Very Disappointing Experience…read more I was really looking forward to The Golden Girls pop-up at Wanderlust Wine Company. Unfortunately, the experience was nothing like what I had seen from the pop-ups in other cities. The biggest disappointment was how little there actually was to the experience. The kitchen table wasn't even there. The girls famously gathered around that table eating cheesecake. There were no cheesecake props, which seemed like an obvious and essential part of The Golden Girls experience. Blanche's bedroom was completely outside in a completely different building, which made the whole setup feel disconnected. Even the wall phone, which was supposed to have the girls talking did not provide the experience I had seen from Instagram reels from other cities. Then came the cocktails. At $16 each, I expected them to at least be made correctly. My Blanche Devereaux cocktail was made with club soda instead of Sprite. Club soda tastes like Alka-Seltzer. I had to ask for a different drink. The second cocktail, The Dorothy, was made with Prosecco and unfortunately wasn't good either. Even the one lady sitting at this isolated bar with me said her drink was bad too. They double charged me. Which is another major issue. My ticket was $23.34 including taxes and fees and the complimentary drink was supposed to be included, with only a one-cent charge when I arrived. Instead, I was charged an additional $23.08, including $11.54 for the drink that was supposed to be included in the ticket price. Is there an explanation? Will this be corrected? My credit card company has already been notified. But what a hassle I have to go through. Just scan my QR code, and don't charge me .01 cent. I paid my ticket and "free" drink. Also as a solo guest, I was also extremely uncomfortable with where I was seated. I was placed away from everyone else at a very narrow bar along the wall, completely isolated from the rest of the group. Honestly, it felt like being sent to the kids' table at Thanksgiving--off in another room away from the adults. It was humiliating and made an already disappointing experience even worse. The entire experience amounted to roughly 15 minutes of taking a few pictures, drinking a poorly made cocktail, and leaving. For what I paid and what was advertised, I expected something much more immersive and fun. I couldn't wait to leave. Thank God I didn't pay for parking. I'm extremely disappointed. I went in excited to celebrate one of my favorite shows and left feeling like I had wasted my time and money. Based on this experience, I would not return to Wanderlust Wine Company.

My favorite part is the outdoor multi-level patio and it is so nice to work outdoors and feel like you've stepped out of the city for a bit. Their parking lot is adjacent to a large lot of trees and for some reason it reminds me of a cabin so it really feels relaxing and decompressing.

They said it was actually covering up the real cave because the health department wouldn't let them keep the natural cave. The wine was overpriced for the pours.

If you want to gift someone a nice bottle or take something really good to a dinner party, this is the place to go. You're not gonna find MD 20/20 or Boones on the shelves here. Support these guys.

Overall: 4/5…read more Ambiance: 4/5 This is an awesome brewery! I love that outside in the back they have a small play space for kids. There are a lot of tables and there was a big screen up to watch basketball when I visited! I haven't sat inside, but it looks nice as well and much quieter / at least when I visited. Service: 4/5 Had no issues, just ordered at the counter and voi la! Friendly person took our order & the only complaint is there were no cups outside for water - think it's just busy and this happens! Food & Beer 4/5: I had the magic carpet sour and it was very good, although I will say it isn't as sour as a typical sour would be. Nice drink overall and I think someone who isn't a sour fan may still enjoy it - it gives more cider honestly. My friend and I split the veggie quesadillas and the chips and salsa. The veggie quesadilla was good, the mushrooms they put in it were fab - I wouldn't say it's exceptional for the price but it was good. The chips and salsa were also good, but the salsa was a much thicker green and cilantro based something - I wouldn't exactly call it salsa, but it was good, just a bit misleading. I think they should add a descriptor on the menu, salsa usually means red unless otherwise noted imop.

Limited lot parking and mainly have to find street parking. THE BLACK AND WHITE: I came here with the wife in the early morning for a meetup. Parking is very limited and we had to park far down the street. I was hungry and needed my caffeine fix. The tacos did take a while to come out and it was because they forgot my order. I ordered a bacon egg cheese bfast taco, chorizo egg cheese bfast taco and a coffee. Each taco was around $6-$7 which is kind of insane that tacos have gotten that expensive. They were just alright and only flour tortillas. Coffee was given in a nice mug. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Spent around $15 for two breakfast tacos and a coffee. Bfast tacos were alright and I think ill stick to the beers next time.

Hard to be objective about what has become of the in-walking-distance, best ever convenience store…read morenext to Mr R's apartment when we were dating a billion years ago but I will try. Thanks to Brent L, I knew when the half dozen front parking spots weren't convenient to calmly take the next right and look for another lot--there's perhaps a dozen more back there. Since we were here for Monday lunch, parking was not an issue. Front parking plops you at the convenience section's front door. If you walk around the left and towards the outdoor seating/stage you'll find restrooms and rear parking lot ahead of you plus the restaurant/bar entrance on your right. Once inside by any route you can find the communicating doors to the other sections of the business. Stepping inside the bar/restaurant from 2:30pm August parking lot sun was blissfully dark. Actually reminded me of the bar scene in Nurse Betty until I smelled the seasonings and my eyes adjusted. A couple quiet patrons wrapping up their bar tab, conversation-friendly music playing, kind young woman at the bar took our lunch order. The setting is hole in the wall bar but clean and fused to convenience store shelving. Don't let that fool you, bc the kitchen does not slouch. Our table was $55 before tip and without any alcohol--bindhi masala for him, lamb saag for me, samosas, Mexican cokes, and garlic naan. The young lady came over to open the Mexican cokes and also brought our food when it was ready. When we first took a booth the music selection was from the time we were dating. By the time we got cokes and samosas, they were playing my parents' era. We each were pleased with the spice levels we'd chosen and ate as much as we could, taking about half to go. Mr R finished his leftovers for dinner and mine waited until Wednesday. We hardly spoke after the meal arrived, just enjoying flavors and textures and the strange nostalgia of having a meal for the first time in a building that you simultaneously know very well and not at all any longer. The restrooms outside were clean and the outside seating/stage looked like it would be fun in more habitable seasons. After eating, Mr R melted off to scout out an interesting bottle of gin for friends and found something satisfactory. Wish we'd noticed the tees by the bar entrance, I would have snagged him one. It was easy getting out of the lot and on the road back south since we left a squeak before rush hour hit, but locals will already be aware of the essence of timing. There are several different kinds of events you can partake in at this ongoing institution, but for two old folks seeking a tasty meal and memories, a weekday lunch was perfect. I hope we don't wait as long to return next time.

Casual, loud music, fun, and definitely memorable! We had the Vindaloo Paneer lunch special ($11.99) and the Chicken Tikka Kebab (listed on the menu as Tandoori Chicken, $14), and each was fantastic. The Vindaloo Paneer had the perfect heat level. It was super flavorful and was a generous serving size. It included plenty of rice. The Chicken Tikka Kebab was thigh meat, and it was cooked perfectly. It came out sizzling hot and was well seasoned and not even close to being dry. It was very juicy. The Jalapeño Naan ($6) was a standout. Great spice, awesome flavor. I'm definitely ordering that again! Their wide selection of draft beers (averaging around $7) is a big bonus for you drunkards out there. , The parking: it totally sucks. As of September 2025 the parking is very limited. There is a parking lot out back, but it's difficult to navigate to. Use your GPS, and you should be fine. Overall: cool atmosphere, great food, and solid value. Would absolutely come back - despite the parking issues.
