Embarc Wines

Embarc wines is a fabulous addition to the Embarcadero centre and our city. A truly fabulous wine bar with a very premium selection of wines in a sophisticated setting. The staff were friendly and knowledgable about the different wines. I look forward to my next visit.

Everyone is SO friendly. I had a great time— I love the option of trying different wines and the option to buy the bottle if I want to take it home. Will definitely be back!

I went with friends the other night and had an amazing time. The wine selection was phenomenal and I loved having the ability to try a few sips of a wine for as little as $2.50! I’ll definitely be back — an incredible establishment

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!

Great wine selection. No service, you press a button on a machine. Then when you check out they ask for a 25% tip. Pure insanity. Let's get with reality. Tips are for great service, I'm not tipping your dispenser. It doesn't even over serve me haha.

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!

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.

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!
