The Wine Cellar Reviews
Great classic drinks. Highlight of every trip to Santa Maria. Bartender is a great. If you like coffee try his Espresso Margarita.
This is my second visit to Santa Maria for work, and the second time staying at the Santa Maria Inn. I’ll start with the rooms, I’ve only stayed in the newer rooms (tower) and I love!

The Wine Cellar is a hidden gem in the area, offering a bar with a good selection of central coast wines. While it is not a location for food, it serves up Prohibition Era cocktails and variations on pours. The bartender, Dennis, is excellent, and the atmosphere has a 1980's vibe. The restaurant has a cozy, basement-like setting that can get packed quickly, but the drinks, such as the chocolate martini and the old fashioned with smoke, are said to be amazing. The overall experience is described as a "pretty cool little basement spot" with a great bartender and a lively atmosphere.
