50 Best Wine Bars near Altadena

“Best pub in the Altadena area. It is a family run business, and really, a more traditional "public house." Not too many places like this around! Guiness and other European ales on tap. Nice selection of wines too. Say hi to Judah, Gail & family and help support Altadena!“

“The food was very tasty, will be back next time“

“We had such a wonderful time. Amazing wine & terrific food!“

“From the initial greeting, to the lovely outside seating, to the great service staff, to really great flavors, it was a terrific meal. Our whole group concurred, “let’s come back here.”“

“My friends and I had a wonderful experience at Cannonball. First of all, the biscuits are to die for. We ordered the prawns and they were extremely tasty. We shared the sea bream and that was a very tasty and interesting dish. The presentation was beautiful especially with all the colorful ingredients.“

“Bacari Glendale: It is a beautiful place we have always wanted to go to. We took two friends for a belated birthday dinner (and as the staff realized it was just that, they even rewarded us with a delicious birthday dessert :-). Great service, nice ambiance, and delicious food - we had the bread (could have been a bit more for the $4,50), then shared the Mac & Cheese topped up with the pear and brie pizza that was the best.“

“10’s across the board: food, atmosphere, staff. Always something new on the menu. Cannot go wrong eating (or drinking) here. Friendly servers, inviting atmosphere. Incredible meats - that can be purchased to cook at home too. Best fries.“

“Had the Wine flights ( bubbles and reds) and lunch. The food was freshly prepared with vegetarian options. The blue cheese was extraordinarily delicious and the English Chedder along with freshly prepared fig jam and pickled tomatoes were also delicious. The chef is for sure highly talented. The service was excellent. The bubble wines were very good with lots of taste and flavor. Some of the reds were not that good. Would not recommend this flight .“

“Relax atmosphere, awesome service and good food!“

“Romantic hidden wine and sardine bar with really great charcuterie tapas style food and chill vibes. Bread, cheese, and so many choices of tinned seafood. The seafood pates are unique and very tasty with fresh bread and butter. It’s our second time going there and we will go back again.“

“thank you for an amazing lunch.! Much success in the New Year.“

“Great wine, fun staff, love it here!!!“

“Totally unexpected find in generally sleepy Montrose! Delighted we found Backbone after living here for 15 years and missing having an elevated meal close by. We shared one appetizer (corn agnolotti) and two entrees (NY strip and ribeye, tai snapper) and all of the food was delicious. The corn agnolotti was al dente and a mix of sweet (corn) and buttery and lemony (sauce). Both the steak and ribeye were tender and flavorful, and the snapper was moist and served with a delightful charred kale. Ask for bread to sop up the agnolotti sauce! Staff was friendly and helpful, we really enjoyed our meal!“

“Sawa is easily a top-10 restaurant in my opinion. The chef deserves a star. The entire experience went beyond my expectations, truly outstanding. I had so much fun dining there; the environment is friendly, and every bite was delicious. The host was spectacular, especially for suggesting we split the sake pairing, for someone who doesn’t drink much, it was more than enough. I’m already looking forward to coming back.“

“Entre Nous never disappoints. Co-owner Mathias is a most gracious host who ensures service is attentive and will help you select the ideal wine to complement your meal. Co-owner & chef JC runs a tight kitchen. Every plate is expertly prepared and arrives at your table as the chef intended.
The menu leans heavily on the owner's French background and is the closest thing to a true French bistro that you'll find in LA. Ingredients are of highest quality. Mussels are plump, beef (bœuf) is nicely marbled and flavorful, and the duck confit equally flavorful without be dry. Frites (fries) are the best I've had outside of Paris. They're perfectly seasoned and will arrive piping hot. Lastly, end your meal with the profiterole. Delicious.
The outdoor patio is cozy and wonderful even on a cool night.
Do yourself a favor and make a reservation today.“

“Fabulous for Happy hour and Dinner! Love the wine selections“

“Garson de Cafe is very Chic . Beautiful decor and fantastic customer service. I highly recommend this place to everyone.“

“Once we were seated, I immediately noticed the incredible atmosphere of the restaurant. People were lively, chatting with each other and enjoying a good time. It was a happy sight to see.

The staff were passionate, and it genuinely seemed like they wanted to be there.

We ordered the lamb ragu, squid ink pasta, a side of broccolini, and the veal dish. Originally, we were only going to order the pasta and veal, but we found ourselves craving more food because of how delicious everything was. Not only did it taste amazing, but it also felt homemade, and the ingredients were extremely fresh.

I loved how both pastas had their own unique tomato flavors. The mashed potatoes served with the veal were incredibly creamy without being overwhelmingly buttery. The veal itself was extremely tender.

Loved the food here, 10/10. The portions were generous as well and well worth the price.“

“Great food and awesome service. Definitely a must dine!“

“Stopped by The Airliner and had a really good experience. The food and drinks were fresh, flavorful, and nicely presented, making for an enjoyable visit.

The place has a relaxed, modern atmosphere that works well for both a casual meal and a coffee break. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Great spot to unwind and enjoy good food 👍“

“This cozy little place had such a great vibe, and the food completely won us over. Every dish was packed with flavor, and the cocktails were creative, fun, and seriously delicious. It was one of those meals where everything just came together perfectly. Already telling friends they need to check this spot out because it's the kind of place you'll want to visit again and again.“

“Had to stop by my favorite Italian grubbin in the heart of Old Town Pasadena all the way from Boise. This was my 3rd time and each time just keeps getting better; definitely the bigger the party, the better. We paid $225 for 4 pasta entrees, 3 appetizers, & 2 glasses of wine for a party of 6. I’ve learned to like my pastas al dente after having them here. The meatballs are banging, the wine-pairing was delightful. Our service was attentive and pleasant; the vibe is always vibrant and homey. Highly recommended.“

“our server was so kind and helpful, recommended some super yummy wines (sparkling rose was excellent). we didn’t realize this restaurant/bakery were fully vegan and mostly gluten free, but it was such a fantastic surprise for my boyfriend and I, who are gluten and dairy free, respectively. the cheese board was delicious, fantastic quality, really a must for any dairy free cheese lover. we also got some eclairs, which are gluten free) and were amazing. we also had 2 fruit and custard tarts given to us as samples, and they were the most delicious thing i ate all day.“

“Great food! Excellent service! 😍“

“Literature and Libations what more needs to be said.“

“🐅🐅🐅🐅 yum yummy.. crying tiger so good“

“This place is so delightful and rarely crowded. Great atmosphere. One of the only places that is family friendly with live music, usually jazz or classical guitar, always at a pleasant volume. Lots of nice little touches - games, books, art, free popcorn, etc. Love it here!“

“Eclectic but elegant setting with an excellent curated wine offering and one of the finest reserve lists anywhere. The charcuterie sections are also first class. A stylish and sophisticated night out.“

“Stopped by homage in a successor of breweries visited last night. The beer was delicious“

“Great place to enjoy great company and good wine 🍷“

“很差，炸到燶的雞翼。“

“One of the best I’ve had “out” in a very long time.“

“I had a fantastic experience at Henry Parsons Project! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, the service was friendly and attentive, and everything felt thoughtfully put together. The food was delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. A great spot for a relaxing meal, and I’d definitely come back again!“

“What a find!. I mean it was my birthday so we searched for something that tickled my requirements in the area we were staying. Such a warm and welcoming reception. The thing is I messaged a week ago on Insta and they held my spot. When we arrived we were treated like royalty .Food and wine was amazingly accompanied with great hospitality. We arrived at 1930 left at 2330.
This is an amazing place. X“

“Get your ex lover back today“

“I came at 5:30pm on a Sunday and it wasn't very crowded which allowed me to easily get a seat. The atmosphere is the typical cafe vibe with k-r&b and lofi in the background and natural lighting, and the decor theme is cozy pastel blue + chrome. I tried this place because of the ATEEZ drink collab event and ordered the Mushroom Cream Baguette Sandwich, Spinach and Feta Pocket, and the Sweet Mamacita drink. They were all delicious, especially the Spinach and Feta Pocket which was very crispy! I wish I could buy more of these if the prices weren't as steep, but I understand that these may be typical L.A. prices. They were also filling, considering the decently small portion sizes, as I managed to get through the Spinach and Feta Pocket and my drink before I was full. I would recommend all of these items and dining in besides doing takeout like I did. It's overall a nice study spot with great snacks, and I'd come all the way out here just to try more items or just get the same ones I ordered!“

“We love the ambience at gra. And I’m so happy to see more restaurants coming into the many vacant storefronts in this neighborhood. Gra has an incredible vibe. Wonderful service and unbelievably great music. We do wish for two things though. We love traditional full-bodied reds by the glass. They are hard to come by. We also love fresh vegetables, and as much as we love the fermented veggies we’d love to mix it up with more variety. Looking forward to becoming loyal, patrons and exploring this restaurant more.“

“I don’t know why it took me 6 years to write this review… but Hermosillo really is hermoso/beautiful. I love this place. I go so often they already know my order before I even say it. That alone says everything. The service is always great, the vibe is perfect, and the food never misses. The ceviche with a golden pils is honestly all you need to be happy once… or 2 or 3 times a week 😂

Only funny thing is when the new bartender asks me for my ID every other day and I’m like “y’all are about 6 years too late asking me now” lol.

But seriously, this spot feels like home. Great people, great drinks, great food. One of my favorite place ever.“

“Excellent coffee and food. A really welcoming atmosphere too!“

“Located at the City National Plaza, about 2 blocks away from the Westin Bonaventure Hotel.

Long line, expensive, and not so great service, but they make some amazing coffee. $6.00 for a vegan donut, $4.25 for an iced americano, and $2.50 to add cloud foam.

Parking is difficult around this area.“

“A cozy place for wine lovers. Here, you can enjoy a wide selection of wines from different countries. If you are not familiar with wines, the owner will be happy to provide expert and friendly advice. You can also indulge yourself with delicious delicacies and enjoy a truly pleasant experience.“

“This is definitely my favorite restaurant in Little Tokyo. My best tip is to go at open for dinner when they are not as busy so you can fully enjoy yourself.

I've been coming here for years ever since my friend had her birthday celebration here, which in itself was a very lovely evening. The staff was so sweet and stored her birthday cake in the fridge while we ate and then brought it out for us lit and even provided a cake cutter.

If you have a child, they do have booster seats and a kid friendly dish set for your child to use.

The staff is very attentive and sweet. They check in on you and are very patient with any requests or questions you may have.

My best recommendations for food are the Honey Tofu cheese, the seared duck chashu, the beef tongue tataki, the Today's Fish Carpaccio, and the Japanese omelet. All of these dishes are part of my usual go to order and what makes me bring all my friends over to try it. I usually spend about $30 for three dishes which is worth the price point for the amazing food quality. I genuinely have never had a bad experience or food I didnt love in my 5 years of eating here.“

“Love it here. I go here often… Food is great. And stuff is amazing!!“

“This place is narrow but an absolute gem of a place for live fairly intimate music performances. The sound system is great, the service even better, and the crowd very fun. It's also incredibly convenient to get to via train from Union Station so you really kinda have zero excuse if you get a DUI.

Not sure how the table situation works but I'm assuming you have to get there early to score one or at the bar. Otherwise it's standing room only with a few loose stools toward the rear atrium section.

The only true but minor inconvenience is the having to swipe/pay for every drink purchase. I get the why but the service and drink options make up for it.“

“Terrific staff and innovative cuisine. Small local restaurant who worked hard to keep staff through the pandemic closures with delicious creative take out and who are keeping everyone safe by requiring proof of vaccination for indoor dining. Fresh creative food.“

“They serve a curated selection of interesting wines and beers in a refreshingly unpretentious neighborhood spot. The staff are genuine, helpful with samples and recs, and know how to put together a playlist. Great stuff.

The low reviews show exactly what kind of entitled behaviors are not tolerated here.“

“1 of my favorite places to eat in Silverlake, I’ve tried almost everything they have and I highly recommend“

“Holy Saints! was a fantastic experience! The atmosphere was welcoming, the food was delicious and flavorful, and the service was friendly and attentive. Everything came together perfectly for a memorable visit. I really enjoyed my time here and would definitely come back again. Highly recommended!“

“Our meal was delicious and the service was amazing“

“This is an incredible place to grab tacos! We went here on taco Tuesday night and sampled a lot of different tacos throughout the evening. Great drinks and food! But what really stood out was the awesome service. There weren’t a lot of people working there, but all of them were hustling and making sure you are well taken care of. This is a great place to grab delicious tacos and drinks!“
