Flatiron Wines & Spirits

A lovely spot in Fidi SF to grab a drink with friends! A hidden spot in this large store part of the hotel, there's a tucked away seating area that sells wine by the glass / bottle and also some small bites. We also recently found out they do weekly/monthly wine tastings for affordable prices too!Service was good and generous pours, I really liked that this place was tucked away in a corner and very cozy with a good selection of wines.Would highly recommend this place!

Thank you so much for the wine. Great customer service and quick response. Fast shipping. I loved having a pick up option locally in case I was not home. Everything was shipped perfectly and with care. I can't wait to enjoy the wines with my SO. Cheers!

This was my first time buying from this place, in fact my first time in a long time buying wine I wanted to care about. I'm just beginning to recover from years of not really wanting much to do with this stuff. But I needed a bottle of beaujolais from one of the 10 crus for a tasting, had identified Brouilly as one I'd bring, and flatiron had a better selection than anybody else in town. So I bought a bottle online, to be picked up sometime within a few weeks or month or two, whichever comes first. It's a very busy corner, their location, but if you call ahead they'll bring what you bought online out to your car. Very convenient service, though likely less available when things get really busy inside the store. Not exactly like one of those old-style hamburger driveins with carhops, but the thought did come to mind. Anyway, as I drove toward the store and was about a block away I called and sure enough as I approached the place (no parking in sight, so this service is well worthwhile for both customer and retailer) out comes a delightful young woman with my bottle in hand. Quick exchange and I was off and happy to have what I wanted... but wait just a minute, as I was driving across the GG bridge I noticed the label wasn't what I ordered at all, not a Brouilly but a Cote de Brouilly, which may not seem a big deal but in fact is something of a big deal and here's why. First I was looking for this particular DOC for a particular reason, no matter what that reason might be. Now, I'll have to buy another bottle of what I need. Second, this is most likely a better wine since the vineyards are on the side of a bit of a hill, not exactly a mountain just a fairly tall hill. Makes for better wine all else being equal. Finally, it does make me wonder how the mistake happened in the first place, other than that whoever grabbed the bottle either didn't read the label to confirm what it was, or worse didn't know the difference. I doubt the latter so it was just a mistake in the heat of the moment. As the price for the Cote is some bit higher than the wine from the flatlander Brouilly, and because I'll have to buy another bottle of something to replace this one, I'll just accept the upgrade as a gift, a token from serendipity. Next time I'll just park the car nearby and pick out a bottle myself, as the store looks interesting anyway. Who knows, maybe I'll get interested in wine again. ok so my attention has been redirected to this place, but instead of writing some kind of revisit review that usurps part 1, let's just pick it up where i left off. that being i still needed a bottle of Brouilly and the website for this place shows they have some on hand, unlike most other purveyors in town as far as i could tell on the 'net. so i decided to actually park my car this time and go inside. the effort was well worth the, well uh you know... the effort. this is really quite a good wine store as it turns out, perched as it is on an inconvenient corner. but there are spaces in front and on the side street with a white curb you can park for awhile. how long that "while" might be is anybody's guess. i was in the store at least 25 minutes and no parking official or tow truck happened by. i won't go into the breadth of selection here but only mention there were many wines on the shelf i haven't much seen on this side of the country (what i mean by that? well the market here is so dominated by california wine that consumers may not know much about what lies east of here. obviously there just isn't much demand for many wines otherwisee well supplied in metro new york and dc. so it was a bit of an old home week for me here, though still it lacked some of the "markers" i look for to get a quick gauge on how well the store suits me (to wit, spanna, ladoucette, tokaji, etc). anyway, it looks good. mrbadhabits says check it out

What a find! Located on New Montgomery- next door to Palace Hotel. I needed to pick up a case of wine there & drove around twice looking for it. The great thing is there's a huge loading zone in front. Flatiron is deceptively huge. Labeled room after room with aisles & aisles of wines from different countries & regions. It's like a library for wine. I asked for an all purpose Pinot I could keep for party invite emergencies. The guy made a beeline to the perfect reasonably priced bottle. These guys really know their stuff. And bonus, there's a wine bar, great for sampling a few varieties.I also bought a hard to find Lillet Blanc. The two wines were put in a bag together. I stupidly put the bag on the back seat. After a hard break, the bag rolled off the seat & the Lillet, (thinner glass) shattered, leaving my car smelling like a dive bar. I drove home holding the dripping bag out the window. Luckily I wasn't stopped for any traffic violation.They also receive shipments from different states if you order something there. Anyway, I absolutely 100% recommend Flatiron.

Flatiron Wines and Spirits is a solid destination for your shopping consideration. Sure it is not a BevMo or Total wine etc, but it has a wonderful boutique feel with great service.Found a bottle of Knob Creek 12 price was a tad high but finding this bottle is hard.They had plenty of Blanton's ( price was pretty fair)Even had a bottle of Pappy 23 ( crazy prices but it is what it is).Highly recommended if you are downtown in the FiDi.

I collect aperitifs, liqueurs, amari, and digestives, so when I stumbled on Flatiron on a recent trip to San Francisco, I was intrigued and delighted. For one thing, it is in the stunning, luxurious Palace Hotel complex (my favorite hotel on the West Coast -- you have to see it to believe it) and on my favorite street in San Francisco, Market Street (a stone's throw from my other go-to hotel, the Marriott Marquis). Just a stroll up and down this street revives my spirits, every time.Flatiron has a store in NYC in the Flatiron district, natch. This store opened second but is as good if not better, bigger, and for me, closer. When you are a collector, you are always looking for boutique stores that sell niche and specialty products. Flatiron has some of the best and its inventory of Northern European fine wines and spirits makes it the first place I go when my local boutique doesn't have a product I want.Every holiday I search for new finds to give as gifts and add to my stash. I cook (don't faint) with these spirits and serve them in tiny crystal glasses when people stop by. They look and smell as delicious as they taste. This past New Year, I ordered a bottle of Sicilian Marsala from Flatiron. The brand is hard to find, impossible in Los Angeles and there are only one or two places that carry it in the US. The rest are in Europe. Imagine the shipping. Flatiron had it and not only that, got it into my hands in 4 days. During Covid, with FedEx, which has been known to fool around with deliveries lately (don't ask). Whatever Jedi mind trick Flatiron's wizards worked on FedEx, it was here in a flash, beautifully packaged in a special egg-crate gizmo that cradled the bottle like a baby.Flatiron has others of the best in my collection like Mallo Nocino, Lillet, Chartreuse (of course) and Elderflower. Please do shop there or online. They will take good care of you. Oh and btw, they have a killer newsletter that educates and entertains. Flatiron: I have an ask. Please carry Piedmontese Cardamaro -- scarce everywhere but a gem.Love this store!

Loved the atmosphere and laid back feel of this tasting room! I came during the day mid week and had the whole place to myself. The wine list had a good variety and even though the majority of the list weren't CA wines, they were incredible. There were a few local wines available for tasting. I really loved the Bordeaux from South Africa. Jammy and peppery! If I wasn't traveling I would've definitely stocked up on it. Enjoy!

Super cool atmosphere, with a wide variety of selection. The staff are friendly and very knowledgeable.Most weeks there are wine tastings directly from the seller, they're a good value and very fun!

This little place has HUNDREDS and HUNDREDS (possibly THOUSANDS) of wine selections and a small selection of craft beer. Friendly staff, well laid out store. The staff are *extremely* knowledgeable about the wines and can answer any question that a wine noob like myself just can't figure out.They've got hundreds of bottles for less than $20, but if you have money burning a hole in your pocket, they can definitely help you solve that problem too.Not much else to say, but if you're looking for a place near the business district to buy wine - you have found it my friend!

Shopped here a few times and they have amazing collection, with very reasonable price! Highly recommend!
