10 Best Wine Bars in Carlsbad

“I appreciate a place with great wine and a beautiful charcuterie display. I highly recommend“

“We enjoyed our first time at Little Victory. The food was excellent, the seasonal Pasta (summer squash, blistered tomatos) was absolutely unreal, one of the best pasta dishes I have ever eaten. The basque cheesecake was delicious as well!

As a first timer, I think the restauraunt would benefit from a small sign outside directing guests to the correct area inside to check in for a reservation. It felt like we were intruding because we didn’t know where to go and to be wandering around getting passed off from server to bartender to someone else to try and find a host to check in with wasn’t a great first impression. However, once we got sat, the staff were truly friendly. Our server was able to give us helpful guidance on the wine list and we liked the wine we chose.

The atmosphere was pleasant and the space is well decorated, but we did notice as it got more crowded later in the evening it became increasingly louder inside, which made it challenging to hold a conversation. Maybe some aesthetic looking sound absorbers would help!

Overall, a lovely little spot tucked off in a quiet street of Carlsbad. Definitley worth a visit if you enjoy a good Southern California wine bar vibe.“

“Beatiful place I love it Great fooooood“

“Came here for a Latin night with friends loved the music and the food came out quickly. The music was way too loud but it was still fun and we stood towards the back of the place.

Never been here before this, it would be nice to try coming here on a normal day to hangout with friends and have a few drinks with food.“

“Visited for a special event dinner with Epoch winery from Paso Robles. The owner of the store was exceedingly gracious and friendly and the event was a great success. The store has a pretty wide range of wine offerings as well as local craft beers, with several exclusive/harder to get wines as well as more mainstream options. The store is admittedly "Paso-centric" in their overall portfolio, but the prices are consistent with what you would see at the wineries. They also have cheeses for sale at the front counter.“

“I am definitely going back here. The food was outstanding the service was outstanding, I suggest reservations you can get them online but we definitely will be back
Husband got the surf and turf which came with a generous portion of filet a lobster four or five shrimp and veggies. I got the appetizer shrimp barsac, which I didn't like and sent it back because it was not peeled properly so I just ate off my husband's plate and it was really good“

“My mother and I have been here previously, although it's been a while. I booked it for the 2 of us to celebrate her birthday. We truly enjoyed it as we have before. The food was delicious, the presentation was great, my cocktail was delicious, and our server (female - my bad I forgot to get her name) was so kind, engaging, and attentive. I can't wait to fit my mom again and return to Paon! It's an all around wonderful dining experience.“

“Great bar for n the pool area. Went for the music in the afternoon which was twice a week. Not sure about the exact dates or times so ask. We went to the owners reception where we had free wine and cheese and salami snacks. It was a little chilly but they had fire pits to warm you up.“

“Let me say the food and service was great!
Our server Kay knows the menu and had great recommendations. Capellini alla checca was outstanding. Added blackened chicken and made the dish even better.
The Arden pizza was like a steak dinner on pizza. Outstanding!!
Definitely be putting this place on the recall roster.
Tables could use some work, lol“

“I've been going here since 97. I have never been disappointed with the quality or quantity of their food, its always delicious. Simon and Nazie are always friendly and pleasant.“
