Stopped by Fool's Errand for happy hour (M-F 2-5) and really enjoyed the experience. It's a cozy wine bar with great vibes. We ordered the $9 Sauvignon Blanc and took advantage of the free popcorn while sitting outside to enjoy the nice weather. Overall, such a chill spot for a relaxed afternoon drink. read more

Beer, wine and snacks a great simple menu for a great neighborhood spot. We like to come in early evening and sit outside sipping wine and enjoying the neighborhood. The staff are great the beers and wine rotate so you get to try many options and just a good vibe. It's a gem in the neighborhood. Cheers read more

Fool's Errand - Wine Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

First off - when you're in the neighborhood and the sun is setting this place becomes the vibe. Cabin-ey vibes. Moody and dim lit with a wooden bar and tables. If you hate overhead lighting this is the place for you. It is a place you should enjoy a good wine or a rotating craft beer, and on a cold night gives subtle but potentially raucous apres ski vibes. If that's not your vibe then have a seat and take in the excellent selection of niche wines widely unavailable elsewhere int the city near the back- where you can enjoy and purchase to go bottles. Highly recommend. Also- the kindness from the employees is what continues to have me come back again. I want to appreciate this cabin-ey quiet but vibey and homey spot. read more

Such a great vibe inside and out! My first time here I came for the happy hour and we sat outside which was so cute and they provide free popcorn during happy hour! I've also come before on a Friday night and it's a great vibe inside too. Workers are always so nice and there's a great wine selection. One of the best bars on Divisadero! read more

Fool's Errand - Happy hour white wine and free popcorn - Wine Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

Pretty strange experience here. Upon arriving, I asked a couple simple questions and was met with coldness and a "holier-than-thou" attitude from the guy behind the bar. The place was nearly empty, so it's not like they were too busy to greet a new customer or even make eye contact, at a minimum. They also charge a 3% "Credit Card Surcharge Fee" which is just lame and borderline offensive for a beer that already costs $10. Lastly, the bathroom (or one of them if there are multiple) is borderline creepy inside. read more

This is a great place to casually gather with friends and enjoy wine or beer. The atmosphere is cool, casual, and far from fussy. Our group of 4 was able to snag a table in the very back, which was neat because it felt like our own little VIP room. The food menu here is very limited but offers just enough snacks to accompany the main star here, which is THE WINE. Feel free to stroll to the back and pick out a bottle of wine on display. The selection is generous and vast. Fool's Errand is small but mighty, truly a gem on the Divis corridor. I have bookmarked this establishment, and it will remain a favorite destination among my group of friends. read more

Fools Errand is my favorite wine and beer bar probably in SF. It's a great spot for any type of date night cause then afterwards you can pop over to the Emporium and go play games. They're happy hour is amazing although very limited options but it's worth it. During happy hour, you can also ask for a bowl of free popcorn! read more

Always enjoyed this place! On nice days there's outdoor seating available. Several big tables good for groups or sharing with small groups. Unique wines to try. Recently introduced a non-alcoholic drink selection and the sparkling rose was one of the best I've had. Free popcorn during happy hour. Order at the bar. read more

Very cute wine bar! It was pretty crowded but we grabbed a couple of glasses and were able to find a spot to sit and enjoy next to one of the front windows. Would visit again if I'm in the area! read more

#foolserrand Service was excellent, amazing bar under ground! #bestchefinsanfrancisco - this place 100% has the best chef (senor) in the city at a place that doesn't push their food. Guy is absolutely amazing and enjoys pleasing his customers. Check it out SF!! #checkitoutSF #SFfoodscene #bestofSF #bestofsanfran #bestofsanfranciso read more

I'm going to sound so old, but damn is this place dark and loud. Definitely didn't give off the traditional wine bar vibe. We came in on a Friday night around 7:30 and the place was packed. The front room had a decent amount of large tables and all were completely filled. We rounded the corner and there was some bar style seating as well as a wine room with two high tops. You get menus and order at the counter, something that wasn't entirely clear when we arrived. After using our phone backlights (not flashlights, we're not that old yet) to look at the menu we headed back up to the bar to order. The menu wasn't that big. There were a couple bubbly options and about 5-6 white and red options. I didn't look at the beers but they did offer a sour so seems like they had a decent variety. We ended up leaving after one drink, it was just too loud and not the vibe we were looking for. read more

Good selection of beer, wine and other beverages. Bartenders are super friendly and efficient. Great place to throw back a few inside or out with a few people or a large group. It's a dog friendly spot too! We get the beers, charcuterie plate, and tomatoes salad. Yum. They also have a Happy Hour on M-F, 2-7pm with $5 on select beers and wines and free popcorn. read more

went with a group of friends after dinner for a night cap- the bartender was so unbelievably rude and no one in our party of 6 understood why. they were annoyed when we ordered drinks and acted like we were an inconvenience, even though they were the ones confused about our names, tabs, orders, etc. Truly terrible service. Won't be back. read more

Super cute date spot! Solid beer and wine selections. We like stopping here for a drink on our way to dinner or after work. On a warm sunny day their parklet is a go-to for many, so get there early to get a seat outside. This is a drink spot only - no food menu. read more

I think I had the best riesling of my life here. I think we probably all need to be drinking more riesling, especially on one of our rare hot evenings. Might just need to get the whole bottle next time. read more

A very nice wine bar on divisadero in NOPA. The bartender is always friendly and they pick up glasses at your table very quickly. Ambiance is fun with occasional local art. Happy hours they have free popcorn and decent beer deals. 6 or 7 standing tables for groups of 4-6. Two or 3 sit down tables inside and about 10 small tables outside next to the street. Lively on weekends but still a chill wine bar. read more

Cute little wine bar! You have to walk up to the counter to order and then select your seats. Great selection of beer. From my experience I had great service. My server was very sweet and told me about the drinks they had on hand. She gave me a few tastings, but ultimately they didn't have anything by the glass or bottle that was comparable to a full bodied Merlot. Thank you! read more

John, the owner, is truly something else and not in a good way. Rude, dismissive, and dripping with misogyny, he treats customers like they're beneath him. I didn't even stick around long enough to try the wine because the vibe was that bad. Do yourself a favor and spend your money somewhere that actually deserves it. read more

I sat down with a lady friend. Went inside to get a couple glasses of wine and came back out and sat down. I asked her if I was correct in seeing some floaters in her glass. I was. So I brought the glass in and was told that it's just a little wax and that it's not bad to consume. I just stared at the guy. He got all pissy, took the glass, dramatically poured it out and then refilled the glass with a very weak pour. Look, I don't mind paying $16 for a glass of wine that costs that much for the whole bottle at the store, I don't mind paying $6 tip for 2 glasses of wine. But if I come back with floaters, save the attitude and apologize for the oversight. read more

I remember when it was a bicycle shop So same lay out, lots of tables instead of bikes, wine instead of beer...we came on a night before a show and the crowed was loud. Not a place to come for first date, come with your friends, drink and get loud. read more

Visiting from Texas where service and hospitality are key. Ordered 2 glasses of wine and received a very small pour. The wine was flat and sour and when I asked for something else the owner stated "it is good. You're welcome to purchase something else but I won't replace it". Everyone at our table tasted the wine and agreed. Furthermore, if you're going to serve crap wine maybe let people sample before pouring a glass...just a thought read more

Moving back to SF from a couple years out in New England, I was expecting to have to lower my standards on beer again. It's not that there aren't great breweries in the Bay Area, but far too few liquor stores and bars actually have them available. Fortunately, in my absence from the area, Fool's Errand opened on Divis! While I am bummed that this was preceded by Mojo Bicycle's closure, I couldn't be happier with Fool's Errand taking over the space. Fool's Errand has an impeccable beer selection, and from what partner says, also has an excellent wine selection (particularly, Riesling). When I say impeccable beer selection, I'm talking about draft and can varieties of Cellarmaker, Alvarado, Temescal, Moonraker, etc. They also rotate out their beers on a weekly basis, so you can almost always try something new each time you go. As a bonus, they offer beer (and wine) to-go too! This is great for a variety of reasons, but particularly because this place gets pretty busy on a weekend and I don't necessarily want to fight for a seat to drink a beer. Someday if I can manage it, I will stop by for their happy hour which is every weekday afternoon. Perhaps then I can grab a coveted seat out in their street-side patio area. read more

My housemates, they're roommates or are they, idk anyways we were strolling down divisadero after being disappointed by the mill and its huge crowd and in our attempt to seek refuge we came across Fool's errand whilst on a fools errand and decided what the hay a glass of wine wouldn't hurt and wouldn't you know it was happy hour! We got seated right away and served with a quickness three glasses of wine (each?) and free popcorn Not only was the popcorn free because of happy hour, but it was slap your mama level good and I debated putting some in my purse for later Anyways strongly recommend the vibes were immaculate and its 5'oclock somewhere and that somewhere was here read more

My girlfriend and I wanted one more round before calling it a night. I yelped places around our dinner spot and found Fool's Errand. We walked in on Wednesday, October 17th around 7:15pm. I ordered at the cash register and found two seats at one of their long communal like tables. *Matthiasson "Linda Vista" Chardonnay Napa, California 2017 ($15 glass) x2 *Vina Sastre Tempranillo Crianza Ribera del Duero, Spain 2014 ($15 glass) x2 I'm more of a red girl, so I got the tempranillo. I usually prefer cabs as I like my wines full bodied and bold. This one was fine as we just had dinner, so we didn't pair our drinks with food. My gf is typically a sauvignon blanc or chardonnay girl, so she enjoyed her wine. It was rather busy when we got here, so I'm glad we found a spot to sit down. The cashiers were sweet. I think I've been here before when it was a beer bar and the layout is pretty much the same. It's just a wine bar now. And no more bicycles. They do serve food, so you can have some snacks while drinking your wine. Cute neighborhood wine bar. read more

In this economy when we WANT to support small businesses... they're charging default 20, 25 and 30% tip for you to bring your drink to your own table. And better yet! You have to take out your own trash there are much better more worthy small businesses with better customer service to support. Go to downtown. read more

This place has good selection of beers and wine, and a great outdoor parklet, however the service was poor and somewhat rude. I asked to sample a couple IPAs on tap to see which one I'd like to get and was told I could only have one sample in a rude tone. I would understand if the place was busy or there was a line but I was the only one there as it just opened. Then later as I was ordering my second round of drinks and asked if I could get another order of the free happy hour popcorn with no seasoning or less seasoning because it was salty AF and was told that that it was pre made with seasoning(which it was not, because I watched them add seasoning when I got my first order), furthermore I was then told that I was the first person to ever complain about the popcorn and that everyone loves it...as if I were the problem. I'm sure the popcorn is usually good but just maybe perhaps today's batch was slight more salty, just like the bartender. Been going to this place since it opened up 4 years ago and even before when it was Mojos and want to continue going here but this past visit was definitely a salty experience. read more

Cute little spot in nopo. Met up with Liam, Abe, and Clare for a few drinks after pizza night. Super cozy vibe and lots of people which add to the atmosphere. Got the bear necessities and was a pretty good cider. Went down like juice. Great lil bar. read more

A nice place to grab a drink after work. We strolled in after hitting up a different spot. It was kinda of crammed and there isn't a bunch of seats. The bartender was nice and he assisted us in selecting a bottle. He actually recommended a bottle over individual glasses since there were three of us drinking. Drinks served with a complimentary bowl of popcorn. The atmosphere was nice and there were soft tunes playing the background. There's reasonably priced bottles of wine to fit any budget. My friend broke a glass and they brought her a new glass of wine even though we tried to tell them her glass was empty. read more

Came here after dinner from around the block on a Thursday night while it was raining - it was quite busy inside but managed to find seats right away!

I think it's the first time I'm leaving a bad review, but I also felt like we were a little scammed tonight. We just moved to SF with my husband from NY in February and we were trying to explore new places. This bar looked very cute. The only problem was when I ordered the Pino Noir, they had it listed as number 1 on the menu for $14, but it ended up being over a $100 bill after 3 rounds of drinks for us. When my husband nicely asked if there was a mistake, the bartender said that I had ordered a $20 wine. I don't want to sound cheap, but first of all, I did not order that, and secondly, she didn't even ask me and just assumed it was the most expensive option. We felt pretty bad. Obviously, we won't be coming back and we won't be recommending this place. read more

Super cute wine bar - great wine and cozy ambiance. The staff was very helpful and accommodating and let us switch wines after not enjoying our first glass read more

This is the perfect happy hour spot on a warm SF afternoon/evening. They have a cute little nook that looks out to the sidewalk- great for people watching. They also have a little parklet outside where you can enjoy your beverages. On a perfect SF night, you will see patrons flowing out of this wine/beer bar and enjoying drinks out on the patio. Very European style. The inside is also nice with beautiful slab wood tables. The beers are 7-8 dollars and the wine is 10-15, which may be a little pricey but my wine loving friends say they are high-quality wines so probably worth it? We usually opt for the beers though due to price. We noticed they have Happy Hour 2-6 M-F with $5 beers and $7 wines so we'll definitely be back for that. I recommend this cute neighborhood wine/beer bar for an upscale/trendy happy hour. read more

Lovely wine bar on Divisadero! My friend and I stopped by on a Saturday night and Fool's Errand was bustling (but not too much so). We were able to snag seats in the balcony-esque area of the bar, and drinking our roses ($13 per glass) al fresco was quite the vibe. Keep in mind that they only serve wines and beers (no cocktails), and so the menu was slightly limited. read more

Guys, Fool's Errand is where it's at, we loved posting up here for a few hours on a Saturday afternoon. A totally unexpected find, we had planned our trip out and I had a lengthy (that's an understatement) list of bars and restaurants I had wanted to try and this place was not one of them. I did a quick search while walking in this neighborhood and it popped up on my feed so we decided to check it out and we are so glad that we did. The place is small and cozy, they had an area to sit outside and enjoy some drinks at a high top bar type thing, great people watching spot. Their bar was pretty small and then they had some high top seating throughout the place. I wasn't aware they had food until after we left, small plates, definitely a different food scene, cheese, charcuterie and "tins" of meat, but we didn't come for food, just for booze. They advertise themselves as a beer and wine bar and that's what they were in our minds. They had a great beer and wine selection and the owner happened to be in and was just wonderful. Super friendly, just a very cool dude who offered so many recommendations for us to try while we were exploring San Francisco for the first time, he even took it upon himself to grab a napkin and jot his suggestions down. There was another bartender there who was also a great time. They were the kind of people that treated you like regulars, even though it was your first time in their place. I loved that. We did some sparkling Rose and some beers, chatted about life, people watched and then left fully excited to tell people about this new spot and also eager to come back. This is a don't miss spot for sure. read more

This used to be a chill relaxed coffee shop, now it's a chill relaxed wine bar. I like that it's still the same, in attitude and decor. I love those repurposed wood tables. I love the little parklet outside, and there is also a small bar and more tables in the back. Nice wine and beer selection, decently priced. And some snack type items. Had a nice relaxed afternoon drinking rose outside. Nice neighborhood spot!!! read more
