50 Best Wine Bars near Hollywood

“A wonderful classic Hollywood space, updated but true to its origins. I figured the food should be pretty good. Wrong! The food was really really excellent!!! A remarkably richly flavored duck breast, among the tenderest I’ve ever had. I had duck breast the next day at a Michelin-starred restaurant a mile or so to the south, and this was better. Yes, I like duck. Creative and beautifully prepared appetizers. Friendly and natural service.
Another well-known and excellent LA chef had this space for a while, and I’m amazed that the this new restaurant and new chef are appreciably better.“

“Farmhouse kitchen is the best Thai restaurant I’ve ever had. On top of the food being great and delicious, the presentation makes you want to order everything from the menu. Chef Bo was so nice to come out to our table and all I can say is she was a very nice, young & talented person. She even made me a special dessert for my birthday. Thanks Bo❤️ I highly recommend this place if you want an authentic, excellent and delicious food. In addition, the place is so full of life. The decor is amazing! I can’t wait to go back and try some of the fancy drinks and dishes on the menu.“

“I looooooove this place so much. They play the absolute grooviest music/best DJ (please add a dance floor 😭🙏🏾) and amazing service!! Great vibes all around. Great to stop at for a drink and vibe.

Such a sweet corner gem, great place to stop by on a Saturday night.“

“The food is phenomenal!! Everything is amazing“

“Excellent brunch food and drinks, lovely atmosphere. Chilaquiles, shakshouka and pain au chocolat were delicious. Cannot wait to go back to the patio for dinner!“

“Our waitress was so helpful, friendly, intuitive and just cool! The food was too good.. like... “need to eat and chill here more so we can try everything” kind of good. The atmosphere was ROMANTIC. Like, modern yet timeless romantic. I felt like I was in a French dream. Best date night place in LA. For sure.“

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

“I come here about monthly with friends to catch up. We love the Monday deal and it's such a cozy spot inside and also a great place to sunbathe over a chilled red when the weather is nice. Love the service as well! Wish they just had a homemade veggie burger option. ??“

“Stunning bar, perfect atmosphere!!!!!

I was SO SAD I was not able to stay due to a long drive and only was able to stop by for a cold brew coffee. They closed at 2 am though so I was so grateful they even served me at I think 10 min till close!

If I go back to LA some day, I WILL be visiting this bar! And not 1-10 min before they close!!

“Wife and I swung by for a work session. Staff was super friendly and the food was on point. Good non alcoholic options are available and the bathroom is gender neutral. There's a wall of post-its folks have left and the level of trans positivity and sapphic joy on those notes gave me all the feels. Can't wait to go again!“

“Such a great spot. Cozy and fun with tons of interesting fish, meat & cheeses to try. But what stood out above everything else was how helpful and nice the staff was. Tin Tin picked some great dishes for us and was super friendly. We can't wait to come back!“

“Good wine, cheese, and ambience.“

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

“The food was great. My gf had sea bass for her main. And they were able to modify some items for me as I am vegan. Very fancy wine selection at a very reasonable price. Fresh organic produce & biodynamic wines. Friendly staff! Get reservations ahead of times as it gets busy! Beautiful space, will be back.

Vegetarian options: They were able to modify things to make them

“Augustine has become of our favorite local spots. The atmosphere is dark and moody in a fun way. The wine selection is expansive and the food is great as well. The by the glass markup is a little aggressive if you are looking to just go and sample a bunch but they do offer uncommon vintages so it's worth it. They offer a good balance of California and old world European wines.Service is decent, you order at the counter but they do have table service and bussing. Valet and street parking available. Definitely recommend it if you are in the area and enjoy wine.“

“We enjoyed everything about our meal from start to finish.“

“Great night for Luke’s 50th Birthday!!“

“Great food and a great bartender“

“Had the pleasure of attending an event at this fine establishment. The location was bright, well kept and had the right vibes for a good night.

The grilled cheese was a nice little delicious treat.

I'll definitely be going back.“

“We are big time San Simeon Syrah fans so we when found out that they had a tasting room we booked reservations and were there a week later. When booking reservations they had many times open I was able to book whatever time I wanted. Maybe this is a restaurant mistake because when we arrived 10min before our reservation time we had to wait an extra 40min before we were seated. The host was never present at the host stand but always near the bar by the servers. When I asked her what happened she said her computer wasn’t working. So did you just forget about us? Other than that everything was great. Service was good. Food was good. Misters in the hot sun were good.
Wine was great“

“Great service, tasty food, and amazing views. Good brunch spot.“

“Extensive wine list, great food, chill atmosphere and friendly service. Love it!“

“Great atmosphere and wine list. However many of the dishes were a bit over rich/ light on flavor. And look, I know, don’t go to a fancy wine bar expecting value, but the price of many of the simple dishes (salads, simple pastas without meat) were above normal even for LA. Service was friendly but slow“

“Me encanta el piano 🎹 es lo máximo.“

“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.“

“Great wines, tasty food, and friendly staff!“

“So good!!! Amazing. Love the food. The bok choy pot stickers OOOF! The best. 💜💜💜👑👑👑🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🕺🏽🕺🏽🕺🏽🕺🏽💞💞💞💝💝👨‍❤️‍👨🧡“

“Super cool 😎 Great place for drinks with friends, cool vibe and crowd“

“Fancy restaurant with extremely courteous, personable and friendly service, who informed us about the levels of spiciness. We really enjoyed the meal and the starter salad was extremely delicious and spicy, despite the fact that we got the “not spicy” version. The large main courses (Pad Thai and drunken noodles with pastrami) were unbeatably fresh and delicious. It is very crowded and too loud and shrill inside for our taste, but you can sit comfortably and quietly outside in the evening! Absolute recommendation!

Vegetarian options: There are vegetarian options.

Dietary restrictions: Some dishes are labeled as gluten-free but are not celiac disease-compliant.“

“Excellent choices. Just had meze and small plates - the crispy mushrooms were unbelievable - were enough for us. ❤️“

“Great food, great atmosphere, great host, great hospitality, great presentation 💯“

“The wine bar you wish you could stumble upon every night! Great Persian food- you can tell they use fresh farmers market produce. And arguably the best natural wine list in town. This spot is a real gem. Get the Nazkhatoun (eggplant dip) w/ feta, Ghormeh Sabzi or the Fesenjan - both delicious stews. And their tarts for dessert are excellent.

Vegetarian options: Nazkhatoun (eggplant dip) w/ feta, Ghormeh Sabzi, shallot dip, Shirazi salad (cherry tomatoes and cucumber), cucumber dip

Parking: Their parking lot is just south of the restaurant on the corner of Virgil and Melrose“

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

“The wine and food. Great service and very friendly“

“City of Vernon Firefighters are rock stars!!“

“Everything coming out of the kitchen looked delicious. The linguini de mare was phenomenal and... arancini! I thought I'd never eat them again once I gave up dairy. I'm over the moon!“

“Great spot to have a relaxed drink with tasty light bites in a great atmosphere.Service is always great with good knowledge of the wines (natural) being poured. Love that they encourage a taste of the wine and have gotten great recommendations and being able to buy the bottle of what you’ve been drinking is an extra bonus.One small but important aspect for me is the music selection. Each time there has felt uplifted with the music choice perfectly matching the vibe of the crowd/evening!As someone starting to venture out more alone, I’ve felt very comfortable here with just myself, a couple glasses of wine and a book!“

“Wow! One of the best hidden gems in DTLA. The food was phenomenal! The baguette alone was worth the trip. And the pasta rescued me from a deep post-election funk. And it wasn't terribly expensive either. I felt like I was on the set of Sex and the City, circa 1999, with Portishead bumping in the background. I wanted a Cosmo and a cigarette. Badly. It was giving the best NYC feels. And I loved it! Shoutout to Christopher for welcoming us!“

“Hidden gem. Fabulous chef, different but delicious choice of wines. Cozy and warm outdoor patio.

Vegetarian options: Call ahead for this week's menu and let the host Dylan, know your restrictions.

Wheelchair accessibility: Both back patio and street entry wheel chair friendly. Seating accommodates wheelchair.“

“Great little wine bar/restaurant on York Street in Highland Park. The wine selection is fantastic and the food is also quite good. My partner and I are plant-based and there were a few good options to pair with the wine they offer. The atmosphere is very cool and relaxing and the service is excellent. Highly recommend and will be back!“

“Sitting on the long table, celebrating life with family and friends new and old. Was all the more delicious with the dishes that kept coming out. I didn't take many photos as I was too busy savouring the taste of EVERY dish! If you get an opportunity to visit Butchr Bar, please do! My favourites, and it's hard to pick a favourite. The Tomahawk (shared with others), the beef tartare and the sliced cooked beef of deliciousness!
I am so glad I had a chance to enjoy BB before heading back to Australia. Thanks for having me guys!“

“We've been attending a handful of concerts at Hollywood Bowl this year. We loved Fattoush Salad (different recipe from how our family makes Fattoush Salad) but was delicious! The Lamb Chops were OK, but Spanish Fried Chicken was just fried, you can't taste or see any chicken meat inside. I have a feeling all vegie dishes here might be delicious, but not the ones with any meat. Service and atmosphere were amazing! We will go back to try different dishes, but for sure to have the Fattoush Salad.“

“My friend and I had an exquisite dining experience at Bar Sawa. Each course was prepared and presented to perfection. The place was a little tricky to find; there were no signs, and it was in the basement of a very unexpected building. You can also only get down there through the middle elevator! The instructions to get to the restaurant were emailed, but I didn't get to read it in time, so it was my fault. ? We thoroughly enjoyed our meal, ambiance and the entire experience. Highly recommend!“

“Love Claudio & the team here. They are so welcoming and have the best Happy Hour in the Arts District!

We hosted our Baby Shower here and they were so accommodating. It's a great location for a private party or a large group. Definitely recommend!

They do validate for parking - pull into the Aliso building lot by Arrowhead Brewery.

Try the squash blossoms, Lambrusco & spicy calabrese pizza. Everything is so yummy.

Highly recommend a reservation on the weekends - they get busy!

“This is such an awesome spot to meet friends or work colleagues, and to stock your wine cooler! Be sure to get empanadas and salad from Puerto Rican Eats.The inside is lively, but mid-century modern cool. There’s also patio and sidewalk seating. Hannah and Ariel will help you find what suits your palate (and they also play great tunes). If Doug the owner is in, you’re in for a treat!“

“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.”“

“Food, wine, service and vibes were exceptional! We made resys for a wine night and the outdoor seating was cozy, with a heated lamp keeping us warm. Our server was sweet and helped us sample some wines - we chose an orange wine and sparkling wine which both paired perfectly with the food.

For food, highly rec the mentaiko spaghetti, fries with yuzu aoili, chicken wings, and citrus salad! Dessert is a must - loveee the hojicha tres leches and black sesame rice krispy.

Portions are small, but perf for sharing with friends and wine selection is lovely.“

“Angelini Osteria totally lived up to the hype! We had a great dinner there that night and I can't wait to go back again soon. Let's start with the star of this show: uni pasta. Oh my gosh, it was divine! The uni was so fresh and creamy and the pasta itself was cooked just right. Every bite was an explosion of flavor. We also tried the baked lasagna and it was delightful. The layers were perfectly balanced and each bite was full of rich, savory flavors. Let's not forget dessert! We shared a few different things and they were all great. The tiramisu was fluffy and decadent and the chocolate mousse was rich and smooth. Overall, Angelini Osteria is definitely a must-try for Italian food lovers in Los Angeles. The food is incredible, the service is friendly, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. We can't wait to come back and try more dishes on the menu!“

“I just want to say how much I love coming to Dargenzio Winery. The owner and his staff are always very welcoming. The food is excellent. I love the ravioli and pizza. Filippo, the owner knows his Italian wines very well and does an excellent job with the pairing of the wines with the food, so definitely ask for him and ask him to do that for you.Dargenzio Winery also has a good amount of outdoor space, which is a plus in these times. I definitely recommend you to make reservations and go there. Tell him Eddie said hi and referred you.“

“OMG!! we came here before the Angus and Julia Stone concert (around the corner from the Orpheum Theatre) the last Saturday in June and what a cozy little joint this place is! We sat at the bar

Service was spot on, my wine was delicious (a Chenin Blanc) and the Bolognese Pappardelle was mouthwateringly good! The wine list consist of natural wines. Such a chill vibe in here but we were early in our reservations so keeping that in mind I'd say it might get busier the later the hour. Also be aware they do NOT take cash for payment of your meal. They do, of course for tips just not for the meal.

Not a lot of room in here so don't come with the thought of a romantic dinner for two where you can whisper sweet-nothings to one another without someone else overhearing hahaha.

Parking lot was well lit behind the building, it is shared with the Theater.
