The Best Wine Bars in Oakland, by the Record
Oakland has sent exactly one place into the record so far: Snail Bar, honored by Michelin Guide.
-
Rank 1. Snail Bar
Natural Wine Bar
The snails are always on the menu, served in-shell with garlic confit and cashew miso butter, which tells you everything about this natural wine bar's sense of humor and ambition at once. The chef came up through serious kitchens, and the small plates land with a precision that the unfussy Shattuck Ave room does nothing to announce. The wine list runs deep on natural bottles, locals fill the parklet most nights, and the Michelin Guide gave it a Bib Gourmand.
