Upscale wine bar with extensive list, elevated New American bites
"The Deal: $55 per person for 90 minutes of bottomless drinks and food. The wine bar in Pacific Heights looks like a cozy cigar bar thanks to red walls and deep-cushioned chairs. And aside from the comfortable seats, this place also has live music and serves bottomless brunch featuring mimosas, bloody marys, screwdrivers, and, of course, brunch food like chicken and waffles and benedicts. And the best part: Scopo Divino takes brunch reservations." - ricky rodriguez, julia chen 1, lani conway
"This place in Lower Pacific Heights has red walls and deep-cushioned chairs that make it feel more like a cigar bar or a hidden room in House of Prime Rib. Aside from the comfortable seats, what makes Scopo Divino so great is the live band that they somehow fit in here six nights a week. It’s a great last stop of the night when you’d rather drink a glass of cab franc than go somewhere that requires taking tequila shots to catch up with the rest of the bar." - julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez, lani conway
"You could put the big armchairs at Scopo Divino in the middle of the arctic tundra, and you’d still be comfortable. And while you take a load off, grab a glass of syrah from their long by-the-glass list. This wine bar in Presidio Heights also has live music almost every night - which, aside from the heavy pours, might be the only thing keeping you from slipping into a peaceful sleep." - lani conway, will kamensky
"At Scopo Divino, you wouldn’t be out of place with a cigar or a curlicued mustache—the old-timey wine bar feels like the library from “Clue.” The Lower Pacific Heights spot focuses on mostly French and Italian wines, which go down smoothly with a side of live jazz (there are bands and musicians most nights). The chairs and bar stools here have real backs, so you can come here with anyone who needs extra lumbar support while they swirl around some sauvignon blanc. Or just sink into a couch with a date and discuss jazz licks over thick vanilla crème brûlée." - julia chen 1, patrick wong, lani conway
"For a takeout option, Scopo Divino is offering a Champagne and fried chicken meal that feeds two to four: for $79 you get two fried chickens, coleslaw, red beans and rice, deviled eggs and hush puppies, a satsuma salad, and pecan pie; the $149 Champagne option adds a bottle of Lassale Premier Cru, and orders are placed through Resy." - Dianne de Guzman
