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.

Best price guarantee
Our minimum spend is based on how much we would be making if open to the public during the same window of time. Generally, peak times like Friday and Saturday nights will have higher minimums than daytime or weeknight events. Minimums may also go up or down seasonally.
We can put together custom menus to accommodate any budget from $30 per person and up. For full meals, expect $40-$90 per person. Beverages mostly range from about $7-$16 each.

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.

Yes, you are more than welcome to bring in a live band.
The venue generally has background music on and cannot provide a silent space while open to the public.
If a DJ brings their own speakers, they would just need a power outlet from the venue.
