Fool's Errand: A Neighborhood Gem for Wine and Beer Lovers in San Francisco

Always enjoyed this place! On nice days there’s outdoor seating available. Several big tables good for groups or sharing with small groups. Unique wines to try. Recently introduced a non-alcoholic drink selection and the sparkling rose was one of the best I’ve had. Free popcorn during happy hour.

Absolutely wonderful neighborhood gem! Great vibe and amazing owners. Quite a diverse and expansive wine list. Well worth checking out.

Loved having tinned fish as tapas when I visited Portugal, and this is the closest I've found in SF. Their "snack" menu is aptly named, since it's not huge. But, we enjoyed the smoked mushrooms and the mackerel in olive oil. If anything, could have used a little more bread. But, the service was fast, the they have a good beer selection, and I would definitely go back. #localspot #drinkoutside

Stumbled upon this NoPa gem and can't stop raving about it. Fool's Errand nails both the wine and beer game - their carefully curated wine list features some incredible finds, while the rotating taps showcase the best of Bay Area craft brewing. The space is warm, cozy and inviting. What really makes this place special though is the staff - incredibly knowledgeable without any pretense. They'll guide you to your next favorite pour whether you're a total novice or a certified wine nerd. Also, they’re super friendly people who are fun to talk to! The snack menu perfectly complements whatever's in your glass, making it dangerously easy to lose track of time here. This is exactly the kind of neighborhood spot that makes SF's food and drink scene so special. Already added it to my regular rotation!

Finally found my new go-to spot in NoPa! Fool's Errand is that perfect neighborhood gem where you can geek out over natural wines or sip on local craft beers without any pretense. The wine list is seriously impressive - they've clearly put in the work to curate interesting bottles you won't find at your standard SF wine bar. Major props for keeping a solid rotating tap list too - loved seeing fantastic Bay Area breweries represented. The space hits that sweet spot between cozy and polished - perfect for both date night or catching up with friends. Their snack menu is on point (exactly what you want with good wine and beer), and it's clear they've thought about the pairings. But what really sets this place apart is the staff. These folks know their stuff and are genuinely stoked to chat about what they're pouring. No wine snobbery here - just passionate people who want to help you find something you'll love, whether you're a total newbie or a seasoned wine savant. Honestly, it's refreshing to find a spot that does both wine and beer this well. This is exactly the kind of place that makes me love living in SF - will certainly be a regular moving forward!

A cozy spot! Very comfortable for someone drinking solo, or with a small group of friends. The outdoor seating, facing Divisadero, is perfect for people watching and feeling "connected" even if sitting alone. The chill ambience is nice! Music isn't overly loud, easy to hear conversation.

Visiting from out of town, our host took us here since it is a favorite. It's easy to see why. A reasonable beer selection, interesting wines, and pet friendly outdoor seating were a highlight. There is a dark interior leading to a room with a wine cellar vibe and more drink selections. Service was fine, efficient and friendly enough. . The exterior suggests it's a dive bar, but the experience is better.
