Dropped in casually for a pre Valentine drink which became two. Fantastic and creative selections in a relaxed vibe. The staff were super sweet and welcoming. read more

Great menu variety here, and really beautiful interior. Seems like it would be the perfect date night spot, maybe not the right vibe for our rowdy birthday party but still super delicious wines. Would definitely come back! read more

Waystone - orange wine - Wine Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

**This review is for using the space as a private event only.** Had a wonderful working with Tom, Erin, and Matt on making sure my party was a success. The Waystone space looks deceptively small from the outside but once you enter, you realize there is so much room for people to walk around and chat. I had a party for about 50 people and the space definitely allowed for a lot of movement and mingling. The hanging lanterns and artwork made everything feel very cozy and at home. We ordered a lot of food and I could describe every single item we ordered and how amazing it tasted but then this review would be an essay. My top 3 choices for that night would be the fries (I love when fries are seasoned--a win!), the ribs (they fell off the bone), and Waystone salad (so refreshing). They were also very accommodating and reasonable about dietary restrictions. Price was reasonable especially for a party of this size. Everyone who attended the party loved the space and the food and really enjoyed themselves. Highly recommend Waystone if you're looking for a place to host your next party or event. read more

Completely adorable hidden gem- tried a lovely orange wine here that was super crisp/fruity/refreshing, and some small bites (loved the fries and house made aioli)! The staff was also very attentive/friendly. It's small inside but fits enough people to make it cozy. Perfect for a little happy hour! read more

This was our second time at this wine bar! We came in on a Saturday night. I really like this wine bar! It's so cute and vibey. I really like the lighting here as it set the atmosphere. The selection of wine was great too! We didn't get to try the food but maybe we will next time. I also love how attentive the staff are- I appreciate how the staff would check in on us every now and then to see if we needed anything. This will def be a go to wine bar spot for us. read more

One of the coziest wine bars I've been to. You know this is going to be a great place when everyone there seems to be a regular. The bartender was greeting people by their first name and giving great recommendations. My friend and I decided to share a bottle of white wine. As we were debating which bottle the bartender was super friendly in letting us taste both wines before committing. On Wednesdays, they also have a wine flight special where you can taste 6 wines for $40. The hummus was also fantastic with delicious bread. I will definitely be coming back for more! read more

Oh Wine Not! I happened to find this gem based on the recommendation of a friend who lives in the area. Fantastic selection of wine from all over the world, and amazing tasting experience provided by the staff. Don't forget to eat something, solid food options. Come on Wednesday for the full tasting experience read more

Waystone on Market was my go-to for work lunches and dinner before going to shows at the Golden Gate Theater. I usually got the ham or braised beef sandwich, with a glass of whatever Tommy recommended. Needless to say, when it closed I was devastated ... so when I noticed it opened just down the street from me, I was ecstatic! Tommy and Matt are incredibly knowledgeable about wine that I often don't order off the menu and let them educate me on some of the best bottles to sip on. The food here is a little different than the original Market menu, but it's still yum! I haven't tried all the new additions, but I don't doubt they're great. I usually go with popping some of the chicken bites while enjoying my wine(s) ;) If you're not in the mood for that loud sports bar vibe and instead want to opt for great wine poured by some of the sweetest people in SF (who have good taste in music!) do not snooze on Waystone read more

Probably the rudest service I have ever received in my life. My friend and I came to this bar on St Patrick's day and wanted to purchase a drink, along with use the restroom. We went to the restroom first where the waiter rudely told us we needed to purchase a drink and demanded we give him our credit card. Before we could tell him what we would like, he zoomed away with our card. We come out of the restroom and he had already charged our card $20 and gave us some unknown shots. As we began to ask what it was, he snagged them out of our hand and told us to fuck off. I highly do not recommend this bar. I am an extremely nice and reasonable person. I understand St pattys day can be busy and frustrating for workers but there is no excuse on this one. read more

Perfect place to start a date night. Awesome ambience and great (affordable) wine options.

Such a hidden gem! The place gets pretty busy on weekends and in the evening, but on a weekday we were able to spread out at the bar. The wines are always amazing and the staff is SUPER nice - they're very generous with samples and love to chat about what types of wine you like. I feel like I was able to learn more about what I was actually drinking which was really cool. Also I have to mention how cool the bathrooms are! Love this place! read more

The literal best neighborhood wine bar ever. The most amazing atmosphere, the perfect North Beach location, the fantastic service with the friendliest people, and the yummiest wine and food! I love their flights. And sitting by the window seat and people watching. read more

Obsessed with this new wine spot!!! Especially love it for the picnic tables out front. Could bring cards with a bottle outside. A large list of wines to choose from - we loved the Pinot noir rose (even orange ones). We got the humus plate & one of the salads with fried chicken. Delicious! Reminds me of a wine bar you'd find in the mission, going to be my new favorite spot. read more

My partner and I visited Waystone for the first time this weekend and had such a wonderful time outside on the parklet with our pup! Despite being outside, we were still able to enjoy the live jazz being played inside. We each had a wine flight and shared an order of ribs. We really appreciated the education that came with the flights, very practical and non-pretentious - this really made the experience stand out to us. And the ribs...fall off the bone fantastic! I loved whatever spices were used as well, so flavorful! And the acid from the pickled red onions was just perfect. Overall, we can't wait to come back and can't believe it has taken us this long to find out about Waystone! read more

A true gem in the heart of the iconic North Beach area of San Francisco. Billy and Erin are amazingly talented and have turned this little place into a wine bar/ aka heavenly oasis. The ceiling is cloud-like art form unto itself as are the seemingly floating lanterns overhead. When Erin is at the bar, you feel like you have been welcomed into a friend's home. Its cosy. Do enjoy the eclectic food offered to nibble on or create a full on meal. The grilled cheese sandwich with asparagus for example, is not like anything you have ever experienced! Deeelicious! This bustling place is crowded to over flow most nights that one of the owners are there but there is a covered parklet outside if you need more space. I Local artists have set up showings monthly. We enjoyed a very talented artist recently who did mainly very intricate black and white drawings, checkout their Instagram ifillspace.com This is definitely a find not to be missed. read more

I loved this wine bar. It's more of a neighborhood wine bar but I'd travel to come here again. The atmosphere is super cozy and there was a live jazz band (every Sunday and Monday). Wednesdays they hold a wine tasting flight of 6 tastings for $40. The space was small but so lively.Highly recommend the Riesling wine, with the sausage plate and spinach dip. Definitely will come back and hope I become a regular! read more

Superb food. One of the best ones (and better than many restaurants). The spicy yogurt sauce is to die for. Their chicken fry is like none I have had before. So yummy.

I went to Waystone for the first time last night and left very satisfied! Matt couldn't have been more hospitable and poured us delicious wine from California and France. The ambience is warm and cozy, perfect for a date or night out with your friends to indulge and be merry! You could go there with a large group too as there are large tables towards the back of the space. read more

The BEST new addition to the neighborhood!! Amazing and unique wine selection that doesn't cost a million dollars a glass, alongside a thoughtful and delicious food menu that pairs perfectly. Matt is a wine-guru that teaches you about wine in such an unpretentious and simple way (love his maps!!) that's beyond anything I've learned from any winery. Tom is so friendly and puts together a killer playlist. Definitely check out Wine Wednesdays for intriguing flights. Love, love, LOVE this place! read more

The food and wine was great. They were busy so service was hard, but they were super nice. Live the neighborhood feel of the new location.

Might be my new favorite place for wine in the hood! Tom and Matt were both so knowledgeable, kind, and genuinely enthusiastic about wine education. The food there is lovely as well. I hope these guys stand the test of time as they're my most favorite new addition to the area. read more

I popped into Waystone shortly after they opened for a first date and really enjoyed the vibe. The owners are really friendly and welcoming, and the selection of wine and beer is solid. The snacks we had were good but our Brussels were a bit soggy. Will definitely be back to try again now that they've been open for a while! read more

Waystone is incredible in every sense of the word. You can go have wine and food in many places throughout the city but you won't get the experience you have at Waystone. This is because the people who run Waystone care about the customer and make sure their experience is exceptional. On top on that the wine selection is superb and unique and the food is thoughtful and very flavorful. I've had many meals here and love it. These neighborhood spots are priceless and we need to support them. Get there soon and experience an excellent time. read more

Had a wonderful time! Great ambiance, lovely staff. It's a must visit! The shrimp salad was amazing.

Great addition to the neighborhood and quality food with a fun environment! Top notch service for the best overall experience.

This place is amazing! The wine selection is interesting, and even challenging if you want it. We also got the ploughman's board, which was a nice slight change from the usual charcuterie boards. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Can't wait to become regulars here! read more
