Bar Part Time is a visionary wine bar in the Mission District of San Francisco. Three friends and wine nerds ganged together to create something special - a vinyl-driven community dance hall, natural wine dive bar with an eclectic aesthetic honoring all the places and people they love.

The project blurred the relationship between client and architect, forming an investment in local hospitality and deepening Anand’s commitment to place and sustainable business.

Together we took over an abandoned dive bar where we all spent our early 20’s; We strategically repaired what worked and replaced what didn’t. Studio Anand Sheth assembled a team of favorites, including millworker extraordinaire Brandt Hewitt (Medium Small) and go-to hospitality contractor Cookline Construction. We sourced vintage light fixtures from eBay and Stuff (a vintage store around the corner), power-clashed patterns in the flooring and restrooms, and enlisted Meryl Pataky to create the perfectly nostalgic neon pieces above the bar and in the window.

This project was the first completed project by Studio Anand Sheth.
