Mili Wine Bar

such a lovely addition to the neighborhood :)I love stopping by here after work to grab a glass of wine. the atmosphere is nice--lively music, amazing service, great vibes. its also very close to bart/muni.

All you need to know from my first visit which was also my last:- Cozy and cool atmosphere. Comfortable seating. (+)- Good energy, not too loud. Any louder would have been too loud. (+)- Mediocre wine list. (-)- Short, inconsistent pours. (-)- Given the short pours, overpriced. (-)- Cheese plate was ok quality, but portion was meager. And very expensive, given the portion. (-)- Olives were fine, but only one variety. (-)- Service was friendly, good. (+)

Randomly discovered Mili via Yelp while trying to find somewhere to grab a drink near where we parked. It is located on Folsom at the corner of Spear, about a block off the Embarcadero. Mili is relatively small, with around 4 tables, a couple bar-style window seats, and room for ~12 people between all bar seating. There seemed to be a good mix of regulars and people coming in for the first time. I overheard multiple people ask the person working about another one of the staff that's usually there. The menu wasn't huge, but had some quality wines! They had 8 White & Rose options, 7 Reds, and 3 different bubbles to choose from. They offer all options in a Taste size (2oz), Glass (5oz), or bottle. They also have a small food menu. This includes nicer bar snacks such as Marcona almonds, olives, and hummus. They have some smaller plates, which include a delicious looking Buratta dish, tuna poke, cheese fondue, and meatballs with potatoes. If you're feeling fancy, you can get a charcuterie board, or even caviar! They even have a molten chocolate cake with ice cream for dessert! Our Sommelier, Lorelle, was friendly and very knowledgeable about the wines they served. We ordered 4 tastes to start, and she was able to walk us through each one letting us know some tasting notes and other information about the wine. The tasting size is great, since it allows you to try a few before making a decision on a larger glass, or just taste a handful of different wines!We unfortunately didn't try any of the food, as we had just recently come from dinner. The other person working, Jose, was managing all things food prep while Lorelle handled all things wine. With all the tables taken, we sat at the bar and had a great view of Jose putting together delicious dishes the whole time! There were several dishes on the food menu that looked and sounded good, so we're definitely looking forward to going back!Thanks again for a great experience! IG: @bbnem.eats

Great wine, amazing ambiance, and friendly service! Also this bar is in one of the coolest buildings in SF! Definitely recommend!

Always a lovely experience visiting Mili wine bar, John is always super friendly with recommending wine choices and I love that they have a taste option as well a full glass. They are generous with their pours and it's a great ambience to chat with friends, though it can get crowded after work! Would highly recommend trying out their different wines here!

Stopped in here for a drink on a Friday and it was very cozy. The wine selection was wonderful and glasses were fairly priced. The staff recommended a really great orange wine that we loved.

I found this place when I searched wine bars near me after eating at Angler and it was a short walk away. I loved the vibe and it seems like the perfect place for a night cap, catching up with friends or a first date based on who all was there. The service was prompt and attentive. It was very clean. It was a nice way to end the night and wasn't too busy for a Thursday night.

Nice wine bar near Embarcadero. The wine is of good quality, but the menu wasn't too long that overwhelmed you in your choices. The service was friendly. It's a perfect spot for a happy hour and noise levels are low allowing a great conversation!

Mili Wine Bar is an absolute delight! From the moment you step in, you're greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere that immediately sets the tone for a memorable experience. The selection of wines is impressive, catering to both novices and connoisseurs alike. But what truly sets Mili apart is the host - knowledgeable, welcoming, and passionate about their craft. Whether you're looking to explore new wines or simply unwind with a glass of your favorite, Mili Wine Bar is the perfect destination. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a stellar wine experience!

Amazing selection and great guy tending bar.I'm a wine collector and generally avoid wine bars, but I would return here.
