"A wine and sake bar and shop hosting a pop-up event featuring various onigiri varieties." - Paolo Bicchieri
"In a crisp white space with bright neon accents just off Market Street, this wine and sake shop offers bottles that you feel good buying. Wines produced without additives, using biodynamically farmed grapes, and by women winemakers are clearly marked and can be opened on-site or taken to go. There’s also a smaller selection of wines by the glass but if you’re interested in exploring sake, look forward to more than 60 options." - Lauren Saria, Eater Staff
"The Castro’s Fig & Thistle Market recently rebranded as Millay, a wine and sake bar that feels like the set of a Euphoria shoot. It’s nearly impossible not to feel cool when you’re sitting at a marble table drenched in moody pink lighting, surrounded by bottles of wine, geodes, plants, and books. Grab a glass or bottle from their extensive natural wine selection (there’s still a bottle shop in the back), and if you’re hungry, they have snack-y plates like tinned fish or charcuterie and cheese." - julia chen 1
"At Millay, the tiny bottle shop and bar, the atmosphere is always on-point, and the noise level makes for intimate — but not too excruciating — communication." - Flora Tsapovsky
"Millay wine and sake bar will host the Holiday Tea Tasting pop-up for the first three Saturdays in December. It’s that cool shop at Church and Market, which was formerly a wine shop called Fig & Thistle, but rebranded over the summer to be more of a wine and sake bar called Millay." - Lauren Saria
