Great atmosphere and service
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.

I have been to Bar Bandini a bunch of times when I lived in LA. A number of great, natural wines. A charming location, which is good for a date night. They will occasionally have pop up food venders in the back as well.

Bar Bandini is a cozy wine bar known for its excellent selection of natural wines. The bar has a laidback vibe and offers great prices, especially during happy hour. They host stand-up comedy nights on Wednesdays, providing an entertaining twist to the wine experience. While the staff may not be experts on the wines, they allow customers to taste before committing to a full glass.
The atmosphere at Bar Bandini is excellent for catching up with friends over a glass of wine, although some customers find the decor a bit dingier than expected. The bar has a small outdoor area, and the indoor space can get quite packed, especially on busier nights. Customers praise the welcoming and fun ambiance, with the music and conversation levels creating a lively yet comfortable setting.
The wine selection at Bar Bandini is diverse, with a focus on natural and unique offerings, including orange wines. Prices are reasonable, and the pours are generous. Some customers, however, feel that the wines by the glass could be a bit more elevated for a wine bar.
Overall, Bar Bandini is recommended for its excellent natural wine selection and the cool, relaxed atmosphere it offers for a night out.
