Visited on Saturday around the afternoon and had no issue with finding a table. I ordered a bottle to drink with my friends, and the staff was super helpful. I got to sample a couple reds before deciding on what I wanted. The wine was brought to my table outside with a chilled bucket which I appreciated. Hope they add Portuguese wines someday! read more

Between dinner and a comedy show, we had some time to kill, so we walked into Bodega thinking it was just a simple wine bar, but it turned out to be so much more. Location: Nestled amongst the line of shops and restaurants on Columbus, this place can be easy to miss, but we were specifically looking for a place to grab a drink before the show. Ambiance: Dimly lit, and intimate, this place is a great date night spot. There's several tables for two and a bar seating area. Very clean, simple, and classic. Drinks: They have a variety of drinks on their menu, but for most types, there's typically just one brand to choose from. I wasn't impressed by their beer menu, but this was after all, a wine bar, so I opted for a glass of their pinot noir. Food: Once we saw food being delivered to tables, I regretted eating dinner elsewhere before -- everything looked SO GOOD. However, I can't comment on taste... Yet. Service: Attentive service at the bar. Would I return? Maybe for dinner and drinks for date night! read more

The vibe and the food was great! My issue was that i ordered garlic bread with my beer and the garlic bread came out over 30 minutes later, when I was almost done with my drink. No one apologized or even acknowledged that I was waiting so long only for garlic bread. When I mentioned it to the cashier she was rude. Overall I'd come back but hope for a better hospitality experience. read more

I can't rave enough about this place. The ambiance, the staff, the food, the beer and the wine. All boxes are checked at Bodega. Bodega is a great place to go when you're not quite hungry enough for a full meal, but you're in the mood for a big, gourmet snack. First, this place has the best michelada. HANDS. DOWN. I've consumed many spicy beers over the years, and this one gets my mouth watering just thinking about it. I'm not sure what their secret is, but it's worth a definite visit just for hat. Their wine and beer selection is quite killer, too. They've got a great balance of whites, reds and rosés from different areas of the United States and all over the rest of the world. Their beer selection is great, too and it's refreshed frequently. As to food, you can't order a bad thing. I will say their charcuterie board is one of the biggest I have seen and had a ton of great options on it. Their brussel sprouts are spectacular, crispy and perfectly cooked, while their sweet potato tacos are soft and tasty. Whether you pop in a for a quick drink, or bring a group to have some snacks, Bodega is a total gem. read more

TLDR; extremely rude staff and no heater (unless you're friends with an employee) We sat down at a table just as the gas for the heater by our table ran out. After our drinks were brought over, we (very politely) asked if they could replace the tank and they said they were out of gas. We sat there for 45 minutes in 48 degree temperatures waiting for another table to leave. When we moved to a table with heat after another group left, the same employee that said they didn't have gas brought out a new tank of gas for the heater we had, dragged that heater over to a group of his friends and sat down and started (continued) drinking with them. That table already had another working heater so I think the extra was only benefiting the employee. If you want employees to drink with guests, great. I really don't care. But, the move with the heater was quite rude and felt malicious. I hope the owner sees and can re-train their employees to put their paying customers first. read more

Cute little spot with authentic, delicious, & unique taco options. Food was served quickly. There is also a bar in the back! Gladiz was patient taking my indecisive order. read more

Bodega - Wine Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

Bodega used to be my favorite wine bar in SF and always recommended it to friends, so I was excited to pass by and pay my support when I was in town this past Saturday night. They always have a wonderful selection of wines and great food but this time around the guy behind the counter made our experience extremely sour. Not sure what his deal was but we all sensed judgement when I asked how to pronounce one of the wines and when it came down to paying, he swiped my card, looked me in the eye and specifically asked me how much I would like to tip. I understand restaurants are struggling, but it is extremely inappropriate to demand a tip amount in any circumstances especially asking someone how MUCH they would like to tip, rather allowing them to enter the amount themselves. I left feeling really uncomfortable. read more

This was a nice bar to hang out with a small group of people! We had a few glasses of wine, and the bartender who served us was great. However, make sure to leave a big tip because the bartenders will loudly confront you for not tipping (even if it was 100% a mistake as it was for me and I made sure to tip with all the cash I had on hand after). I apologized a hundred times over, but it was a loud enough confrontation to get the attention of the whole bar. It made things pretty awkward, so probably will not be going back. Don't make the same mistake I did! read more

Maybe 4.5 stars but lets round up. This place looks like it'd be a little too trendy. A little too cute. A little too for-the-gram. And it's kinda all those things. But they also make a decidedly dank and unphotogenic (in the same way as the rest of the place) patty melt and this creamy mushroom toast which is basically just an open faced mushroom sandwich and both are fantastic. So shoutout to bodega for not limiting themselves to cute food because that's what the general aesthetic would suggest. read more

If you are one of the few who follow my rants and raves, you know I rarely, if ever give 5 stars. I had the short rib tacos. Krista had the cauliflower with capers She also asked for avocado toast from the breakfast menue and they obliged us. The service top shelf The food exquisite. Atmosphere feels like a classic modern neighborhood tavern. Price is fair given the quality of food and service. Coming back! 5 stars only because yelp doesnt allow a 4.9. read more

Bodega is a beautiful spot located in the heart of North Beach in a great location right next to Washington square park! I stumbled upon this quaint cafe while enjoying a lovely day in San Francisco. I was pleased to find great food, a diverse array of drinks, and a warm welcome from the owner, Paria. I also met her sister, Parissa and her husband Eiman. The fact that the whole family is involved makes the place even more inviting and comforting. I had the avocado toast with a pint of Fort Point beer. Most beers on draft are local which is ideal and they're extra generous on the avocado which anyone can appreciate! Clean, fresh, and inviting. Definitely an amazing place to bring a date for light tapas and drinks before dinner or a night out. Highly recommend!! read more

This place is the perfect spot for a date or a girls night. Such great ambiance and delicious starter plates and great wine!

Sexy spot... perfect little tapas wine bar. It's small, so think date, friend meet(2-4 max), etc. Get a bottle of your fave and the short rib tacos. Good music, food, vibes... read more

Bodega is just what I was hoping for in North Beach. Amazing staff, excellent food and wine, soundtrack is spot on, decor all love. Thank you! I've been staying in, now I can come out for good bites and drinks at the wine bar. I ordered the chicory salad and the short rib tacos. Happy with hints of Mexico (there's a severe lack in this hood), champagne and bistro touches. read more

Bodega - Mmm, Spanish red - Wine Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

I'm so excited about this new little restaurant! The owners revamped the space into a gorgeous and inviting coffee/wine bar. Perfect for a weekend brunch, or a romantic date night. They have a small but tasty menu, and their food is super fresh and high quality. Our server mentioned that that they hit up the farmer's market three times a week, and tailor that week's menu to whatever's in season. The dishes we ordered corroborated that - the two toasts and salad that we ordered were beautiful and the fruits/veggies tasted like they'd just been picked. Looking forward to making this a regular spot! read more

Looking for a good wine bar or date spot in North Beach, this is your place. Super cute location, and convenient to Washington Square Park. Service is great, and wine, and beer selection is also on point. Really have no complaints and have come back a few times. Solid date night spot if you are looking for somewhere to grab drinks in North Beach! read more

Extremely rude staff. Over an hour before closing, we walked in and they said they just had last call. They were extremely indignant about it and completely lacked any customer service skills. read more

This place is a diamond! Great wines... fantastic service, and awesome food. So happy this young man is in the kitchen. Would love to see a full scale menu from him. As for the service... the young woman that served us gave great advice as what would go well together and has a good knowledge of the wine she serves. She was very engaging and pleasant to talk to. The feel of the place is relaxing and so comfortable... didn't love the music but that's purely preference and didn't take away from the experience, at least for us. When I come to San Fran... this will alway be a "must go to" place for me!! read more

Bodega - Fantastic wine!! - Wine Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

Best Tacos I have ever had, service took a little while but it was busy. Is a loud area, but food was quick and new drinks at least every month read more

Favorite neighborhood spot when we lived in North Beach. Everything is delicious.

This was a nice place. Really nice ambiance. The staff was friendly and attentive. We had a bottle of wine, so our experience was rather limited, but we'd definitely return. read more

Totally obsessed. New favorite neighborhood spot. I walked in and was overcome by their tomatoes roasting. Intoxicating! Of course had to order the tomatoes and egg and it did not disappoint. Also ordered the ricotta toast. Where is this bread from?! Might be the best slice of bread I've ever had - flaky, light, crunchy! The whole thing comes together so well - only slightly sweet, love the sesame seeds. Quite beautiful. The ambiance is incredible - bright, open windows, friends hugging, opening champagne, great music. Staff is so sweet. Great recommendations. Friendly. Attentive. Can't wait to come back soon!! read more

Bodega - Tomatoes and egg. Mexican hot chocolate. - Wine Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

I'm a little reluctant to write this review because I don't want everyone to find out how amazing Bodega is. I came here on a whim with a group of friends and we were all so happy with our experience! The food and wine was incredible but the service was even better. Our waiter was the best! He gave us excellent recommendations along with generous glasses of wine. He even brought us samples before we committed to a glass. We truly appreciated the excellent service! In terms of food, our group shared a variety of small plates of brussels sprouts, charcuterie, and garlic bread. We loved it all and would return in a heartbeat! read more

Wow, the BoDega melt And the short rib tacos phenomenal. The sauce in both were so so so very delicious. Scrumptious is the word I would use to describe them both. Our fellow patrons seem to really enjoy the wine, Which we did not partake in.Totally recommend this cute little spot, clean and romantic and very modern North Beach. read more

Bodega is a must for anyone heading to North Beach! I cannot speak more highly of the food and wine selection these guys have curated! The space is bright and chic with a wonderful ambiance that makes it perfect for a catch-up with friends or a fun date place! Paria and Lalo have done a great job at making this local wine bar a real north beach gem! Love it! All the tacos are to die for!! I will be back to try the rest of the menu!!! read more

Have been here a few times and the service has gone downhill. The staff at times is unapproachable and cold. I wanted to grab a glass of wine about an hour and half before they closed and was told they already did last call....last call an hour and half before closing that's ridiculous. Cute place but staff makes or break a restaurant. read more

This place is somewhat misrepresented as a dog friendly restaurant with outdoor dining. The outdoor patio consists of a few narrow stands (not really tables) in the equivalent of an ally, drafty, cold and uninviting. Inside the place is mobbed by young people having a loud and raucus time, which is good, for the people and the neighborhood. The food is well recommended. This is clearly a place to have a good time. But they should drop the bit about outdoor dining. read more

This place deserves a 10 star if I could rate it that higher. The food and the drinks are great! The atmosphere is amazing and the people that work here are very kind and good energy. Recommend this place to anyone that wants a safe and happy night with friends and family! read more

Love this spot! Attended a friend's birthday party here one Saturday afternoon, and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The ambiance is fun, fresh, and delightfully rustic (the most rustic part being an outhouse-inspired bathroom out back!) Had to dock a star because service was dreadfully slow. We would order things at the bar and wait approximately 20-30 minutes for them to show up. It also took a little cajoling from the staff to get. Despite the wait for food, we had a great time and when the food did show up it was very tasty. Bodega is a wonderful addition to the neighborhood and I hope to see them there for many years to come. read more

Great little wine bar that oozes class! The wine is fabulous, the service is friendly and they also have food which we ordered the mushroom toast and it was yummy! They also bring you water in these cool brown bottles. The little touches here and there go a long way! Cool ambiance too. read more

Literally the rudest staff I've experienced. You work in the service industry. It is literally your job. Maybe they were uncomfortable with me talking to them like a normal person, or every staff member is having a bad day every time I'm there. I only come back because the decor is nice and girls like it for some reason. read more

Come here for the homey vibe and try some esoteric wines some can be sold out even though they have it on the menu. They have great sangria. Great location in the middle of North beach. read more

Great food and decor. I highly recommend this place. Not only is each dish delicious, the service is impeccable.

Classy little wine bar. The staff are friendly and treat everyone like family. But you're really missing out if you only get drinks. I had the carnitas tacos, the spare rib tacos and the mushroom toast, and it was AMAZING! Some seriously gourmet stuff! They're just little plates of food, but they're totally worth every dime. Great location, great classic hip-hop playing (loud enough to enjoy, but not TOO loud to be able to converse at a normal speaking volume) and I learned of their "no laptop" policy - this ain't Starbucks. They want their patrons to converse and mingle and have actual, analog interactions. It's a "be here now" kind of philosophy, which I thought was cool. I'll be back to try the beef and pork meatballs and the halibut ceviche! read more

This is a great little wine bar, perfect for date night. It's pretty small so I wouldn't recommend groups larger than 3. The location is great, nearby a ton of great restaurants in SF. I came here to wait for my dinner reservation to come through at Tony's. The service was great, very attentive and friendly. The people here genuinely seem to enjoy working there which is always good to see. We were able to taste a few of the wines off the menu before settling on our glasses. The wine list was pretty extensive too, but not too much so you don't feel overwhelmed. I liked that they put all the notes for each wine so you know what flavor profile to expect. We also ordered some brussel sprouts, which were surprisingly delicious and came with jalapeno and feta cheese, which added a lot to the flavor. The carnitas tacos also smelled so good and I wish I ordered those as well. Would definitely come back here to try more food! read more

AMAZING WINE, food, decor, & staff!! Bodega is more than just a wine bar, it's a community. Thanks to the staff and ownership, my husband and I frequent this place. They have a the BEST avocado toast I've had in SF. The pesto sauce and presentation is to die for. My husband branches out and always tries what's new. He has been on cloud 9 with every meal. We love their home made sangria, their variety of craft beer, and chatting it up with the staff. You might see us the next time you're there! read more

I'm absolutely obsessed with Bodega. Hands down the best wine bar in North Beach. Paria and Lalo know how to pick fantastic wine, create delicious food items, and are the best hosts around. Whether you're in for brunch or dinner, you can't go wrong with the food items. For brunch, I'll always order the Ricotta toast and Avocado toast. For dinner, I love the Short Rib Tacos and Chicken Liver Mousse. The wine and beer selection is great. Wide variety of non-California wines (rare in San Francisco!) and lots of craft beers. Great vibes all around. Lots of energy, good music, and happy people. Bodega is always a must! read more

So here I am freshly landed in San Francisco, in a city I have yet to discover, completely jet lagged from the east coast/west coast flight. And I'm hungry. I did not feel like eating in a crappy fast food in a place with bright fluorescent lights. Nor did I want, as I was by myself, to eat in a restaurant that was too formal. Yelp to the rescue! A quick search on what was close to the hotel, and I found this little gem. Just what I needed! First, the vibe. I loved (LOVED!) the dark-ish ligthing, mostly coming from the red neon sigh. Beautiful place, designed yet casual, warm, inviting. Being alone, I sat at the bar. I ordered the gruyere grilled cheese with bone marrow onions, and the sauteed brussels sprouts with jalapeños. Absolutely decadent, delicious, comforting. Yep, just what I needed. Oh, is that craft beer you have on tap? Oh yes, I'd like one please! Faction Brewing from Alameda, kudos for this WES KAAP IPA, an excellent IPA hopped with african hops. Sated, fully satisfied of this evening, I walked back to the hotel, ready for a good night sleep, excited for the day to come. read more
