50 Best Wine Bars near Lemon Grove

“Wonderful place. Wine selection is wide & the staff are top Tier! I Had a small birthday gathering in the patio & it was perfectly set-up & the arrangement of the seating allowed me to see & talk with the guest celebrating with me. We fit 35 comfortably. Shannon is an incredible server & host. Her customer Serivce is unmatched. Thank you for making this day so special.“

“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 :)“

“Bold Bouquet throws the PERFECT events of bouquet making and wine tasting. I’ve been to two and I plan on going to many more! It’s the perfect girls day activity, plus you get to make a stunning bouquet to take home and enjoy for weeks“

“I've been going for about a year now. I have a yoga membership and then join the restaurant probably about once a month or so. I love the yoga classes, there is a great variety with knowledgeable instructors. The food is amazing as well along with it being locally owned. Overall a fantastic addition to Clairemont, highly recommend!“

“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!“

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

“My wife and I went to this cozy place for dinner based on a recommendation. GOOD CALL! Our server was pleasant and checked in on us to make sure we were happy. The food was delivered fast and hot. We shared the 16 oz. T-bone steak. It came out pre cut, ready to share. We also ordered a wonderfully great big salad and a wonderful empanada with beef. The empanada was pleasantly spicy, but not overly. The steak came with lovely potatoes. We also ordered a side of broccolini. I’m not a big veg guy, but I have to say the broccolini was delicious. All said the meal wasn’t the cheapest, but was worth every bite.“

“A must try the fig Flatbread. So good!!!“

“So cozy. Bar staff is so helpful.“

“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 😋 😉 😏 😜“

“Awesome wine bar, food trucks & live music! Highly recommended!“

“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 loved the Alice in wonderland theme“

“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 a ton of wines that you don't find in most liquor stores or grocery stores. You can even pay a reasonable corkage fee and enjoying the wine in side or on their patio. One thing that bugs me though, when purchasing a wine the tip screen prompt defaults to 28%. I'm sorry but that's just a shady and amateursh practice.“

“what a wonderful experience. they are so well cared for. beautiful cats that are so friendly and need so much love very clean and the cats have so much to climb on, play with, see and sleep. the hosts were amazing and even let me stay a bit longer. I had the best time. I'm coming bk!!!!!!“

“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.“

“Very nice environment and outstanding food and entertainment 👌 😀“

“cordialità,buon cibo e ambiente raffinato“

“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.“

“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.“

“Excellent food and the service was splendid.“

“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.“

“Place is fire. So many beers to choose from you don't even know where to start. I'd say ask the bartenders to pick your drinks for you. It's funner that way.“

“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.“

“Can't say enough positive things about Clos! I've been coming to Clos for years--not only do they have an excellent, global selection of wines, but the owners and employees are all fantastic, friendly people that help anchor a sense of community in University Heights. Every wine on offer has been tasted by the team, so they'll be able to give you specific tasting notes and match you with a bottle to your liking. They also offer charcuterie boards, tinned fish, and other snacks, and even opened a basement annex where they sell local artist's crafts along with other quality goods. Would highly recommend their wine club membership, as well--excellent selections every month! Please check them out if you've never been!“

“Todo riquisimo muy amables y atentos“

“The food the service is amazing. VERY bad experience that little Roma restaurant I should’ve known better that there’s no place like Nonna’s.“

“One of my favorite bars in the city! Great cigars, deals on drinks, and a vibe that’s always chill but never boring. Staff makes you feel at home every time. I even love bringing in my board games here it’s the perfect spot to relax, hang with friends, and just enjoy the night. Easily one of my favorite bars in the city.“

“3/5 for a first timer during restaurant week… the special menu was $50 per person…. we never got any bread with our dinner (and didn’t realize we were left out until we were on dessert)… and, portions were small, so the bread would have been nice, especially for $50… also, the server made us make our food order at the same time as our drinks… personally, i like to have a drink or two before i order my food… so, the service was rushed in that sense… and no one asked me if i wanted a second glass of wine i had the veal and my friend had the lobster ravioli… both tasted decently but, again, small portions… the burrata was amazing and the desserts (tiramisu and lava cake) were pleasant i think i’d like to try again on a night that isn’t as busy, and order off of the actual menu“

“Filippi's is a chain of Italian, 'Family-Style' restaurants in the San Diego & Southern CA area.
Everyone I talk to knows them for their delicious pizza - and I agree. Their pizza are cheesy. You don't need to order extra.
This visit was a first to the ElCajon restaurant. I sat in the bar and had great conversations with Norma. She made great drinks too.
I had an order of garlic cheese bread with a warm marinara sauce while I waited for my pizza. It was great! Again, cheesy with a good garlic taste. It was filling too. I could only eat one slice of pizza when it arrived & had to take the rest home.
Stop in and enjoy a great meal. Say HI to Norma for me.“

“The Margarita pizza was the best . Thus far from any pizzaria I’ve had“

“Favorite college neighborhood bar. Their natural wine selection is always on point as well as their beer selection. Food is delicious. I love that they always have seasonal menu items depending on what’s in season. Pool is free, AC kicks butt, and they have a great outdoor space if you ever did have a larger group. Dogs are also allowed which is nice if we ever wanna bring our pup.“

“Absolutely delicious food, friendly staff, and cozy atmosphere! This place is wonderful“

“We love Parma Cucina!! The food is authentic and they treat everyone like family! Bellissimo!🇮🇹❤️“

“the food is SO tasty, welcoming honey atmosphere, wonderful service in an intimate setting.“

“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!!“

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

“Reasonable prices, and generous portions. Dinner come with soup or salad, and the non-pasta entrees come with a side of spaghetti. The lasagna is amazing, and so is the breaded pork chop with mushrooms. Pizzas headed to another table looked nice, and I'll try that some day.
There's an early dinner special with a choice of pasta dishes that's a particularly good value. There's the same special for lunch at an even lower price, plus a 10-inch pizza lunch.
Attractive dining room with booths separated by glass-topped partitions etched with scenes of Italy. There's a good size bar too.
Pleasant, personal service.
Because of parking in front of the restaurant, it's not highly visible from the street.“

“Made reservations to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary and they made it special where everyone acknowledged it and personalized the menu. Our server Brandon was beyond exceptional, his service was outstanding very attentive and professional. Managers also cone to make sure everything is good at the table. The food and drinks never disappointed especially their dessert the bread pudding. San Diego is 2 hours away from us but this Ruth's Chris is worth the drive. It's a must when in San Diego!!! Ask for Brandon.“

“We had my birthday celebration at The Godfather and their private room is ideal for large parties. The food was delicious and the service superb! A huge thank you to Salvatore Ercolano, the new Godfather! He was the perfect host for our event and made sure that everything was perfect!“

“This place was definitely a 10/10?✨“

“The pizza is excellent. Lots of cheese, and you can taste the freshness and feel the crispness of the vegetable toppings. I've not yet tried the other pasta dishes. Where Filippi's went wrong for us was with the service.
We waited, standing, for approximately 20-25 minutes for a table on a Wednesday evening. Apparently they were extremely short staffed. Once we were seated, we promptly gave our order to the gentlemen who seated us. He brought drinks, then maybe 10-15 minutes later brought us the incorrect pizza and left before we could tell him it wasn't what we ordered. We waited another 10 minutes or so for him to come back around and take the pizza away and put in our correct order. I will say that the correct order came up quickly, but by that time we were pretty disappointed with our visit to say the least. I do need to add that the server was extremely apologetic, and brought us antipasto at no charge, however we didn't want it and didn't eat it.
Overall our experience dining in was extremely poor. We're of the opinion that if they were that short staffed they should have closed the dining room for the evening and just concentrated on take out and delivery orders. As such, we will no longer dine in here. If we do order Filippi's again, it will strictly be take out only.“

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

“A neighborhood gem! Owners are wonderful people and have created a place with a lot of heart as well as being one of the best bottle houses in San Diego.“

“This place is a real Gem, excellent coffee, tea & pastries. Cigar friendly, with a nice selection for sale. Even as a tourist you get that local neighborhood vibe and they treat ya like family! Staff was so friendly and hospitable! Loved the decor and atmosphere, this place will definitely be one of my go to stops when we visit again!“

“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.“
