We should have known better. The sign says it closed at 10pm. It was already 1040pm when we walked through the doors (people were still drinking, eating). We asked the guy at door if it was open, he said yes so we proceeded to the bar. Ordered 2 glasses of wine (1 each) then come to find out that the darn place closes at 11pm! WTF! It would have been nice to know that before we ordered our drinks. Needless to say, we felt the need to chug our wine (for $12 a glass, you better). Unfortunately, we didnt chug fast enough as we literally got kicked out before we could finish our glasses. And to make matters worse, when we paid for our tab...the server said some BS thing about how the tip can only be added to one of the credit cards and not both. OK I guess...not really understanding why. So then when he comes back with our cards, he retracted the stmt and said, oh "didnt know you ordered 2 drinks". OK that was just weird. Cute place and love that the wine selection is vast but def need some improvement in service.

This is one of my neighborhood wine shops/wine bars and I feel lucky to have it so close by. They have a great selection of wine and craft beer and the decor is quite spectacular (for example: a chandelier made out of wine glasses and large light-up letters in the window). The prices for bottles dont go any lower than $10, so this is definitely not your Trader Joes selection. I havent been to the wine bar side, but the apps looks delicious and the atmosphere looks charming. Tip: If you buy a white that is not chilled, they have a wine chilling machine that will chill it in 5 minutes! Pretty rad, if you ask me.

This place is about quality, not quantity. They dont have a huge selection, but what they carry is superb. I appreciate their variety of prices ($10-$100 and beyond), and the staff is so knowledgeable. Truly, its their knowledge and suggestions that has kept me going back. I have learned a lot about wine pairings from them, and I even had prior knowledge! Even if you know what you want, just have a conversation with them - youll learn a lot of amazing stuff.

What a great wine store! The people who work here really know their stuff and have great advice/recommendations. They also have a $10 wine section with a ton of picks! But if youre looking for a nicer bottle, you can pick that up here too. If you pick up a bottle of white wine/champagne/prosecco, they have a glass chiller than can chill any bottle in about 5 minutes! There is also a cafe in the back with what seems like great appetizers/small plates.

The staff here is so friendly and helpful! I love the fact that the selection is smaller and curated but still extremely diverse regarding regions and grapes. Great store if you want to try something new without the risk of getting a dud. Plus you can drink it right there if youre super excited about your find =)

I go here for the wine, not their other spirits (way overpriced). The staff here really know their stuff. You can tell them exactly what type of flavor youre looking for and price range, and they immediately have awesome suggestions. Grab a bottle to go or chill on the couch there with your drinks.

Our go-to spot in the neighborhood to have a drink or grab booze to go. We often have cocktails but also love that you can open any bottle (at its shelf price) and sit down and enjoy - cant beat the $12 bottles for a large group. Phyllis is the best and always takes great care of us!!

Fantastic little beer and wine store. My only complaint is that their array of options doesnt include a very large collection of sparkling wines. Great place to find a rare European beer or interesting red. Bonus points for being across the street from an excellent BYOB sushi place.

Accidentally walked in when they were hosting a private party with my mom and aunt. Received an unnecessary amount of attitude in being turned away from a woman behind the bar. Used to love popping in here; wont make that mistake twice.

Excellent bar! They allow you to purchase a bottle of wine in their liquor store and drink it in their bar. Additionally they have delicious duck fat popcorn. Their servers are knowledgable and friendly!!

Went here for a friends birthday party and really enjoyed myself. I had a glass of wine and bought some beer to go. I thought the beer was pricey and I could get the same beer elsewhere for less money.

Great wine selection at reasonable prices. Food is good--cant go wrong with duckfat popcorn, cheese and meat. Great vibe and definitely a nice place to relax with friends with a bottle of wine.

Rob Birse

Very cool spot with a selection of approx 300 wines from lesser known producers. Lush doubles as a wine store and bar so you get a win win while shopping for that bottle.

Mike Dotson

beer prices are kinda nuts, but the wines are great and reasonable. My wife and i found our favorite wine on their $10 rack some years back (now $12 rack).

Amazingly Delicious Food (Try the Beef Tenderloin/Lobster Sandwich!) served with the largest selection of wine and beer Ive ever seen!

Dustin Kwee

What a great concept. Buy the liquor of your choice and feel free to drink it in the bar with some friends. Chill atmosphere.

Cesar Carbajal

Great staff, very knowledgeable in their products and were helpful when choosing a bottle. Would come back.

Nice selection of wine, beer and spirits to drink there our take with. Service is a tad slow on the bar side
