BIN 38 - by bloomspot Staff Writers

An intimate, elegantly appointed spot steps from Chestnut Street, BIN 38 features hand-selected varietals from around the globe—hailing from Argentina, Australia, California, Chile, New Zealand, Oregon, South Africa, and Washington—along with the Old World classics of Italy, France, and Spain. Celebrating a varied array of high-quality libations, BIN 38 extends an eclectic selection of craft brews from an array of premier international and local breweries.

Step into this charming restaurant and wine bar to find an exceptional space home to private alcoves, communal tables, and gold- and burgundy-flecked onyx countertops that flank the bustling bar. Equally celebrated for its cozy, ample exterior, BIN 38 boasts heated sidewalk seating, plush furnishings, and a romantic outdoor fire pit to keep company warm during chilly San Francisco evenings.

To compare and contrast light, fruity flavors with richer, full-bodied notes, enjoy a flight of wines for two served by BIN 38’s affable, savvy staff. Indulge in a sumptuous, three-course dinner for two prepared by executive chef Michael Robertson—featuring locally focused savory starters, hearty entrees, and decadent dessert options—and marry delicious bites with refreshing sips of bubbling prosecco. For an unforgettable affair filled with unlimited wine, beer, and mouthwatering hors d'ouevres, revel among forty of your closest acquaintances in a private party on BIN 38’s heated and clear-top tented back patio.

"This is my favorite wine bar in the city. I love the selection of wine, the food is great, and the noise level is actually conducive toward conversations. On a not-too-cold day, the fire outside is one of the most wonderful hangouts in San Francisco." - Yelp Reviewer Alice P., San Francisco, CA, 5/3/2011
