    Inside of the wine bar

    We were in Monterey for my birthday and wanted to have a relaxing night at a wine bar. We walked by Sovino and thought it looked cute so we planned to walk down the pier and when we headed back, the whole atmosphere had changed and there was my boyfriend's favorite thing: karaoke!! The staff and other patrons were SO NICE!! We are not local but everyone was including us to sit at their tables, join their conversations, and the nicest guy ever even bought us a bottle of wine to take home!! I truly could not believe our luck finding the most fun and welcoming place at the start of the weekend. We definitely plan to come back in the summer and bring some friends who also love karaoke - we had an incredible time!!

    Wine is really good. Our server Cass was super nice and sweet and also full of knowledge. Super cute and comfy place.

    Cute little bar in Downtown Monterey! They have a wide selection of wines & snacks! The customer service was 10/10. Can't wait to go back!

    Was looking for some wine tasting options in Monterey and this came up with trivia the night we were in town! I love trivia but I've only ever done it at breweries so I was excited to try it out at a wine bar. It's a cute spot with different seating options and a great menu of wines and snacks. I did a flight that I curated from the menu and all of them were delicious. Trivia was also super fun! I would definitely come back either for trivia, one of their other events or just for a tasting. Located in a convenient spot too!

    Just moved to Monterey and met the owner at another local spot. She was very down to earth and welcomed us to join in pumpkin carving the next day. The wine selection was great and the conversation with other customers inside made it feel like home. Will definitely be going back!

    The best service! Thank you Harry!

    First time to this wine bar and I was greeted by Harry my goodness this young gentleman was such a friendly man I instantly felt welcomed I ordered a glass of Sovino Pinot noir I asked him for a recommendation for food and told him to surprise me PROSCUITTO BRIE PANINI was what he brought out and my goodness I was not disappointed! The wine was great, the food was great and the customer service that Harry brought was amazing!

    My go-to spot for drinks! I'm usually in here to study for school with a nice beer…read more A good variety of beer to choose from and their listing updates very frequently. If you don't want anything from tap and/or want a beer to go for home, they have a refrigerated section that you can choose from. They have food vendors almost every day of the week. They also host trivia every Wednesday. A majority of the festivals and events that happen in Seaside & Sand City, Post No Bills is usually at the center of it all!!

I had a flight of four tasty brews. And here is the rundown- *Passion Fruit, Other Fruit, 5.8% ABV 10/10, Delicious! *Faction Red-Red Ale, 5.8% ABV 8/10, Slightly bitter upon first sip but smoother as you drink more. *Lager from Occidental 4.2% 10/10 Super light and fresh and refreshing. Also, fun! *Funky Foeder Cherry Sour Ale from Russian River. 7% ABV If you are not a sour fan you may not like this one. But I personally loved it! Next I enjoyed a half serve of Hazed and Confused IPA Hazy out of Paso Robles. 6% ABV. 10/10 Delicious. Originally I was hoping to find Socks and Sandals from Humble Sea but the server said they have a hard time keeping that in stock and recommended this one. 100% reminded me of that flavor. Plenty of cans to choose from and a food truck showing up as I was leaving. Loads of parking here too. Highly recommend having a DD or of course NOT driving after coming here. I suggest a walk around the neighborhood and enjoying all the murals. Enjoy life and drink good beer. Cheers! SYOY!

Yet the ambiance, service, and food are very good! I love the various aspects of the decor, as well. Other than parking challenges on a busy night in the downtown, we were lucky to get a table for 5 relatively quickly, as this place isn't that large, with some additional bar seating, and it seems very popular. 5:30 was a great time, as we watched the waiting line grow longer after we were seated. Our server, Michael J., did a great job of greeting us, providing menus, and taking initial drink orders while we decided what to try. We decided to try BBQ honey wings, fried artichoke hearts, and onion rings for appetizers. The main courses were two orders of kids' cheese pizza and tater tots, a small dinner salad, a cup of New England-style clam chowder, and a NY Steak sandwich. The food came in a reasonable time, with appetizers and salad first, then the rest. The apps were good, but the onion rings were a bit greasy. The honey wings were well-liked, as well as the artichoke hearts, which, strangely, were not oily like the onion rings. Yummy! The cheese pizzas paired with tater tots were certainly different, but the pizza was more like a reheated frozen pizza. The tots were okay. The NY Steak sandwich was good as well, with a side of steak fries - obviously! Overall, we enjoyed the meal and would definitely consider dining here in the future when in town.
