A narrow, candlelit Mission wine bar with a natural and Italian wine focus, a 'Cheeky Hour' program, and an Italian-inspired small plates menu. Birba feels like a wine bar you'd find in a Roman side street — intimate, unhurried, and focused on the pleasure of a well-chosen glass. One of the Mission's best wine bar happy hours for serious wine drinkers.
