My girlfriends and I had the most fun Friday night drinks and dessert here! We got the white wine flights (perfect for trying a few but still choosing what you like) and charcuterie, and two delicious desserts to finish. The wine was amazing, and so were the desserts, our favorite was the Lavender Creme Brûlée! We wished the charcuterie included more cheese, but other than that, we had a wonderful experience. Thanks for having us, Cafe Meuse read more

Still fabulous! Owner Eric Meuse and Chef Vic were in the house tonight! Fabulous wine flight, tasty ahi tuna tartare and lovely atmosphere--salmon colored menus and stylish decor too! Only one thing has been missing this past year--the smoked salmon crostini with greens! read more

Cafe Meuse - Wine Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

The best wine flight deals in the city. There, I said it. Pros: 1. Ambiance - this place is so cute and vibey. It's kind of sexy! 2. Flights - they offer the most amazing deal on wine flights and are super flexible. You can easily make your own - 3 or 4 glasses? White, red or both? The sky is the limit! 3. Indoor/Outdoor - their indoor space feels like you're in a sexy cave with good lighting and vibey decor. The outdoor bistro tables are perfect to take in the cable cars and enjoy people watching. 4. Food - perfect light bites for a fun night out. You can order a few apps and make it a full meal, without breaking the bank. Cons: 1. NONE! This place is amazing and I hope it everyone checks it out! read more

Have recently been loving coming to Cafe Meuse during the week for a glass or two of wine! The food here is great and makes for the perfect weeknight treat! Service is great and quick especially with the food! Also have gotten some great recommendations on reds here! I would say the best tip, especially with the weather getting warmer, would be to sit outside! There is great people watching and some dogs outside as well if you're lucky! read more

Cafe Meuse - Smoked Salmon Toast Points - Wine Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

Cafe Meuse is my absolute favorite wine bar in San Francisco. It has that perfect 90s San Francisco flair -- intimate, charming, and understated cool. Their curated collection of French and California wines is wonderful (at great price point) and the cheese plates are always fresh and generous, along with other delicious small bites that never disappoint. It's my go to spot for an afte work glass of wine with friends, and it's also where I bring out of town guests to experience that quintessential SF vibe. Located on Hyde Street in Nob Hill, with the cable car passing by it feels like a classic San Francisco. The staff are consistently warm, friendly, and accommodating, which makes every visit feel special. I can't recommend it enough read more

We stopped into Café Meuse Wine Bar on our 10-year anniversary the other night..Not knowing what to expect--and it turned out to be one of the best choices we could have made. The vibe of the place is cozy, welcoming, and just what we needed to celebrate. Our bartender, Sam, made the night unforgettable. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and went out of his way to make us feel at home. He suggested different wines for us to try and made the experience so personal and fun. You can tell when someone genuinely enjoys what they do, and Sam's energy and kindness really stood out. It's rare that someone you meet in passing can completely elevate your day, but that's exactly what happened. Café Meuse is officially a new favorite spot of ours, and we'll definitely be back. read more

Came on a thursday and the place was busy. It's a small local wine bar with a few tables. Straightforward menu with a small but easy to read selection of wines. Everything is affordable compared to other wine bars in the city and the servers pour pretty heavy. Quickly became one of my favorite wine bars just because of its charm. It doesn't have the natural interior of Arcana or pretentiousness of High Treason but a great spot altogether if you're in the area. read more

This place has my fav vibes - very sparkly and cozy and nice :) !! We got the bubbles flight, but the other flights are also super nice deals and are def what we'll come back for. The bites also hit the spot - meatballs were tasty and we always love a fresh burrata crostini. Server was quick and attentive, and it was relatively spacious inside. parking is rough here but when is it not ! Overall would def return:) read more

I've been to Cafe Meuse twice and both times I've enjoyed it. The wine selection is fantastic, the food is really good and reasonably priced, and the service is welcoming and friendly. I've been seated right away both times; the place is cute and cozy with warm lighting and there's quite a bit of seating at the bar and tables placed throughout the space, as well as tables to sit outside on a nice day. They also have good happy hour prices. Recommend if you're in the neighborhood looking for a delicious glass of vino. read more

Cafe Meuse - Mixed Charcuterie - Wine Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

Cafe Meuse was such a cute wine bar, and a perfect spot to meet up for a happy hour. They have $2 off their glasses of wine between 5PM and 7PM, which is not an amazing deal, but better than you will find in most of the city. We ordered a Kir Royale and a bottle of wine which was really delicious. The server was very sweet, and split the one Kir Royale between the two of us in two separate glass which I really appreciated, and didn't expect at all. The cafe is very cute, and had some beautiful decorations for the holidays. Definitely a place I'd like to return to. read more

Easily my favorite wine spot in the city. Cafe Meuse is a intimate wine bar located right in the heart of Nob Hill. It is right next to the iconic trolley lines so it makes a great people watching spot. Service is always fast and friendly and I have never had to wait to be seated. Food: I have tried both a charcuterie board, a mac n cheese, and a rosemary creme brûlée. All items were a 5/5 and well priced. Wines: I have done both individual tastings as well as flights. There is a good selection to choose from and the staff or so nice and knowledgable in explaining everything. They are also really accommodating in swapping different wines out for something else. Overall: If you are in Nob Hill and looking for some wine, look no further. Just make your way down to Cafe Meuse. read more

The service here is great. Sam is so nice, helpful, and attentive. Not to mention his witty humor and great sense of style. See you again soon! I love this bar. The cable car goes right through it read more

I wanted some outdoor dining one Friday night after a rough week at the home office, and my friend Sam suggested Cafe Meuse, one of his favorite wine bars. Located in Nob Hill (some reviews say Russian Hill, but I think it's just a smidge closer to Nob Hill), get ready to walk up and down some hills to get there, but it will be worth it--I love the ambiance and vibe. It's a hidden gem among the hills and near the Hyde St cable car line! Sam was doing keto so he was limited in what he could order. I shared a mixed charcuterie board ($15), truffle mac n cheese, and burrata bruschetta with another friend and everything was filling and yummy. Sam got the combo plate ($21) which is described as assorted charcuterie with havarti & smoked gouda cheeses, olives, artichokes & crostini. The one complaint was that the bruschetta was gone too fast, and the truffle mac n cheese could've been bigger! I usually don't like truffles (not a fan of mushrooms) but added to something as homey and delicious as mac n cheese, I did not mind it at all! The charcuterie board is large and has quite a bit of pickles, and olives as well as prosciutto di parma, italian dry salami, hot coppa, sopressata, crostini, and cornichons. We also got some wine recommended to us by our server, and each paired perfectly with our shared small plates. This wine bar would be perfect for date night, girls' night, and any night. I will be back, and as it can be windy, I'll be back with a warmer jacket! read more

Covid update: open for outdoor dining Still a quaint neighborhood wine bar for evening wine and small plates albeit sans the familiar sounds of the cable car for now. Friendly staff work hard to serve the expanded outdoor tables along the sidewalk. Not a parklet but still relaxed and decently comfortable. Enjoyed sharing small plates like the cheese plate, tuna tartare, and mac and cheese washed down with a bottle of cheval blanc. The chill of outdoor dining make hot dishes like the mac and cheese less appealing but highly enjoyed the tuna! With the sun setting later now, Cafe Meuse is a good spot to catch the last bit on sunshine with a glass or two. read more

Cafe Meuse - Ahi Tuna Tartare, mac and cheese, cheval blanc - Wine Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

Cafe Meuse is a cozy local gem. It's also one of the very few wine bars in the neighborhood that's open on a Monday night. The atmosphere is very relaxed, it's the perfect place for a casual glass of wine with a small group. The service is friendly and attentive -- they even let us taste a few wines we were deciding between before we settled on what to drink. I didn't try any of the food, but they do have a pretty long list of small bites to choose from if you're hungry. Overall, it's a lovely spot to unwind and enjoy good wine. read more

simple but cute atmosphere. great for sitting outside or being cozy inside. fun little neighborhood wine bar

I've never left a wine bar in sf and thought "wow that was reasonably priced" but I came here for happy hour and was so pleasantly surprised!! I paid only $9 for a delicious riesling, the service was great, the outdoor seating is nice - there isn't much more I could ask for! read more

I was told to check out this place ever since I moved to the neighborhood, and it's truly become one of my fav spots for a weekday bite or to meet friends, catch up and not have to deal with tourists. The staff knows their wine and there's something for everyone in the menu. Make sure to order a flight of wines! The salads are great, the tuna tartar is awesome, both pasta dishes are delicious... but dear Mr Muse, just get rid of the quesadilla on the menu, it doesn't belong with the vibe and it's beyond bland. Aside from that, this is one of my fav spots in the area. read more

I can't believe I haven't reviewed this perfect neighborhood gem. Excellent wine selection, tasty bites, and you really can't beat the setting. It's totally unpretentious, but also has twinkle lights and the cable cars passing by. It's the perfect spot for a date or a wine night with girlfriends. read more

I came across this place while searching for a wine happy hour spot, and I am glad that I found this place. It is a hidden gem. I ended up ordering two flights of red wine, all of which were amazing. Our server was very helpful in the selection process and went out of her way to provide us with wine that was off the menu. I also ordered a few food items to go with my wine selections. The spinach salad was one of my favorites, and my friend enjoyed the tomato soup we ordered twice. The soup also came with warm bread, which just gave the soup a little extra. I recommend this place to anyone looking for a chill spot to catch up with friends over a glass of wine. One cool thing about this place is you can take the cable car giving you that whole SF experience. read more

Came here with a friend for drinks on a Friday evening and we were seated immediately at the bar. We were a bit hungry so we ordered a plate of bruschetta and a cheese plate in addition to sharing a flight of white wines - both were good but a bit overpriced. I'm not a huge wine expert so the bartender was really helpful in helping us pick a couple of lighter white wines that were all delicious! The crowd was definitely older and the overall vibe of the place was relaxed and cozy. I wouldn't go out of my way to return here but would definitely stop by again if I was in the area! read more

Can't believe I stopped by here for the first time last week! I live in the neighborhood and was looking for a wine bar, preferably one that had a Happy Hour and Cafe Meuse came up. It's a quaint wine bar on the corner of Hyde and Pacific. The inside has some nice seats next to the window, but what's cool is that they have some outside seating where you can watch the trolley cars. During their happy hour, it's $2 off glasses of wine. On top of this, their cheese plate was really solid. Will definitely be back! read more

Quintessential neighborhood wine bar, in one of the best neighborhoods on the planet. Quiet, good seats on the outside. Prices are very fair; food is good. Wine selection is great. Eric hires well; Sam holds down the front of the house with ease, and all of the servers are attentive, professional, and totally down to earth. My go-to neighborhood spot in SF. read more

I lovveee Cafe Meuse! The vibes are excellent, the food is delicious, and the service is welcoming. Such a good place for a chill time

Cute lil wine bar on Pacific! I stopped by to grab drinks with a friend one evening. We were easily able to grab a table and managed to sneak in a happy hour priced drink. They have a selection of food, but it's more for snacking than a full meal. The bruschetta we shared was great. Cafe Meuse has a casual cozy vibe that's really lovely -- I'll definitely come back. read more

Had a great time sitting at the bar Thu evening...tasted a number of wines (great selection!), large pours, vibrant ambience - local feel where the owners made you feel at home. Friend recommended Cafe Meuse (hadn't noticed it before) - I feel like it's one of those places you want to keep as your own secret local go-to gem. read more

Had wine and dinner outside. We had had a big lunch so "dinner" consisted of the 4 of us sharing several different apps and small plates. Service was attentive. prices not bad for SF. lots of wine options and several different wine tasting options. beware a "taste" is what most places would call a full glass of wine. Food: ahi app (5*); buff ckn wings (5*), bread dipped in oil/ balsamic (5*), beef carpaccio (5*), charcuterie board (4*). Spent much of the evening here and it was very nice. will be back. read more

It's a cozy wine bar in Nob Hill that features a wide selection of wine bottles and flights from the menu, to choose from! Opt to sit at the window front seating! It's nice to see the outside instead of fixating on the bar or each other, if you know what I mean. (There are options to linger to and from.) It's good to grab some side bites to compliment the bottle of wine. Their crostini, slices of fruits and cheese selections, is to delve into while drinking up the wine and doing the norm of chit chattering. read more

I don't care much for spiked grape juice these days, but Cafe Meuse is such a cute neighborhood spot, it's hard to resist going in and staying for a few. I like that it has a casual vibe, has a good selection of wines that's not too overpriced and is more quieter than Amelie on Polk st. Even though this wine bar doesn't have the sexy French guys pouring your drink, you can still count on the attractive locals that call it their second home. Happy hour is from 5pm - 7pm which means $2 off per glass! that's a big deal, since you can take your $2, walk over to Trader Joe's nearby and get your two buck chuck! (kidding!) I love my bubbly so I had their cremant brut rose and my gf decided to try their Kir Royale. Effervescent, light, happy. Three words you need on a Monday night. We were enjoying ourselves too much and each had a glass of Grüner Veltliner before heading home. When we got our bill, we were charged for a whole bottle. The staff was very apologetic, but make sure to double check your bill. I love walking around this neighborhood and will most definitely be back for happy hour again. Cheers. read more

Came across this hidden gem whilst walking back to our hotel. On the corner of Pacific Ave at Hyde in the Nob Hill/Russian Hill area. Couple of tables outside, small and intimate inside. Large bar and shelves stocked with wine. Seats at the bar and a few high tops. My kind of wine bar. Our waiter was lovely. She promptly handed us a menu and ordered the cheese plate with a big glass of red wine ahhh! Great cheese plate and reasonable price. So happy we stumbled across Cafe Meuse, A San Francisco Wine Bar. Loved it. High recommend a visit. read more

The Hyde Street cable car chugs by as I walk into Café Meuse. The pale gold walls and twinkling lights give warmth to the small, but open wine bar. I had walked by this wine bar on my way to work many times and after getting on-line and seeing the wide array of whites they offered I had to check them out. I almost took a seat outside but I sat my butt down on a barstool and let my taste buds and brain go on a trip around Europe. My first stop is in Austria-home to Arnold Schwarzenegger and specialty chocolates but also to some delicious Gruner Veltliner. With hints of citrus, this bright and sharp white hit my palate with force and then lingers. I let the wine sit on my tongue and enjoy the ripe tartness on the finish. I have a long layover in Spain where I enjoy an Albarino with fruity aromatics and lovely floral notes.  It opens up on the second sip and I lingered in Spain for a bit longer as I contemplated how this well this would pair with a wedge of Spanish cheese or a seafood paella. My final stop is to France for a Boudreaux Blanc where I am greeted with a balanced and dry wine with notes of grapefruit and honey. The richest of the three, this wine can hold up to a leg of lamb or a hard cheddar. I dream of biking through a small French village on my way to the local bistro for a glass of this wonderful wine. This was no regular flight as the pours were VERY generous. So I  basically had three glasses FULL glasses of wine for $17. Not a bad deal, especially in San Francisco. I didn't get a chance to get a bite but I will be back to check out their cheese plate or potato leek soup. I have a feeling this will become one of my favorite spots on Hyde Street. If you like small, intimate wine bars this place might becomes yours too. Café Meuse at Pacific and Hyde in the Polk Gulch neighborhood. read more

I've lived in the neighborhood for the last few years and have been to Cafe Meuse many times. It's a great no-fuss spot. I usually will get a flight of wine, always with a Vinho Verde. They are knowledgeable about their wine selection and give generous pours. I've been here for girls get togethers and always see couples on dates here! They're well priced and the spot is a great neighborhood gem in Russian Hill, close to Polk, but not too close! It's right off of the 12 bus line and the cable car line and has outdoor seating, which is perfect for those "summer" nights in Spring and Fall.
