District

(SoMa - 94107)
216 Townsend St.
415-896-2120
SCENE:

This lofty converted warehouse on the newly happening stretch of Townsend Street has exposed brick and beams, a giant U-shaped Brazilian-wood bar and a polished crowd. In deference to its proximity to the ballpark, one flat-screen TV plays the game for fans.

EATS:

It’s hard to categorize District: neither a wine bar nor a restaurant, but a happy hybrid of both. Given that it offers 32 wines by the glass, nine tasting flights and a reserve list of more than 100 bottles, wine clearly plays a major role. But the small plates—such as crisp risotto fritters (arancini di riso), steamed mussels with Pernod and spicy Italian sausage and artful cheese and salumi plates—are a good match for wines of all types.
