50 Best Wine Bars near Manhattan Beach

“Barsha is the perfect place to enjoy wine in South bay. The wine selection is unique and reasonably priced, and the staff is exceptional. We had a cheese board with a variety of dips and baguette, all of which paired perfectly with the wine.“

“Lovely and quaint little spot. The wine selection is excellent. Service was fantastic. Will definitely be returning.“

“Stopped by Un Caffé Altamura for breakfast and had such a great experience. I walked there, so I can’t speak to the parking, but I was seated right away. The coffee was delicious, breakfast hit the spot, and I treated myself to a mimosa—worth it! It’s a super cute spot just a block from the pier. Highly recommend if you’re in the area and looking for a cozy, satisfying start to your day.“

“During my stay at the Belamar Hotel, I had a wonderful experience at the restaurant on the second floor. Before I checked in, I needed a place to work remotely, and the staff went above and beyond to help me connect to the Wi-Fi. They were incredibly attentive, making sure my coffee cup was always full. I ordered waffles and eggs—both were delicious, though I only managed to snap a photo of the waffles! A unique touch was the check, which is presented inside a book where guests are encouraged to leave a note. Overall, it’s a charming spot for both work and a great meal.“

“Warm, hands on and personalized service. A Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurant…Food Made from Scratch, fresh, unique, different, and affordable. Highly recommended! The red onion focaccia bread with herb and Parmesan butter, added Burrata - best- seller, a must. The 3 day brined smoked fried chicken-different taste, with soy and Chiles, a must!!!The Peruvian pork belly with sweet potato , Criolla and crispy quinoa , love it! And the Grilled NY steak with green garlic chimichurri, chorizo aioli and pommes pont neuf, thick cut fries…my son prefers over the fried chicken.“

“Delicious food and drinks“

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

“Bodega Wine Bar has truly become my third place since moving here. Whether it’s daytime coffee or wine bar evenings, the staff consistently go out of their way to make it a welcoming, comfortable spot. Kelsey and Zack in particular stand out — they bring not just professionalism and great service, but a genuine warmth that makes every visit feel personal.

Here’s a little secret: underneath the excellent customer service, they’re just genuinely kind and caring people. That says a lot about a place, and it’s why Bodega isn’t just another bar or café — it’s a community. On top of that, it’s hands down the best coworking space I’ve ever had. I can’t recommend it enough.“

“Really nice place in Santa Monica. The duck breast, roasted cauliflower and yellowtail crudo were excellent. Gracious table staff provided outstanding service. The hostess even chased us down and ran across the street to hand my wife the purse she forgot at our table.“

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

“Great out of the ordinary wine choices!“

“Great atmosphere friendly staff and amazing food 😎“

“Amazing food and great place to people watch while looking at the boats in the harbor.“

“We had such a blast tonight at the show! We had great laughs and the show was perfect and full of magic! Fun for all ages! Totally recommend catching a show and a drink! Love love love!!!“

“First time here, great little wine bar located in Redondo Beach. Walked in on a Saturday night and sat down on the comfortable sofas they had near the enterance.

Nice array of wines, the server was friendly and helpful and we took her recommendations. Ordered a bottle of wine to share instead of by the glass since we had a lot of time for convo, small corkage fee applied but was worth it.

Place was quiet when we arrived but soon got crowded so the noise level went up but wasnt a problem.... Fyi. Most of the customers were regulars and I could see why this is a great spot to be on the weekends👍

Ordered a small charcuterie board also that was more than adequate, a great place to unwind and relax after a long day🤙Highly recommend... 5 stars.“

“Been here now 4 times and it keeps impressing me. The food quality and flavours are SO good, and the wine choices are great, haven’t gotten a bad one yet. The ambiance is a key element too, making it feels like home/community (the name ‘Companion’ is the right one!) with the LP player, the massive bookshelf, the wooden elements and the tables setup. It’s a favourite for us, where we always bring out friend and family visiting us. Love it’s in our neighbourhood!“

“The food and ambience & wine selection was excellent! We will be back!“

“When going to 401K it is not only having wonderful food & wine, but enjoying the experience it presents. We have been to 401K often and it never fails to leave us very satisfied from beginning to end. If you ask yourself would you come back? It would be a sounding YES!“

“Our server Sean was amazing!“

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

“The Fig Restaurant is located in the Fairmont Hotel. The service was excellent, the food outstanding. The overall atmosphere was lovely. My photo is of the beautiful fig tree that stands at the hotel entrance. That alone is worth a visit for some :) We’ll be happy to come back.“

“11/10 experience at Juliet! The food was absolutely perfect and staff was lovely! Our server, Hannah was instrumental in helping me pick the right wine. The food was beautifully prepared and the atmosphere was perfect for date night. Highly recommend!“

“food and drinks were so good!“

“Great wine different flights to sample. You can even buy bottles“

“I stumbled upon Coucou on Resy and decided to check it out for happy hour and I’m so glad I did. I went with a friend who’s a chef (I’m a foodie myself), and we were both blown away. The apps and drinks were outstanding, with flavors and presentation that went far beyond what you typically expect at happy hour.

The happy hour menu is easily one of the best I’ve seen in a long time. For $33, you get three items, which is a fantastic deal. Portions are generous too, they definitely don’t skimp on the apps, making it perfect for two people to share.

Overall, top-notch food, great drinks, and unbeatable value. I’ll definitely be back!“

“If you’re reading this, here’s the short version: this is easily one of the best restaurants in Culver City, and you need to try it now!

It’s a small spot in downtown Culver City that you could walk past without noticing. I’m glad I didn’t. There are a couple of tables outside, but most of the seating is indoors. The space is modern, clean, and relaxing.

We ordered three dishes, all recommended by our waiter. The mussel toast is a must. Every bite is savory and packed with seafood flavor. For mains, we had the short rib and rainbow trout. The short rib was perfection. Cooked over fire and served with crispy potato strings. It’s something you get at high-end steakhouse but at half the price. The rainbow trout looked beautiful and tasted fresh, though the citrus was a bit stronger than I prefer.

For dessert, we couldn’t resist the churro and ice cream sandwich. The ice cream (another must try), sourced from a Persian maker, was rich with rose, honey, and pistachio. The presentation was just as impressive. The churros were decent, though I wished they were crispier and the dipping sauce was thicker.

Overall, I’d give this place a solid five stars. The food is close to Michelin quality without the Michelin prices. Go and you won’t be disappointed.“

“Love this treasure in the heart of Mar Vista.“

“Happy New Year Y’all!!🥂✨🤘🏼🥳 As many of you know I’ve been playing piano and singing at Casa Ado in Venice for the last 3.5 years, for a total of 700+ shows. There have been two paintings with me in them, a painted recording of this era of my life! It is unclear what will be happening with the restaurant going forward, as there may be some ownership change. Everyone is sort of holding their breath, and for now, music has not been included in January of 2020. There is talk it could go either way in Feb. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Thank you all who have come and supported me these past few years on Washington Square and I will keep everyone posted as to what settles out in the next bit of time. For now, I am looking at all the possibilities and have some cool projects lined up on the horizon. Add me as a friend, Stay in touch, and wishing you all the best decade yet! 🥂✨🥳🤘🏼 Love, Mike 🎹🎤❤️“

“If I could leave 10 stars, I would.

My stomach hurt last night but I didn't want to give up the res. We went and asked if they had any soup or anything simple...the chef made us soup from scratch. Didn't take long. The attention to detail and care for customers has been unmatched by any other LA restaurant. period.“

“Amazing staff, fantastic food, great atmosphere. 10 out of 10 for me!“

“10/10 Recommend. When I’m in the area, I always gravitate to this spot. I love everything on the menu.“

“I LOVE the burgers and tater tots here! I’ve been following them for several location moves and always recommend it anyone. Super delicious and my favorite cheat meal!“

“Loved this restaurant! Everything was delicious and very authentic. Among our favorites were the brioche with anchovies, cod fritters, pan con tomate, patas braves, and tortilla espanola (the best ever, including in Spain). Everything we ordered was amazing. The chocolate dessert was amazing, almost a truffle pudding. Our wonderful server guided us through the menu perfectly. I can't recommend this restaurant enough. We will come back frequently.“

“Absolutely loved this place! We ordered the branzino, Cottage Cheese Pancakes, and the crab omelet — everything was truly outstanding. You can taste the quality and freshness in every bite.

And I have to highlight their cappuccino — incredibly smooth, not over-steamed, not boiled, just perfectly balanced. One sip and you fall in love instantly!

The service was exceptional — friendly, attentive, and very professional. Everything felt top-tier.

If you go, you must try their flatbread with your meal — highly recommend it. Overall, a fantastic dining experience. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Loved Vincent and my amazing cup of coffee.“

“Súper comida de buena calidad Servicio explendido“

“Excellent service and Food. It was Dine LA so we ordered that menu and the food was coursed out. Absolutely superb! What a great way to sample the chef’s specialties. Our waiter was the best!!!! Looking forward to dining again.“

“This pizza is awesome!! The best pizza our family has had in years. The service is also first class Thank you so much!!!!“

“I stopped by HiHo Cheeseburger in Marina del Rey around 3 p.m. on a Saturday, that magical hour when parking is neither impossible nor easy. The restaurant shares a gated lot with REI, which kindly validates two hours.

Inside, the vibe was steady but calm. I ordered the HiHo Double and fries, which arrived in a leisurely fifteen minutes, a dignified wait for 100% grass-fed, grass-finished Wagyu. The burger, though smaller than an In-N-Out Double-Double, was excellent: melty cheese, slow-cooked onions, and crisp lettuce. The fries were fine, but McDonald’s and the BK Lounge can rest easy.

At $10.45, HiHo is in a higher price category than In-N-Out and Shakeshack, but of comparable quality of taste. Worth a visit, but not at the top of my LA/OC burger rotation.

Still a solid 4 stars“

“I had an amazing experience at Venice Beach Wines! From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel so welcome. The staff was friendly, attentive, and you could tell they really love what they do.

We ordered a charcuterie board, cheesy stuffed peppers, hanger steak, and the VBW salad — everything was absolutely delicious. The flavors were on point, and you can tell they use really high-quality ingredients and put a lot of care into each dish.

We went with two bottles of Topette Sauvignon Blanc, which paired great with the food and made the whole night even better. The vibe inside was exactly what you want in a wine bar: cozy, laid-back, and stylish, with amazing energy.

Big thanks to the owner and the whole team for making it such a memorable night. Whether you’re out for a date night, hanging with friends, or just looking to enjoy great food and wine, Venice Beach Wines is a spot you absolutely need to check out!“

“We are from denver and go to breweries new to us frequently. We tried 10 beer with the flights and loved all 10. That’s never happened before. Only complaint is that I wanted a rad sweatshirt you had but it was only in size s and 3X. Good thing you had 20+ other options in our size and we each got a way super cooler then average brewery tee shirt. You guys ate top notch. Hoping I can find the 805 here in denver. I know we have had the squeeze here prior to coming. We got to have two for squeezes on tap before we in Marina Del Ray“

“Good food, great atmosphere,friendly and fast service,I recommend to everyone,👍🏼“

“Wonderful food and staff!!!“

“The Georgian Hotel lobby hosts the best bar that last minute desert or after dinner cocktail after a birthday meal. The door staff is fun and well cast for high energy and upbeat customer service. The chocolate sufleè is a must and the ambiance is classic with a touch of seaside whimsy.“

“Excellent service, amazing lobster 🦞 with crab rice. I just wish I was given the prices before agreeing on the upgrade. I ordered a family for 2 and CJ server offered to make it 3ppl. I was kinda surprised with my bills and how the restaurant dictate the gratuity %….Overall, I love dining in this restaurant because we were welcome and were given a great and warm reception. Thank you to the staff who made us feel special especially to CJ she was amazing. Indeed, the most expensive meal I have eaten lol it’s worth it.“

“Fabulous hyper-farm-to-table food by a creative chef, on Main St in Santa Monica. I’ve tried the Gazpacho, the many Danish Rye toasts with what is fresh that day: eggs, salmon roe, avocado or ....? They also have baristas that make all type of drinks. My fab place to indulge healthy and fresh“

“Best Thai food I’ve ever eaten.“

“Nice place to have a fine dining !!!“

“The server was so Great. He is so respectful, attentive and helpful. He gives suggestions of what I will order being my first time in Wadatsumi. Thank you very much for the Awesome service.😊 I'll definitely come back with my friends.💯“

“Great customer service, very good espresso, tasty fresh pastries.“
