This snug neighborhood wine bar & market features natural selections, along with sake.
"With two locations — a wine bar in Hayes Valley and a sister bottle shop Millay in the Castro — Fig & Thistle provides some much-needed natty in some more conventional-leaning ‘hoods. The bar, which was opened in 2012 by Angel Davis and Nguey Lay, is fun and funky — share the bunkbeds with friends for a more intimate experience — and the wine list is small but thoughtful, with a focus on California. The market is a meet-cute of a neighborhood bottle shop, candlelit bar, and succulent garden: A surprisingly quiet retreat from Market Street’s normal clamor." - Sam Chapple-Sokol
"Duboce Triangle market and wine shop Fig & Thistle Market has a hefty selection of wines available for pickup and delivery. Unlike many spots on this list, drop-in visits are also allowed during operating hours." - Eve Batey
