Verjus is a vibrant Euro-chic wine bar and bistro in Jackson Square, serving delicious French and Spanish small plates alongside an extraordinary wine selection.
"After closing in 2020, Verjus is back. This candle-lit wine bar—from the Cotogna and Quince team—has returned to their original Jackson Square location. The menu focuses on rotating selection of mostly natural wines alongside French dishes like petrale sole six verjus, gigot d’agneau, and pommes dauphine comte. Reservations can be made online and walk-ins are welcome when the kitchen opens at 5pm Tuesday to Saturday. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation
"You’ve probably been to so many Happy Hours at dive bars and breweries that you could be certified as an IPA expert. Change things up and go to Verjus in Jackson Square. This wine bar always has a good rotating by-the-glass list. But instead of doing that, get a few bottles, do a vertical tasting, and learn something as a team for once that doesn’t involve new badging policies or neighborhood seating rules." - will kamensky
"One of 2019’s buzziest new restaurants has been operating as a grocery market Tuesday through Saturday, noon–4 p.m., selling produce from the restaurant’s farm in Bolinas, fresh meat and sausages, local and imported cheeses, tinned fish, and (often fairly fancy) pantry items like imported sea salt and black truffle peelings." - Luke Tsai
"There are some great underground lounges and fancy cocktail bars in the Financial District, but none are as cool, lively, or laid back as Verjus. This natural wine shop and restaurant plays old records, and the wine is organized on book shelves that reach the top of the shiny red ceilings. You will browse them for a new favorite bottle before sitting in the big cozy booth next to the bar to drink orange Chenin Blanc or split French and Spanish small plates with friends. Everything at Verjus is good, but we like the pate en croute, and if you’re in the mood for something sweet, get the french toast - it’s one of the best desserts in the city." - will kamensky
"“This wine bar in Jackson Square has a lot of great things going for it - an incredible natural wine selection and a ton of pantry provisions from their sister restaurants Quince and Cotogna. The focus here should be getting lots of wine, of course, but also everything you need to complement all those bottles - like fresh produce, breads, and other treats that they sell during their Friday farmers’ market.” - LC" - julia chen 1, lani conway
