Back Wine Bar & Bistro
Welcome to Folsom’s Premier Wine Bar & Bistro! Serving 35 inspiring wines by the glass, microbrew beers and a seasonally-focused, wine friendly dinner menu. The casual fine dining restaurant features a beautiful horseshoe shaped custom concrete bar wrapped around a see-through wine wall. For a more casual setting, try our quaint patio with a view of the El Dorado hills. Jeff and Gail Back, of Back Wine Bar in Folsom, have put passion into every detail of their venture, and it's clear. With rich wood tones, a bistro-esque outdoor patio with a gorgeous view and cozy, accommodating interior space, they've distinguished themselves from other Sacramento wine bars. Voted best wine bar in Folsom/El Dorado Hills 4 years in a row! Now Zagat Rated

"Our experience was excellent. We were looking forward to trying the short ribs but they were not on the menu for valentine's week. This was not a problem as the halibut was excellent. We enjoy taking our own wine and appreciate no corkage wednesdays, although they do have an extensive wine list. We will certainly go back again."

"great food, gnocchi was fantastic, the braised short ribs were good, but tasted like mom's pot roast - it was good, but should of been called "Pot Roast". Service was wonderful."
