Buddy the Bar: Your New Favorite Natural Wine Haven in San Francisco
I’m a huge advocate for places with great interior design, great music, and great eats. Upon stumbling across Buddy the Bar on a rainy afternoon in San Francisco, I was happy to find the place where all the things I love intersect with a community-centric locale.
Nestled in one of the most culturally diverse and colorful neighborhood of San Francisco, aka the Mission, this cozy nook of a bar invites all wine lovers with its warm, sage green interiors and delicious menu concocted by a Filipino chef, Christopher Mendoza.

Discovering the Best Natural Wine Bar in San Francisco: First Impressions of Buddy the Bar
Buddy the Bar has such a cozy feel to it. It’s the type of wine bar that you go to on a rainy day in San Francisco with your partner or with a close group of friends. It’s the type of wine bar that you go out on a first date to, without it being overly pretentious. It’s the type of bar you’d sit down with your parents at when they’re visiting you in the city.
I love this bar because not only does it have the right to boast being an aesthetically pleasing, cozy natural wine bar, but it also has the right to brag about its other drink offerings, such as their cocktails. Which shouldn’t be a surprise, considering the team behind Buddy the Bar is comprised of people who own some of the best bars in the city, like Nicolas Torres of True Laurel.

What to Expect from San Francisco’s Premier Organic Wine Bar
Great food. Great service. Even better music.
If you’re a fan of oldies, you’ll be pleased to see that they have an extensive collection of records next to the bar and you’ll be sipping on your glasses of wine while listening to one of the albums. There’s nothing better than a glass of wine, good food, and good music, all at the same time. It makes the experience so much better.
The Wine Club
Just like any tasting room and winery, you have the option to join Buddy the Bar’s Wine Club. There are 3 tiers: Good Buds at $65, Great Buds at $95, and Best Buds at $125. Each tier promises a curated experience every month featuring curated selections from their exquisite wine collection.
Private Events
If you love the interiors so much you want to host a birthday party or a work event, or perhaps an engagement party or an influencer event, Buddy the Bar has got you covered. With plenty of space and seating and an already welcoming vibe, this is the best venue for fostering deeper connections with invitees.
I would absolutely love to host an event here one day. I’ll fill you in when the day comes.
Final Thoughts
This is the place to be for cozy vibes, great conversations, and great wine.
