Wine bar with natural wines, small plates & trendy vibes
"While North Beach is best known for its many old-school restaurants and bars, Bodega is a new-school wine lover’s dream with a robust list of options by the glass and a respectable list of plates to pair, including tacos, chicken nuggets, and grilled cheese. There are plenty of funky natural wines for fans to explore, and the enticing descriptions make it easy to choose, even if you don’t know a pet-nat from a petit verdot. Pull up a stool to a community table or the bar and make a game of observing the many dates undoubtedly taking place around the intimate interior." - Paolo Bicchieri
"Whether you’re catching up with friends around one of the outdoor tables or snuggling up at the bar for a date, Bodega delivers good vibes and a long list of wines brought in from all over California with a few European options mixed in. It’s as approachable a list as they come with sections divided by flavor — think headers like “flirtatious” whites, “funky/fresh/sometimes chilled” reds, and “bring me the funk” for the orange wine lovers out there." - Dianne de Guzman
"At Bodega, you’ll see couples on dates, burrata on every table, and a big neon sign that says “wet your lips." This trendy wine bar in North Beach doesn’t take itself too seriously, which is why we love it. Wines are organized by the glass under fun categories like “Rich & Thicc,” “Flirtatious,” and “We Get It Susan, You Like Dry Rosé…” And if you get hungry while sipping on your glass of thicc Bordeaux, they have a menu of pretty good shareable things like brussels sprouts, shatteringly crispy potatoes with aioli, and salmon tacos.

"Bodega SF and Comptoir Wine Co. have teamed up to release a 2023 Jurassic Vineyard Riesling. A launch party is set for Sunday, May 26 with $10 glasses and to-go bottles available for $38." - Paolo Bicchieri
"While Bodega’s big neon sign reading “Wet Your Lips” may seem like social media pandering for the athleisure crowd, it sets the tone for a flirty, wine-drenched night—just one of the many reasons this wine bar and restaurant is the definitive date night destination in North Beach. Another: the small plates are ideal for sharing with someone you just swiped right on. Start things off with the snacky crispy potatoes or mushroom toast, and if things go well, keep the night going with a round of short rib tacos." - julia chen 1, lani conway
