Amelie

Amélie San Francisco, located at 1754 Polk Street, San Francisco, is a modern wine lounge with French flair. Its dramatic wall of lushly lit wine bottles and soaring wooden wine shelves transport you far from the hubbub of Polk Street. Whether you’re looking for a romantic rendezvous, a place to unwind for happy hour or a lively hangout, you’ll find the perfect spot at Amélie.

The vintage theater seats in the up-front lounge are ideal for meeting friends or making new ones. Settle in at the sleek, lacquered red bar and you’ll likely be served by one of the co-owners. Head to the back, and a quiet oasis of cozy booths and candlelit tables awaits you. The wine list is comprised of high quality yet affordable wines from around the world.

Half of the list is European with a heavy emphasis on France, with the rest from California, South Africa, New Zealand, Australia, Chile and Argentina. During happy hour (5:30pm – 7:00 pm), indulge in a $10 customized flight with any three wines by the glass. Amélie also serves Champagne, Lillet, Soju cocktails and a wide selection of beer.
