Like a Russian doll, it’s a pop up store within a pop up store ; therefore the vibe of this place is one of a fly-by-night establishment; one of the stores might truly pop up and move on; The brooding owner says he is a poet before he ignores you and your order to play something odd on the stereo ; this establishment’s claim to fame is their serving only of organic wines; apparently this staves of hangovers; I want to like this place and will give it a few more shots.

Can speak for myself and my neighbors when we say we love Joshua's coffee pop-up. Really great coffee and even better conversation! We hope it stays long term. And love the wine bar, too. It's a great go-to for first dates or hanging with neighbors.

A cute little bar with a wide selection of wines by the glass

Best wine bar in the city! Cozy, intimate, great wine selection + delish bar bites. So happy this place exists.

Small but hip wine bar. Plenty choices of wines. It can be too windy to sit outdoors without a heat lamps at times.

Do NOT waste your time or your money at the Bacchus Wine Bar. In more than 20 years of traveling throughout the world -- in numerous countries -- my two friends and I have never been treated as poorly as we were here. We stopped in to sample some wine on a Friday evening. The owner apparently didn't like that my friends' first language is Spanish, but he also wasn't intelligent enough to realize that we are also fluent in English. We were essentially treated like field workers who had somehow gotten lost in a posh area of San Francisco! Imagine that. If you are a native Spanish speaker, you will not be welcome at this bar; you will be profiled and treated like a pauper. Do yourself a favor and boycott the Bacchus Wine Bar. The owner has no respect for his guests -- and you will also pay about $16 for each glass of mediocre wine that you order. Thank you for reading this review. When in San Francisco, don't bother with the Bacchus Wine Bar. It's terrible!

I love this place. We sat at the bar, introduced to new wines with great pairings, had great conversations, and was extremely comfortable. I even bought a bottle because the label was so close to my name... lol so immature but epic! What more can you ask for? Oh, the pricing is absolutely perfect. I look forward to going back and I wish they had a membership option because I'd get the premium package. I loved the overall experience. Touchdown

Stellar, curated wine menu in a quaint neighborhood spot. Seating has expanded now with tables outside. A must for us each time in SF.

Visited twice and twice I found the service to be unattentive and a little rude. They have a good selection of wines by the glass. They have a little outdoor seating area which has a lot of scope for improvement but benefits from the charme of Hyde street.
Fun place! Went out with an old friend (who apparently uses this place as his go to first date location) and while crowded was enjoyable. Solid wine selection.

Good place, nice ambiance. A little pricy for 2 glasses of wine though but you pay for quality

The Pasta is amazing fresh! I came here with my kids, wife and sister a few months ago. We all liked the restaurant very compact but cozy. The server was prompt and food came out great.

When everything works, you leave satisfied. Beautiful night, a good beer selection, the bianchi y neri pasta was delicious, and the cheesecake was a great ending. Service was very good, and the atmosphere was very enjoyable. Thank you Bacchus Wine Bar!

Tapas are great, always. For happy hour (4-6pm) every alcoholic beverage comes with a free bite -- can't beat that.
