Amelie San Francisco

One step inside this Polk Street wine lounge and you’ll be transported into the movie of the same name. Sip on affordable vino from around the world (with a good amount from France, of course) and munch on snacks like cheese ravioli and flatbreads.

South San Francisco

This intimate 50-seater SoMa hotspot is devoted to Antipodean fare: clean, simple dishes with subtle Asian flavors (think salmon sashimi drizzled with curry oil, fig tart with Roaring Fourties blue cheese). Wash it down with Aussie, Kiwi, and South African wines.

Yield Wine Bar San Francisco

This is no ordinary wine bar. Located in Dogpatch, it pours only biodynamic, organic, and sustainable wines. Nibble on rosemary-toasted almonds, a cheese plate, or fresh-made flatbreads if you get hungry.
