    Cute wine bar off of Polk and California! Small cozy space, perfect for dates or grabbing a drink with friends!

    Natural wine and white wine

    Walked in and was met with a charming wine bar on Polk street that still has an aesthetic feel. Enjoyed the fun light fixtures and hanging neon banana a lot for the funky vibes. Tried a white wine and a natural wine here. The day was winding down so service was a bit slower, but totally makes sense because it was late and everyone was definitely starting to wrap up. Enjoyed my experience! Will definitely be back and hopefully get to try some bites as the kitchen was closed when I visited.

    Ora is not your typical wine bar. It is the most friendly wine place. Own by a fun and creative woman. If you are in the area don't miss this place to have a chat with locals!

    Galipette Cider ($8)

    Ora is a new addition to Polk and unlike any other wine bar I have ever been to, speakeasy meets chic. The ambiance is laidback offering indoor bar and table seating as well as outdoor, high table seating. Proof of vaccination is checked upon arrival. The menu is expansive consisting of reds, whites, bubbly's, ciders, beers and bites. I am a huge cider enthusiast, and got the galipette; it was delicious. Service was on the slow end, which is totally understandable as there was only one employee, but they were so kind and helpful. Overall, a great experience and my new go-to wine bar in the area.

    Wanted to check out this spot since it opened fairly recently. The sign says they open at 5pm though it was disappointing when I arrived around 5:15pm and they were closed. Came back around 7pm and they were open. The space is dimly lit and decorated colorful neon lights. They have board games available, seems like it would be a fun spot to hang out with friends. Seems like the other customers know each other pretty well. Looked like there was only one staff member working so took a little while to get our order. Drink recommendations were great, would want to come try the other things on the menu.

    This is the best wine bar! Sabrina is so cool. Good drinks with good vibes.

    Come here if you want a good time. Their wine selection is the best. Stay home otherwise.

    A few friends and I were looking for a a chill place for a few nice glasses of wine and stumbled upon Ora. The place is lovely and the ice wine delicious. The staff is super friendly too. We'll definitely be back

    I had an amazing time at Ora. The crew is fantastic and will make sure you have the time of your life ! The selection of wine and beer is unique combined with an atmosphere that will make you feel welcome and have fun with folks with many different backgrounds, interests. it's all around the best bar I've been in SF. Congrats to Ora team to bring so much love and good vibes to SF, at at time when we all most need it.

Located in the legendary Mission District of San Francisco, this wine bar is a great spot to catch up with friends and enjoy small bites and yummy crafted cocktails. Their decor is very chic and I especially loved all of the hardware, glasses, tables, and benches. This place was styled by a great design artist. Even though the place was pretty packed and can be kind of noisy, I still felt very calm amongst all the healthy plants and loved the sophisticated 70s inspired glassware. Another great feature of this place is that you can buy most of the plants because they have some for sale so after a couple of cocktails, I was ready to redecorate my whole house with all the plants. I ordered a yummy Rose blend that was super crisp. Also enjoyed the Truffle Fungi! A delicious Shiitake and oyster mushrooms with parmesan and arugula on toasted bread. Their Spanish inspired potatoes were delicious with their dipping sauce. They have lots of gatherings there and DJ sets on the weekends. Lastly, a photographer would die to take pictures here. There is no bad shot as the design artist made sure every section of this cute wine bar was picture perfect. Loved all my photos and videos. I look forward to returning to this exquisite wine bar!

I love the decor of this space! It is definitely intentionally and tastefully decorated. Loved the lighting and plants. They had Lord of the Rings playing on the wall. The vibe is artsy, warm, a little dark, and overall a cool place to mingle. The bathrooms and tables were kept clean. I liked it that the DJ was live mixing. Getting a drink was fast and easy. The high top tables were a bit wobbly, so we spilled half a drink on there. The drinks are strong. I recommend going upstairs to sit instead if you want to hear your friends better. The tables are bigger up there too. The rooftop was closed off but I'd like to check it out sometime.

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.

We were able to snag a seat at the bar after waiting a few minutes. Drinks: A nice selection of wines, vermouth cocktails and some beer and non alcoholic options availible. We ordered chilled bottles of sparkling red wine which was served in a bucket with ice which was a nice touch to keep it cool. Food: Tinned monkfish liver - nice and creamy, rich with mild flavor served with bread, crackers, potato chips and pickled peppers Tinned stuffed squid - very tasty, squid were cut into smaller pieces making it easy to pass around also served with the same bread, crackers, and potato chips Tortilla - a nice piece of egg and potato tortilla served warm on a slice of ciabatta, this was well seasoned and a generous portion size, was surprised it was served like an open faced sandwich made it a little bit difficult to cut up and share but tasty regardless Jamon con brie - similar to the tortilla served in a warm open faced sandwich, ham and brie were nice, a little greasy and salty Service was fine, walk up to the bar and place your order, they'll provide you with a number for food delivery to your seat. Water we grabbed a filled our glasses as needed. Plates were cleared relatively quickly when we were finished. Overall enjoyed El Chato, there happened to be some live music that evening which was fun but made for a pretty loud space. Food was solid nothing outstanding but a nice array of tin fish and tapas, liked the wine and vermouth options. A fun spot for girls night expect a crowd if you go earlier in the evening.
