resolute wine bar: san francisco

Resolute is a wine and beer bar, providing a retail sales experience that celebrates their unique and varied wine collection, while having the ability to morph into and function as a neighborhood wine bar and lounge. To achieve this, zero ten created three distinct, yet interrelated, “rooms” held together by a common language of color, texture, fabric and architectural detail.

The bar is classically detailed with elegant moldings and a Calacatta marble top, finished boldly and unexpectedly with a bright blue lacquer. Juxtaposing this high gloss finish stands an antique brass beer tower that anchors the L shaped bar, providing a focal point for the eight beers on tap. Resolute’s lounge is contained on three sides by the dark gray wood storefront and walls of floor-to-ceiling recessed paneling. Large circular pendants act as modern chandeliers and provide the perfect glow over the continuous, custom-designed banquette and casual soft seating wrapping the space. At the heart of Resolute is the wine library, nestled appropriately between the lounge and the bar. Columns of custom wood and brass wine trays define this intimate space, showcasing an eclectic yet comprehensive bottle collection. An intricately detailed walnut lattice screen provides just enough of a visual break between the retail space and the lounge to separate the two spaces visually, while keeping them connected.
