Our family comes to Avila beach at least once a year. The wifey and I always find some time to breakaway from the kids and this has been our go-to spot for a nice cheese platter and a few drinks. Great view, friendly service. They only have a few drafts available, but the bottle list is decent. This place wins on atmosphere and a kick back time. read more

Wandered in on a slow night. Great service by Jordan. Loved the atmosphere and the range of beer and wine selections. Had the olives sampler and it was very good. read more

I stopped at this establishment while visiting this beach with a friend. They have a wonderful outside seating area with beach views. To drink we had delicious sangrias (both red and white). The staff are friendly, the bar itself was clean and cozy. They have tvs to keep you up to date on the game if needed. I will definitely stop back here next time I'm in town! read more

I spent a weekend here with my friends from who were visiting from Colorado and we stumbled on this spot. We scored the couch area with a view before the crowds came on a Saturday. We shared a small cheese plate which hit the spot just right, and some white wine. This place has a great vibe and great service. I'll definitely be back with the hubby to try the happy hour during the week! read more

PierFront wine & brew - Cheese plate was amazing, we shared a small for 3 people. - Wine Bars Near Me - Avila Beach, California

A cozy place with an oceanfront patio. We ordered the small cheese & meat plate which was enough for two people. I am not a big fan of cheese and nuts, but everything on this plate was very good including the pickled artichokes and olives. My friend said that the wine was so-so. If I come to Avila Beach again, I'll stop by here. read more

What a comfortable venue. Cozy, comfortable seating, soft lighting. Decent size list of beer, wine & sparkling wine. Service was pleasant. Ran into friends here. A great place to relax & chill for one of these many warm evenings we've been enjoying this year. Great spot for a date! I'll be back. read more

So the ambiance was probably the star of this place, but everything on the menu was also tasty. I loved the sangria, (white or red is available) and the waiter was smart and friendly. This is a great spot to grab a snack and then have a good time on the beach, or vice-versa. The front is made for people watching, and there are some couches at the front, which makes it an especially comfy experience. read more

Now what an amazing place to have a drink and relax! The service is great and knowledgeable. We enjoyed their selection of beer and wine. I found this place to be very kind and welcoming which I appreciated. They also allow dogs on the patio so our pup was happy too! read more

After a long day playing this was a PERFECT way to end our day! My boyfriend and I decided to unwind. Watch the sunset, sip on some good wine & have a bit to eat. This was EXACTLY what we were looking for. We each had a glass of the wine we like (I like sweet juice with alcohol in it and he actually likes wine) and we got 2 appetizers. Both I highly recommend, the spinach and jalapeño dip and the cheese plate. read more

Had a really nice time here...great spot to sit along the water, have a few drinks, and people watch. Friendly service and good drink selection. I'd happily go back if in town again. read more

PierFront wine & brew - Patio facing the beach - Wine Bars Near Me - Avila Beach, California

I enjoyed the moscato Bella and the view. The couch is comfortable and the staff are very welcoming. Happy hour will save you a few bucks. Worth stopping by to get out of the sun and enjoy the breeze for awhile. Love that there are games, blankets and water bowls for dogs. My only suggestion is to write pricing for the appetizers on the chalk board, along with happy hour special discounts. Not a big deal, but just didn't see it posted anywhere read more

Awesome staff. My wife and I had a great time. Great beer and wine selections and a knowledgeable staff. Very relaxing and inviting environment for couples. read more

Pierfront is hands down my favorite place on the central coast. They carry a wide variety of delicious local wines and beer at reasonable prices. Most importantly, this place makes me feel like I'm at home. Their staff is truly the best of the best. I happily drive more than an hour once a week just to wind down and relax here. This place really makes me feel like I'm surrounded by family. Check out their Thursday night comedy night, it's a hilarious time! read more

Our office went to Avila for a staff retreat and was rudely treated at the restaurant next door when we stopped by for a glass of wine, so we went here and it was the best! So friendly, relaxing atmosphere and great service! read more

No hospitality whatsoever .. small draft selection .. not memorable... this place made me feel depressed

I've been here twice for wine and appetizers. The ambiance is really nice- It's got a living room vibe with couches and chairs and even board games to play. We've had flatbreads and panini sandwiches, and both were delicious. The prices are fair for the location, which has a stunning beachfront view. Great addition to the Avila food and drink scene. read more

Awesome place to stop and Chill. Good wine, good cheese tray , good music and good views read more

PierFront wine & brew - View from the 'Couch' - Wine Bars Near Me - Avila Beach, California

Beautiful location. They are not offering wine tasting or happy hour but the service was nice and a decent selection of wine and beer. I appreciate that they have both options so my husband who likes beer and myself who likes wine, can both be happy! read more

PierFront is always a perfect place to enjoy wine tasting and grab a bite to eat. You can not beat their view while enjoying an afternoon in Avila. I want to give a big shout out to Amanda for being such a gracious host! She is knowledgeable about the wines and offers excellent recommendations. We had a large group on a busy weekend and she very attentive to every single customer. We are already looking forward to our next visit! read more

Best spot in Avila Beach for cold beer, great local wines, beautiful decor and awesome views. I could stay all day. Super friendly atmosphere and yummy bites. Plus locals get a discount on Mondays! A new favorite! read more

Wonderful waterfront meeting place, great service, comfortable, friendly. For a special event you can rent the whole place. A favorite.

Great service and atmosphere. Britaney is running a very nice, classy wine/beer bar. Will definitely revisit!!!

Such a great space to chill and catch the sunset, sip on some wine, and enjoy the view! Amazing selection of wine and beers, yummy nibbles, and a friendly staff! Such an inviting space...I always bring my parents here when they visit. Definitely a gem of the Central Coast! Btw ask for America, she's the best! read more

Me and my wife popped in for a few drinks on Valentine's Day on our way up to Monterey, the guy working was super knowledgable and really made our night, I'm completely blanking on his name but he was blonde and wore glasses! Hope he gets the credit he deserves! Overall we had a great time in a lovely little bar with the best view, highly recommend this little gem! read more

Cozy & cute. My boyfriend and I love to relax, have a glass a wine and enjoy a perfect view. It's nice that we can actually have a drink and enjoy one another's company. Prices are reasonable. The Sangria could have been better, I felt like it was very watered down. read more

My husband and I were refused service because we had our 5 month old son asleep in his stroller and no one under the age of 21 is allowed in. With how family friendly the central coast is and all of the wine bars and breweries we have been to allowing children, it was a bit off putting, and irritating since we just wanted a place to put our feet up and enjoy a drink. read more

I love coming here. It's always so welcoming. The service is good and friendly. The wine selection is great and food is perfect with the wine. And you can't beat the view read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! Stellar service by Val and Amanda. Fantastic ambiance and location. Wide variety of choices on the menu at affordable pricing. Will definitely keep coming back! :) read more

Great wine/beer bar with relaxed vibe and alert service. Excellent wine selection and green flash on tap! Nice stop in on a Friday farmers market.. read more

My wife and I received no service after we got our drinks at the bar, opened a tab, and sat down outside. The place was a little busy, but, people were being served and asked if they wanted a refills. I'm talking like 1 foot away! I'm very patient, but after about 30 minutes after our drinks were finished, I paid the tab and left. Was it because we were the only Mexicans there? That's the only reason I could think of. We are celebrating our 33rd Anniversary and we like places like this where we can relax with a drink and be next to the beach. This place has left a bad taste in my mouth. After we left we went down the street to The Ocean Grill to continue with a few drinks and have dinner. The service there was night and day compared to Pier Front. 5 stars! Plus there food was excellent! read more

Not the ideal place if you like wine and want to have good experience. First I came during "happy" hour, they have wine by the glass and I asked how much do you pour for that $11 a glass of wine that cost $16/bottle down the street. The server Nicole (nice young girl) said the glass is 8 oz, well I took a picture because I have been in the wine industry for 8 years and she poured me around 2.5-3 oz of Pinot Noir (not very impressive Mark West out of aluminum keg, and I asked her "is that 8 oz" she got a bit confused and then said yes. I paid for the glass and sat upfront. While I was there I overheard a few conversations about their beers being ok - but double priced, food so-so etc. Avila Beach offers 8-10 different wine tasting rooms, so grab a map if you up for legit wine tasting, but if you want just to try different wines from all over the California (from $2 chuck to $20 - being sold at $18-40) "Pier Front Wine & Brew" is ok, it's sadly not worth your time if you a wine connoisseur like me. Here are the pictures, look at the "8 oz." glass - no more words just a little smile :) read more

Bummer to have to give this place such a low score! But service is a direct correlation of any restaurant. We came here to get some snacks between wine tasting, and our waitress forgot our flatbread order...three times. I get that she might be new, but she literally came up and asked what we were waiting for 3 times. And after all that, she brought us the wrong flatbread. In between, she said she would bring us more crackers for our spinach dip, those never came . We also got our first order of food before our drinks came. We only ordered beer and wine, so no clue how that happened. She also couldn't explain what was in the white blend we ordered. If this is the right representation of this place, I wouldn't recommend coming here. read more

This place was awesome and the service was great. Cutest place on the strip that we could find. Had a few glasses of wine during happy hour and sunset. Will definitely be returning when back in town. Waitress/bartender made our experience extremely enjoyable. read more

Great views, decent happy hour deals. Would have liked a little more information about what was being offered the day we went. Also, Felt a bit embarrassed upon ordering a pitcher of sangria, as the girl seemed shocked I was ordering that much to drink. I am not doing a chugging contest, I plan on taking my time there admiring the pristine ocean, and sharing with my friend. Overall, I will definitely come back to people watch with a drink in my hand! read more

This place is expensive considering the poor service. I really wanted to like it here because it has such a great location, but nothing impressed about this place. read more

Been here a couple times and have had a pleasant experience up until our recent visit. Came here around 5pm on that day, and it wasn't too busy. My mother and I grabbed a high top patio table and ordered a glass of wine and cheese and meat plate at the bar. Didn't get our glass of wine until 20 minutes later. Asked our server Molly about the cheese plate, and she said it'd be coming out shortly. After 45 minutes, our cheese and meat plate never arrived so we cancelled the order. I would've understood the long wait had it been overly busy, but it wasn't. A little disappointed in the service :( read more

Beautiful views! yummy appetizers and lovely wine! Its nice and quiet with a chill vibe. we got the small meat and cheese board and it was worth the price! read more
