Local wine bar, art gallery with live music.

A2, styled a², on South B Street in San Mateo brings wine, local art, and live music together in an intimate downtown space. The Japanese wabi-sabi-inspired interior gives the bar a restrained backdrop, while artwork and performances add a community connection. We like that a visit can be as much about conversation and discovery as the glass itself. The wine selection spans sparkling, white, rose, and red wines, with tasting flights offering a way to compare different styles. Charcuterie boards provide something to share alongside the drinks. Live jazz and comedy events add another reason to check the calendar before visiting. A2's appeal is a relaxed wine-bar experience that makes room for local creativity, whether you come for a tasting flight or an evening with friends.
