Fantastic spot if you like wine and meeting new people. Laid back crowd without the normal riff raff of the bar scene. Definitely recommended

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.

This is an amazing wine bar with a huge selection of wines. Fred and the crew are welcoming and engaging.
Cosy couches to relax back and enjoy a great night

Love love loved this casual but really enjoyable wine bar. The owners are so nice. My wife and I came with Joe, my son who has been there many times! Their back patio is so casual and nice.
Buy a bottle and with a corkage fee, enjoy it there and take home what you don’t finish! Some bottles are high end, but there are many lower priced options. Something for everyone.
We will be back !

Great, little local spot, with a higher-end wine selection typically. Not really much of a vibe, mostly locals who know each other chatting the chat.

NOT NILES AND FRASIER'S WINE BAR!Hubby and I went for the first time one weeknight during the holidays, and were instantly treated like old friends. Fred, the owner, is a wonderful host who introduced everyone to everyone and before long, I - a giant, self-conscious introvert- was chatting and laughing right along with everyone else. We met really cool, interesting people and had a blast!I’m no wine connoisseur, but our selections were delicious. The service was friendly and prompt, and they kept our water glasses filled, which was greatly appreciated.The venue itself was classy, warm and homey, and there’s a lovely outdoor patio that’s sometimes open.I definitely look forward to visiting again very soon!

Always a lovely affair. Love it if they updated their open times though - it's always a gamble as to whether they're open when we swing by

The absolute best wine bar I have ever been to! We have been to a lot of wine bars all over the world, this amazing gem, takes number one, for the community it has. From the minute we walked in we felt like the Thursday night regular! The wine selection was great and Freddy and Sammy made us feel like family! A huge thank you for an amazing night…. Don’t make a dinner reservation if your planning to go to this bar you will surely loose track of time and gladly miss it!

Such a great vibe. Love this place. Great wine selection. Great service. And nice ambiance! Definitely recommend

Great wine. Great atmosphere, Great people.

Such a delightful place with such delightful owners! The wine is delicious and they have a very nice outdoor patio to relax on and enjoy your drink. Everyone is super friendly and welcoming. You truly feel like a “friend” here.
