Top 40 Gluten-Free Cocktail Bars to Experience in San Francisco

Jessica Wilmer

We went for happy hour and are immediately obsessed. $6 house margarita, fantastic. $3 street tacos, delicious. They have a community table, beautiful patio, nice music. Menu specifies dairy free, vegetarian option, gluten free, and spicy.

Great service, very little wait. Pizzas were good, and love their gluten-free pizza options. Even though it’s a chain, it’s a nice place and worth the Uber!

Freekeh is a hidden gem in SF and strikes that rare combination of amazing food, service, and ambiance. We ordered a house sampler to try their various spreads and could not decide which one was our favorite- they were all that good, though the muhammara is a must-try! I am gluten intolerant and they happily accommodated me with homemade GF lavash-esque chips to go with the spreads. We also got the cauliflower and three different skewers - would highly recommend the kufta and shish tawook (chicken); each came paired with different sauces and were incredibly well marinated and tender. We tried two desserts and loved the halawa o buza- creamy, nutty, and the perfect amount of sweet. Our dining experience was complemented by the owner and waitress, who took great care of our table and simply radiated kindness and warmth. It was such a pleasure to dine here and we can’t wait to come back!

One of my favorite restaurants in SF! So many naturally gluten free options. The catfish, bun cha, and the chow fun are amazing. Highly recommend

Kristie Rolfsen

MUST EAT HERE! Celiac, just eating gluten free, or not. This place is amazing. We loved the Chicken Tinga Tostadas and Rolled Tacos.

Emma C Siegel

Fantastic food and very lively energy! I have celiac disease and I was so excited to find gluten free options here and our server was knowledgeable about allergies. Every dish is made to order so they're able to make customizations based on dietary needs. Cocktails were awesome too. Super excited to have found this spot, looking forward to coming back soon.

Nancy Collins

Love this gluten free menu.

Amazing food, fully gluten free menu!! If they could add cider or hard kombucha to the menu, then this spot would be 10/10 perfect!

Nathan Elizalde

Really good vibe. Porsche went above and beyond to ensure the allergens were avoided. Though they were busy we did not feel they were irritable or rushing us. The food was fine, but it was everything else that makes this place one you want to visit, especially if you have gluten and soy allergies.

Claire Hunter

Wonderful food. Accommodated 25 person group last minute. Wonderful gluten free options. The owner and staff could not have provided better service.

Shannon McIntosh

Love the fennel salad with the fried tofu. Staff was friendly and made sure to accommodate my dietary restrictions. I don't remember seeing the vegan or gluten free options on the online menu but in stores they have both.

The drink "Fool me twice" was just something else!! Simply brilliant. And the gluten free pizza crust is delicious! Can't wait to come back!

Mila Lukić

Really tasty vegan food, even my boyfriend who normally doesn’t like vegan food found it tasty and filling! We got a wildseed burger, a watermelon salad, spicy sausage pizza, pasta and really nice drinks. I recommend the tumeric latte and charcoal lemonade :) They offer gluten-free options too, and obviously everything is dairy free as well :) The ambiance is nice and I’d come back again!

chris kolker

Cute small place, recommend checking for reservations first. There were 2 of us and we sat at the bar, it was still great. Great food and service. If gluten free, don’t have nacho chips even though they are corn, fried in oil used for gluten options. Highly recommend chicken tacos!

Suki Skye

Super fresh and tasty! Our awesome server offered a gluten free menu when I mentioned it, which is amazing.

Aly F

Highly sensitive celiac here and this was one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had. Was amazing and the staff made me feel so comfortable. Had zero reaction. Food was awesome. Highly recommend

Muthu Kumar Chandrasekaran

Ordered gluten free crust Margarita Pizza. One of the most average Margarita Pizzas I had eaten

Elliott Mokski

extremely tasty food. Lots of gluten free options including a terrific key lime pie

Erin Davis

Great gluten free options. We brought a customer here after an all day meeting. Cocktails were delicious - great margarita.

Ifco Sladek

Perfect food, great service. Gluten free pizza available

AN AUTHENTIC ITALIAN RESTAURANT. I say for 3 reasons: 1. All the staff are Italian 2. A member of my dinner party lived in Italy for several years, is fluent in Italian who also has an Italian husband and she confirmed this place screamed proper Italian 3. It gave me massive nostalgia of my recent trip to Italy a few months ago. I came with a party of 7 for my girlfriend's birthday. The manager Andrea was there at the front door to welcome us and quickly made small talk with our Italian speaking party members. We were sat upstairs in a balcony type seating which gave us a full view of the dining room - absolutely beautiful. Our waiter Marco was attentive and knowledgeable about the whole menu. We had a child with celiac so he quickly told us everything that she could eat and she loved every bite of it! All of the appetizers were amazing especially the meatballs, we had to order a second round. We ate the calamari, salads, and burrata which tasted amazing. We ordered individual pasta entrees of different varieties. Each member of my party could not stop talking about how delicious it was - IT WAS PROPER AL DENTE. Drinks are so reasonably priced. A glass of wine is $10-$14 which is SOO cheap in my opinion but all the wine tasted amazing - the bottles all cost about $40-$50 which is very affordable. To further compliment Marco, it was a busy evening but he never forgot a single thing we ordered even down to the modifications in a single persons entree. Even if his other duties created a longer wait time for our requests he continually reassured us that he would take care of it which he did. Desserts were phenomenal and they were nice to us to comp a dessert for the birthday member. We had the Tiramisu, Red Velvet Cake, and the Panna Cotta. Each one tasted amazing and we continually ate them despite how full we all were. Andrea was also so kind to bring the celiac child (Born in Italy and also speaks Italian) some gelato as it was gluten free and she was so thankful!! Andrea also gave us some Limoncello which tasted delicious! As someone who works for a high-end restaurant in San Francisco, Bottega truly is one the best restaurants I have had the pleasure of visiting. This place is 20/10 and I WILL be back as soon as I can. This is a repost of my yelp review, I wanted to make sure it was on both google and yelp.

Elle Ala

Great pizza. Gluten free option is available as well. The pizza has a very thick crust which is vey delicious.

Allison Dewberry

The food was amazing!! They make their corn tortillas in house and they are fresh and delicious!!!

Alex Tonelli

The gluten free eggs Benedict was world class

Michelle Barnes

Visited for a Saturday dinner. You can make reservations on Resy for indoor or outdoor seating (free cancellation up to 3 hours before otherwise a $10/person fee). I put in a request to sit in their beautiful plant atrium, which they were able to accommodate. Small menu but lots of gluten free options, some vegetarian, and some dishes can be made vegan. I got the Risotto ala Milanese and my friend got the Double Cheeseburger with fried egg. We both also got the featured 2022 pride drink Blue Ivy and shared the duck fat fries. The duck fries were perfectly crispy and had an amazing flavor! We both really liked our cocktails as well. Unfortunately my risotto was rather bland and both entrees were on the smaller side. Would only return for those fries and to try some of their other cocktails

Andrew Becker

Excellent food, service, ambiance. Very good and varied gluten free options. Hard to find service this good anywhere. Food was cooked precisely— lettuce was great on the salad, steak was temped to the degree. Very good martini. A rarity to find a restaurant this well orchestrated at any price.

Mary Olney Fulham

Everything was spectacular. Standouts were the panisse, cauliflower, and flower bread. Many vegetarian, gluten free, and dairy free options.

Heidi Barnes

Sadly not very gluten free friendly but the service and atmosphere made up for it! :)

Danielle Deibler

Great burgers. Fantastic gluten free bun.

Trish Lee

Of course you have to get the tea leaf salad, but the seafood consommé and whole branzino with fermented tea leaf chimichurri were excellent. The interior space is sexy and well though out. Also very gluten-free and diet friendly. Definitely a great add to Hayes Valley.

Yi-Chieh Chen

German beer hall restaurant 🇩🇪 🍻 🥩 featuring vibrant vibe and nice view Hits: - Bratwurst (juicy and nicely crisped. The sauerkraut has an amazing tartness and bacon bits) - Gürkensalat (refreshing balance to the meat heavy dishes) - Fries (good snack for sharing) Miss: - Curry sauce is too sweet for my preference Side note: - Bratwurst can be made gluten free without the pork jus - Service can be a bit haphazard (probably because of how busy they are)

Laura Henderson

We held a 30-person corporate reception and dinner at Zingari last week. Our guests have shared so much positive feedback on the setup, service and food - all fabulous. As the organizer, I was relieved to choose from so many vegan/gluten-free options on the menu. Thanks Neeraj to you and your team for treating our guests to a wonderful evening - we'll be by next time we're in San Francisco.

Catherine Lee

Service was amazing, especially before the dinner rush. I respect and appreciate the wine list, they source wines from Italy that highlight biodynamic varietals from their natural origins. They are able to accommodate gluten free options for a lot of dishes. Flavors of dishes in all courses, including dessert, taste genuine and natural (in a good way). Definitely ask the servers for recommendations of both food and beverages. P.S. I’d recommend starting your dinner early, as close to 5 as possible for a personalized experience!

Ellen Moulthrop

We were dining with a person who must eat entirely gluten free ( not easy to do in an Italian restaurant). The staff was so good about taking every precaution to make sure our friend was served great food...great gluten free food. The rest of us loved our food as well.min the hustle and bustle of the Marina, I didn't expect to find such excellent service!!

sebastian ferreyra

Was a good option nearby union Square and a block from the cable car. Pricey as everything around but the service was very good, food was ok (nothing outstanding and just a few GF options). If are celiac look somewhere else.

Diana Bacon

Food is so delicious!! Don’t miss the chicken wings. Also if you are gluten free or vegan, they are incredibly knowledgeable. Take out or dine in, it’s one of the best Indian meals in San Francisco

Barbara Heninger

This is a great restaurant for a nice night out - perfect if you are attending theater at S.F. Playhouse (just next door), or the Toni Rembe theater (ACT’s home stage, formerly the Geary) or the Curran, both a block or two away on Geary. The food is delicious Mediterranean — I recommend the Branzino or Salmon — it’s well-marked for gluten free or vegetarian, and the staff is warm and friendly. The vibes are fantastic. This restaurant took over Farallon’s old space, and features all the beautiful sea decor, including lamps like swimming jellyfish and the mosaic tiles of an old public pool decorated with sea gods and goddesses. A must-do in Union Square!

Amanda Butland

Beautiful atmosphere, exceptional food. Very few vegan, gluten free options, however they were very accommodating.

John Low

We loved the tacos - they were delicious. We had so much fun. Met Max the owner. He made us feel to welcome. I highly recommend coming here. Staff was attentive - great service. Gluten friendly.
