Read moreFinally 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.

The lowest automatic option for tip on the card reader is 20%. I came away feeling like the place is setup to be a ripoff.
If you want to think of yourself as classy, aren't hungry, and/or don't mind parting with your money, this is the perfect...
