Logo of Golden Sardine

Named after Golden Sardine, the 1967 collection by Beat poet Bob Kaufman, we are a wine bar, poetry bookstore, and gathering space in the heart of North Beach. We are inspired by the neighborhood's tradition as a haven for artists, writers, and dreamers.

Discover our Wine Clubs, get either an eclectic mix of owner Andrew Nelson’s current favorites and exciting new arrivals, or the Riesling & Champagne Club, a bimonthly selection featuring one bottle of each style.
