EAT | DINE A San Francisco culinary tradition since 1983.

Cheese Please

“A lot of people come here for first dates,” says Jordan Trigg, owner and founder of 20Twenty Cheese Bar as he gestures around his simple and stylish neighborhood tavern. “It’s not intimidating and they can linger a while if it’s a fit, or slip away gracefully if it’s not.”

Most people do linger, though. The ever-changing selection of local, regional and international wines, beer, charcuterie and cheese fill the intimate tasting room with guests interested in noshing on small plates such as salads and sandwiches or sampling chef-inspired pairings.

EAT | DINE Relaxed, eco-chic chain serving health-conscious fare and vegan options, plus cocktails.

|  Why We Love It: Serves healthy, fresh food with the flavor and visual appeal of upscale cuisine. Indoor and outdoor dining offered in a light, open space with an enthusiastic, high energy staff.
