This wine bar came recommended for the vibes, and it absolutely delivered. From the moment we walked in, the space felt intentional without being precious. Records spinning behind the bar set the tone, and the music choice hit that sweet spot where you notice it but it never overwhelms conversation. The decor and lighting strike a balance between laid back and polished, which made it an easy place to settle in. It was surprisingly packed for a Wednesday night, which says a lot. The crowd felt relaxed but lively, and the energy stayed consistent the whole time we were there. We kept things simple and ordered wine across the board, and everything we tried was solid and well chosen. Nothing fussy, just good wine in a space that knows exactly what it wants to be. I would gladly come back, especially when I want a night that feels social without being chaotic. read more

Came here around 7:30pm on a Saturday, and it was packed! There wasn't a lined but it was very dry lively and luckily, me and my friend had a small coffee table for 2 by the door. Loved the decor here! Defs a very lively and fun feel here. It was my first time trying sparkling red wine, and I loved it! It came to our table quick, too! I was surprised to see that there's also food in the menu. So it's not just a wine bar :) read more

One of the best small dinner and wine bar spots in the city. Delicious food, fantastic staff, chill music, great vibes.

Came here on a weekday night and had a weird experience with the staff. My friend arrived first and they told her they couldn't seat us until the full party was present. Totally fair, but when I arrived, they had already begun seating multiple incomplete parties. We all arrived and decided to leave rather than be crammed into a table that wasn't an appropriate size for our party. read more

The owner of the restaurant, Bodhi, is a lovely man, very friendly and gave us great food and wine recommendations that we loved, he really knows his stuff! We had the pan con tomate with fresh anchovies and Txakolina wine which we loved, we will absolutely come again and can't recommend it enough, a real San Francisco highlight. read more

Lovely wine bar nestled in the Mission! Came for a Friday happy hour around 6 and there was still good indoor and outdoor seating. We ordered the Riesling (so sweet and delicious, like drinking grape juice which was what I wanted), Rose (crisp and refreshing), and the Zucchini Pizza (light and crispy crust, freshest veggies, good bite). They have patio seating, some couch/casual seating by the entrance, and more traditional tables / bar as you go farther back. The interior is such a good vibe for an evening bev - brick wall, low lights, fun posters, fun lanterns - it's both homey and trendy. Service was so so nice! Prompt in serving us and zero rush to stop vibing - a highlight! read more

My friend suggested this little stop while we were in the area - it was my favorite spot of the day. We ordered the beets and beans - both were excellent. So much flavor, incredibly fresh, and vibrant. We all ordered a glass of wine, they had a great selection, everyone was happy with their selection. They have a little outdoor space that we sat in. Two little tables in the sun and a few covered tables. They also have a nice indoor space. The service was phenomenal. Everyone working there was friendly and everything came out quickly. read more

Great wine list, and delicious mocktails! Really enjoyed the dungeness crab toast. Brussels sprouts were really spicy and salty. I wouldn't order those again which is a bummer because I love brussels sprouts! The atmosphere here is very inviting and cozy. The staff working here are helpful. I love all the decor and the music is fun! read more

Really nice wine bar! The ambiance was exactly what I was looking for -- vibey, aesthetic, chill. Ordered a bottle of champagne to celebrate a birthday and it was very worth and also very good. Would definitely recommend anyone who likes wine to check it out! read more

20 Spot - New American Near Me - San Francisco, California

If you're looking for a fancy wine bar with eclectic taste, mood lighting, capturing art, 20 spot is the place. I stopped by with a friend to share a bottle of wine. Keep in mind, it's tough to find a bottle under $50, it's not a dive bar. I really appreciated the variety of seating and I can't wait to go back to try the food. The space was dimly lit, small tables of two bar, seating and a lounge/couch area. I really appreciate the thought put into the art in the space. We ordered a bottle of wine to share, a red, it was really good and I appreciate the service. Our server was very kind, we were able to sit in the couch base, even though we were just two. The wine was really good. I had a really good time. I think it would be a fun spot to go with more friends. It's not too loud. It's a great place for a first date. They have quite the variety of wine so there's something you'll like! I can't wait to go back with friends and share a bottle. read more

There is a white dessert wine here that I literally cannot find anywhere else and will therefore come back here to get...and I do not even like dessert wine. Inside has limited spots but feels pretty cozy! It is also right across garden creamery - so tempting. Parking is terrible here as always but it may be worth to try this white dessert wine read more

This place is SUCH a vibe! Definitely want to come back and try some food. Went with a girl friend on Friday night around 8 and got seated within 10ish minutes without reservation; it was definitely poppin' though. Ordered a bottle of the orange wine. Service was nice! read more

20 Spot - Outside - New American Near Me - San Francisco, California

This place is absolutely my vibe, one hundred percent. We were in town for pride and passed by. Casual outdoor tables basking in sunset light on a lazy summer evening, and a stylish interior. We glanced at the menu and decided heck yes. We shared the burrata salad with delicious stone fruits, the crudo with chilled Korean melon, corn pizza which was delicious and ended with the tres leches cake with apricot. Everything was delicious and the service was quick and kind without feeling fake. Would definitely recommend for a date. Another table next to us began as two friends catching up and more familiar passersby joined as the night went on, more wine coming out. Very cute neighborhood spot, and you get to people-watch the line at the ice cream spot across the street, if they're open Also their wine menu is quite good read more

Ya'll...I want to gatekeep this gem but it's too good not to share. 20Spot is my favorite restaurant in San Francisco. Why? Fresh food that is consistently delicious every single time, fabulous ambiance (ie. Lighting, tunes), and great service. Highly recommend the pizzas and the ceviche. Thank you 20Spot! read more

I was walking down 20th to a friend's house with my headphones on, hoping not to get lost when I saw a sign that said "Records." my first thought was I miss Tower Records, and as I got closer, I heard the music. The 60s music and design reminded me of Austin, Texas. That was my draw, and I had to go in! The inside was grown up and relaxed but in no way kitschy. I felt like I had found my new hang-out spot. The woman I met (I forgot to ask her name) was charming and answered every question. I wanted to stay, have a drink and a nosh, and enjoy this place. I'm definitely coming back with friends... read more

We stopped in here after grabbing some ice cream across the street. Apparently this place used to be a record shop. The decor is pretty nice and unique. The wine itself seemed a bit overpriced tho and the servers seemed disinterested. Maybe we just went on an off night. read more

The food was amazing, as well as the service but can get a little loud even with the sound absorbers on the ceiling. The pricing is very high. We had butter beans, asparagus, pizza, bread and lemon butter. Two glasses of wine each and our total bill was $170. That is $85 per person. read more

So impressed! SF has no dirth of wine bars, which makes the choice of which one to go to really overwhelming. I can confidently say this: pick 20 Spot. It's welcoming, cozy, and vibey, and the wine is so good! We came in around 9pm on a Saturday and they were really full -- we ended up waiting for bar seats. My friend got a chilled red wine and a I got a sparkling red. Mine was like a Labrusco but even better! Our server was so much fun and extremely helpful with the wine selection. He even gave us a taste before we agreed to full pours :) read more

Stopped by 20 Spot for a drink after dinner and it was packed at 8:30. Luckily we were able to squeeze into the last 2 spots by the bar. It was buzzing and a really fun spot to drink some wine, though I did see people eating dinner at the bar as well. The food definitely looked good too. I got a red and my bf got a glass of white. I was about halfway through my glass and I wasn't really a fan. I struck up a convo with the bartender, who turned out to be the owner and I realized I had accidentally ordered a glass of a natural red wine! The funkiness and acidity of natural wines is not really my thing, and he was nice enough to pour me a regular glass of red free of charge. He was so knowledgeable and friendly, and I loved that he was in the thick of things working behind the bar. This is a great spot in the Mission, I'll definitely be back to try some of their food out. read more

The ambiance is very cool, orange lighting, interesting designs and song choices. We had the orange wine and some house bread with apricot butter. The bread is so good, crunchy and soft in the center. The wine was light and paired with the apricot butter & bread well. perfect little spot for grabbing a drink, chatting with a friend, and having a small snack in a quiet spot! The service is also good, server was attentive and helpful even though we were the only people outside. Will be coming back again read more

So glad my bf and I stumbled upon this spot on our date night. It's tucked away in the mission, but it honestly such a gem. The ambiance is simply wonderful - it's cozy, intimate, and the decor is one of a kind. It's a very tiny bar so be prepared for a wait for to sit at the bar top. Pretty extensive list of wine, and also a great food menu. Highly recommend this place for the vibes and great service. read more

This is a tiny spot located right across my beloved Garden Creamery - I had never realized it was a restaurant/bar though because in the daytime it looks like an old shut-down record store! Had two glasses of white wine here - the first was the Grüner Veltlinier which was crisp and surprisingly juicy/fruity; the second was an orange/white blend which was a refreshing bookend to the pizza we shared (it had fingerling potatoes and red pepper and although quite tiny, it was very nice) .. both were on the dryer end but still enjoyable for me, despite not being a huge wine/dry wine person. Cozy living room vibes, great for dates/small groups! read more

Went with a friend while Todd was guest cheffing. Everything was delicious. Can't believe it's all made in a tiny kitchen - it's truly outstanding food. read more

Such a cute hidden gem- fun for date night. Great bites to eat and lots of great wine to pick from! Love this spot

Came here on a Saturday night and it was busy but we were waiting for under 20 mins, so really not bad! The servers were very friendly and accommodating. This was a really cute place to enjoy some wine and catch up with friends. On top of that, all the food was amazing!! I'd give it 6 Yelp stars! read more

I really wanted to like this place, but the combination of overpriced wine and rude service makes it hard to want to come back. The ambiance is cozy at night, but so is nearby Casements, TZA, or buddy. read more

Funky and elegant at once. Delicious tres leches cake. Great music. Would definitely come back!

I'm not exactly a wine person (I know, that's illegal in Northern California!) but this wine bar is a go to when I'm near the Mission. The service was great and our waiter took the time to help me select a red wine that I actually enjoyed. When I do drink wine I prefer white but I decided to step out of my comfort zone and I was not disappointed. read more

Was cute the first time I went. I live in the neighborhood. Want to like it, but this place is a straight ripoff. $140 (+ tip) for cheese, olives, tuna poke, and 4 glasses of wine. The cheese was like two selections of hard, tasteless parmeseanesque (not parmigiano) and a softish tasteless white cheese -- uninspired. No blue cheese, no truffles, no caviar, yet $140...joke. The server was imposing, but basically this price is disgusting. I went down the street to lolo and got "dinner" (2 tacos, shrimp albondigas, corn, and 2 rounds read more

Horrible experience! Listen, I'm all about food and wines but the moment you try to sell me on a fake/false experience you lost me. I went to dinner and drinks to this spot based on the great reviews with my best friend. All was going great until we asked for recommendations for food and wine. Instead, the gentleman recommended a $167 bottle. I mean I can spend the money but you chose to be greedy. The first red flag was there and mind you it took them forever to bring our charcuterie board. I also asked for more bread and the service took so long by the time I asked for my check he asked me if he could still bring it. I politely told him no as we didn't have anything else eat the bread with. Unfortunately, I will not be coming here again because of the poor experience. If you actually make good recommendations I would have spent way more money and probably tasted more of your food options. read more

Definitely a warm and cozy spot for having good conversation with friends. They have a great wine list and flatbreads and sides for sharing. Service is brisk in the background without interrupting conversation. Left wanting to come back! read more

Came across this place while looking for somewhere to grab a drink and a bite to eat, and we were immediately seated at the bar. It's a little off the beaten path, but really a hidden gem. The staff was so friendly and vibes were great. Music was on point, and they had a very extensive collection of records. We ordered a couple glasses of wine and the sausage pizza, which was pretty solid. Not the best pizza I've ever had but pretty flavorful and it got the job done. Will definitely come back for a night out with friends to enjoy the great music and good vibes. read more

Always wanted to try this place because they have such a cute sign outside and finally decided to come here on a sunny day for dinner. Was a bit skeptical because their menu was limited but I was really impressed with their food! I think they switch their menu up and use seasonal ingredients. We got a flatbread with sausage and fig and a pasta and split a bottle of wine. The food was delicious, I'd recommend both dishes! Was also tempted to leave with a bottle because most of their bottles were half off. read more

This place is so cute! It's a little small, but the vibe is great. They don't have a huge wine selection for being a wine bar, but I did really enjoy the Pinot Bianco I got. I ordered the Spanish octopus gnocchi , and I really enjoyed it! I'm a huge octopus fan right now, so to be fair, I would probably like any dish with octopus. It wasn't rubbery at all and was really tender. The gnocchi was okay. It was a little too soft for my liking, but the dish as a whole was pretty good. The other good thing about here is that they make all of their pastas in-house which is always a plus! We also ordered the panna cotta which I really enjoyed! It was perfectly creamy and delicious. The only downside was that the waitress we had wasn't super friendly, but she did give us a lot of menu suggestions! read more

Love this, cozy and intimate venue. Perfect for a date night or bite with best friend. :) It's tiny, and tucked in, just enough off the beaten Valencia St. path. Only been here two times, but each occasion was yummy and flawless. Very fair prices. Dinner for two (pizza and salad) with a beer is just under $55. The wait stuff is friendly and attentive at the bar seating. I haven't sat at the tables in the perimeter. However, it looked to me that they were being taken care of quite well, too. I already prefer sitting at the bar as you can hear the vinyl that's playing and you have easy access to the bar staff. Can't recommend their pizza enough!! So good!! The fresh homemade crust is thin and crispy, the marinara is the perfect amount of tangy (spicy sausage is excellent!) And their salads are fantastic (not overdressed). Everything I've tasted on their menu so far has been great. I'm looking forward to returning again! read more

Love/hate with 20 Spot over the years since it opened. On chill nights it's such a great place to cozy up with a book and a glass. The acoustics and aesthetic are a nice neo-psychedelic and music-lovers vibe. I guess it depends on the staff at any given moment. But I've had pathological experiences. One time the bartender tried to convince my mom her wine wasn't too sweet for her -- which was a weird customer experience flex. And tonight we were asked to give over the table just moments after paying and felt quite rushed (we only stayed an hour!)-- left a sour taste with us after some really great food and wine. Ugh, idk. I just feel compelled to warn the community. read more
