Three of the Best Champagne Bars in San Francisco

The bubbly trend is a real thing. Recent studies showed that Champagne is good for your health and drinking three glasses of champagne a week could help to stave off dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. Bottoms up!

From coast to coast, bubbly bars are making their mark. Here are a few worth seeking out whenever you find yourself in San Francisco.

The Fine Mousse

People are starting to seek out less expensive options to pair with low-end treats such as potato chips in addition to fancier caviar, truffles, and oysters. The Fine Mousse caught onto this trend and are serving French fries with their Champagne menu. This Bay Area watering hole offers duck fat fries with dipping sauces such as grapefruit-curry and yuzu pepper mayo.

The Riddler

Situated in Hayes Valley, The Riddler has a variety of champagnes to choose from. They also offer complimentary popcorn with different flavors with every glass of bubbly. At The Riddler girls rule the world, as this chic Champagne bar is entirely backed by ladies.  Most of the team is female, the name comes from a female-created process of “riddling” Champagne, the space has overtly feminine vibes, and many of the collaborators are women.

Tofino Wines

If you like champagne or sherry, an evening at Tofino Wines on Geary should be a priority. You can also take home over 700 bottles from small, family-run estates in California, France, Italy, and Spain. Unlike many wine bars, Tofino is actually housed in a massive open, and airy space. Grab a seat at the bar or by the window, and enjoy one of 30 wines by the glass or craft beer on tap.
