Wolf is a unique and intimate wine bar and cafe located deep within the beautiful historic neighborhood of Mission Hills.

Our interior is inspired by the legendary folklore and arts of native New Mexico. Long considered very special geographical energy vortex on planet earth. Its rich heritage captured the hearts and imaginations of artists, visionaries and free thinkers drawn to its culture, inspiring desert landscapes and breathtaking sunsets for centuries. Our hope is to convert a little of that magic within these intimate walls nighty, offering passionately Old and New world wines and inspired small plates. 

We are led by our owner Johnny Rivera, a San Diego-born restaurateur. Our mission at Wolf in the Woods is to infuse heart and soul into everything we do in our intimate space. Being a part of this neighborhood is special, we want to bring a European feel to every “Cheers!” each night we are open.

Our Team consists of:

  • Executive Chef Carmine Lopez

  • Partner / Florals Renee Aragon-Rivera

  • Contributions by Executive Chef David Lemus & Baker Kelly Stillwell

  • Manager Jeanna Edwards
