The Red Tail

First time we walked in here based on Google and Yelp reviews, we thought we walked into the wrong place, thankfully we doubled back immediately, and have returned often. Wonderful vibe, feels like a much cooler friend's living room, varied and chill music (DJs on occasion), hilarious bartender, lovely variety of seating (unless it's Tuesday, for trivia you need to get there by 6-6:30), tucked away corners for dates, lovely bar seats for the social clientele or sports fans, coffee table encircled group seating, outdoor parklet...But my favorite nuances:1. Lovely N.A. Options and CBD spritzers (the cherry is delightful), and2. Thank you for having full bags of chips and snacks, not just little overpriced bar snack sizes. Some long days require a full bag.

I liked the vibe, had cool plants and felt cozy. Good wine and nice neighborhood with a lot of shops and restaurants

Always a good time. East street parking. Rotating wine/ beer list. Attentive and friendly bar staff. Patrons are chill and this place is Dog friendly! belly rubs and sips. Love it. There's also happy hour! Been here a handful of times and will be back! Sit outside and soak up the sun. Evenings trivia with prizes.

Cool wine bar/tap room in the Inner Sunset that allows outside food. We came here with a bigger group and took over a corner of the bar. We were celebrating a birthday and they let us bring in pizzas from a shop down the street. We spent a good portion of the day there so we hopped around from beer to wine. They had a mix of both stateside and international wines and lots of local beers. They offered wine by the bottle and by the glass, beers on tap, and bottles and cans of beers/ciders/kombucha. The white wine selection was lacking when we went in, but still a decent mix when you looked at the wine list as a whole. Bartenders were friendly and happy to let us taste before deciding what to order.

Decent little wine and beer bar in the Inner Sunset. I like all the plants. It's kind of tucked away, so you can easily miss it if you're not looking for it.

My wife and I stopped in after work this Friday for a drink. We hadn't been here before, which surprised me as it's been here for over 2 years and we come to 9th avenue often. The bartender couldn't have been more friendly or helpful. They had very unique, interesting, and well priced wines and beers. My wife had a Slovenian white blend. She enjoyed it and then tried a different white, also enjoyed it.I had a west coast IPA followed by a west coast Pale Ale. Both were great. We also had a house snack mix, which was a nice mix of different snacks in a bowl. The serving was so generous we took some with us when we left!I have to also say that the music, from when we went in till we left was great. We constantly were saying, this is a great song or who's singing this cover? It was a DJ spinning all of it off the end of the bar. He was on point.The place itself is cozy, very clean, and a place I'm already looking forward to visiting again.

I went to this bar randomly on a tuesday night and was lucky enough that it was their trivia night. I recommend going for trivia - it was so fun!! Very casual vibe and the winner gets 6 drinks. Losing team also gets something! They allow food from outside places since they only serve beer and snacks. I recommend going to foghorn next door to grab some wings / vegan nuggets. Overall it was a very chill vibe with good options!

I came with a bigger group for happy hour drinks. The bartender was super friendly and helpful--we asked to see all their happy hour wines and he was super patient in explaining each one. I had a rose followed by a sparkling wine, both were great. I also thought the complimentary popcorn was a fun touch. The bench seating tucked into the back corner was super cozy and overall made for a chill neighborhood happy hour!

How nice to find a quality craft beer spot in the inner sunset. Though they've been open a year or so somehow this missed my radar. Guess I'll need to make up for lost time. Red Tail is conveniently located right on the N line AND across from Loving Hut. This is particularly appealing as they allow outside food. Time to get some steam buns to go with all that great beer. And it is truly a solid selection at Red Tail. They have plenty of draft and can selections to keep you proper hydrated. I enjoyed the likes of great notion, temescal, and barebottle while there.And to top it all off, it's a very welcoming space. Simple design, lots of plants, and the possibility of ample light if it's not a grey day. I also spotted some turntables there and would love to play (or listen to) records here. Cheers.

Hit or miss on service & ambiance. Been here many times and there are usually very helpful/hospitable bartenders. Not so on Friday. Respectfully, if a bartender is paying attn to serving the last glass from their already open bottle, they'll take care to pour carefully & avoid serving sediment. When I showed him the sed, his response seemed defensive and condescending. Zero apology or empathy. He shrugged as if "what do you expect me to do about it." I kinda expect a little more out of a self-professed wine bar, that they'd know how to pour and that they'd be a little friendlier when it was pointed out :(. Went down the street to Temple Bar (FKA Blackthorn) where the barman was kind as could be and happy to provide good service and a decent glass of red.
