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!
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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!
Such a cute date spot for drinks and snacks! We got a drink here and a few small plates. The Deviled Eggs ($11) and Bread & Butter ($11) were nice bites. The interior is sophisticated but not stuffy. It's got bar seating and tables. The staff are polite and attentive. read more
Cute, tiny but cozy spot! Came for their Wednesday prix fix menu - $79 for 2 people. Not a bad deal, includes 2 glasses of wine and a select # of dishes. But be aware it's one salad, one entree, one ice cream to share between 2 people! Might need to add some other menu items if you're coming hungry. The food we got was very tasty - we added the burrata w/ broccolini which was amazing! Cauliflower steak I thought was fine. 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

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
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

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

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

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. The bartenders were attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. I was also super impressed with how big the bottle list was! I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the city. 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

It was fun to discover Bar Gemini in Mission/Potereo Hill... cozy little bar with a nice atmosphere and a tasty selection of foods and drinks. We got a great cheese board (paired with a French carignane and Austrian blaufrankisch), as well as smoked salmon dip, which was quite delicious. read more
