13 Best Wine Bars in Walnut Creek

“Va de Vi Bistro & Wine Bar continues to impress us every visit. The food is always incredibly fresh, and the rotating menu keeps things exciting.

Their wine list is extensive and thoughtfully curated, with something for every mood. We usually sit outside on the patio under the heaters with our dog, and they’re always super accommodating.

The servers are also genuinely kind, attentive, and knowledgeable — it’s consistently a great experience all around. Highly recommend“

“The Library Social Club was the PERFECT place for a gathering of old friends. Extensive wine list, tasty small bites, comfortable and elegant setting, attentive service...and truly best of all...the music was loud enough to add ambience, but low enough that we could easily talk and visit. Highly recommend!“

“Had a reservation at The Library Social Club Wine Bar on Thursday, but it was closed when I arrived no notice or update anywhere. Luckily ended up at Residual Sugar Wine Bar instead and it turned out to be a great choice. The atmosphere was warm and relaxed, service was friendly, and the wine selection was excellent. Definitely glad I came here instead and will be coming back again.“

“I had the breakfast buffet. It is mostly pre-made with an omelet bar made to order. Food was great quality, seemed fresh. Milk or chocolate milk is included.. It is offered on Saturdays and Sunday mornings..Don't sleep in!! the breakfast ends at 11:00 a.m!!

Parking: There are a few street parking spots but valet parking is $30. If you are just dining you may be able to park in the lot temporarily?? ?
I walked from down the street..“

“Excellent service and the food was delicious.“

“Great service delicious food cozy atmosphere. Awesome Happy Hour 👍👍👍👍👍“

“Great place overall! The food was excellent. We ordered the 6-piece wings—crispy and perfectly hot—and a personal pizza with sausage and mushrooms. It was the perfect amount for two people.

The kids’ area can get a bit hectic, as many parents sit while their kids run around. It might be helpful to have signs reminding parents that kids should be monitored at all times, especially around the video games. One child accidentally hit me with his sweater, and the parent was nowhere to be found—not Bare Bottle’s fault, just something that could be helped with a gentle reminder.

I also noticed some people using the parking lot for Trader Joe’s parking, so signage there could help as well.

The 21+ section is still developing, and I’m looking forward to seeing it fully come together—I’m hopeful it’ll be just as great as the rest of the space.

Overall, a really great spot and we’ll definitely be back“

“Ordered takeout for a Halloween evening treat and went with their classic cheese pizza. My mom, who is notoriously picky about her pizza, gave it a thumbs-up – no small feat!

The ambiance in the restaurant had a casual, friendly vibe, perfect for grabbing a quick bite or just relaxing. I was there a bit early in the evening, so it wasn’t too crowded. The guy at the counter was exceptionally friendly, making the experience even more pleasant.

Bill & Bali’s seems to have nailed the combination of great service and quality pizza, making it a solid spot for pizza lovers. Looking forward to trying more from their menu soon!“

“We had such a great experience at The Cooperage! We’re visiting from Hawaiʻi and were really excited to finally try this place, and it did not disappoint. The atmosphere was welcoming and the food was delicious. Everything felt very classic and well done.

A special thank you to Sonia, the manager, who was incredibly attentive and checked on us throughout our visit to make sure everything was perfect. It really meant a lot and made the experience feel extra welcoming.

Our server Owen was also fantastic friendly, professional, and very attentive. He made great recommendations and took great care of us.

The whole team made us feel really welcome and we’re so glad we came while visiting from Hawaii . We’ll definitely recommend The Cooperage to friends and family who come to the mainland“

“Celebrated our 10th anniversary at Ruth's Chris Steak House and the experience was fantastic from start to finish. Our server Nichole was wonderful—warm, attentive, and great at explaining the menu and cooking temps without ever making us feel rushed. I ordered the filet mignon and it was the best I've ever had—perfectly seared, buttery-tender, and cooked exactly to medium-rare. My husband had the Cowboy Ribeye and loved every bite; rich, flavorful, and cooked just right. Great ambiance, thoughtful service, and memorable food. Highly recommend for special occasions (or any night you want to treat yourselves)!“
