48 wines on tap and seasonal culinary creations that pair incredibly well with their unconventional wine list and excite your palate. Near to 16th and Valencia, this place is perfect for a date night before a movie at the Roxie and a great value for their quality.

Friday night right around 6:45/7. Was super busy but we got two spots at the bar. My glass of wine was good and they have a large selection but I would NOT come for the food. Limited options & we did not enjoy what we ordered - two dishes that are typically fool proof.

I don't usually like to go to new places as usually they have a lot of kinks to work out but a friend recommended this place and I hesitantly agreed to go. Much to my surprise this place was running like a well-oiled machine and everything seemed totally dialed in. We sat at the bar which was great - the bar manager, Sarah totally took great care of us helping us navigate both food menu and wine list. 46 wines on tap, the ones we tried were all great and reasonably priced as well. Foodwise - we had the smoked trout dip, which was very much solid. Clean flavors, but nice punch too from the smokiness. The old bay chips that came with them were super good too - sturdy and perfectly seasoned. The chicken liver pate was awesome as well - though it came with cornbread instead of the usual crostini found at most places. Not sure how I felt at first, but I was sold! It's an incredible pairing especially with the marmalade. The star of the show however, had to be the buffalonian wings. The host Melissa was telling us that she's from Buffalo and all her friends and family from Buffalo/Rochester approve of these wings - perfectly sauced, which as it turns out is not that much sauce (in the best way). All were so good. We only came for snacks but will def be back for full dinner. I got to briefly meet the chef, Nelson and he was so nice and personable. He thanked us for coming in and told us to try the pork chop next time, which we definitely will! Finally - if you're into star trek, you have to check out the bathrooms. Nice weird touch especially the signs in klingon. Will def be back - everything was great, but especially the friendly service. Highly recommend!

The Big Finish is a true gem! The owners (Adam & Melissa) have created such a welcoming, neighborhood vibe that makes you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. The wine selection is amazing--delicious, robust, and at a great price point. More than 45+ wines on tap, from all around the world. You can tell how much thought went into each selection. The service is top-notch, with the staff going out of their way to make sure you have a great experience. The food menu is much bigger than expected, and the pork chop is absolutely incredible--so tender and paired with a maple molasses sauce that I could drink on its own! We loved everything we ordered, especially the trout dip, chicken wings, pappardelle, pork chop, and the bread pudding for dessert. It's the perfect spot for date night, dinner with friends, or a family outing. Highly recommend - 12/10 - we can't wait to go back.

Had an amazing evening here. Fun and lively atmosphere and large selection of good wines and great food!! So nice to have a fun spot like this on this corner . Try the wings, trout dip, and pork chop for sure!!

Awesome new neighborhood spot. The atmosphere is super welcoming and friendly, and the staff makes you feel right at home. On top of that, the wine list is amazing. So many good options and all presented in an approachable manner (and by the glass!) Every dish we ordered deserves its own write up and review - but you really should go try for yourself. Get the wings.
