I promised myself that I’d never write about The Wine Bar (2032 Polk St. at Broadway) for the sheer fact that I hate the place, but this one is just too good to pass up. SFist has noted that TWB’s license has been suspended for 10 days due to “consumption and/or sale of alcohol after hours.” From the looks of the ABC notice, the bar should be reopening today.
This really doesn’t surprise me. It’s been a while, but I’ve spent countless nights drinking wine and listening to music in there after 2 a.m. I wouldn’t say it’s common for the aging hipster bartenders or the headband-wearing owner to sell drinks in there after hours, but they do make a habit of serving in there until 4 or 5 a.m. I guess when you don’t have a real job to wake up for, sunrise is a habitual hour to hit the lights.
