Came here for Valentines day, Brief hiccup with the entertainment but I am impressed with the vibes, quality of drinks and food. GM was messaging my husband throughout despite changes in schedule. We had sangria and a glass of wine. Food wise, we had charcuterie cheese and arancini. The cheese was excellent, soft and creamy, and even the pickled vegetables that came with it were crispy and yummy. Salami was also so good! Arancini had a great saffron flavor. Menu is a bit reduced, but perfect for a lounge. Sangria was smooth and punchy and my husband liked his wine. Very well staffed and every time we looked up there was someone asking if we needed something. Will bring my coworkers back for happy hour since we work in the area! I can't underscore enough how excellent the service is!
If your looking for a chill vibe with ambience this is your place on Friday nights .. the service was excellent , the drinks were well made , very tasty your asking for another before you even finish the first one the bites are on point everything I ordered I would order again , roasted cauliflower, crab cakes , and the goat cheese selection from the cheeseboard. The staff was great they made the experience everything it was and when on this side of town would go definitely hit up this place again.
Went here for a private event, and the staff were very friendly, the food was good, and the atmosphere was pretty nice and comfortable, even with a lot of people there. Can't speak about their drinks, since I don't drink, but other folks seemed to be enjoying them. Not much to complain about!
I've been going to and a fan of Press Club since they first opened in 2008! I've thrown birthdays here, celebrated friends' milestones, and now that I've moved back to the city, I've been coming every month for their live R&B events. SF is pretty casual - don't get me wrong, I love raging in jeans at an EDM fest and live in workout clothes, but I appreciate having a go-to place where I can get dressed up every now and then, sip on a glass of wine, and sing my heart out to live R&B from talented bands. The vibe is sexy, elegant and chic, and it feels like an elevated space where you can show up and be seen in the best way. I usually bring different girlfriends each time, but I have gone alone too and just end up meeting new folks who've become friends and regulars here too. I love wine and their wine is on the pricier side (a glass of Cab is around $25-$27 with tip). I haven't tried any of their dishes though. The staff is great - the manager even approached me and mentioned he's seen me at a few events, which made me feel really welcomed. If you're looking for more than just a glass of wine and want a full experience, I definitely recommend checking it out, especially on R&B nights.
Very cute spot to hangout or grab a drink. Although I haven't had the wine at this wine bar, I LOVE their BBC MARTINI! One of the best I've had. Will come here just for that. Limit is 2 per person. Upscale ambiance, friendly service and great drinks. They also have a happy hour! Will definitely be back, cheers!
Cute wine bar downtown Public parking lot across the street Friendly service Romantic ambiance Thanks!
Food was great, service is phenomenal, and ambiance is amazing. You have to go. The price is decent. $14 for the cheapest glass of wine.
One of my favorite wine bars in San Francisco is the Press Club the stylish underground wine bar. This is a great place to unwine and enjoy a good glass of wine in the evening . I came here for an European Affair to chat with the Bay Area Friends of Europe about the latest happenings in Europe and San Francisco. I had to represent my heritage for the motherland Spain ( but I'm a proud USA and San Franciscan by birth guy). Everybody represented here from France to the Ukraine. Lots of the chat was around the bitter and sometimes sweet European wine with a bit sampling of course. I am more of a Northern California wine person so I had to do compare and contrast testing myself. Of course my first go to red wine is Pinot Noir and it was from the Salad Bowl region of California called the " Gularte". On the Press Bar menu the red wine was described as "The passion and joy Hunter Pence brought to the SF Giants in 2012"(Yes, Yes, I know the feeling). Yes, it was a sip of joy. Had to school a few people about Reverend Pence and the 2012 Giants .After another glass of the Gularte, I then headed to get something from Southern France a red wine called Castelmaure Col des Vents and the Press Bar Menu called it " Pure Fun". It was fire in a glass. Then I had to have a toast tribute to the motherland Spain with a Madrid red wine called Zestos Old Vine Garnacha. The Press Bar menu described this as " creates a beat in your head. "So Fresh & So Clean, Clean, Clean" Had to get a refill. When you celebrate a traditional European Birthday don't you forget with all due respect The birthday boy or girl has to pay for all the drinks and pick up the bar check
I came here recently for a social gathering of about a dozen people. It's a beautiful, large venue with different seating areas (high tops) & lounge style seating with sofas. Our group organizer had prepared two bottles of wine for us (one red & one white) & I opted for the white after hearing the description (it was a slightly fruity white wine from Portugal). After socializing for a while, I was feeling peckish & ordered the pork belly adobo buns. They were sooo yummy. The pork was cooked perfectly, I think there were thin garlic chips added for texture & flavor & the bun was pillowy soft. Our server was pretty friendly & helpful. I would return if I was in the area.
Solid place to have a quiet meal and drinks after work. I visited last week with two colleagues who were in town for a conference. As the local, I was given the task of finding a place where we could decompress and have a quiet work conversation. I could not think of a better place than the Press Club. There was almost no one there when we arrived around 5:15 pm, and they seated us at a long table in the middle of the dining area, where we could spread out our notebooks and laptops. The server was very good - he carefully listened to our needs and suggested the right drinks and appetizers. I ended up choosing a Sangiovese (strong, chewy mouthfeel) and we shared the following apps: - roasted fingerling potatoes: these hit the spot, especially when dipped in the smoked paprika dip it was served with (this was so flavorful we asked for another helping) - chilled roasted broccoli Romanesque and cauliflower: served with delicious Chimichurri and crushed almonds - pork rillette: a nice meaty portion, slathered with sour cherry relish and with crostini on the side (we got extra) - buttermilk bathed popcorn chicken: this was another generous portion, and served with spicy N'Duja mayo Service and ambience were superb (it got a bit noisier as the evening wore on) and they were kind enough to charge my colleagues laptop. Will be back.
One of my visits to Press Club was on a Friday or Saturday evening, and the attire was definitely more cocktail attire. Another time, I went during the day before a Giants' game. I was more dressed up, but saw others wearing shorts and jeans, so I think you could go a little more casual during the day. The ambiance is dark and romantic. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable about the wine. The wine and charcuterie boards are both delicious, and served quickly. There was no pressure to leave. The low seating is cozy, my only complaint is the oval tables don't fit all of the yummy things we ordered!
We visited press club again last night and it really is my favorite bar, full stop. The hospitality here is like nothing else - Mo and the gang are the best bar staff I've ever known and I'm grateful they're here, grateful this wine list is so outstanding, and grateful for the moments spent with friends here over the years so far and to come. Most of the best bottles I've ever enjoyed have been here - there is such an array of unique and uncommon producers and grapes, something for everyone is on this list. The vibe is so spacious, comfortable, and high-end, but the bottles run the full gamut on price and can be quite affordable. We toasted the opportunity to be here together at this moment in time and what a gift that is. Ps: order the tinned salmon! It's so good!
Cute lounge style wine bar. Charcuterie and cheese plates were good but a little pricey. Great selection of wine though. All in all it was cute but just a little expensive

Great place to have a drink and chat. They make great cocktails and have a nice selection of wines. I wish that ambiance was a bit more cozy and that the music would match the vibe, but everything else felt great! read more

Always a treat to attend parties or just grabbing drinks with friends at Press Club. Located in the entertainment area of downtown SF. It's walking distance to everything you need. The inside is large but cozy with great vibes. The staff were very helpful. I needed a glass for my wine and utensils so they went all the way downstairs for it, leaving their station. Food is good too. Great display for the eyes. Generous portions for a large group. Their drink selections are vass. read more

Had a fun time here! It's a cool wine bar in Yerba Buena with a cool downstairs lounge. I came here with my friend for their 14th annual Harvest Festival and it was so fun to enjoy tastings from wineries from all over CA! They also had a live DJ that understood the vibe. It's such a chill spot; I can't wait to come back here. I also enjoyed the food that had: charcuterie board, Thai chicken lettuce wraps, and mini burgers. They paired well with the different wines I had. I'm amazed at this large selection. Highly recommend. read more

Yup. This is the one and two. Made a reservation and was immediately sat after checking in. We even got to choose where we wanted to sit, so obviously we picked a nice corner away from everyone. Sooo many options! I'm huge on pinot noir and was overwhelmed because most places have shi**y options. But the Bouchard was good to the last drop. After well needed catch up with a good friend the bottle was gone and the charcuterie was devoured. The charcuterie, well I'm not really big on cured meats but the pate and mustard was right up my alley. I'm pretty sure I ate all the crostinis. What can I say, I'm still growing (sideways). Staff: friendly and most importantly that they don't hover over you. Ambiance: seeeexxxyyyy tiiiime. It was perfect, I highly recommend this as a first date or any date. Will I be coming back? Absolutely! read more
Press Club features a beautiful lounge space with excellent service! My group of girls shared a bottle of wine along with their charcuterie and a few other bites. The waiter answered all of our questions about the menu and helped us pair some cheeses and meats for the charcuterie. Super friendly service and delicious snack foods. It was an excellent experience to lounge here with some wine and catch up with the girls! read more
Drinks: 4/5 Service: 3.5/5 Lovely and classy wine bar in downtown SF. Came after dinner on a Saturday night and were able to be seated at the couches. Wide menu selection and friendly staff. We ordered a bottle of Billecart Salmon - fine and smooth on the palate with subtle sweetness The service was slightly lacking when our server didn't check in on us and didn't refill our glasses or water. One of the servers did give us a drink to try at the end as he was practicing with making cocktails - very nice of him. read more

Gents, this is the spot if you really want to woo your date. Har-Har- mate. Morph into Christian Grey and request the Dj to play "earned it" as you and your date walk down into the dim lit loft.. the hint of mahogany.. leather.. and.. ahem. This place is upscale, aesthetics much appreciated. For starters, I would recommend a taking her on a European flight, of reds and whites. Pros: Dj, Attentive and Knowledgeable Staff, clean and great ambiance Cons: none. read more

First time I came here was for a networking event and I thought the event sucked but the wine bar is excellent! Their service is great, you can taste the wine before committing, and their selection is pretty decent with an emphasis on local wines. This makes it a great tourist spot as it's conveniently located between Powell and Monterey BART stations near market street. My only comment would be that I was under the impression they had a happy hour menu, but I don't think I saw it when I was there on a Thursday after work. read more

Hello Jessica,…
Really nice ambiance and a great place to bring a date! Please note, they only serve beer & wine here and appetizer dishes, NO hard liquor for y'all trying to get turnt up! Trust me I'm no wine snob nor expert! But sadly, a few times I've known more things than our servers. I would give this place 5 Stars but some of their uniformed servers are holding them back. Other than that, I love this place and any time my gf and I are in the area, we try to stop by. read more
This was my second visit. We walked in when they were transitioning from a large event. The first 15 minutes was rough. No menus, no service, no acknowledgement. But then it got better. Knowledgeable staff, yummy charcuterie and the cheese paired with the beer jelly was amazing. Interesting wines to explore and lots of beer choices. Their version of pate in a jar with a layer of duck fat on top is a surprising but yummy add. The vibe and ambience of this place is cozy and warm but at the same time intimidating. Great date spot. read more

First time I cam was for NYE and I wasn't impressed at all. $40 per ticket and there was no where to sit, didn't offer the flights and the music was stale. It was hardly anyone in there and they had the couches blocked off so you had to pay to sit. They didn't decorate for the festivities at all. I left before midnight to spend it in my hotel because id rather bring in the New Years somewhere I was excited to be. Gave them a second chance last week and it was a bit more pleasant as I was able to have a seat and enjoy my wine and converse a bit before my dinner reservations. This time the entire bar had chairs and the couches was open for seating. Our server I cant remember her name but was sweet. Will come back more often. read more
