37 Best Wine Bars near Imperial Beach

“I ate here in March of 2024 and I have not stopped thinking about the meal. I am not exaggerating when I said it reminded me of my Italian grandfathers cooking. I had the chicken parm, soupa, a side salad, and a side of sausage. I did not expect this quality or flavor from Imperial Beach and I am happy to admit that I was wrong for my expectations. The food is perfect, the atmosphere devine, the crew working there were so welcoming and outgoing. This is a place that deserves your business. I can't wait to go back. To the owner, chef, and crew, thank you very much.“

“We’re frequent patrons of Postino Wine Cafe on South Broadway, San Antonio, TX. Love the ambiance, food, wine & service. Last night we experienced them at their finest! Ray & Mark went above and beyond in making our daughter-in-laws 50th birthday celebration special. The 50th balloons, cake accessories, & gift card were unexpected & appreciated. This is a place to go for a special celebration! Chef Joseph prepared a variety of delicious boards & more. They truly give top notch attention to detail & service. Highly recommend!“

“Friendly quant restaurant a real deal neighborhood restaurant, chef comes out and talks to you real casual neighborhood vibes good food good wine what more can you want, there may be a wait for a table because it’s a pleasure to eat there :)“

“If you are looking for a true Italian experience in San Diego, look no further than Vinarius! We worked with Giuseppe (owner) to host our wedding celebration here back in March, 2023. From the beginning, he was amazing to work with. Incredibly positive and accommodating from the start, we couldn’t have asked for more. The wedding ceremony was planned to be outside and of course, it rained that day. Guiseppe and his staff went above and beyond to accommodate us, allowed us to have the small ceremony inside the restaurant on short notice and made an incredible meal to follow. Our guests were blown away and we couldn’t have been happier. We recommend Vinarius to everyone we know and that is thanks to Giuseppe and his awesome staff. Grazie mille!“

“We stopped here just by chance and what a lovely experience we had. The place has a cozy indoor seating area and a delightful patio. Both areas have a nice atmosphere but different. The patio is more casual and relax. They have heaters and blankets for chilly nights and live music on Fridays and Saturdays. The musicians we had were very good: a couple of acoustic guitar players with chill selection of songs. We only had a couple of wine glasses and olives. The wine selection is pretty good, not too big but good variety and quality. Service was nice too, two young ladies very attentive but not intrusive.
A nice detail was the ladies bathroom. It’s so cute, with decoration of flowers and butterflies. A nice touch and I had to take a picture :)“

“They have a white sangria that the wife just LOVES. Have to stop in every once in a while and grab a glass“

“So cozy. Bar staff is so helpful.“

“We absolutely loved our dinner at Monzu in the Gaslamp! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the staff struck the perfect balance of being friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. We started with the tartare di tonno, which was incredibly fresh and flavorful—an excellent beginning to the meal. The housemade focaccia deserves a special mention: airy, perfectly seasoned, and quite possibly the best I’ve ever had. For the main course, I enjoyed the bucatini all’amatriciana. The pasta was clearly house-made, cooked to perfection, and the sauce had that authentic depth of flavor that only true Southern Italian cooking delivers. We finished with an affogato, which was the ideal ending—simple, rich, and satisfying. Monzu offers authentic Southern Italian fare with genuine hospitality, and everything we tried reflected both freshness and craftsmanship. I would 100% return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable Italian dining experience in San Diego.“

“Love love love this place! The decor is super cute, the drinks are affordable and incredibly tasty, plus the staff is super friendly. I like the variety too, from mimosas, to coconut pineapple sparkling wine, to Prosecco like, to super dry. Something for everyone. I'll definitely be back here!“

“I want to express that, while I don’t know the owner personally, I was taken aback by the one-star review. It seems unfair to give a negative rating for simply asking questions. Constructive feedback should be welcomed, not penalized. Everyone deserves the chance to improve without being harshly judged. Additionally, it's worth noting that they aren’t currently open, which may affect their ability to respond or address concerns promptly.“

“LOVE the energy and the beautiful colorful spirits who brought this collective together! Some of the most considerate and dynamic artists I know! Everything revolves around culture, growth, unity, and progress. All of the artists they've brought through their doors, where musicians, artisans, and/ or painters have been amazing.“

“Great wine shop with an impressive and unique selection! They offer wines at a wide range of prices—from affordable options to high-end luxury bottles—so there’s something for everyone. I also loved that you can taste different wines, and they have some snacks to go along with them. It’s a perfect place to chill, and the staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Highly recommended!“

“I loved the Alice in wonderland theme“

“Tap house with friendly and generous owner.
Keeping one of the most Varietal selections in San Diego. From local California and national breweries
Located on 3rd ave filled with eateries. Always a must to stop by and drink dessert.
You know us adults who choose our sweets 😋 😉 😏 😜“

“The food and drinks here are amazing! The service was great too. The staff was super attentive without being overbearing. We were seated right away and offered drinks almost immediately, which I loved. The music and ambiance were on point, definitely a vibe whether you come during the day or at night for dinner. I’d highly recommend checking this place out.“

“The best dining event in a long while. Food is terrific and the beer is literally ice cold. The owner is delightful! Please visit cause it is a treat.“

“2nd visit and again food and service were great. only complaint was they cleared my dessert when I wasn't finished without asking. took that as hint to leave.“

“Long Play HiFi is pure magic. You wait outside until the owner welcomes you in, kind of like a secret show for caffeine heads. Instant VIP energy. Inside it’s warm light, vinyl spinning something you’ve never Shazam’d, and the air smells like perfectly roasted beans.Tokyo ice that hits like a chilled daydream. Heads-up: if you’re in a hurry, skip it. This spot is for people who want to post up, talk, and let the records run.“

“While searching for a place to have dinner off property during our holiday, we came across Jolie online. The reviews were excellent and the dinner and service didn’t disappoint. Owner Molly was welcoming and Jack, our server was wonderful too. We met chefs on vacation who had come twice in a week to eat there too. Don’t walk, run. But get a reservation, seating is limited.“

“This place was definitely a 10/10?✨“

“Amazingly delicious! Can’t wait to go back! From Boston😎“

“Wonderful French bistro with great food“

“Excellent service and attention to detail. French onion soup exceptional as was the wedge salad and flourless chocolate cake. Steaks were very good, not quite the best ever. But worth going to this restaurant while in the Harbor area of San Diego. One miss in our opinion: creamed spinach.“

“Friendly and awesome presentation“

“In traveling around the US and Mexico, there are a few restaurants which stand out as memorable and indelibly so for the delicious food that they create plus in a manner and care that makes the flavors and texture just that much better.

We decided to try here for something different for breakfast add were we definitely pleased!

We started with the guava and cheese gelatte, a pastry that pleasure senses like a soft plushy sledgehammer. WOW!

The Smiley Christo, a tasty breakfast sandwich that I did not want to stop as well as the Mc Muff… that was even better!

All washed down with a Buko Pandan Latte, iced, and a B.S. Palo Santo Latte, hot.

What a great way to start our travels!

I recommend this place and even we make the same route shading someday. We’ll BE BACK!!“

“Great apps and vino. Took my wife for the 1st time.“

“EVERYTHING! Best food and nicest employees in the area.“

“Great food, excellent service, and reasonable prices…the trifecta“

“I went as a solo traveler and sat at the bar. The staff was so sweet and friendly. They cleared extra space for me so I could order food (it is a pretty small bar area and I get the feeling food is not often served there) the house wine and eggplant parm were so good and again the staff were so mind and warm. Will definitely go again ❤️“

“Gran Hotel perfecta ubicación“

“Good food, good wine, amazing staff, nice atmosphere!!! Check it out!“

“We had a reservation and were seated quickly. After waters were poured, we waited 20 minutes with no one coming over to our table to take our drink orders. Finally, I had to ask someone walking by if we had a server. He apologized and sent someone over to take our orders. The service got better but wasn't great. The food and drinks were delicious though. We frequently eat at isola and this was a sub par experience.“
