About this space

We're a convivial neighborhood bar with a quirky, dressed-down tone that makes the space more relaxed and approachable than most wine bars in town.

We host events and activities on a weekly basis ranging from karaoke to trivia night to live musical performances and can use our AV system for whatever you might need. We're right in the middle of a dense nightlife area, stumbling distance from countless other bars and restaurants.

Let us know what you have in mind and we'll follow up within a day.

Great low key venue. Super warm and friendly staff. Daniel was great to work with from day 1 and made the planning process so easy especially as we’re not based in San Francisco. All our guests raved about the food and wine choices. The space itself was just the moody sexy wine bar atmosphere that we were looking for to host our welcome party. Very reasonably priced as well. Definitely would recommend to anyone looking to host an event in San Francisco.

If a DJ brings their own speakers, they would just need a power outlet from the venue.
