This place is the closest vibe (culturally, not literally) to a pub I've found in this neighborhood. And their Friday night DJ kicks ass.
Chris H.February 18, 2017
Only wine, beer, and non-hard alcohol cocktails (wine tails) by night, but a great bar stop nevertheless. Comfy ambiance and a seemingly local crowd.

Stacks of books will get you in the "studying" mood at this cafe by day/lounge by night. "Study snacks" like potato skins, housemade chicken salad, and milk & cookies are available starting at noon. Read more

Taco Tuesday is an amazing deal! A beer and 3 tacos for $10.

Awesome bar to spend the whole day. Start off in the morning with coffee and breakfast food. End you visit with beer or wine in the evening.
Tiffany TaylorNovember 19, 2013
Love the music playing in background here. The place has a chill vibe and the Sanfrangria is quite tasty. I need to come back for the Taco Tuesday special!

Good chill bar for happy hour. The spicy coke wasn't good but the sangria and mango agavarita was pretty tasty! Can't wait to come back!

Love this cozy little bar, great cocktails! Often crowded after dinner time
Charlie ChaoAugust 1, 2016
Good music and atmosphere for casual hangout. The wall-mounted chairs are a bit too high and uncomfortable, so be sure to grab a spot at a regular table.

Cool music & good selection of wines and beer. They serve some small snacks and salads as well. Salad was simple but tasty

It got popular recently. Packed on weekend nights now. It's still a great place to chill on week nights, though

Cute, mellow hideaway. Truly Excellent Music! Plus they have DJs some night.

Love this place but the red wine is just no good. Tried again and again. Stick to white(?) or beer.
Pavan KulkarniFebruary 5, 2017
Amazing cozy ambience . Perfect if you are working remote. They have decent list of beers and wine and some bar food.
Priya SaiprasadJuly 21, 2013
Trendy and hip neighborhood lounge/study cafe filled with modern decor and a cool vibe. I highly recommend the sangria and latte.
BommyAugust 1, 2014
Really chill spot to get work done or hang out with friends. There's also a bunch of games available to play.

Great staff, fun “winetails” but also a good selection of wine and beer. A great go-to casual spot.
WhiskeyAvengerJune 13, 2018
A great place to work outside of the office. They make great coffee drinks. After you’re done with work,you can switch to wine or beer.
Amy BJuly 21, 2015
Great music! Excellent drinks & foods. Wall seats a bit awkward but you can push them away & stand.
Stephen HerbertFebruary 20, 2013
This place is swanky, secretive, and amazing. Come for the beer, stay for the board games, leave planning your next visit.
Merih OcbazghiApril 14, 2017
Great spot to spend a few hours reading/working. Really love the soundtrack and relaxed atmosphere

Sunday nights: $7 for pulled pork sliders and a beer. Find a better deal anywhere in the city and report back.

Cozy af with four barrel and wifi by day and wine and a DJ by night. I love this place.
Crystal WilliamsJuly 14, 2012
Four Barrel in the morning, wine bar at night. Chill space to meet up, co-work, or play the piles of board games on hand.
Ashley YueSeptember 5, 2014
Great place for casual dates. I love the decor and projector screen on the brick wall!

The pulled pork sliders are the absolute tops. Small draught selection, but well-curated.
Timmy HowardOctober 26, 2012
The only place I'll leave my house to go work and also the only place I'll take my headphones out and just listen to the in-house tunes. Groooooovy!
NanaApril 18, 2016
Real chill environment. They have board games and books to keep you occupied
Megan SkyeApril 7, 2014
Japanese inspired study bar. Coffee and tea alongside tasty looking beer, wine, and sake.

Great place to work with a glass of wine or a non-liquor cocktail
DJ CapobiancoSeptember 7, 2019
One of my favorite bars to go to if I'm flying solo. Bring a book.

Best Chai in SF. My go-to *work from home* coffee bar / place to meet friends for a drink before going out.
Annette LeachJuly 28, 2014
Really nice vibe, perfect date spot judging by the couples in here
Mansi ShahMarch 3, 2016
Wine tails , no hard alcohol here. Great to work at but not too many outlets

Follow on Facebook to catch their daily deals and specials. Also: Racer 5 makes any day better.

Stay away from the nasty Spicy Cola cocktail (or whatever it's pretending to be)... Aside from this anomaly, everything else is delightful!
Anoop RanganathDecember 20, 2012
The soundtrack here is absurdly good. Super chill vibe.
Ali Uro-MayMarch 2, 2018
