There are a couple of comments about the prices being a few $ higher than other stores. I agree with those even when considering other small businesses in the area. Moreover, they have a corkage fee that is not fixed price. For bottles below $30, you pay $30. Taking into consideration they have bottles that start at $12, I don't see how that is reasonable. Other places in the RPT have either a $5 fee or no fee at all. Definitely something to keep in mind when looking for a place to enjoy a bottle of wine with friends.

Cool spot with helpful people & good atmosphere but some bottles are 30-40% more expensive than other places, like whole foods!? A little annoyed after buying multiple bottles of day lemonade rose for $26 here then seeing it at whole foods for $18. I completely understand places like this may have slight markups for convenience/selection but that's drastic & brings the score down from an easy 4 to a 2 for me.

I have been to LouElla twice and so far it has the best atmosphere for a wine bar. The bartenders are extremely knowledgeable and share a love for the drink. Hands down you have to try this spot!

Wonderful staff and incredible wine selections.

The only thing they’re missing is a menu that is better curated to their wine list, even better light snacks than the chips or (in my opinion overpriced) prepackaged cheese would go a long way. Though to be fair, it does seem like you can bring your own food in so that is an option.

Love having this place in the neighborhood. They are so knowledgeable about wine, but in a really friendly and personable way. They also have really fun tastings pretty much every Saturday. The people watching on the patio is also fun.

Fantastic wine store and bar. The staff is always friendly and knowledgeable. We always have a great time at their free Saturday tastings. Love pairing something from their wine list with their tinned seafood selection.
