Okay I might be totally biased because this was the first date spot my boyfriend and I went to, but nothing beats it! Super sexy ambience, amazing wine, and some yummy bites if you're hungry. This place holds a special place in my heart!
Union Larder - 1945 Hyde St.
The perfect casual date night spot, especially if you're a wine lover/beer lover couple. They serve small-batch beer and wine, but the best part… they serve Joyride Pizza (my BF and I's fave). Cool and casual ambience, sexy lighting, and all around d...
Woods - 530 Haight St.
I love this spot for a quick glass. We've done drinks here before a dinner date at Lolinda next door. The music is superb, ambience is very cool (and of course, green), and the neighborhood is always lively!
Arcana - 2512 Mission St.
Such a cozy date night spot! Sit at the bar while you wait for a table, I love the upstairs! Super intimate and generally pretty good noise levels for a popular restaurant. The food is fantastic, service is incredible and wine is amazing!
Trattoria Contadina 1800 Mason St.
Great casual wine/beer spot for a date night! Airs on the side of louder noise levels, so wouldn't recommend for a first date haha, but a nice pit-stop pre dinner on Divis!
Fool's Errand - 639 Divisadero St.
If you can snag a good res, such a cute elevated date spot. Love the food here, ambiance is obviously incredible, knowledgable staff, and perfect for sharing a bunch of dishes. The bar here is also great, but I find it to be quite busy while you wait...
Che Fico - 838 Divisadero St.
This spot has incredible food to share, airs on the more casual side, but opts for an incredibly cozy and yummy date night. Grab a drink at Trick Dog before walking over here if you're not in the mood for Italian at Penny Roma!
Base Camp - 2400 Folsom St.
A neighborhood date fave, and for a good reason. Tasty drinks, nicely lit ambiance, heaters (haha), and delicious food. I feel like this is a pretty classic date spot, but you can't go wrong here!
Horsefeather - 528 Divisadero St.
My boyfriend took me here after drinks at Arcana Wine Bar on our second date. Make sure to make a reservation, it fills up! The food is immaculate, gorgeous presentation and stunning overall ambiance. Lots of good spots in the Mission, but this was s...
Lolinda - 2518 Mission St.
I'm a new fan of Pearl 1601, went here on a girl date with my friend Hannah! Such a quaint corner restaurant with a very lovely staff. The interior is stunning and the outdoor seating (which was full on a cold night!) looked enticing. We opted for mo...
Pearl - 1601 California St.
To start, the architecture of this spot is to die for. Love how quiet it is, and always a special seasonal meal!
Itria - 3266 24th St.
A girls favorite, no doubt. But also a perfect cozy spot for a date night. Their pizza is immaculate, music is always good, and the interior design is the perfect recipe for a sexy wine and dinner pairing!
Back to Back - 1257 Taylor St.
Look, I know it's more casual than Woods (where they also serve Joyride Pizza), but it's one of my boyfriend and I's favorite ultra-casual date night spots when we're feeling like staying in our sweats but still getting out of the house. They occasio...
Joyride Pizza - 2055 Union St.
