Sunday, September 6, 2026, 9:00 PM - 5:00 AM ยท Golden Sardine, North Beach, San Francisco
Snacks by Snake pops up at Golden Sardine with a menu of bar bites including shrimp toast, smoked salmon cannolis, and chicken piccata sliders. Runs Sunday from 2pm to 10pm with $5 bar snacks and $15 plates.
Bottle-lined walls and shelves of poetry anthologies share the same compact room in this North Beach bar, where the wine skews natural and farming-focused without veering into trendy territory. The snacks stay deliberately small (tinned sardines from Lisbon, sprats from Denmark, occasional charcuterie) leaving the wine to do the talking. Poetry readings happen upstairs on weekend evenings, which explains why the crowd stays longer than they planned.
