Kids — they’ll drive you to drink! But where? Even a hotel bar will toss you out for bringing in your child. Here’s the local rule of thumb: if the joint serves hot food, they let kids in. Even better, find a bunch of friendly faces at VinoRosso’s Wine and Whiners. Parents and their tots are specially invited to the weekly party, and since Bernal Hill is the Land of the Breeders, it usually fills up with parents drinking much-needed glasses while the kids raise hell on the floor.
And what will you be drinking? Fine, rare Italian wines, served with seasonal salads and antipasti. At Wine and Whiners special treats for the kids are also on the menu. Don’t miss the house-made lasagna or the desserts, made by the owner’s Italian mama. The space is small, intimate, charming, and directly on Bernal Hill’s main drag.
When: Weekly on Wednesdays, 4-7pm; All ages; Free.
Where: VinoRosso, 629 Cortland Ave. (at Anderson St.), San Francisco, 415-647-1268, vinorossosf.com.
