Press Club

It's been a while since I've visited this classy establishment, however it looks like not much has changed. Two key observations: a diverse menu & a chill ambiance. Perfect for low-key, casual meetups and rekindling 'ol friendship flames. My first visit was in early 2009, with a wonderful businessman friend and a work colleague. Wow, the stories that emerged from our small table, where we enjoyed two delicious bottles of red wine & excellent service. Amazing the range of topics that can emerge from three well-educated, "classy on the streets" San Francisco business professionals, isn't it? Only one of us was a non-transplant well-groomed multigenerational SF resident. So fun!Happy Valentine's Day, Yelp!

We visited press club again last night and it really is my favorite bar, full stop. The hospitality here is like nothing else - Mo and the gang are the best bar staff I've ever known and I'm grateful they're here, grateful this wine list is so outstanding, and grateful for the moments spent with friends here over the years so far and to come. Most of the best bottles I've ever enjoyed have been here - there is such an array of unique and uncommon producers and grapes, something for everyone is on this list. The vibe is so spacious, comfortable, and high-end, but the bottles run the full gamut on price and can be quite affordable. We toasted the opportunity to be here together at this moment in time and what a gift that is. Ps: order the tinned salmon! It's so good!

Cute lounge style wine bar. Charcuterie and cheese plates were good but a little pricey. Great selection of wine though. All in all it was cute but just a little expensive

Amazing place for wine and dine! The location is underground and very quite during the time I went. I don't know much about wine, but definitely, I'll be back for much better vibes.

One of my favorite wine bars in San Francisco is the Press Club the stylish underground wine bar. This is a great place to unwine and enjoy a good glass of wine in the evening . I came here for an European Affair to chat with the Bay Area Friends of Europe about the latest happenings in Europe and San Francisco. I had to represent my heritage for the motherland Spain ( but I'm a proud USA and San Franciscan by birth guy). Everybody represented here from France to the Ukraine. Lots of the chat was around the bitter and sometimes sweet European wine with a bit sampling of course. I am more of a Northern California wine person so I had to do compare and contrast testing myself. Of course my first go to red wine is Pinot Noir and it was from the Salad Bowl region of California called the " Gularte". On the Press Bar menu the red wine was described as "The passion and joy Hunter Pence brought to the SF Giants in 2012"(Yes, Yes, I know the feeling). Yes, it was a sip of joy. Had to school a few people about Reverend Pence and the 2012 Giants .After another glass of the Gularte, I then headed to get something from Southern France a red wine called Castelmaure Col des Vents and the Press Bar Menu called it " Pure Fun". It was fire in a glass. Then I had to have a toast tribute to the motherland Spain with a Madrid red wine called ZestosOld Vine Garnacha. The Press Bar menu described this as " creates a beat in your head. "So Fresh & So Clean, Clean, Clean" Had to get a refill. When you celebrate a traditional European Birthday don't you forget with all due respect The birthday boy or girl has to pay for all the drinks and pick up the bar check

Terrific wine list with many natural wine and minimal intervention options, as well as a delicious food menu with many options. Moody, large space on the subterranean floor of the Four Seasons Hotel -- but great vibes for a date night or night out with friends.

Food was great, service is phenomenal, and ambiance is amazing. You have to go. The price is decent. $14 for the cheapest glass of wine.

I came here recently for a social gathering of about a dozen people. It's a beautiful, large venue with different seating areas (high tops) & lounge style seating with sofas. Our group organizer had prepared two bottles of wine for us (one red & one white) & I opted for the white after hearing the description (it was a slightly fruity white wine from Portugal). After socializing for a while, I was feeling peckish & ordered the pork belly adobo buns. They were sooo yummy. The pork was cooked perfectly, I think there were thin garlic chips added for texture & flavor & the bun was pillowy soft. Our server was pretty friendly & helpful. I would return if I was in the area.

Drinks: 4/5Service: 3.5/5Lovely and classy wine bar in downtown SF. Came after dinner on a Saturday night and were able to be seated at the couches. Wide menu selection and friendly staff. We ordered a bottle of Billecart Salmon - fine and smooth on the palate with subtle sweetnessThe service was slightly lacking when our server didn't check in on us and didn't refill our glasses or water. One of the servers did give us a drink to try at the end as he was practicing with making cocktails - very nice of him.
