Such a cute date night spot for bites and a stellar wine selection. I love the decor of this place, the dark wood and lighting makes it such an elevated date night spot. We made reservations for a Friday night to have some small bites and wine Loved the curry nuts and highly recommend the potato chips with salmon dip. Our servers were great and super attentive, food and drink came out very quickly as well! read more

Adorable interior. We got the deviled eggs and burrata! Both were super yummy. Definitely a tad pricey for wine and the glass size but that's just a personal preference I think. I recommend for light bites and splitting bottles! Update: thank you for confirming the pour size! Would love to stop by on Monday or Tuesday for discounted bottles. read more

I recently checked out Bar Gemini for a post-dinner drink and we were happy that there were seats open for 2 on a Thursday night. My friend and I each got a glass of their lambrusco which was nice and on the drier side. I also tried my friend's smoked salmon dip which was rich and comforting, served with potato chips but the pricing felt steep at $20 for a small creamy dip. I love the idea of a wine bar with tapas but the food menu here didn't excite me much. The ambiance is warm and cozy, great for the chilly winter evening we went on. The vibes are nice and perfect for a date night but I'd probably only come again for drinks. read more

Bar Gemini - Wine Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

Total hidden gem in the Mission with an amazing selection of natural wines. The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable, and helped us pick the perfect wines to pair with our food. Ended up trying a few things we normally wouldn't order and loved every recommendation. This is the perfect spot for a date night or catching up with friends. Can't wait to go back! read more

Absolutely immaculate vibes honey!! I could stay here for hours, which makes sense why the place is always so packed. I'm so upset that we had dinner before coming here because I saw they had two dollar oysters!! I almost cried! Great deals on wine but I can't wait to come back and try the food. Overall, the ambiance and menu is a must try here. read more

Nothing was bad but nothing was amazing either. I think my issue is the pricing felt a bit too high. We ordered grilled cheese, smoked salmon dip, and spritzes. Each food item was $20, which felt a bit steep given the grilled cheese came with no actual sides and the dip was quite small so we had good amount of chips remaining with nothing to dip in. The grilled cheese came with mustard and a few pickled veggies and they did pair well together. I do advise eating it while it's still hot because my friend and I took a while to finish it while talking and the texture got really greasy the more it sat. I think there are other bars in the city with an upscale vibe, better food and drinks for around the same price but bar Gemini is worth a visit if you are in the area read more

Cute wine bar. The food was good but the service could be better. Seemed like the servers were very nonchalant. Overall if you're looking for a wine bar with small plates, bar Gemini is worth trying. We did make a reservation, so didn't have to wait to get a table! read more

We came in late on a Tuesday or Wednesday night and were able to make it for last call on food! We just ordered a couple deviled eggs to try (their food menu is from Ernest) and got half a bottle of wine for a nightcap. Loved their service, their wine selection was good! I've heard good things about their grilled cheese so would love to try next time. read more

I love the vibes of this place. We sat at one of the booths, and it felt very cozy! The music was definitely an interesting selection (super diverse) but it was a good volume; we were all able to talk and hear each other normally. We tried so many different types of wines from the orange to the white to the red. Really loved the cab! Service was also fast and attentive. read more

Went here for an event tonight, and such a wonderful find - warm and cozy atmosphere, really love all the wood decor and warm lighting. The food was delicious (especially the deviled eggs with caviar and the salmon dip) and Alex the owner is super nice and really takes care of his guests. Can't wait to come again! read more

Decent food with some really kind people serving behind the bar. It's a simple, trendy , straight forward kind of place. It's a small & intimate ambiance here which I liked. It was for sure cramped but it felt ok though maybe since it was Friday night. read more

Tried this place with a friend and enjoyed stopping by this bar, as I have been exploring wine bars in the area. We arrived right as they opened, and were able to get an outdoor table under a heater (which was very powerful, so we continued to enjoy our outdoor space even as the night got chilly!). We each ordered a wine flight, which felt like great value for the price at $25 for 3 generously poured glasses. And while the food was delicious, we found that it was quite expensive. In the future, I would likely come back just for the wine, and not the food. We paid $12 for a plate of cheese, which had 2 slices of cheese and a small amount of nuts. It was an additional $12 for salami, and $3 for bread. It seems like a very popular spot, and was completely full both indoors and outdoors by the time we were ready to leave. read more

Lovely atmosphere, casual but elegant as well. Tried one of their orange wines and it did not disappoint.

Bar Gemini had a great selection of wines, the setting was relaxed and intimate. Grilled cheese sandwich and salmon dip was great - wish they had a more extended menu of bites, I would grab food before/after but otherwise the menu provides a solid girl dinner read more

Very cute place! Inside is very cozy and there's some sidewalk tables as well for a nice afternoon outside. I didn't try the food so I won't comment on that, but I had two glasses of wine that were very underwhelming. I appreciate that they're trying to bring in different styles than the typical international varietals but both wines I had, had almost no finish and fell flat. Might try the place again at some point and update this review. read more

Such a cute and nice spot tucked away. It's a smaller wine bar but the inside is so swanky. It's a great place for a date. The area feels safe. The service was great, attentive and friendly. I love that they have food on their menu. From what I tried, it was good quality too. We ordered some bread and deviled eggs. I definitely want to come back soon. read more

Bar Gemini - Cacio e Pepe deviled eggs - Wine Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

Intimate and cozy bar with an excellent wine and beer selection. The interior is gorgeous but small, dominated by the bar. The walls look like they're made of green velvet but it's actually concrete. The service was friendly, and they made to sure to keep our glasses full. The food is from Ernest, which was a treat. The bread is from Rize Up Bakery and highly recommended with the wine. read more

Great spot, super classy even though it's a bit small. They did ask if we had a reservation upon arrival, but we were able to get seated immediately without one (I think we got lucky). All 3 of us enjoyed our wines, and loved their tinned fish selection and salmon dip. The menu is pretty limited overall. Would definitely come back to try more of the drinks and the food. read more

Went for drinks and had a glass of the sparkling red wine and grenache. They were okay. Got quickly seated with a group of 6 with no reservations on a monday evening. The food was fun but not worth getting twice. Got the cacio e pepe deviled eggs which were just boiled eggs with parmesan cheese shaved over it. The ice cream sundae was also underwhelming. Cute place tho! read more

A beautifully curated lil wine bar in the outer mission. I ordered an orange and a red to pair with tinned fish (sardines) and bread. A simple lil outing at an establishment that's all about natural wines. They have a bottle shop as well in the city. I'm a casual wine drinker, so by no means am I an expert but John was my guy during this experience and he was such a chill guy who knows his stuff and provides great service. Totally recommend this spot for a post work drink or even a lil pre-dinner date night. Situated right next to Osito in the outer mission. read more

Very cute wine bar. They only have wine and beer. The beer selection on draft is very limited. They serve small bites and dips from the restaurant Ernest. Which makes me wonder if it's the same owner? If you haven't had a chance to go to the restaurant, this is a good chance for you to try some of their food without having to get a reservation. Bartenders are very chill. Overall a great vibe and would definitely come back. read more

You walk up and you get nice vibes. The decor is trendy, cozy, sophisticated, and you instantly feel peckish and can't wait for a glass of wine. Reading the menu it is hard not to order everything. I'm not the biggest fan of bar bites because the prices quickly rack up but these are pretty worth the sticker shock once you get the bill. I've gotten the beans and the labneh several times and they've always hittttt. I do wish the labneh came with more bread though because even globbed on each bite of bread you'll have a lot of labneh leftover unless you eat it by itself. This last time I went we also got the meats plate - I asked how big it was and the server looked at me like I was crazy (I think it's a pretty reasonable question *shrug*). It was all tasty and I especially loved the pickled veggies it came with. It was a perfect snack for 2 people. Aside from this instance, the service has always been really friendly and helpful when it's come to accommodating seating or recommending wines. This place is a neighborhood gem! Would highly recommend, especially if you're coming here on a date or just want somewhere you can sit and have a drink and actually hear the people you're talking to. read more

me and my sister went today and sat right when they opened service: not good! middle aged lady bartender was downright rude as soon as we entered and attitude continued throughout our experience and that made us leave a lot sooner than intended, still pondering over what might have caused this bad service towards me and my sister, to mention that not once were we asked how are we liking our food/drinks (basic service!) food: ordered white bean hummus and added on bread and it was super delicious 10/10 crackers were not delicious wine: ordered the chilled red and red from slovenia both glasses were not pleasant, the chilled red was better but the red from slovenia honestly smelled like a dirty farm and had that same dirty aftertaste :( ambiance: 10/10 super cute spot! read more

Great vibe, cozy booths, and amazing service. Almost everything we ordered was delicious. However, I was disappointed with the Cacio e Pepe 'deviled' eggs - they weren't really deviled. They were just medium bodied eggs topped with parmesan and pepper. read more

New favorite happy hour spot! 25% off bottles plus some snacky food (including a snack assortment of their best sellers). Great sport for chilling with friends but also impressive for a first date. Server was so friendly and helpful on choosing a bottle. Steered us away from a natural rose that apparently "tastes like sunscreen." As a not-fan of the natural wine trend, this was super helpful. read more

The burrata was the best I've had. Food delicious. Lovely natural wines, great service. Only downside, way too pricy for tapas and wine.

This place is super cute, great vibes and really great food. The deviled eggs are a must along with the sausage. I went with a group and got a bunch of things to share read more

the waitstaff were really fast and efficient, unfortunately they didn't have any sweet wines on the menu but the orange wine we ordered was delicious read more

Bar Gemini has friendly service, an amazing bottle selection and a beautifully decorated bar. I stopped in with some friends after having previously visited a mediocre natty wine bar elsewhere in the city. Bar Gemini came to the rescue.

okay bar gemini is like... fine the interior is cute but it feels a bit too clean and manicured for my particular taste. the wine here was pretty good but the staff was a bit underwhelming service wise. I had the tinned fish with some seed crackers and unfortunately the fish was not seasoned / salty at all??? sort of a let down. and also it wasnt fishy???? i mean it's in a fun spot but tbh just go to true laurel read more

This place is one of my current FAVES to start the night. Well priced bottles of wine, unique appetizers, and WONDERFUL staff. If you can- I'd recommend sitting inside, because it's GORGEOUS. I had been craving deviled eggs so my partner made us a reservation here at Bar Gemini. The staff was quick to attend to us and moved us inside halfway through our visit (because some spots opened up). Perfect timing to save us from the winter chilly weather. The deviled eggs hit the spot! We also got a grilled cheese that was good . read more

Bar Gemini - Lambrusco (I think), and deviled eggs - Wine Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

Not sure his name but the server was ridiculous. Glasses and a piercing. I tried to sit at one off the tables inside as a party of 2 and was denied online automatically, denied via instagram DM, then denied at the door when we walked in (only parties of 3 at tables they said which is totally cool but that was not reality). 4 parties got sat at these tables and 3 were 2 people...after leaving a fat tip for just wine I asked the server about it and he threw a fit. The one line that stuck out to me was "I have rent to pay, I can't sit two people at a table" - cool, then why did you sit multiple parties of 2? He had zero explanation and his other responses were "have a good night" and "did you have a bad time?" I even said sorry for coming at you like this multiple times but didn't get the same back. Bar Gemini is awesome, very poor employee but I'm not going to let that dictate the actual business. Very odd behavior. Still got love for him and BG but figure it out. read more

We came for the Chicken Dog popup. Great attentive service; we were seated outside and our server seemed very attuned to how cold we were and turned up the heat lamps. So nice! Ambiance is beautiful. Lovely space. Chicken Dog bagels are the best in the Bay, served today with delicious trout. Hope this popup comes back! I'll come back to Bar Gemini regardless read more

Stopped by this local wine bar before heading out to dinner and I am so glad we did. Wine was amazing, service was impeccable and salmon dip was absolutely delicious. Love the cool hip vibe. Thank you Sonja and staff for your hospitality. We will return read more

Have been waiting for this bar to open! Friends and I decided to drop in after dinner at nearby Earnest and got a cozy booth spot that fit us all comfortably. Apparently they serve food from Earnest there too! The service was super friendly and we enjoyed the wine. The space inside was intimate and hip but I'm excited to come back to sit at their outdoor tables that have heat lamps! read more
