Don't bother looking for NA here. While I appreciate that the jug shop is all about things Alcohol, it needs to get with the times and stock a more thoughtful selection of NA. Please get Lagunitas NA-IPA or athletic brewing - delicious and you feel good the next day.

Always spot on with recommendations, whether $17 or $70. Lovely, helpful, knowledgeable staff and a really great staple of the neighborhood.

One of my favorite bottle shops - people are extremely friendly, prices are very reasonable, and they host some kick ass events. Went here recently for a natural wine event and it was amazing - this is the place to go if you like natural wines (huge selection) and many local vendors and international distributors will have different varieties available. The organizer of the event took random bottles of the shelves and kept pouring for guests, and the staff even ordered food for everyone - just awesome. Ever since getting hooked on natural wines during my last Paris trip I've been wanting to find a good local spot to try more - this is the place! Make sure you follow them on Instagram to get notified about their future events!

Great selection of wine and spirits just off busy Polk St. The folks staffing the shop were thoughtful, knowledgeable, and helpful. Prices were at par with big box stores. You have a choice--choose a locally owned store with folks who aim to please.

I am that kind of person that likes drinking wine, but I am terrible at choosing wines. A big wine list at a restaurant intimidates me and walking into a wine shop like this, with shelves full of wines, has a similar effect. What I liked about The Jug Shop though is that they "curated" a select few of their wines by adding little notes to the shelf. Kind of like you'd find in an independent bookstore, where you would find staff picks with little book reviews. Now, I'm pretty gullible and who know if they just posted notes to the bottles that they wanted to get rid of, but I liked this touch and it helped me zoom in and focus on a few choices. In fact, I even took a picture of the little "review" they'd written and sent it to my my friend who hosted me for dinner that evening and for whom I'd gotten a bottle of wine. This store is a "weird" one in that it looks and feels like a warehouse, yet there is a tasting area set up in the back of it. And browsing through some of the other reviews, I understand that they host serious tastings here and are quite professional at what they're doing...which in turn gives me confidence that the "staff picks" were honest and true. Lastly, I want to mention the Roti Roti truck in the parking lot: what a genius idea to pair this food truck with a wine store! If I weren't headed for dinner, I would've totally picked up a rotisserie chicken that would've certainly gone well with that bottle of wine I'd just picked. In fact, I've worked with the folks from Roti Roti for a company event and their chicken is fantastic.

The best liquor store in SF, moving back to their original location on Polk. The Jug shop is a city icon.

Walked up 10 minutes after close. The clerk saw me, unlocked the doors, "Can't leave anyone hanging". Great local shop, give them your business.
