we were hopping around polk street for a friends birthday, and stumbled across robberbaron. the interior is super cute which is what caught our eye- and they seemed to have enough room to accommodate our large group.
upon arrival, we were greeted with big smiles from matt, and luc (the owner) quickly joined him. they made our cocktails VERY quickly. we all really enjoyed trying each others- they were all DELICIOUS- and have the most hilarious names. they also have an incredible beer and wine list.
after closing our tabs, luc came out with a bottle of bubbly on the house for our birthday girl. we were all beyond impressed, thankful- and overall blown away.
the overall kindness, hospitality, and great conversations with matt and luc truly helped make it a perfect night.
we have already started chatting with them about future birthdays and events. amazing music, vibes, drinks employees- truly can't ask for more.
we can't wait to come back soon!!!!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0Business owner information

I've walked by here so many times and everyone I know loves it but I finally stopped by and totally get it! Its a great little spot that is super dog friendly and has a great selection of wines and some unique cocktails as well. The staff were also really nice and helpful if you had any questions! I can't wait to go back!

Super cute, intimate wine bar with really friendly service. When I came by on a Friday evening, there was a live band playing outside and the vibes were excellent. Definitely a good place to stop by on Polk Street!

While visiting a friend in the area, we decided to check out a couple local bars. RobberBaron popped up on the list and looked interesting, so we dropped in for a drink.
The first thing we noticed was one of their drinks called "jennifer is dating a weird guy." This was hilarious to us, because my friend's name is "Jennifer." She took a picture of the menu and sent it to her fiance. He actually thought she might have photoshopped it, but he wasn't offended anyway because he considers himself her "ex" boyfriend as they're engaged. Lol. Regardless, she ended up getting a glass of wine.
I tried the "better than aperol spritz." It was good, but not necessarily better than an aperol spritz, in my opinion. The music that was being played didn't match the bar or its patrons, so that threw us off a bit. There was also a big dog in the bar; I think it was a doodle (I can't remember). He was super cute and running around all over the place. Another girl came in with a dog, so it seems very open to pet owners.
We ended up taking off in a hurry, because this lady by the window kept coughing and sneezing and we were paranoid.Helpful 4Thanks 0Love this 4Oh no 0 - Tosh G.Napa, CA2344018Jan 18, 2023
Absolutely love this bar. It's the perfect spot for a date, or to just grab a drink and relax. Great wine/beer and drinks, music (sometimes live music!), and various seating options (lounge/table/bar/patio).
Most important of all; the people! The staff are amazing and a cornerstone of the neighborhood, so the patrons are almost always partially regulars and repeat guests. Whether you live in the area and want to build a community, or if you're passing through and want some local vibes, this place is perfect!
Some nights are busier than others, but great times are always found here.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

I don't see anything wrong with being more transparent about your menu. When you have a part on your menu listed under "cocktails" (not low abv cocktails) and having the first ingredient of these cocktails listed as "tequila, vodka, gin"
When it is in fact... not. And you're going to charge as if it IS a real cocktail?
Shady marketing.
When I realized they didn't have a full liquor license, I asked the bartender if people knew that and he said "usually people know it's a wine bar soooo."
This was my first time here and it was extremely busy, I could barely even belly up to the bar. I had no clue and the menu made it seem like they did.
After spending $14 on a fake cocktail at a busy bar with live music on a Saturday, I watched the owner yell at a group of people for not buying anything from her bar, while they were enjoying the live music...
If you wanna be that bar... either don't host live music for a "free" mini bluegrass on Polk or charge a cover.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Hi Dee, thank you for your comment we appreciate all reviews even the ones that hit us in the gut. Rather than get into a debate about low abv or people not buying drinks or what we should charge, I just wanna say, thank you for coming and we are sorry for your experience oh and your dog is cute.

I was here for 30 min at 6pm on a Friday. They put out a spread of free (and delicious) snacks. Then a woman walked in off the street with a bouquet of flowers for the bartender who has once given her a bottle of wine. The bartender didn't remember doing it. Great neighborhood spot.

Loved this place!! A quaint and delightful bar that serves only wine and beer. They have some great wines for a reasonable price (we got a bottle of Chianti for 52$). The wine was absolutely wonderful. Shared two bottles over the course of the evening along with their fantastic charcuterie plate. Along with the cheese and meat the plate had two types of crackers, bread, olives, nuts, mustard, and apples. Yum!
The bartender was super nice and made some good recommendations for the night.
Tip - you get 25% off your first wine glass when you check in :)Helpful 5Thanks 0Love this 5Oh no 0 - Christopher C.Parkside, San Francisco, CA06Jul 15, 2023
If you like good vibes come here. Great wine, cocktails etc. wish I was hungry enough to try the sandos cause I'd probably like those too
