Jug Shop

The Extras:

In-store tastings occur several times a month and offer unique opportunities to meet winemakers and experience rare, award-winning and exclusive bottlings. Occasional after-hours tastings are a special treat and still more Jug Shop tastings are hosted by nearby restaurants. Keep an eye out for intermittent and seasonal beer tastings, as well. A calendar of events is on the store's website.

When to Go:

No need to worry about a scarcity of booze for your Fourth of July or Fleet Week festivities--the Jug is closed only two days a year: Christmas Day and New Year's Day.

Parking:

Littered with meters and packed with Jettas, Saabs and Vespas, Russian Hill is perhaps the most frustrating neighborhood to park in San Francisco. Luckily, the Jug Shop offers its customers free parking in front of the store. After hours, this lot serves as hourly public parking for neighborhood restaurants and bars.
