29 Best Wine Bars near Vista

“Our first time visiting this place. We went last Saturday night to watch the “Horseshoe Lucky Band”. This place was spacious and had several breweries offering a variety of drinks at reasonable prices, an urban winery, and burger joint. Enjoyed listening and dancing to country music.“

“Great variety on kick-a** beers. The beer tender was so nice and helped us navigate the perfect beer. Also, thank god for the heater!! It was so comfortable having a great beer and not freezing.Definitely will be back! #burgeonbeer #kernriver“

“went to the Backdraft today been going there since they opened under the original owner. This is the worst I have ever seen it. the serve flat out SUCKS. unless you are in with "one of the mangers" then you get good service.I will not be back untill the change owners.“

“This place is a VIBE. The live mixed house music is awesome. Ambience is great. Food is perfect. Drinks are flavorful and not too heavy. The owner Mark is extremely personable and loves to talk directly to his guests. Will be coming back. Highly recommend.“

“Their food is decadent and amazing. Their staff, a wonderful group. Never need to ask for anything. Their wine ? spectacular. This is a very small place. Reservations recommended. Don't miss out on the best Italian Cuisine in North County. Price $$$“

“A constant place of gathering for my coworkers and I who worked in the San Elijo Area. This time we met on a weekend for brunch. I ordered a Pannikin coffee and Cinnamon Toast French Toast. Really thick slices of French Toast, I’m kinda weird and prefer thin slices but this was still good. Others got an omelette or a wrap. Everyone like their food, service was nice, bit pricey but in line with the local restaurants.“

“Food was decent, the servers were friendly, but the overall Service was meh. We were a group of 6 guys who were celebrating a pal's birthday (cost was not an issue).We had issues receiving the following after many requests:* Additional Bread - requested 6 times* Red Pepper flakes - requested 4 times* Refilled water glass (never happened)Appreciated dining at Via Vai but they aren't the only restaurant in town. Won't be back for a very long while.“

“I ate here about a year ago and forgot to write a review. Here's the thing. I am afraid to go back. It was the best meal top to bottom I have had in 50 years. I spent 20 of those working in the restaurant industry. I am concerned that they will not be able to replicate the experience. The server ( French Accent) was a psychic. He was only there when wanted. Knew the menu down to the details. Scallops and whatever they were served on was perfect. Crazy dessert with pistachio something or other. Anyway, thanks for the finest dining evening I have ever had. Sorry for the late review.“

“The happy hour here is amazing. If you love a good glass of wine but want the ability to try multiple different bottles without having to drink bottles, this is the place. The appetizers here are perfect as well. The ability to pour smaller amounts and getting to choose which bottle you like is perfect Service here is amazing and friendly. The ambiance is chill and relaxing. Perfect before a great dinner. The great start to a date night.“

“What a gem! Ambiance is wine shop and old rhymes. Love that you can pick out a bottle and drink it there or get a glass from the wine list. Small bites like flatbread and cheese samplers. No kitchen food. Servers love wine and are super helpful with suggestions. See what you like and you can even become a member. Special wine dinners and tasting events. Can't wait to go back for more sips.“

“From the first course to the last our server was extremely attentive and helped us navigate the menu. We had the 8 course tasting menu and honestly, I couldn’t find a single dish to say anything but amazing things about. After dinner we got a brief tour of the private dining area and back of house, shook hands with the executive chef and got to thank him for helping curate such a special birthday dinner for my partner and myself. It truly was a journey through coastal Mexico with every bite and the staff was incredibly kind. If you have an opportunity to experience this place, you should absolutely book the reservation! The chef’s and staff here earned their star for great reason!“

“A complete gem! North County is an outstanding source for all things wine, but even better is their boutique wine bar to have a glass with friends or the owner. Like a small Napa winery without the vineyard. Jim is beyond friendly, knows everything there is to know about wine without being snooty. The perfect fit for the neighborhood and for San Diego. Best alternative to the big box wine store. I love the little outdoor patio, and especially like sitting up at the quaint bar with my girlfriend. She likes the huge selection of wines. A must during Christmas and the holidays, but even better throughout the year because you can pop in for a minute or just relax for hours.“

“It was a simple and refreshing salad paired with the slice of pizza. We loved the rusty and crunch of the pizza dough. The serving size is almost 2 slices. The salad was really good! The greens are crunchy paired with the right acidity of the dressing.“

“My boyfriend is obsessed with this place so I had the chance to give it a try for dinner. Corner Pizza is located at a cute corner of South O'side with lots of street parking nearby, and it's always busy. All in all the pizza is very tasty and very fresh, but also very pricey. I ordered the mushroom queen with no modifications and my boyfriend got the pepperoni with everything bagel crust. The pepperoni is a classic, very good, high quality pepperoni, no complaints. The mushroom queen is also good but I feel as if it wasn't quite what I was expecting. For a pizza called the mushroom queen that has "seasonal mushrooms" I was expecting lots of mushrooms with more variety, but it's more like two types of mushrooms sprinkled on. I was hoping for maybe some oyster mushrooms, a bit of shiitake, king trumpet, etc., for the high price point. I was also disappointed that there was no sauce on this pizza, which made the flavor a bit lackluster. I didn't know that the only pizzas with sauces seem to be the ones that specifically list a sauce. The lemon marinated arugula on top was fantastic though, coming from someone who hates arugula. Whole pizzas are around the mid-$20 range, and if you add additional toppings it'll easily go to $30. So it's a fair price to share with friends, but if you have a large appetite like me then it's a bit high :') I think Corner Pizza is pretty solid, but I'll be coming back for the lunch slice specials from now on rather than whole pizzas.“

“The people and the kitchen staff all so very attentive to all customers, our waitress was so very pleasant and helpful, answering all of our questions, the atmosphere was warm and comfortable. Highly recommended. Thank you to all for a wonderful and delicious experience… food was amazing.“

“Enjoyed visiting this winery on December 30th.I was visting from Seattle and stopped by this place for dinner. The atmosphere was great. the bartender was friendly. the food and the wine were of great quality.They slightly overcharged my receipt by $0.95, but mistakes happen, the manager was polite and apologetic about it.I would visit this place again and highly recommend it to any travellers deciding to stop by a small little town called Encinitas in the San Diego area.“

“I like the applewood fire pizzas- the crusts are delicious!! The lemon ricotta and the margherita pizzas are my favorites. The poached pear arugula salad is also nice and refreshing. I've only ever ordered to go here but it's a cute joint and the food is really good.“

“Have always loved their take out sandwiches, dinners, wines to-go and inviting ambience.Stopped by to pick up some wine and decided to grab something to go. The waitress was helpful and friendly but the woman who I’m assuming prepared my meal rather rudely said, “Well that’s odd” when I asked to have my meal to go…Is that an odd request? For a restaurant? And even if it was, why not treat polite paying customers with tact and respect.I will still go back because I believe this was a one-off moment.“

“This place is really cool. Such a cool vibe, decorated with vinyl records, saxophones, and lots of other really cool things. The owner, Tim, is very friendly and attentive. The drinks were on point, really good! We had the pizza, really good too. I definitely recommend this place. They have live music and a comedy night. I'll for sure be back!“

“We've been to Frankie's many times so I'm not sure how I've not left a review yet. We came this most recent time for our sons 21st bday! If you haven't been to Frankie's you need to! It's a short walk to the pier as well. The vibe here is very speakeasy without the hassle. There is an outdoor patio area and beautiful booths to meet friends. The service is always amazing as the bartenders are the best!! The cocktails do rotate here and there and are always thoughtful and delicious. There's something for everyone from strong to light to zero proof. Currently the menu is a tour of Oceanside showcasing beverages from various parts of this amazing coastal city! Dogs are welcome and you can even bring in some take out.“

“Bottlecraft is truly a "hidden gem." The local unique art on display and skate/surf videos help make it comfortable, for me. The customer service is excellent. People know their ipas and sour style beers. They also have a cooler/fridge filled with a plethora of quality beers to sip there or take back home. The common area in the back is great for groups and kept clean.“

“Loved the pizza! We had several different varieties and they were all good! Delicious! The salads were amazing, I loved the basil flavor of one of the salads. Also, I don't drink alcohol but they had a Heineken 0% alcohol, was out of this world tasty would recommend it. Thank you you guys for having this alternative beer . Great place!“

“My Boyfriend and I love this place. This time we tried Pizza and it didn't disappoint. It had tons of meat on it even filet mignon that melted in your mouth. That was a first for us. never have we had filet mignon on a pizza before.This is a gem of a place in the heart of the Village.Our Server Renaldo was excellent. We normally don't get dessert but we couldn't resist the limoncello cake. Yum!“

“Oh my goodness deliciousness! Amazing evening -- Insalata de Nochi (braised Pear Salad) was perfect-- I had the Short Rib Pasta -- made with Pappardelle Pasta, moist flavorful short rib, mushroom cream sauce (yum!)--absolutely scrumptious! Bob had the Chicken Marsala, and he said the chicken was tender, very good! and of course (2) Glasses of Cabernet, from Paso Robles--The staff are always so amazing, fantastic customer service-- Thank you to the man, Leone!“

“Happy Hour Daily 4-6pm, great selection of drinks and appetizers and the bartenders are super chill. The music flows and creates such a vibe in the place, centrally located in the village in Carlsbad this place definitely merits your attention.“

“When we arrived we found there to be a bit of a line for checking in on a Monday evening however once we got to the front and Rebecca helped us we forgot all about the wait. She was so thoughtful, thorough and professional in explaining everything to my mom and I. My mom is recently been having to use a wheelchair and Rebecca was so intuitive that she asked my mom if she might need some other medical devices to make her stay more comfortable. We didn’t even know they had these things available and they were already waiting for us when we got to the room. Shower chair and toilet riser. The place was beautiful, large luxurious rooms with fantastic amenities. My mom said it was the most beautiful place she had ever stayed which brought tears to my eyes. The only thing I would suggest is more handicapped parking spaces. We had to park some dip from our from in the 61 building and with a wheelchair and luggage proved a challenge but again the only suggestion I would make. We stayed in the cove area and yes there was construction but I was only during the daytime and we were made fully aware prior to check in. As for the small amount of noise from Lego land we rather enjoyed hearing the beautiful laughter of happy families enjoying each others company while make memories.“

“This is a jewel of a place in Oceanside, CA. The location is great. The coffee shop itself is a wonderful place. The employees are exceptional, the coffee and pastries are magnificent. Anyone that visits Oceanside, make sure you make plans to visit Pannikin.“

“I was in the mood for Greek food and this place came highly recommended by my person. Our server was friendly and quick and the food was yummy. It was just what we wanted. We ordered the fried cheese to start. I got the Gyro plate and he ordered the chicken lunch special. Both plates came with salad, pita, rice, and their yummy yogurt sauce. I would come back here again.“

“Fun Fun Fun atmosphere! A little something for everyone. In one corner you have pool tables, in another corner you have a sitting area that transports you to a secret garden. Across from there, you have a welcoming bar with fun things to look at where you can order from a large assortment of ice cold beer and specialty cocktail. Large TVs and finally bar stools facing the bustling streets outside ...Come on in“
