Fun bar, but music too loud
My experience at this bar was a mixed bag. I found it to be a fun bar with good food and some interesting wines. However, the live music, which was playing on Sunday, was way too loud. In fact, within 15 minutes of it starting, most customers left. I would only go again when there’s no live music.

A Promising Neighborhood Gem
My experience at Waystone was one of anticipation and intrigue. The restaurant itself looks stately and regal, befitting its name. It's an interesting contrast to its neighbor, a laundromat splashed in the day-glo colors of the hippie '60s. I was drawn to Waystone by its promise of jazz, fine wine, and epicurean dining. As an usher at SFJAZZ, I was particularly interested in the music and the opportunity to linger over local paintings. I have a feeling it lives up to the spirit of a true neighborhood bar — the kind where everyone knows your name.

Charming Jazz Vibes in North Beach
My experience at this wine bar was surprisingly delightful, especially given its location in North Beach. The vibes were very cute, and I particularly enjoyed the live jazz music. The ambience was fantastic, complemented by a great drink selection. I was glad I came and discovered these wonderful vibes.

Cute Spot, Loud Music, Great Food
This cute, aesthetic jazz joint was a great spot for a date night. While the music was very loud, making it hard to hear my date, the food was great. I'd highly recommend the Mac and cheese and popcorn chicken. The bathroom was pretty cute too.

Amazing Food and Wine!
My experience at this restaurant was amazing! The wine was delicious, and we thoroughly enjoyed the watermelon feta salad, which was incredibly fresh and yummy. The overall experience was excellent, with high ratings for food, service, and atmosphere.

Great Music, Food, and Bartender!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The music was a highlight, especially the jazz on Monday. I also enjoyed the good food and the exceptional service from Jackie the bartender, who was great.

Superb Spot with Live Music
My experience at this restaurant was superb. The menu was easily navigable, and the interior design was excellent. I enjoyed the live music, making it a good spot to socialize. It's also pet-friendly. The atmosphere, service, and food all received a perfect score of 5.

A Cute and Vibey Wine Bar Go-To!
This was our second time at this wine bar, and we visited on a Saturday night. I really like this wine bar; it’s so cute and vibey. The lighting here is fantastic and really sets the atmosphere. The selection of wine was great too! We didn’t get to try the food this time, but perhaps we will on our next visit. I also love how attentive the staff are; I appreciate that they would check in on us every now and then to see if we needed anything. This will definitely be a go-to wine bar spot for us.
