About this space

We're a convivial neighborhood bar with a quirky, dressed-down tone that makes the space more relaxed and approachable than most wine bars in town.

We host events and activities on a weekly basis ranging from karaoke to trivia night to live musical performances and can use our AV system for whatever you might need. We're right in the middle of a dense nightlife area, stumbling distance from countless other bars and restaurants.

Let us know what you have in mind and we'll follow up within a day.

Great low key venue. Super warm and friendly staff. Daniel was great to work with from day 1 and made the planning process so easy especially as we’re not based in San Francisco. All our guests raved about the food and wine choices. The space itself was just the moody sexy wine bar atmosphere that we were looking for to host our welcome party. Very reasonably priced as well. Definitely would recommend to anyone looking to host an event in San Francisco.

About El Lopo

We're a casual neighborhood bar serving food and drinks from an alternate reality in which California is still a part of Spain.

We feature a unique menu, specializing in sherry, vermouth and wine. Host a special birthday, corporate event, holiday party, or drinks reception here.

We're able to put together custom food and beverage menus for groups larger than 12 and can often modify our layout to suit your space needs.

For groups of 20-50, we can reserve all or part of our indoor space.
