    New menu and fun special
    Joseph L.

    Great place to meet for wine and food. Bartenders are great they, even have a sip and shop service where they shop for you while you enjoy your glass of wine and dine.

    Are we allowed up on the rooftop too if we don't want to sit at the wine bar?

    Hello Mary! Thank you for reaching out with your question! Unfortunately, our license does not allow for alcohol from the wine bar to be consumed anywhere else in the store. We do hope to see you at the wine bar soon!

    Forgot to write my review but I came here 02-01-26. Caught a good deal on Groupon which lead me…read morehere. First time at a wine bar and I enjoyed the experience. It's a nice spot located in Belmont shore. It's very clean and spacious on the inside with couch seating along with tables and chairs. It isn't loud but they did have some music playing. It's a good spot to chill at with family and or friends for a few glasses of wine. It's also a cool spot for a nice intimate date. Had the pleasure of tasting 4 different wines; 2 whites and 2 reds. I enjoyed the wines. You can bring your own snacks and charcuterie board. The hostess was very knowledgeable of the wines, sharing backstories of where and how they were produced. It was a good learning experience also.

    I bought a Groupon for a tasting and checked out the food menu ahead of time.

When we arrived we were told there was no chef so only a few items could be made from the menu. I chose a flatbread but was then told they had no gluten free bread. So we had to get the charcuterie which was so small and cost $30. Really ridiculous price for something with a few pieces of meat, cheese, grapes and nuts. The wine was good, and the tastings were generous and I know it is a wine bar but the day was really spoiled by not having a lunch there. I don't think I would go there again. If you do make sure they have a chef before you go if you want to eat.

    Art Du Vin is such a cute, low-key natural wine bar. I've lived downtown LBC for almost two years…read moreand somehow never noticed it before, but I ended up there for a date and it turned out to be the perfect Sunday afternoon vibe. It's a small, charming spot with a relaxed atmosphere. Just a heads up- there's no indoor seating, so everything is outdoors with a small patio setup. That said, when the weather is nice, it's actually ideal. It feels very laid back and intimate, like one of those hidden neighborhood gems you stumble upon. The employee working when we went was super friendly and welcoming, which always makes a place feel even better. The wine I tried was really good, you can definitely tell it's natural wine (in a good way!). They also have small bites available if you want to snack while you drink, though we didn't end up ordering food. Parking is street parking in the area, which wasn't too difficult to find when we went. Overall it was just a really pleasant experience. If you're looking for a casual place to enjoy a glass of natural wine outside on a nice day, this is definitely a spot worth checking out.

    I absolutely loved this wine bar. Places like this are a rarity in LA County, and if you disagree,…read moreplease send recommendations my way. The fact that I've passed by this area so many times without noticing this little gem feels like a true tragedy. Though petite and easy to miss, this spot is something special. They specialize in natural wines, thoughtfully and selectively curated since they're not a winery themselves. The selection offers great variety, and because seating is limited, it's very much a first-come, first-served situation, arrive early if you want a seat. There's some indoor seating, with more available outside. The wine servers were friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable, which made the experience even better. They also host food vendors. There is a sushi spot right next door which is conveniently located next to the theater where you can score discounted bottles if you're catching a movie. Wines rotate as they sell out, so if you fall in love with one, do yourself a favor and grab a bottle before it's gone.

    Not sure if it was because of the World Cup opening day, but the place was incredibly quiet--we…read morewere the only table inside for most of the evening, with just one party seated outside. At first we were a little unsure, but the food quickly won us over. Buvons feels more like a cozy wine bar than a traditional restaurant, but that's part of its charm. The seasonal menu (which I think rotates monthly) offered some really thoughtful dishes. The asparagus was excellent, but the mussels were the star of the night. We could smell the curry broth coming from the kitchen before they arrived and immediately knew we had made the right choice. Served with frites for dipping, it was one of those simple, satisfying dishes that you keep thinking about afterward They were also streaming the Korea match and thoughtfully seated us near the projector, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Service was friendly and attentive. Would love to return with friends and enjoy their beautiful garden patio outside.

They have an awesome natural wine selection that feels super approachable and fun rather than stuffy. The space is beautiful. The owner, Alicia, is wonderful--she's super hands-on and makes everyone feel like a regular from their first visit. A huge shoutout to Luna as well; she is incredibly knowledgeable about all their wines and always helps you find something unique that you'll actually love. She could honestly sell a capri sun. They also have a delicious dinner menu, so it's the perfect place to settle in for a full meal. Whether you're a natural wine fan or just looking for a relaxed local hangout, this is the spot. So happy to have them in the community!
