    Came here on a Friday evening to grab some wine. They also had live music on Fridays. Pretty chill bar and the outdoor seating was the best for San Francisco summers. The service was great and very helpful.

    Great little spot to enjoy some wine and live music in a heated outdoor area! My group of 6 enjoyed multiple bottles of wine here and had a really nice time. I liked the sauvignon blanc a bit more than the pinot grigio, but they were both refreshing and easy to drink. Really friendly staff and good vibes all around, I would definitely come back to try some of their food offerings as well!

    I was in the North Beach area for a friend's birthday dinner, but we decided to stop somewhere for happy hour beforehand. We stumbled on this place and absolutely loved the outdoor vibes and fire table seating. They also had a live band that was so much fun to listen to! We were able to seat ourselves easily and the servers were pretty nice about helping us get a fire started since it was chilly. We got a cheese board as well as the spritz specials to drink. Overall, super cute spot and I really had a great time!!

    We were in the area for dinner but wanted to stop for a little happy hour so we stumbled on this place. What attracted me was the outdoor seating and they had a live band because it was Sunday! We sat where we wanted and we were helped quickly. We got a little cheese board to snack on and got the spritz to drink. Overall vibes of this place were immaculate. Busy with a great crowd and did the job of a happy hour. If you're in the area waiting for dinner this is a great place to kill some time.

    Great spot for seasonal drinks, finger foods like deviled eggs. They also offer outside seating and a live band.

    This is the bartender that tried to rip us off to pay extra and middled fingered us

    They need to carefully vet their bartenders. Coming to guests and giving them middle finger tying to rio them off is unacceptable

    Slightly spicy Spanish wine that was recommended to us and we forgot the name twice ‍

    My husband and I saw an Instagram reel about Sotto Mare and made our way down to grab a table. It was a 45 minute wait for two people so we walked across the street to Belle Cora and found a pleasantly heated bench seat overlooking the street all lit up in color. The window to the wine bar was open so that we could listen to the gentle live music as we sipped this delectable wine in the ambiance of swaying foliage. The waitress was extremely helpful with our wine choice and made us comfortable with our kindness.

    A lovely wine bar in the heart of North Beach with outdoor seating around cute fireplaces and live music in the evenings! The vibes were so nice to sit around, get drinks, and chat with friends, although we sat right by the live music so it was a little hard to hear my friends. They also have $2 off all drinks after 9pm everyday! One thing to note is that their outdoor seating is open / first come first serve, which means you seat yourself and thus makes it difficult if it's busy and if you have a group. Also, their food menu is extremely limited and have small portions, so I would not recommend coming here if you're looking for dinner in addition to drinks (as my friends and I were unfortunately). Overall the ambiance was really nice though, so I would come back in the evening with a date or friends just for drinks and some small apps.

    Wonderful live music scene in the front outdoors with wine and beer! It's nice ambiance with the added fire pits. It makes the place feel warm and welcoming to dine and enjoy. They have menu for eats too. I enjoyed the space and how they made use of what they have during Covid times!

    Live music!! Saturday night

    Came here after playing pickleball with a Hinge date because we wanted live music, and Belle Cora did not disappoint! They offer a warm, fun parklet and it was packed--we were lucky to get seated without a reservation! We split the Heirloom BLT (Applewood smoked bacon, heirloom tomatoes and romaine on ciabatta) and Sausage and Polenta ('Little City' Sicilian sausage with polenta, tomato sauce and Parmigiano-Reggiano) and some drinks. Everything was very good, and both entrees were $12 each--what a steal! I love how the beers were from local breweries. Service and atmosphere were perfect, will be back!

    We came here for some beer and starters while waiting for our table next door. It was pretty quiet on Valentine's Day but there was a live band outside which was nice to hear. We got the raclette and olives. The raclette was a tad on the small side and tasted okay. The olives were served warm which I've never had before but kinda liked. We had two rounds of beer and our table was ready so this was a nice stop before dinner. Would come again with the live music being a big plus.

    Heat lamps. Music. Locals. Reasonably priced. Best outside area. Strangely good food. All that.

    (Try the pretzels that they fly in from Germany.) The star though is Nils, Belle Cora's GM, who is the heart and soul of the place.

The burrito salad was alright, could have used a little more flavor in my opinion. I really like the small plates and sharing atmosphere of this place, and appreciate all of the vegetarian forward options. The space is small and intimate, definitely great for a date night or girls night! I will say if you make a reservation (I'd recommend, it's a small place and gets busy) be sure to be prompt as part of our group was running about 10 minutes late, and the servers kindly let us know we only had the table for an hour and a half, which is fairly strict on weekends.

We also ordered the non-happy hour burrata salad and the filet kebab. Our server was very attentive, though our main food items were somehow forgotten and we had to remind them.. but once they arrived, everything was great! I loved the pomegranate in the burrata salad. I also appreciated the non-alcoholic options, including my favorite Fentiman's rose lemonade. I would definitely recommend this place, especially for happy hour. My only small critique is the restroom, since the entire restaurant is so classy and chic, it would have been the perfect finishing touch if the restrooms matched the same vibe.

The people were laughing, the drinks were flowing. It smelled really good, which we would later find out was from the food especially that Mac and cheese. We started off with different wines, some that Tom recommended based on what we told him we didn't like or did like. He apologized for our previous experience and was genuinely a nice guy. Honestly it's very admirable for a business owner to take feedback to heart and want to incorporate it. Plus he's a really cool guy when you get to know him. The staff was busy running around but still made time to come check on us. Our final verdict is we came on a bad day. This time we got the actual Waystone experience. We finally got to try the chicken bites with a creamy aioli, fries with yogurt sauce, and the star of the show was the Mac and cheese. Tik tok did live up to the hype and we will have to come back for one of their jazz nights. Be warned this place gets busy! But it's worth it.

    Waystone is technically a wine bar, but spiritually it's a community living room disguised as a…read morejazz lounge with snacks. Yes, the wine is excellent..(not selling you 'natural' actively fermenting bottles) thoughtfully curated... the cab franc , interesting without being pretentious. Yes, the bites hit (shoutout to the watermelon salad). But what really makes Waystone magic is the people. Everyone who works here is warm, funny, and present in a way that makes you feel like you belong, whether it's your first visit or your 50th. Live jazz nights here are their own kind of therapy. I once saw a harpist who made me feel like I was floating inside the music. No cover, no pressure, just ridiculously good musicians making the whole place glow. One thing I love: the rotating local art. The walls change every so often as new artists take over, and it completely shifts the energy of the space. You might not love every piece, but that's kind of the point--it's alive, it's personal, and it's supporting real artists in SF. And if you do love something, you can take it home (yep, everything's for sale). Whether you're here for the jazz, the wine, the art, or the people.. waystone shows up with soul. I'd give it six stars if I could.
