20 Spot

This cozy Mission District wine bar occupies a former record shop, referenced with stacks of actively enjoyed vinyl along the wall and the space’s original vintage neon sign still protruding above the corner entrance. The vibe is always inviting, with cozy couch options and spinning stools along a cozy bar. The kitchen, though small, manages to put out an impressive rotating assortment of mid-sized plates, including the best deviled eggs in town.

Owner Bodhi Freedom’s list inspires thirst, representing both domestic and European sides of the market equally well, and with classical and progressive winemakers sharing the same small space. Come for the Duplessis Chablis, Nikolaihof Riesling, Saillard Loire Gamay, Rouget Vosne-Romanée, Jolie Laide “Halcon” Syrah or Tinon Furmint and stay to shoot the breeze with the many wine industry folks who pop in after work or on days off.

Corkage is $25 for the 1st bottle. $50 for all subsequent bottles.
