One of the best liquor shops in LA because they have so many top shelf items, large selection, &…read moreit's reasonably priced. I'm glad this is so local to me, even if it wasn't I would come back here because THEY HAVE EVERYTHING... from wine to beers. To all sorts of liquor as well. Guys are pretty friendly and prompt with service here I'm not sure why some people had issues but I usually do browse what I want BEFORE getting in line to not hold anyone up. So maybe that's why some people had issues? Love the Harry Potter bookshelf wall with service Rollie ladder of top shelf liquor it's a whole mood. Modern and clean vibes here and the exterior is cool too as it's huge pieces of glass. It looks cool and nice at night especially! Place is packed to the brim on Fridays, Saturdays, and holidays.

UPDATE: I am updating my rating to 3 stars purely based on how management handled my situation…read more Shortly after my initial negative experience, Amar reached out to me directly. He was highly professional, apologized for the unacceptable service, assured me he had spoken to the staff so it wouldn't happen again, and went out of his way to completely cover the cost of my order. It takes a lot for a business to own their mistakes and make it right, and I really appreciate that ownership actually cares about their customers. ORIGINAL EXPERIENCE: Do not order delivery directly from their website. I originally placed an order online for a couple beers and two bottles of liquor, and despite living only 2.8 miles away, I was called by an employee named Angelo who told me it would take 4 hours to deliver. When I expressed frustration, he offered zero compensation or alternative solutions. He claimed there was "no manager" to speak to, and told me to just go use DoorDash or Grubhub instead because nobody wanted to drive a moped less than 3 miles. It is incredibly frustrating when a business takes your money for an advertised service, refuses to fulfill it, and then tells you to go pay extra fees on a third-party app. Overall, I'm giving 3 stars because Amar's excellent response and accountability balanced out Angelo's initial terrible service.

Positives: Nice staff, good food and big space. In addition to the b'ness event, we watched the opening game of the NFL season. The TV was large and fairly clear; Negatives: Beer only. IDK about you, but as I've become older, I can't drink as much beer. Its so filling and it makes me pee a lot. It would be nice if they had a full bar; Street parking only altho there is no charge. It seemed like all the spots on the street BB is located on were taken. Not sure how much parking is on the adjacent busier streets; If I were in the area I would return. However, I would start the evening at BB, not end the evening. I like to have hard liquor when I drink. It doesn't make me run to the mens room as much vs beer, and it is less filling.

Front door security told us that it was going to be a popular night because of a popular singer and his band. As we walk in we noticed it was very small but the vibes were good. They had a signature drink for the night which was a Paloma icee which was really good. The grupo played good and popular songs as well. Me and my girlfriend are dancers so if you want a place where you want to dance, this is not the place. If you want a place to just vibe, drink and listen to good music then this is the perfect place. Luckily me and my girlfriend can make the most in every place, but still dancing is hard in this place. Would definitely go back for the vibes but not for dancing

Naturally, we followed the music... and wow, what a vibe! This place is such a vibe-y outdoor hangout spot. Super cute, super chill. The first thing you see? A full bar built into a refurbished 1954 Spartan Trailercoach and yes, it's as cool as it sounds, serving beer and craft cocktails. The music was bumpin', the energy was up, but it still had this cozy, intimate feel. Perfect combo. My boyfriend and I both got the Paloma and we snagged a spot in the back to catch the DJ doing his thing. Our table was a little wobbly and my cocktail tipped! Such a bummer but the bartender didn't miss a beat. She sent someone to clean it up immediately and replaced my drink with a fresh one. Didn't catch her name but shoutout to her for the amazing service! There was a big group nearby just vibing, laughing, and living their best life. The whole place felt like a spontaneous backyard party you never want to leave. So glad we wandered in this is definitely a new fave.

The location has a spacious area filled with a variety of wine options. I picked a Bourgogne Chardonnay from France ($36). We came on a late Monday afternoon and, lucky for us, they have a bar special on Mondays: No corkage fee! They also have Happy Hour-- Monday to Friday from 3-6pm. The Chardonnay was divine! I would totally return and purchase another bottle. We also ordered a charcuterie board and took advantage of their happy hour special for $20 (pick two-- one cheese and one meat). We opted for the 'Humboldt Fog' Chèvre as our cheese option and the Bresaola for our meat option. Both were delicious, but the chèvre was truly exquisite. We shared one charcuterie board with five people and it was enough; however if you're on the hungry side, I suggest two charcuterie boards for five or six people. In addition to meat and cheese, it comes with crackers, some pickled veggies, onion jam, candied nuts, whole grain Dijon, and apple slices. On the left side of the venue you have your variety of wine options; on the right side, there's the bar and some tables, plus a small area with other snacks for purchase that pair nicely with wine or beer. They even sell the Torres truffle chips! My only complaint is the service, unfortunately. The lady at the cashier was super friendly, however the bar tender was not so welcoming. When he came over to our table to open our wine bottle, he didn't greet us, smile, or say anything. He took our bottle and opened it and then asked who was going to taste. Not sure if he thought we didn't speak English since we were speaking another language when he came to our table, but overall, we all noticed his attitude and thought it was rather unwelcoming. Because of this experience, I rate this place a 4/5, however, everything else was great!
