"The Rose is a quaint, fresh wine bar well-suited for the veteran wine connoisseur and uninitiated millennial alike. Once you've finished admiring the clean colors, repurposed wood, and open ceiling design, park yourself at the bar or table and choose from a wide selection of wines from popular wine-growing regions from around the world. If you're staying for awhile, grab some food from their restaurant and spend the afternoon playing board games. Rosé all day!" - Visceral
"Wine bar by night, coveted brunch spot on weekend mornings––The Rose wears many hats, and they all fit. The shelves of bottles lining the walls conjure up the ambiance of a well-stocked wine cellar. But if weather permits, you’ll want to snag a table on the patio outside to soak up some sun and watch the locals walk their dogs down 30th. Start with a fresh sourdough donut dotted with rainbow sprinkles from their bakery next door, Secret Sister. Then dive into the carnitas hash with potatoes and kabocha squash, and order a rosa alpina spritz." - candice woo, cora lee, ligaya malones

"With its aging wood floors, trestled ceiling, and vintage glass front arching toward the sky, The Rose exudes both charm and romance. This beloved San Diego wine bar is known for its stellar collection of natural wines, but its zero-proof offerings shine just as bright. Crafted with Lyre’s alcohol-free spirits, the Rosso Collins blends strawberry, citrus, and orgeat for a refreshing twist, while the Not an Aperol Spritz delivers the perfect bittersweet balance with an Amalfi bitters cordial." - Kelly Bone
"Long before natural wine became the hottest bar beverage, the Rose’s co-founder Chelsea Coleman was already pouring it at the Rose in South Park. Since opening nearly 15 years ago, the bar’s bottle selection has only grown, now offering something sure to please any discerning palate. While some bars lean into the dark and sultry, the Rose takes advantage of San Diego’s oft-sunny weather in a building that features exposed wood beams overhead. For nights when wine isn’t on the docket, the Rose offers cocktails and zero-proof options. Split a bottle and some olives while navigating the red flags of modern-day dating." - Helen I. Hwang
