Embarc Wines

Partner and I had the pleasure of visiting Embarc Wines one evening and we loved it. Definitely will return. We were heading out for dinner just around the corner from the wine bar and decided to stop in for a glass of wine. It’s sleek, new, and the staff was wonderful; they welcomed us to the bar, were very knowledgeable about the wines, how to use the self-serve dispensers, and knew when to let us enjoy ourselves with the wine. We will definitely return to Embarc Wines.

Lovely small business in the heart of the Financial District! Very friendly owners and team, delicious selection of wine, and beautiful space. You provide them with a card to charge your wine to, and you are free to walk around at your own pace and fill your glass as much as you wish with wines from all over the world. Easy peasy! They don’t offer a very big selection of food at this time, but perhaps they will change as they become more established.

A fantastic new wine bar in SF! With 88 wines to try? All on a daily happy hour? YES! And YOU get to pick the wines YOU want!

Embarc Wines is a true gem and seriously one of the coolest spots I've been to in a while. The atmosphere is great, laid-back but buzzing, a cozy seating options that makes you want to hang out for hours. Great place to work remotely. The best part? The serve-yourself wine machines! It's like being a kid in a candy store– you can taste as many wines as you want and try something new without any pressure. The staff is super friendly and always ready to chat about their favorites or help you pick something you'll love. Plus, the small bites are on point! 10/10 highly recommend!

This is the best wine bar because they offer tasters, half glasses and full glasses, using a self- automated wine dispenser system. So you can taste a few wines before getting a half glass or full glass- so fun! And they have wines from all around the world, which makes it even more interesting! Great staff too, who are very knowledgeable! Such a delightful experience!

Atmosphere was excellent. Great place to entertain clients in a unique way or try a few different wines with friends (wide selection and option to get smaller amounts than typical serving so you can try a few things is a lot of fun). Staff is also very friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend.

Very cool wine bar with serve yourself machines allowing you to have a taste, a small drink or a full glass of any wine you choose. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly. They happily helped me navigate the fabulous selection to try several tasty wines I haven't had before. The decor is simple and clean with a selection of high and low tables. If you prefer to sip and lounge there are nooks with lovely couches. I'm looking forward to bringing friends and colleagues in for happy hour, or before dinner drinks. Like wine? Check it out. It's one of the coolest new things downtown!

Great space to hang out with friends or explore alone, convenient location, it is not a loud space so even a good place to work in the afternoon with a glass of wine. ALSO, very cool concept 88 wines all available for tasting, there are 3 pour sizes 1oz, 3oz or 5OZ all automated by their dispensing machine. The prices are affordable. If sticking to the small pours is a very cool in town wine tasting experience. Lots of fun, the staff can guide you as well, as little or as much as you need. Highly recommend it.

Came here on a Wednesday around 4pm. Turns out happy hour was 3-6, so 10% off all pours. There is plenty of seating throughout, ranging from intimate couch seating to communal tables all with the WiFi network and passcode--a remote worker's paradise... if drinking on the job is your thing... and allowed by the workplace? The staff were very attentive and friendly, walking us through their system from opening a tab, to gaining a key card that automatically adds to your tab per pour, to the sizes of available pours: 1oz, 1/2 glass, and full glass, as well as bringing a carafe of water and glasses. The sides of the room are based on region rather than specific types of wine, and they increase in intensity as you move along the line. They also sell them by the bottle and have a fridge of snacks and sparkling wines by request. Starting around $2 per 1oz pour and $7-20ish per glass, I'd definitely come back to try more wines and enjoy the atmosphere!
