Discover Polk Merchant Board Meerting after party at Robber Baron. Thank you Luc for such amazing drinks and great cheese plates. Had lots of surprise events coming. Soon on Polk street. Special guest Supervisor Danny Saueter is here to support Discover Polk CBD. I love the fun setup of your decor. A must try place! read more

Came here for the Muni Bingo. They had a Muni 19 special cocktail (+ there's a full name that I am forgetting) - named after the Muni 19 bus line that runs close by - that is a GREAT deal and also tastes amazing!! They use fresh juice from the neighboring store, Muse. No wonder my grapefruit aperol spritz tasted so fresh. It's such a cozy spot and has very friendly service. I loved that the owner went all out and created a special stamp just for this Muni challenge. That's going above and beyond! FYI: at first for me, it looked a bit difficult to approach but once you're there it's a very casual vibe. I discovered a gem! read more

Met up with some friends at Robber Baron for their tarot card night after walking by all the time and never stopping in!

Great cocktails and wine selection - was really happy with the overall vibes of the spot. Great for girls night or date night! read more

This wine bar is delightful! I came here for their weekly trivia night (Tuesday at 7:30pm) and was charmed by the cozy space, fun framed images, and colorful lights. Although it's a wine bar, there are plenty of cocktails you can choose from as well. I ordered the Mother of Dragons and it was a bit more tart than I expected but still delicious. Beyond the drinks, the bartenders are super friendly and down-to-earth. I'm excited to go back! Drinks: 9/10 Service: 10/10 Ambience: 10/10 read more

RobberBaron - Mother of Dragons (elderflower, lemon, brut Cava) - Wine Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

this is the perfect place on Polk if you want to have a girls night! It has the vibes, cute lights, and creative cocktails (with super funny names). Their cocktail menu changes frequently, so each visit is new and exciting. My drink was an espresso martini with a hint of aperol, and it tasted like nothing I've had before, but also really familiar at the same time read more

RobberBaron - Wine Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

Great neighborhood bars, fun drinks....i loved the 'Jennifer is Dating a Weird Guy' drink - highly recommend. Friendly and welcoming staff, clean bathroom, will be back! read more

What a charming neighborhood wine bar. Went solo, met the owner who was awesome. Also had a great conversation with a few of the locals. I felt like I was on a friend's patio sipping great wine. Very comforting and fun! read more

Incredibly friendly staff, unique drinks, and ample places to sit and catch up with friends. The website even lives up to their fun-loving and creative spark, boasting "enjoy a glass of some of the pimpiest wines and beers." It's true, so go give it a try if you haven't. read more

While visiting a friend in the area, we decided to check out a couple local bars. RobberBaron popped up on the list and looked interesting, so we dropped in for a drink. The first thing we noticed was one of their drinks called "jennifer is dating a weird guy." This was hilarious to us, because my friend's name is "Jennifer." She took a picture of the menu and sent it to her fiance. He actually thought she might have photoshopped it, but he wasn't offended anyway because he considers himself her "ex" boyfriend as they're engaged. Lol. Regardless, she ended up getting a glass of wine. I tried the "better than aperol spritz." It was good, but not necessarily better than an aperol spritz, in my opinion. The music that was being played didn't match the bar or its patrons, so that threw us off a bit. There was also a big dog in the bar; I think it was a doodle (I can't remember). He was super cute and running around all over the place. Another girl came in with a dog, so it seems very open to pet owners. We ended up taking off in a hurry, because this lady by the window kept coughing and sneezing and we were paranoid. read more

I've walked by here so many times and everyone I know loves it but I finally stopped by and totally get it! Its a great little spot that is super dog friendly and has a great selection of wines and some unique cocktails as well. The staff were also really nice and helpful if you had any questions! I can't wait to go back! read more

Absolutely love this bar. It's the perfect spot for a date, or to just grab a drink and relax. Great wine/beer and drinks, music (sometimes live music!), and various seating options (lounge/table/bar/patio). Most important of all; the people! The staff are amazing and a cornerstone of the neighborhood, so the patrons are almost always partially regulars and repeat guests. Whether you live in the area and want to build a community, or if you're passing through and want some local vibes, this place is perfect! Some nights are busier than others, but great times are always found here. read more

RobberBaron is great! This neighborhood spot has the nicest owners who make this place so special. They have a great wine list with lots of variety. I highly recommend asking for a recommendation. The bottle of white wine we chose was exactly what we were looking for. The spot is cozy and feels perfect for a drink after a long week. Definitely stop by here when you're on Polk! read more

Friday night, sign said "literally 1 hot guy come in for 1 free drink. I looked no guys, so I walked in and the bartenderess rudely told me that they already had 1 hot guy. So I left. I will never come back here again and I will never recommend this place to anybody. read more

stumbled upon this gem walking around polk and it was fate. they were playing chapell roan upon our entrance and the music only got better! the owners are so fun and kind. i will be back read more

Best bar in SF. This place is why we love living in San Francisco. Welcoming, hilarious and oh so kind owner, delicious and creative cocktails, fun bartenders and the vibe is on point. A special place and a true neighborhood gem. read more

My local San Francisco friend recommended this local spot to grab a cocktail. Cool little beer and wine bar. Nice ambiance for a chill date night or drinks with friends. The best part was the added touch of the slanted leg support underneath the bar. Wow! They thought of everything! The staff members were helpful with selecting cocktails and really friendly. read more

RobberBaron - I heard Brady is doing car commercials - Wine Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

Loved this place!! A quaint and delightful bar that serves only wine and beer. They have some great wines for a reasonable price (we got a bottle of Chianti for 52$). The wine was absolutely wonderful. Shared two bottles over the course of the evening along with their fantastic charcuterie plate. Along with the cheese and meat the plate had two types of crackers, bread, olives, nuts, mustard, and apples. Yum! The bartender was super nice and made some good recommendations for the night. Tip - you get 25% off your first wine glass when you check in :) read more

RobberBaron - Charcuterie with two meats and a cheese - Wine Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

Beers are good. Volume level is reasonable. I liked roberbarron on my Friday night visit because the crowd mix was fun, diverse, and minimally obnoxious. That may sound like a backhanded compliment - but its not. Because if there's zero obnoxiousness the venue quickly becomes boring, if there's too much - the venue is annoying. I think there's a fine line where it makes things fun but not annoying. this was the case on on the night of my visit. read more

Super cute, intimate wine bar with really friendly service. When I came by on a Friday evening, there was a live band playing outside and the vibes were excellent. Definitely a good place to stop by on Polk Street! read more

Love this place!!!! My favorite wine bar in the city, plus they do a great comedy show :)

My sister and I loved this place! We came in for some pre-dinner drinks and found out they have free (yes FREE) cheese and charcuterie on Wednesdays. The drink menu also has some hilarious names for their champagne based cocktails, causing my boyfriend back at home to beg me to try "the volleyball scene from top gun" and my sister ordering the "fresh prince of bel-air". I would love to come back here if I lived in SF, it a actually hurts a little bit that this bar exists and I can't go to it every day read more

If you like good vibes come here. Great wine, cocktails etc. wish I was hungry enough to try the sandos cause I'd probably like those too

I was here for 30 min at 6pm on a Friday. They put out a spread of free (and delicious) snacks. Then a woman walked in off the street with a bouquet of flowers for the bartender who has once given her a bottle of wine. The bartender didn't remember doing it. Great neighborhood spot. read more

The best wine bar in SF. Great unpretentious spot on Polk Street that is a total neighborhood gem. Solid wine and beer list, delicious bar bites, good tunes, a cozy bar and a nice parklet if you prefer outside. They also have the swankiest toilet in all of San Francisco. Support small local business and go see Luc and Matt. They'll take good care of you and make you feel at home! Also dog friendly if your dog isn't a jerk read more

RB is the bomb, "Luke" the owner is theeee coolest person you'll ever meet in SF and her new wine bar is popping! Live music, DJ's and other events all the time. Just check hours before you head over :) read more

RobberBaron - Post dinner wine - Wine Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

Robberbaron is proof that Polk St. has some class. This is not your usual pick up scene/raging heffers/overrun with B&T crowd/etc. etc. It is a NICE neighborhood bar where you can have a fun, decent, adult conversation with your girlfriend or take your date to before having dinner at Lord Stanley across the street. There are a lot of interesting wine choices on their menu that are fairly priced, but my gf and I both got the Mother of Dragons champagne cocktail: rose, elderflower with a lemon twist. It's so easy to down this thing, you'll need to have at least two! I really loved that they named this after Daenerys of Game of Thrones (the series of which I am so hooked onto right now!) If you think this place is too quiet for you, take your loud annoying self to Rouge on the corner. Robberbaron likes to #keepitklassy. read more

RobberBaron - Mother of Dragons cocktail: elderflower and rose with a lemon twist - Wine Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

This is a classy establishment located along the fratastic street that is Polk. I'm not a huge fan of bars along Polk because they get overly crowded and full of young clad spring chickens. Maybe I'm just an old fart who likes some peaceful atmosphere at the end of my days. Stumbled on robberbaron because it had seats left and the crowd seemed calm. It's totally a gem along Polk! They have a good selection of red (I'm so old I know) and really nice bartenders. I'm definitely paying them a visit again when I feel the urge to booze! read more

Some of the reviews on here I am seriously rolling my eyes at. "4 stars because they only have beer and wine". Hey, why don't you go take it up with the SF ABC and see if you can get them a full liquor licence? That's not a reason to take away a star. "The cheese and crackers ($5 is a red flag) is like the old Handi Snack". It LITERALLY says that's what it's supposed to be on the menu. You are complaining that it's TOO cheap? What the hell? $5 is awesome. I am starving after work but before dinner and not made of money. ANYWAY. Robberbaron is one of the best institutions in Russian Hill. Excellent selections of wine. I love their champagne cocktails with hilarious names like "the volleyball scene from top gun". Their owner is involved with the community, has a funny Instagram and always fun to chat with. Plus, FREE pizza and cheese/charcuterie/snacks on certain nights. read more

Love this place. The music is always on point and the service is first class. The owner is super friendly and they make everyone feel welcome and right at home. One of our favorite neighborhood spots for a great beer or glass of wine. read more

we were hopping around polk street for a friends birthday, and stumbled across robberbaron. the interior is super cute which is what caught our eye- and they seemed to have enough room to accommodate our large group. upon arrival, we were greeted with big smiles from matt, and luc (the owner) quickly joined him. they made our cocktails VERY quickly. we all really enjoyed trying each others- they were all DELICIOUS- and have the most hilarious names. they also have an incredible beer and wine list. after closing our tabs, luc came out with a bottle of bubbly on the house for our birthday girl. we were all beyond impressed, thankful- and overall blown away. the overall kindness, hospitality, and great conversations with matt and luc truly helped make it a perfect night. we have already started chatting with them about future birthdays and events. amazing music, vibes, drinks employees- truly can't ask for more. we can't wait to come back soon!!!! read more

The only reason this place doesn't have five stars is because the $5 (first red flag) cheese and crackers plate is no joke that cheese and cracker (see image) snack you'd get as kids. The cheese even tastes and looks the exact same. You even get a silver spread knife that's supposed to be the red stick. Otherwise great wine selection, ambiance and friendly staff. read more

Overall I was very happy with my experience here. The staff was extremely friendly, and the atmosphere is great for a laid back night or date. I came here with a couple friends on a Friday and there was still space for us to sit, chat, and split a bottle of wine. For SF this price point is decent, not a steal, but not bad either. There are several wine bars on polk to choose from, but this should be at the top of the list. read more

RobberBaron - Ross the bartender. - Wine Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

This is a cute wine and beer bar in Nob Hill. Again, just an FYI: they only serve *wine and beer.* My friends and I recently stopped in not knowing this (cocktails were on our minds), but luckily, we're a flexible bunch. We went in on a Tuesday night. It was relatively quiet sans four other patrons (two of them appearing to be on a date), but it was a Tuesday after all. To me, the general vibe I was: relaxed neighborhood bar. The bartender seemed to have a good rapport with the customers. He was pretty friendly and explained the intriguing art on the walls (which were for sale). If I can correctly recall, each painting was akin to a modern "still life." I had a nice, crisp Chablis. One of my friends had a glass of Cabernet, while my other friend had a local beer. All of us enjoyed our beverages, the ambiance, and also, the ease (and almost-luxury) of a bar not consumed with a ton of noise, crowds, and had ample seating. I'd definitely swing by again if I'm in the neighborhood. read more

Love robberbaron!! It's my go to spot on Polk street. We moved to this neighborhood a couple years ago from SOMA and feel grateful to have found luc and robberbarron!Unpretentious, fun bar with a great selection of wines and beers!! No matter how you are feeling, you ll always feel better once you go RB! They bring live bands, DJs occasionally. Go check em out, you won't regret it!! read more

Where to start. These assholes won't let my dog run about. It's almost as if they are an establishment. I guess while I'm coralling my dog they provide amazing service and an outstanding experience. 10/10 will recommend. No really these people are the best and you want them in your neighborhood read more

This place keeps getting better and the service is wonderful. Thank you Robberbaron for the great food and wine!! Monday's they are so generous to offer complimentary fresh cheese pizza. Wednesday's they offer this buffet of beautiful food that is also complimentary, a bit elaborate and way too kind of them. Probably the best cheese plate in San Francisco next to Gary Danko's. They really need to raise their prices, they keep it real and we love you guys! read more
