50 Best Wine Bars near Orange

“Great great customer service!“

“Great, fresh assortment of taps. Something for everyone. Excellent grilled cheese.“

“Excellent service, flavorful dish, and an incredible wine selection. The speak easy ambiance adds sophistication. Definitely a spot worth returning too. Cheers!“

“We came here for dinner and liked the intimate, slightly moody atmosphere right away. The menu changes frequently and focuses on seasonal California ingredients, with creative small plates, vegetables, seafood and meat dishes influenced by different cuisines around the world. We ordered several plates to share, which made the meal more fun because we could try a little of everything.

The food was beautifully presented and felt more refined than a typical casual restaurant. Service was attentive without hovering, and the wine selection fits the experience really well. Definitely a nice choice for a date night or when you want something a little different.“

“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!“

“Absolutely love this place!“

“We came on a busy weekend but we found a seat at the bar and we were attended too fairly quickly. We did the recommended wine tasting and we enjoyed each glass. I like the idea of pouring it into a tube to go with the theme but I do enjoy an extra pour when it’s poured by hand to be honest lol but it was a great vibe over all I would highly recommend stopping by for a tasting if you are in the area. Very affordable. Parking can be terrible but it’s worth supporting local businesses I say.“

“Great little shady spot for some adult quiet time.“

“Great atmosphere, food, and drinks...and sometimes has live music too!“

“Work dinner.
The bread sticks make an unique appearance with it’s softness and flavor.
Simple Cesar salad, and the lemon cake was ok.
Loved the ravioli with spinach and the ricotta bathed in a light tomato vodka cream sauce.
My entree was the boneless beef rib cooked thoroughly with perfect sauce, accompanied by nicely cooked asparagus and mashed potato, which was very pleasing and hearty.“

“Bar Tinto is more than a hidden gem. It is a rare find in Orange County. It offers some of the best Mexico City style food items I’ve had anywhere other than CDMX itself. The chef uses his free range of creativity and offers such unique and amazing ingredients in all of his dishes. He truly cares and has a passion for beautiful food. My wife and I know alot of chefs and restaurants in SoCal and this is some of the best food we can find. Chef Jonathan and his kitchen staff are all one of a kind. They shop for only the freshest ingredients and offer a variety of seasonal dishes throughout the year. The Pork Belly Taco has been a long standing menu item that literally NEVER disappoints. It is incredible. Every tostada the chef creates is amazing. And the Green Goddess dressing on their salad is worthy of bottling and drinking straight.

The wine program is also incredible. The range of wine is amazing and everyone on staff is SO knowledgeable about every wine they offer. If you aren’t sure about wine or how to pick out you can give them the simplest explanation of what wine you want and they will bring over several bottles to chose from and will give you an in depth and beautiful description of all of them before you decide what you want.

Amazing food, wine, music and vibes are all huge perks but what really sets Bar Tinto over the edge is the hospitality and kindness of all the staff. Great for date night, for a night out with friends, a spot to bring the parents too, literally any occasion. We look forward to sitting in tinto and enjoying the food and wine at least twice a week!!

Gracias, Bar Tinto! 10/10“

“Third Place Wine Bar is one of those rare spots that gets everything right. The atmosphere is warm, stylish, and effortlessly inviting—perfect for a date night, catching up with friends, or winding down after a long day. It truly lives up to its name as a “third place” you want to linger in.

Justin, Naomi and Chloe will get you right. Order the grilled cheese“

“The night before Mother’s Day, after having dinner with friends in Brea, we randomly discovered this music bar — and it turned out to be such a magical experience. From the moment we walked in, it felt like stepping into a fairytale. The atmosphere was absolutely perfect, the music set the mood beautifully, and both the cocktails and food were truly outstanding.
I highly recommend this place for a girls’ night out or for couples who just started dating and want somewhere romantic and special. Definitely a hidden gem we’ll be coming back to!“

“5 stars for weekday happy hour specials! Popped in before a show at Segerstrom. Made a reservation on Opentable and when we arrived at 5pm there was already a line forming for the happy hour section. We ordered the $16 flatbread and sips: pesto chicken flatbread paired with generous size cosmo martini. Also ordered from the $8 small plates special: goat cheese and 3 piece steak lettuce wraps. Service was fast and friendly, food served hot and generous in portion for happy hour. There used to be live piano entertainment - there wasn’t on the night we went. They were showing baseball playoffs that time. We will definitely return when we go to a show again!“

“delicious korean pub food! with natural wine by the glass. soju cocktails. highly recommend the pork belly.

don’t let the interior fool you. parking can be tough with the kbbq spot next door but there’s residential parking nearby.“

“Hands down, the best wine bar in OC. Fantastic selection, stellar service, and a great space.

PS. You can grab food from anywhere in DTSA and they’ll help you pair it with something.

P.S.S. Pat is the best!“

“Absolutely loved this place. The food was amazing, and every dish we tried was packed with flavor. I also really liked the atmosphere, it felt modern, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed.

The hidden speakeasy concept is such a fun and unique touch. It makes the experience feel much more memorable than just going out for dinner.

It also seems like it may be Asian-owned, and I’d love to see more businesses like this. Great food, creative ideas, and excellent execution. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending it to friends!“

“Great craft beer selections, great sandwiches, warm sunny patio.“

“I only sat here to enjoy food and drink I got elsewhere“

“Had brunch here for mother's day and I will say that it did not disappoint. The food was delicious (ordered the burger) and the service was great. Its in between the Disney hotels so there are pools on both sides of the place, making it lively but not overly stimulating. Just had an overall great experience here.“

“I literally stumbled in to WIP or waiting for some service on my car. I feel fortunate to have found this perfect spot. Obviously more than a coffee joint - it’s smart, stylish and engagingly current. Populated by an intriguing, vibrant and smart crowd.“

“great food. friendly service“

“We had an awesome time there. The bartender was great! She really made us feel at home.“

“straight to the point. this place is outstanding from the food to the service to the ambience 100% satisfied special thank you to our server gracie. she did a excellent job“

“It was a great time for me and my hubby. Great date night. Karen the owner, was very hospitable and so talented. She teaches and gave me techniques to ‘correct’ my paintings. I’m a sweet wine drinker so the moscato was so yummy! We will be back for sure to do another!“

“Always a great time at Colony Wine Merchant! Mike & Sonja do such a great job with everything! 🍷👍🏻“

“This place was a vibe. Everything was so delicious. They specialize in all cuisines, but they have a focus on Filipino cuisine. Everything overall is fusion. They have pasta. They have everything that you would need.

We got the shrimp lumpia, the mussels, the wagyu burger, the rigatoni bolognese, and a glass of white and red wine. The service was impeccable, and everything was just flat out delicious. Great service, great atmosphere, and the food is farm-to-table.“

“I had been wanting to visit Wings Café for quite some time, and it exceeded my expectations.

The food was excellent, and the atmosphere made the experience unique. Being able to enjoy breakfast while watching the activity around the airport was something my kids and I really enjoyed. The omelets, eggs, and hash browns were delicious, and the portions were generous.

As an added bonus, there was a classic car show taking place during our visit, which made the day even more memorable.

If you’re looking for great food, friendly service, and a one-of-a-kind aviation atmosphere, I highly recommend Wings Café. We will definitely be back.“

“Excellent restaurant the wine was amazing in the ceviche so delish thank you we will be back“

“Exceptional Wine and a Fantastic Experience
McClain Cellars truly delivers on both quality and experience. The wines are outstanding—rich, well-balanced, and clearly crafted with care. From the moment you arrive, the atmosphere is welcoming and relaxed, making it easy to sit back and enjoy every pour. The staff is knowledgeable and passionate, taking the time to explain each wine without being overwhelming. Whether you’re a seasoned wine lover or just looking for a great place to unwind, McClain Cellars is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be back!“

“The girlfriend and I just moved here and checked this place out as it was close to home and had great reviews.

I had the smash burger and she had the chicken sandwich; both were delicious and the fact that they offer sweet potato fries is a plus. Extra points for the ranch, which was some of the best I’ve had and I never have ranch with anything.

Bartender didn’t have what I wanted but suggested an alternative and we both liked it.

The place is a vibe and definitely worth checking out.“

“It was our first visit to Verde, and absolutely loved it! Everything was amazing including the beet salad, chili, salmon crudo, and the trout entree! Sebastian at the bar provided excellent customer service and made dalish craft cocktails! And a major bonus is that they are a part of the AAdvantage dining program, which is very important for me...“

“This is my favorite restaurant! I loved it back when it was on Bristol, but I have been back to the new Red Hill location twice now and it is even more of a special dining experience. Massimo has come out to explain the history of the wine and food and the sources of his ingredients. He tells wonderful stories with a great sense of humor, and his daughter who helps serve is also very knowledgeable and delightful. I feel transported and hosted in a way I have never experienced in a restaurant. The food is amazing. The fresh handmade pasta melts in your mouth. We have eaten every dessert and they are all spectacular. Every wine and appetizer we have tried has been extraordinary. I couldn't recommend this place more.“

“A new experience. Many wine & craft beer choices. Mellow adult atmosphere. Friendly bartender.“

“A small izakaya in the OC area that's well worth a visit. The food was excellent and stood out compared to some of the more well-known izakayas nearby. With warm hospitality and a well-executed menu of classic izakaya dishes. It’s a place you really can't go wrong with.“

“My wife and I decided to check out the Anaheim Packing District for the first time, and we made it a point to share food throughout the day. That’s when we stumbled across Pique-Nique. Not only was the cheese and meat incredible, but the whole experience made it even better. I highly recommend giving it a try if you’re there.“

“Hit the mark, prices ok, 24/7 Willy Wonka on TV👍“

“I sometimes stop by this bar after work — either to grab a drink or have dinner after picking up groceries. Great atmosphere, wide selection of drinks, and it’s very convenient being right inside the same building. Always a nice spot to relax for a bit.“

“I recently hosted a “Neighbor Appreciation Party” and had the absolute pleasure of working with Julie at OC Wine Mart in Yorba Linda. She curated the perfect wine selections for the event and elevated the entire experience. Julie is incredible-her professionalism, warmth, and depth of knowledge of wine made her a party favorite! From helping me choose the ideal wines to pouring and leading engaging discussions about each one, she brought a personal touch that my neighbors are still raving about. A+. Highly recommend OC Wine Mart and Julie for any event or wine needs!“

“In the Huntington State Beach .
Enter at Huntington State Beach entrance on the corner of Beach Blvd & PCH.
parking lot entrance fee $15 into the beach
Across from tower 15 with beach front views a great place to people watch and enjoy cocktails and ice gold beer . conveniently walkable to the water , and enjoy the fir pit and volleyball courts access.

During this visit we had their ceviche chips , BBQ bacon burger, sipping ice cold beer while
enjoying the phenomenal view .

I suggest pack light no need to haul out side food to the beach. Come relax entrust your belly to delicious made to order meals .“

“We will be back. Good food love it. 😍“

“Great happy hour and good food. We went here while staying at the hotel for our Disney trip and it ended up being our groups rest spot after a long day. If you're going to get a specialty cocktail, the Smoky Sparrow was really smooth and the aromatics were wonderful. The server/bartender Zaira was really attentive and kind to our group with toddlers.“

“Came here for the Cyborg fight. Plenty of seating ranging from booths, bar stools, and couches. Food arrived nicely presented and was great quality full of flavor. Was confused on its attempt to be a sports bar and lounge at the same time with top 40 music overshadowing sports commentary. Overall a chill place. Great spot for groups.“

“Nice atmosphere, kind staffs and excellent foods. Steak is recommended especially chimichurri sauce was really good. Salmon with miso was also good. Menu is attached because it is hard to find the menu from their homepage.

In addition, for dining people, parking can be validated through their own parking lot.“

“It's one of the few restaurants I like“

“The food was good and the service was very good“

“I had a great time at this bar because it offered a wide variety of craft beers, cocktails, and seltzers. I also enjoyed the flavorful food options, especially the pizza, wings, and steak nachos. The staff were friendly, and the upbeat atmosphere made the place even more enjoyable. I liked that there were plenty of TVs, making it a great spot to watch games with friends. However, the service could sometimes be inattentive, which was a minor downside to the overall experience.“

“I drive 2 hours on Saturday just to come to this amazing restaurant. The atmosphere is so elegant, the staff is wonderful and the food is exquisite . I can guarantee that the nasty comments are from commies. Please visit this amazing restaurant and decide for yourself.“

“Very accommodating! Delicious! Beautiful plates and great service! Emily was great!“
