Stumbled into this little hidden gem in the middle of DTLA's Financial District and immediately understood why locals probably try to keep it lowkey. The vibe is exactly what you want from a true hole-in-the-wall wine and spirits bar -- unpretentious, relaxed, full of character, and somehow feels like a neighborhood spot tucked away from all the corporate office buildings around it.The ambiance is honestly one of the best parts. Sports on the TVs, cool memorabilia everywhere, warm lighting, wood tables, beer taps lined up behind the counter -- it has that authentic downtown energy where you can actually unwind after work instead of dealing with some overpriced trendy rooftop. It feels personal and lived-in in the best way possible. Then there's the happy hour deal... $3 Stella and $5 drafts in Downtown LA is kind of insane nowadays. You almost do a double take when you see the sign because prices like that barely exist anymore, especially in the Financial District. It makes this place incredibly clutch whether you're grabbing one quick drink after work, meeting coworkers, or just trying to escape the chaos of downtown without spending a fortune.What makes it even cooler is how convenient it is. If you work anywhere around DTLA, this is exactly the kind of spot you want in your rotation -- easy to pop into, laid back, no fake scene, just good drinks and a welcoming atmosphere. Places like this are becoming rare downtown. Definitely one of those 'if you know, you know' spots. read more

Gourmet Wines and Spirits - Happy Hour! - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Came here to buy a bag of chips. The entire bag was completely stale. Come to find out, when I inspected the bag there was a slash at the bottom of the bag that was taped up! My first thought was that they cut open the box of chips with a box cutter and accidentally slashed the bag open. They really taped up the bag and put it on the shelf to sell? Isn't that illegal? They couldn't just take one bag of chips as a loss? Pretty shady. read more

This liquor store is located in Cal Market Plaza. It has a wide selection of wine & spirits, including some rare and hard to find selections. If they don't carry something, they will do their best to locate it for you. Owners Tony, Mike, & Abner are friendly and helpful. The prices are standard and they also sell mini bottles. Inside is a quaint little wine bar, and there is an outside seating area in case you want to have a glass of wine or beer to enjoy with your takeout from Mendocino Farms or another eatery nearby. Happy Hour is from open to close and features $3 Stella on draft & $5 for other drafts. Beer & Champagne are also available in the refrigerator section. read more

I've lived across this place for 11 years. I know Mike and Tony really well they're awesome guys but today I experienced something out of the ordinary and I was kind of gaslit about it which made me a little frustrated because they're your local bar watering hole with a special of three dollar draft tell us which is amazing best in the city but today I ordered three stella's and on my third stella my Chihuahua spilt 3/4 of what I had left which was very much not very much. That was my third beer. I did go get some potato chips, some pretzels and some wafers and at the end I walked out with the honey bun, but then Mike or Tone I can't remember which one the one with the beard charged me for five beers and then he tried to act as if I was drunk in the one that miscounted cause I walked up to him and I said I had three beers you said you had five beers then when you said five, I was really surprised because I didn't have five beers if he would've said four I would've understood but and then I said no I had four beers because my dog split a third one and then he said oh well you said three and I said five so now it's Four so at that point I felt very gaslit and there was just an incident before with a gentleman that returned a small packet of aspirin that was two dollars that we are to make fun of it and I told him yo I'm not gonna be that guy, but I pointed at him and I said up to coming here for 11 years and again, I feel very gaslit and uncomfortable to a place that I've been there for years. It's been a while since I've been there and it might be a while since I go back. They're very friendly inconvenient, but just keep an eye out. read more

From the exterior the business looks like a liquor store, but don't be dissuaded from entering... there is a bar inside! It's a small, quaint bar with a great happy hour as the marketing hook for the rest of the store. There are wines and beers (no spirits) available at the bar. There appears to be collectable spirits for sale in the liquor store. I say "appears" because my knowledge (outside of bourbons) is limited. The bourbons inventony (liquor store, behind the glass case) included Blantons, Elmer T. Lee, and several expressions of Weller, Maker's Mark, and Angels Envy. I read the reviews for Noe Restaurant and Bar and determined the Noe could be a good choice for a meal, but Gourmet Wina & Spirits would be a better place for a drink (or two). I was right. The beer price was phenomenal, $3 for a 12-ounce draft Stella Artois. It was the freshest-tasting pour ever. The owner, Tony, explained that they go through two to three kegs per day. read more

Given the dearth of liquor stores in DTLA, this one is good to know about ...took me a while to figure out where it is lol...have to go down into a subterrean food court type area under the Omni Hotel and museums - way in the back - they have lots of stuff and some salami/cheese snacks I get as well. On the high side for booze but you are paying for convenience and walkability. If the liquor store on 6th/Olive is closed, this is a good alternative. read more

Literally a freaking gem to find after my turkey trot 10k. Tony is the sweetest and like he said "every hour is happy hour!" $3 Stella's made this 10k worth it Can't wait to come back! read more

Bourbon prices are so high I got a nosebleed reading them. Plenty of decent bottles, all covered in dust. Great little bar to watch a game and have a beer. read more

Best hidden gem ever!! Tony is the absolute GOAT!!! Do not miss out on this amazing place. Incredible selection and top notch vibes

I visited with a gf friend, expecting a nice evening, it was anything but. The owner TONY called himself "The Tiger," made us uncomfortable with his overly suggestive and inappropriate comments and lingering stares. Avoid! Bad ambiance. Save your time and money. This is not the kind of place you want to visit. read more

This is a hidden gem. Prices are AMAZING, def recommend coming here. Service is great, everyone is super welcoming. Abner was the sweetest. Again if you're tired of spending 15 plus on a drink DEF RECOMMEND. read more

Great lil hidden gem located at the north end of Cal Plaza. They have a great selection of wine & spirits as well as the cheapest beer on tap in the area! Tony (aka, The God Father) Mr. Mike & Abner provide the best customer service you can possibly get nowadays. Looking for something you cant find, they will be quick to assist and order for you if available. Take a walk down there next time you are in Bunker Hill no matter the day. they are open till 8:00pm 24/7 most of the 365 days of the year! read more

Gourmet Wines and Spirits is steps from SOHO yoga and other shops I frequent for convenience, quality and great service. Located at the Cal Plaza tucked at the dark end is this discreet shop. During work week it's packed; inside and outside seatings are all occupied. Saturday is great, it's ghost town empty and a great day to stop in here and stock up on wine and other drinks. Service is always nice and friendly. Definitely recommend and will return. read more

Great selection of liquor and wine. Cold beer too. Beer on draught if you want to enjoy a beer on the bar. Small patio area if huh want to enjoy a glass of wine or beer outside. Theres a tv inside and in the patio with the game usually. read more

Stumbled upon this establishment while enjoying a concert at the Grand Plaza and I was pleasantly surprised. Well stocked and organized, clean, and wait.... there's a beer/wine bar inside. Score. Owner was very friendly and helpful! Great place. read more

Tucked away in a subground food court next to the Omni Hotel is the Gourmet Wine and Spirits. I was visiting the Broad and needed to kill some time before I could visit the Inifitity Room Exhibit. I came across this gem. They sell all the liquor you can imagine and the best part is that you can uncork it and enjoy it inside at their bar or on their patio with a tv. The owner was very nice and accommodating to our group. Best part is the $3 Stella drafts all day everyday. The draft was ice cold which was a huge plus. They sell some snacks but no food and since it was a Saturday the neighboring restaurant was closed. read more

Gourmet Wines and Spirits - $3 Stella draft all day everyday. Yeah! - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Wow what a hidden gem! They not only serve alcohol but are a full liquor store right in the middle of downtown. Their prices aren't too bad either considering location and convenience. It's a little tough to find, it's down stairs in a courtyard /food court type of public space, but if you find it you're gonna find something good in there read more

Nice shop! They definitely however have regulars that they'll cater to more than you if your in the shop at the same time. Have a lot of hard to find liquor- for example Belvedere product red/ which I haven't seen any shop ever carry. If your shopping for mixers make sure to check exp dates! for example sprite 2L was 8M expired but sprite 12 pack was fresh. Don't seem to check those often (and I think they're hoping you don't check either). read more

Such a great find!! Walking all day in DTLA this kind lady told us about the wine place at the end of the path.. to our thirsty surprise they had Stella on tap and stayed and chewed the fat with Tony! What a chill place to cool your dogs and grab an ice cold beer til the next train comes along ! Thank you Tony the Tiger! We will be back!! read more

I called the store and asked if they had Teremana tequila they said yes just two left so I said "okay thank you" and hung up. I rushed down to their store (since this bottle is running out quick) I got there and the nice man (I didn't get his name) said he had it on hold for me behind the counter. It was a nice gesture since i didn't ask him to hold it or anything. They also have a pretty dope set up. I'll definitely be back. read more

This place is awesome, they staff is knowledgable and friendly. I stopped by looking to a hard to find beer, they did not carry it, but they ordered it and had for me the next day! They now stock it regularly. They also have a large selection of spirits and wine, this is definitely a place I will shop often. read more

They have a wide selection of wines. They have a tiny outdoor seating area where they have items on tap. They have Friday Stella Artois for $3. I went there just to get a cheap white wine for cooking. It is a bit hidden and was a bit difficult to find. It is underneath the Omni hotel right by Medicino Farms. read more

My boyfriend and I found this place as we were walking around the Water Courts at the California Plaza. It's tucked away next to Mendocino Farms. They have a huge selection of wine, beer and of course hard liquor. If there is something in particular that you are looking for that is not there just let them know and they will do their best to get it for you. They even have Stella Artois on draft, which I like to order and sit in the little patio area they have. The guys who work there are so helpful and friendly, they definitely make every trip to the wine shop great! read more

Good vibes, $3 Stella's and the owner is really personable.. Located at 2Cal plaza, it's such a great place to take a load off. Definitely recommend this casual hidden gem!!! read more

those guys look like two Persian brothers are the most greedy and discussing attitude humans I met lately. And i'm not a typical 1 star reviewer but this place stinks like the owners. it was around lunch time and every place was busy here at the food court but this place was empty with one of the Persian guys eating lunch while being jealous about other once arround making money. it was TV hanging outside his patio and I asked if that's ok to seat on one of his "empty" chairs and watch a bit while i'm waiting for someone. He replied with full mouth of food chowing- "what you gonna order"? I do understand that he's desperate to sell something with Mendocino Farms and other good fast food around here but that was so wrong and miserable. He's desperate brother replied to me "just buy something and you can watch TV". hahahahaha. I did buy bottle water to support poor brothers business and watch some TV in empty area. Hope that the bottle water I purchase will make a difference for them... read more

Amazing service. I needed to send a case to a client and called around trying to find the exact brand of champagne our attorney wanted to send. No one had it except them, I needed 12 bottles and they only had 10 in stock, was able to pay over the phone AND have it delivered to my office, which made locating the other 2 bottles less of a process. When he arrived, he had actually found another bottle! Ran to the store that only had 1 bottle and was able to get this to the client by the end of the day/ Will definitely go to Gourmet Wines and Spirits for other client deliveries. read more

The owners are great and very friendly ! They have a variety of wine (my preference) and you can even have a drink in their patio ! Great to come before the summer concerts in DTLA !! read more
