About

Blush! Wine Bar is open Monday through Sunday for dinner and late-night drinks, with extended hours on weekends. It fits neatly into a Castro evening: stop in for a glass of Red Zinfandel and French-inspired bites before heading out. The vibe is upscale casual, with outdoor seating that invites conversation. It's LGBTQ-owned and draws a mixed crowd of locals and visitors in their 30s and 40s.

Ask for the Red Zinfandel, a staff favorite. Live music plays most nights, so you'll likely hear something good while you chat. If you're in the mood for a sweet finish, walk a few blocks to Bi-Rite Creamery for ice cream.

Blush! Wine Bar is in the Castro, known as the epicenter of LGBTQ+ culture in San Francisco. The area is lively with bars, shops, and restaurants.
