What People Are Saying About Parea Wine Bar

In Short – Bright yellow and red walls contrast with the sky-blue ceiling, which is outfitted with floating white tapestries. Neighborhood locals kick back in one of the many comfy bench-like sofas or at candle-lit tables. House music filters throughout, but maintains a conversation-appropriate volume. In addition to an extensive by-the-glass wine list, patrons can choose from a floor-to-ceiling chalkboard menu displaying options like organic soups, salads and seasonal fresh fruits.

Editor's Tips

Where to Sit:
Set on a platform and removed from the main room, the two window seats provide more privacy and are perfect for people watching.
Parking:
The nearest parking option is the Zenanli Parking Garage at 20th and Valencia.
What to Drink:
Specializing in mostly European wines, one can choose from a dozen or so reds and whites from Greece, Spain, France and Italy plus a handful of selections from Austria, Germany, Australia and the US. In addition, the bar offers bottled beers like Heineken, Chimay and Amstel Light and taps such as Pilsner Urguell and Sierra Nevada.

A wonderful wine bar!!

by seadine at Citysearch

So happy to finally have a nice wine bar within walking distance of my Noe Valley home (the bars in our 'hood are grim!) Anyway, Parea was lovely -- nice friendl and knowledgeable service, interesting wine list (with quite a few unique greek offerings you don't find everywhere), and the food (we had apps and shared a special) was simple but nicely done.

Romantic Setting for a Glass of Wine with your partner!

by desertfox30 at Citysearch

I stopped in this past Saturday! It was a great place to stop in and get away from your typical Saturday night club setting! My wife and I got wine and the cheese plate! I was impressed by the service we received. The food & wine was great! I feel the decor of the place needs a little something. The waitress was very helpful also. The owner was there taking pictures of us for the website(he seemed down to earth and friendly) Overall I enjoyed my visit. It's worth going in for a glass of imported wine.

  • Pros: romantic, ambience
  • Cons: That there are not more bars like this one!!!!!
