Mili Wine Bar

Amazing wine bar with a great ambience, very chill, great music and a delicious selection of wine - try the Sancerre it’s very good. Cheese plate was def worth it and paired well with the wine. Great way to spend a Sunday afternoon watching the world go by

Mili wine bar has been my fav place until today. I’ve been here countless times after work and pickle ball sessions for the past 4 years, so I decided to do my birthday here today. I was made a clown by the manager John in front of my friends by using demeaning words like “sneak around” “get out of restaurant” by sharing my birthday cake and pie. I let my husband to ask for external food price before I shared my birthday cake and pie. Granted that we didn’t “ask” for the service right away because we wanted to do self service, but why would I know it’s 7 dollars per person if I wanted to “sneak around” and why would I “alert” the manager and got caught “sneaking around” 1 min before I did it? Am I an idiot and/or don’t I deserve some basic decent inquiry? Some info here, we ordered every side dish on the menu so the $35 cake price is nothing. I can’t fathom out why John decided to be derogatory to me on the spot without any politeness and asking first, before ruining my birthday. He even said “you didn’t even ask if you can bring in outside food” well that’s because he said it first thing when we walked it and we said we are celebrating birthday here with a cake. If Mili wine bar decides to position itself as a high class & high horse place with extractive value proposition and no caring for customers who like it, I think it’s detrimental to its branding as a community hang-out place in the Rincon hill area. Yes we all need to beg to come eat and drink at Mini wine bar. We are not worthy of your service and food. All the 6 people on my birthday table live a few steps away, and we will never come back to this place again. I will miss the small plates and late night convos here, but this experience has forever ruined my impression of this good spot.

Very fun and unique wines to try, and the ability to order a taste or a glass of any of the wines is really great. The blinis that come with the caviar are nice and warm, which makes for a great pairing. The atmosphere is lively and the service is super attentive and welcoming. I went on opening night, and it was great on all sides!

The wine here is fantastic! Got 3 tasting wines and they gave a lot of wine, all very good and very well priced! The service was impeccable and the vibes were on point, will return again!! Charcuterie board was delicious as well

Delicious wine and food! The owner is always willing to give recommendations, even if they're busy. One of our favorite neighborhood spots!

Very poor service. The manager John is arrogant and shows absolutely no respect to customers. AVOID this place if you want to have an enjoyable dinning experience.

I really wanted to love it! We live close by and I believe this type of bars can bring life to the neighborhood at night. Unfortunately, I ended up being really disappointed with the service. We came, and had a total of 2 wine glasses. We didn’t leave a 25% tip but I believe it was more than reasonable what was left. When the waitress saw our tip got disappointed, changed her behavior with us and didn’t even said good bye to us or answered back to us.

Beautifully appointed spot to meetup with friends.... We loved the wines we tasted. Yummy charcuterie board too. Looking forward to going again!

Amazing selection and great guy tending bar. I'm a wine collector and generally avoid wine bars, but I would return here.

Nice wine bar near Embarcadero. The wine is of good quality, but the menu wasn't too long that overwhelmed you in your choices. The service was friendly. It's a perfect spot for a happy hour and noise levels are low allowing a great conversation!

Mili Wine Bar is an absolute delight! From the moment you step in, you're greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere that immediately sets the tone for a memorable experience. The selection of wines is impressive, catering to both novices and connoisseurs alike. But what truly sets Mili apart is the host - knowledgeable, welcoming, and passionate about their craft. Whether you're looking to explore new wines or simply unwind with a glass of your favorite, Mili Wine Bar is the perfect destination. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a stellar wine experience!

I found this place when I searched wine bars near me after eating at Angler and it was a short walk away. I loved the vibe and it seems like the perfect place for a night cap, catching up with friends or a first date based on who all was there. The service was prompt and attentive. It was very clean. It was a nice way to end the night and wasn't too busy for a Thursday night.

I've visited Mili twice: the first time was perfection. The second time was nice, with excellent service, but the loud pop throwback music playing over the speakers detracted from the otherwise chill and comfy atmosphere. Mili has a very limited food menu--mostly charcuterie. While the options aren't really suitable for a full meal, they can be a great snack or dessert.

Fun addition to the neighborhood! I walk by often, so I was excited to finally check it out. I'm more of a cocktails gal, but appreciate the occasional glass of red at dinner. I decided to go for a lighter option since we didn't order any food. The Riesling ($16/glass) was the perfect pick -- crisp and fruity. Unsurprisingly, things are pricey; there are only a few wines under $20 a glass. Hope they can add more in the future. Plenty of seating Friday at 5pm, but by 6pm it definitely filled up. Good spot to bring colleagues and dates alike; although I feel like this is the type of spot where I'd come to find new favorites and then purchase for less on my own. Staff seemed friendly during our very minimal interaction.

Wonderful new addition to the East Cut -- I see this spot becoming the place to be by the summer! The menu features a great assortment of wines, with options for a taste, glass, or bottle. Food items are sourced from local vendors, including Loquat (one of my favorite bakeries). If you're interested in trying a white wine, the Sancerre was a delight to sip. The service was also excellent: our bartender was pleasantly chatty and mentioned that a happy hour menu is in the works!

You have a fun new wine bar that's easily walkable to the Embarcadero and to a few of the urban parks nearby. I mention those because you will probably want to picnic with a bottle after chilling here. They have a great selection of wine, and some great people to guide you through the choices. I think it's a little on the spendy end for glasses of wine, which I get, being in the downtown area. I hope they're able to stick around!

Welcome new wine bar in East Cut. We came on a Tuesday at 5:30pm and the wine bar was packed. We had to wait before seating became available. We ordered two white wines, which both were a little disappointing for the price point. The highlight of happy hour was the Burrata we ordered, which was creamy, refreshing, delicious.

LOVE that we finally have a nice neighborhood wine bar. Love this spot, it's super cozy, lovely inside and great for casual wine and charcuterie. Love coming here after work or just when I need a little break from work during the weekdays.

We were the first customers walking in shortly after they opened at 4:30 on a Saturday. The place is clean and cozy and the menu is manageable. A perfect spot for a glass of wine and a light snack. Definitely a great addition to the neighborhood!

Mili is super cute. Great spot in the neighborhood (especially since we don't have too many spots over here) to grab a class of wine and a cheese board. Service was great as the server seemed to know his wines. Had a nice time here with a friend and will definitely go back

Stopped here after work with my husband. Ordered wine as well as off the food menu. The food menu includes apps and we had the burrata and ahi tuna tartare - both were fresh and delicious and decent portions for appetizers

Came in Friday (8.18.23) very excited as I had heard such wonderful things about this place....sad to say probably one of the worst experiences I have had. Was sat by a older women who I felt either hated me or her job. Felt very rushed and some what uncomfortable, when I asked what certain wines were felt very dumbed down. Not sure if the older gentlemen was the owner but he seemed very disengaged when I asked for something felt like a burden....(weird especially since I'm paying) this place felt very cold and staff felt unwelcoming.

Very fun and unique wines to try, and the ability to order a taste or a glass of any of the wines is really great. The blinis that come with the caviar are nice and warm, which makes for a great pairing. The atmosphere is lively and the service is super attentive and welcoming. I went on opening night, and it was great on all sides!

Went here on opening day last week and the wines were fabulous! A really well curated list of wines that we hadn't tried before (not your run of the mill options). Reasonably priced for what you get. Great small bites too. I love that they have an option to buy a taste (like 1/2 or 1/3rd the size of a regular glass) so you can try more options.

Thrilled that we have a spot in the neighborhood now. I've been here for 11 years, and it's about time we get a wine bar! Cute vibes, friendly owners and staff. Came here on the second day it was open. I will absolutely come back again!

Ben was a great server. Informative and low key. Mili is still a 5 star rating but I'd like to put something on a wish list. They offer 2 lower priced red wines, which we had, and they were delicious, but I would love to see a couple more wines in the $12-$16 range (bonus points for Italian wines). I know the neighborhood is high end, but there are a quite a few below market rate owners nearby who might be drawn to Mili if the wines were more affordable. By the way, the poke plate was amazing!!! Looking so forward to outdoor seating! Thank you.

It's a pretty popular cute wine spot in Rincon hill now! Took us around 15 mins to get a table on a Thursday evening. Limited seating so expect a short wait. I really loved the cheese plate and the red wines I ordered. Prices for wine by the glass are pretty reasonable.

Beautiful, elegant new wine bar at the base of a stunning architectural gem in San Francisco! My friends and I met here recently and were absolutely blown away! This place is chic, warm, and makes you feel like you don't want to leave. The wine selection is fantastic and the food is also top-notch, including caviar. Definitely worth a visit!

Mili is new and I was SO impressed. Ben gave us incredible recommendations and I will be coming back all the time, especially after work. GREAT wine, I tried multiple kinds and every single one was good, and the meat and cheese was very good quality. Highly recommend.

10/10! Great service and excellent wine choices. The ambience is surreal. Tuna tostada is a must!

Lovely interior, great service, divine bites, very mediocre wines at best. S. Kelley

Amazing place! John and Valentina are so nice! Get this place a try! Went in clueless about wine and they showed me the way!

Great place to chat and bond over a few glasses of wine and hors d'oeuvres. The ambience is really nice and it's located in a nicer part of SF - SoMa.

Very excited to have a new hangout spot in the East Cut! My team came here after work and the vibes were great, was a great place to chill out and have a long chat. Everyone loved the diversity of the wines including our resident wine connoisseur and the snacks and treats were all tasty. (Pine nut tart from Loquat was a highlight - unique and delicious.) John, Renee, and the rest of the team were friendly and welcoming. For those of us who don't drink there's a variety of fancy tea options that come in a lovely tea service. Definitely planning to come back!

come for the wine, stay for the food. surprisingly good menu. highly recommend the feuillete and fondue.

Beautifully appointed spot to meetup with friends, taste some great wine and get a snack.... We loved the wines we tasted. Yummy charcuterie board too. Looking forward to going again!
