17 Best Wine Bars in Oakland

“I love this restaurant. The pan con tomate is one of the best things I've ever eaten. A lot of people complain about the price, but you're getting extremely high-end food that would cost even more at a stuffy restaurant. Everything is high quality and meticulously put together. Also, it's a wine bar. If you want large portions and want to be a glutton then go to Applebees...“

“My daughter took me and the hubby here for our Thanksgiving celebration since she couldn't come home (Sac) for actual Thanksgiving, we went to her. This was a night I won't soon forget! Having a nice meal with our daughter was a treat, the service was amazing and the food....OMG! Every bite of every dish I tasted was so so delicious! I can't get the butternut soup out of my head it was THAT good! We all ordered different food & shared bites with one another. This night was so enjoyable! Thank you, Sis & Thank you Mama Oakland!“

“Okay I'm obsessed with the concept of Daytrip! Every dish has something fermented in it. The platings were beautiful and everyone was unique and delicious. The menu changes every so often so check their Instagram for an update! If they have the Miso Pasta when you go you have to get it it's exceptional. Server was really nice although she could have filled up water more. Ambiance was really cute and hippie vibes. The only reason this place doesn't get 5 stars is because the bathroom was DISGUSTING. Like truly one of the most disgusting restaurant bathrooms I have ever seen. I will spare you the details... Do not go to bathroom if you come here lol. I would guess it hasn't been cleaned in over a week. We were also some of the first people there for the day which is even more concerning!!!“

“Excellent pasta! Freshly made! Great ingredients! The espresso and ice cream was amazing“

“Wow - what a hip cool spot to chill with great coffee/other drinks! Exactly the kind of coffee shop I’ve always dreamt of opening myself ;)They have fast free Wi-Fi, lots of comfy seating & nice airy space. It was about 230PM Sunday afternoon and we grabbed the last two seats!Barely 5 minutes walk from 19th St BART station & there’s even a Shake Shack across the street & other good eats nearby. Def stop by when you’re in Uptown Oakland!“

“A favorite each time I’m in town❤️❤️❤️ lunch today-meat platter was excellent and didn’t disappoint! The service was awesome and the day was perfect for an outdoor dining experience! Still enjoying my leftovers!“

“Literally my FAVORITE place in the world! I have been dining here for over a decade and today was the first time I ever experienced brunch! It. was. DELICIOUS. Everyone is so friendly, there was even live music. Such a special place with so much intention in everything.“

“Exceptional multiroaster with a great rotating selection and highly skilled baristas.“

“We shared the broccolini and a vegetarian pasta, both were delicious. Amazing strawberry rhubarb cake for dessert. We also ordered the beet appetizer- we asked for one and the server recommended we get two because they were skewers. When they came we understood why... they were so tiny, about one big bite of food each. Definitely not worth $10 for 2! Overall a great meal but I'd avoid the tiny skewers next time.“

“Best bartenders, awesome owners, killer sound and all around good times always!“

“Natural wine and snacks in uptown Oakland. They have a good wine selection and sell bottles to go, even my favorite Tessier from Berkeley! There's a miso sample plate from Shared Cultures and other little salty snacks and food with good bread. The service is great, they know the wines and give good recommendations. It's a nice place to have a wine or cider and chill.“

“I really dig Prima Materia wines -- particularly the cab and Grenache. I also like buying the variety pack cases, which brings the cost per bottle down to about $22. And it's fun to learn about varietals with which I'm unfamiliar, like agalianico.“

“I really enjoyed this wine bar! The wine options were great and I found out all they only carry natural wine so that was a plus! I actually just went back again today and bought a whole case and it was so reasonable. Will definitely be coming back when I need more wine!“

“GREAT PLACE FOR HAPPY HOUR!!!! If you are looking for a happy hour spot, this is your destination! They have affordable bites: wings, oysters, fries, deviled eggs, Brussels sprouts, and they have reasonably priced wine and spirits! This will always be my recommendation for happy hour in the bay. The fries were good, and they give you a large/shareable portion. The wings were tiny and almost looked like chicken nuggets, but my friend ordered though and I didn't try them. The deviled eggs are topped with a pickled radish. I didn't try that either, but it looked good. The drinks were good and staff was friendly. Love it here! Great location, but you have to find street parking or park in the lot across the street. I took Lyft.“

“First time here and what a delight!! I stopped in for breakfast and coffee and was greeted with kind and helpful staff. Got a toasted bagel plate with a soft boiled egg and a latte - both delicious. Atmosphere is lovely, helpful staff. Highly recommend.“

“Beautiful space. Alicia and her team are lovely hosts as well. I’ll be back again soon!“

“We've been dining at Bellanico for years. For all that time, it's consistently been good. The food and wine selection are wonderful. The restaurant is up to the minute in its menu, but evokes those vanishing, lamented neighborhood places we used to enjoy.“
