I come here as often as I can and it's always a wonderful, special experience, even more so when Elyssa (sp?) is the server! The charcuterie boards here are perfection, do not sleep on it and be sure to savor the onion jam. That said, one of my favorite things to get is the roasted root vegetable plate, that combo with the yogurt and honey is some fine dining action, though you should absolutely skip adding the sausage. Getting a flight is usually the way I go, but then I often end up getting a full glass of my favorite from there. Such a gem in DTC and I hope it stays forever! read more

This is a great place for after work happy hour in a casual ambiance. I came here for birthday drinks with my family before we headed to dinner nearby. The location has a spacious area filled with a variety of wine options. I picked a Bourgogne Chardonnay from France ($36). We came on a late Monday afternoon and, lucky for us, they have a bar special on Mondays: No corkage fee! They also have Happy Hour-- Monday to Friday from 3-6pm. The Chardonnay was divine! I would totally return and purchase another bottle. We also ordered a charcuterie board and took advantage of their happy hour special for $20 (pick two-- one cheese and one meat). We opted for the 'Humboldt Fog' Chèvre as our cheese option and the Bresaola for our meat option. Both were delicious, but the chèvre was truly exquisite. We shared one charcuterie board with five people and it was enough; however if you're on the hungry side, I suggest two charcuterie boards for five or six people. In addition to meat and cheese, it comes with crackers, some pickled veggies, onion jam, candied nuts, whole grain Dijon, and apple slices. On the left side of the venue you have your variety of wine options; on the right side, there's the bar and some tables, plus a small area with other snacks for purchase that pair nicely with wine or beer. They even sell the Torres truffle chips! My only complaint is the service, unfortunately. The lady at the cashier was super friendly, however the bar tender was not so welcoming. When he came over to our table to open our wine bottle, he didn't greet us, smile, or say anything. He took our bottle and opened it and then asked who was going to taste. Not sure if he thought we didn't speak English since we were speaking another language when he came to our table, but overall, we all noticed his attitude and thought it was rather unwelcoming. Because of this experience, I rate this place a 4/5, however, everything else was great! read more

This place is always full and I know why. Their food is severely underestimated. It is that good. Perhaps not to the usual wine bar flavoring where they tend to be on the saltier side to promote the wine drinking. I love the chefs palette on their food. Plus their proportions are much more than other high end restaurants. But with the same quality. They have great selections of wine and bottles for takeout. The service is also great. The tables are communal so that might be a turn off for some. It's first come first serve which I like. I think they should expand their sit down/bar area to the other sections. Or expand the patio area if they can. I think it's that good. read more

Stanley's Wet Goods is a great wine bar where locals can peruse the aisles of their extraordinarily large selection of wine, check out beer options in the fridge, purchase some niche cheeses, chocolates, crackers and other items for your charcuteries. High bar shared seating inside but tables outside. They also have a riddle of the day posted above the bar which is fun to solve when you're a little buzzed. Everyone is nice, knowledgeable and non pretentious. The staff has encouraged me to try so many different wines I wouldn't normally do for fear of looking like a noob. I've enjoyed a wide range of wines from an orange one day, a pinot next, a buttery Chardonnay or a spicy Syrah. Every time I'm there it's a fun experiment. :) If you're a lightweight like me, I'd suggest eating a meal beforehand because the menu is pretty light. Street parking or structure in downtown culver is available. You can try the local neighborhoods for free parking, just don't park by my place! lol read more

Nice variety of well made artisan pantry items although familiar brands to someone who is around a lot of artisan food. Wide variety of interesting wines at accessible prices although I found the wines available by the glass largely crowd pleasers and predictable than interesting. About a ten minutes walk from the metro. Staff we accommodating to tasting a wine before purchasing a glass. Half glass pours are available. read more

Stanley's Wet Goods is a wine, beer, and liquor store and bar that is well-curated and surprisingly not too expensive. The staff here is all very knowledgable, which is helpful because I'm terrible at picking wines or knowing what to buy for gifts. If you give them a general idea of what you're looking for or what you like at the regular store, they'll know what to get. The food here is all fine but I would stick to drinks if you're sitting at the bar. It's a great space and date night spot! read more

Stopped by Stanley's Wet Goods for the first time and was really impressed! The place has such a cool, relaxed vibe -- definitely not your average wine shop. The staff was super friendly and helped me pick out a bottle after I admitted I had no idea what I was looking for . They've got a great selection of wines (lots of natural options and smaller producers) and even let you taste a few things before deciding, which was awesome. Prices were reasonable too -- I walked out with something unique without spending a ton. Only small downside is parking can be tricky, and it got a little busy while I was there, but honestly that's a good sign. I'll for sure be coming back to try a few more things! read more

Mother's Day walk-in for four at around 2:45pm. Table available outside immediately, so a bit of street noise. Service was steady and friendly. Answered our drink questions very well. Recommend the Sistine Spritz from the sparkling wine list. Very refreshing. I liked that the food menu wasn't too overwhelming to choose from. Daughter and I shared Meatball & Mozz sandwich with a side of salad and a cheese and charcuterie board, two choice version ( one cheese, one cured meat). A lot of food, and nicely prepared. Ham and cheese plus side of olive oil chips was well-received. read more

Staff is awesome and the selection of wine and beer is unlike any place in LA.. they even have food and gift packs. This place is a hidden gem and cute place read more

This place is such a vibe! A huge selection of wine to choose from - and you can even drink the bottle you buy right there if you want to. My friends and I got happy hour and the orange wine was delish! The chicken sandwich on focaccia bread was also to die for. Super friendly staff who ended up giving my friend a free glass on the house because it was her bday. Def will be back. read more

I've gotten some really incredible wines here (and splurged and got some tinned fish too). Stanley's is perfect for a nice bottle of wine with an impressive collection and all the accommpaniments you could want for some wine and chacuterie. But they also have a little bar to order from which is so fun! I got the charcuterie for happy hour and was super happy and some wines. It's rare to find a HH in LA these days! The bartender / wine-tender?? was also fantastic and helpful. A great place to relax and have a glass of wine with a great vibe. read more

Nice relaxed ambiance, a good mix of indoor and outdoor seating, bar seating and regular tables. Mixed crowd w/friends hanging out, date-night couples, working on the laptop after work types...wish they had a more extensive wine list by the glass that included some Napa wines, but I enjoyed my time here! There were some standard charcuterie options as well as some heartier dishes that you don't always find in this type of setting. Would come back to hang out! read more

I love stopping by here for the nice ambience and grabbing a wine flight. Their charcuterie board is pretty good, with the pickled veggies being my favorite addition in it. It's a small shop, but nice, welcoming and modern. Service is pretty quick and I'm always surprised by the different wines. Fun place to check out! read more

Came here for a work dinner and had a lovely time. The staff was great, very attentive and very helpful with organizing our group. The wine and food were both delicious-- highly recommend the toast with Brie and onion jam. I also loved the table we were sat at inside, but the patio looks great and I would love to give it a try. Definitely will be back here read more

Casual weeknight date night spot. I went w my friend. She's not a wine person and I'm just now getting into wine. We ordered the flight for like $15 I think. I'm not well educated on what notes I should be aware of but they got us tipsy and the lighting was def moody. There's a communal table then a few 2 person set tables. I enjoyed it. I'd prob go here to people watch on a date. If I was single, I'd def grab a glass on a Friday and look mysterious at the bar. read more

Went here to look a wine. The person who greeted me was rude and standoffish. Gave me the up and down, didn't like that. They didn't even have the wine I was looking for. I tried to look at other options but they were staring daggers at me. Idk what that was about. I hope it's not a weird racism reason (I'm brown) and maybe I just "looked" like I didn't belong there. I was super uncomfortable and left empty handed. To be faire though this entire area is kind of like that. read more

This place has amazing food. Service is good. Parking is tricky. Depends on what day and what time. Usually you will find street parking on front of the shop. Food wise very reasonable price. Amazing simple food with heart and love. Very purée you can taste the original ingredients. Me and my wife love it. Recommend any of the sandwiches and cheese salads. Wine. You won't go wrong with any of them. Beautiful wine shop with indoor and outdoor seating. Very recommended. read more

I've been coming to Stanley's Wet Goods for over 6 years now, and it's still one of my favorite spots in Culver City. Whether I'm stopping by to grab a bottle from their fantastic selection of natural wines or settling in at the bar for a drink, it's always a good time. It's the perfect place to catch up with a friend, bring a group, or enjoy a low-key date night. The vibe is warm, relaxed, and never pretentious. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and helpful when it comes to wine recommendations, they've never steered me wrong and the price points are refreshingly accessible. Between the great atmosphere, thoughtful selection, and consistently friendly service, Stanley's really is the neighborhood wine bar you wish every neighborhood had. read more

Please tell Spencer that the wine he recommended paired so well with pancakes that I think I actually might have a new favorite combination? Need to try with crepes to see if the full French experience can be had. I walked in with barely an idea of what I wanted and Spencer helped me find the wine that not only paired with my meal, but my budget as well as my palate. Also had no idea that there was a little restaurant in here. Definitely need to come back to experience that when Spencer is working so we can talk more about wines and astrology! read more

Great selection of natural wines, sours, and craft beer! I came to meet my friends for lunch. It was nice and quiet. The food is fresh and basic, though solid because of the quality ingredients. We got the charcuterie, a few sandwiches, and the blood orange and burrata salad. Free parking isn't so great here unless you use the paid garage. There's metered parking on Venice. If you come here on Sunday, the meter is free. read more

Very French - Rustic American Very Premium Chic Very High End, VIP Exclusive, Snake Juice. In my imagination: the person who owns this establishment, grew up on a farm with a good, loving, beautiful overworked mother and a hardworking encouraging father. He has six siblings and he's the 4th of the seven. When he reached 18, he set off for the big city. Got a scholarship to NYU and majored in international macro economics. He met and fell in love with a girl from a rich Old Greenwich, Connecticut family who was lured by his intelligence and country charm. He was inspired by her zest for life, confidence, and unbridled curiosity. Post graduation, they took a wine and gustation tour around the world. During a wine tasting in Rome, they were robbed at knife point by a gang of peasants and they suffered a tragedy that shall never be spoken of. It ripped them apart. Heartbroken, she returned to her family. Shortly thereafter, he learned that his father was ill. He returned to the farm and realized that it was in bad shape. He used all the knowledge he gained while he was in New York City to turn his family farm into a wild success using social media and becoming the most desirable farm-to-to table supplier. He opened this shop, hoping one day, she would walk in, run into his arms, and renew their love. I ordered the Meatball and Mozzarella sandwich. It was served on toasted focaccia and accompanied by a gem lettuce salad with a delicate pine nut dressing. I also enjoyed two morning glasses of 2022 Domaine Herve Azo Petit Chablis, Burgundy, France. This visit was everything. I hope they are overwhelmed with patrons. Sidequest notes: 1. They offer Californian, French, Italian, and Spanish Wines 2. Customer Service is 10/10 3. Vibe is 10/10 read more

This place is a good place to grab some happy hour wine with friends. Three of us came here as walk-ins around 5pm and initially were unsure if we should seat ourselves or wait for someone. There ended up being some space at a long (shared) table indoors. The ambience is definitely cute, but not super intimate if that's what you're looking for. The charcuterie board was excellent & I had the red blend wine which was also delish from the happy hour menu. We didn't see any real food on the menu besides sandwhiches which nobody was in the mood for. But luckily being centrally located in Culver City, there were plenty of other restaurants we could choose from for something substantial. Overall the experience was fine and not too expensive, but happy hour is a busy time so also don't expect full service. read more

I love the vibes here! We always find street parking pretty quickly. The guy at the front is so helpful and helped us find the exact kind of white wine we were looking for. We wanted a natural wine that was dry and had a watery aftertaste and he totally understood our mission. I was craving Stellar pretzels and they happened to sell the exact flavor I was craving! They have an extensive variety of wines to choose from, reasonable prices, and an inviting & electric vibe full of happy people in deep conversations. I've come here twice to pick up bottles of natural wine but it was also a pleasant experience sitting down and enjoying the quick wine tasting flight on the menu. The service is always great! read more

This rating is specific to the NYE experience here and I would give 3.5 if I could. The good - the woman who handled our reservation and helped when we arrived was so lovely! She was warm and friendly and apologetic when our table wasn't ready and gave us complimentary champagne to make up for the inconvenience. The food was delicious with the standout being the bread pudding! We also purchased a bottle from the shop side and the woman who helped us with the wine was great, listened to our palette and gave some good recommendations. The vibe was fun too, they had balloons and a step & repeat with NYE props. The bad - it took awhile to get service and the server seemed like he didn't want to be there. As we approached midnight, we got asked by a different server about ordering champagne and asked what the complimentary one was we had earlier. Our server said oh we're not doing a complimentary toast for midnight this year. So we ordered 2 glasses of the one he quoted that we had earlier. Turns out they did pass around complimentary glasses at midnight and then after when we got the bill, the 2 glasses were $50. That felt so sneaky, I highly doubt the complimentary ones earlier were a $25/glass price tag since a) they were complimentary and b) all the sparkling options on their menu are $14-$16. It was a fun place to celebrate the new year but ended on such a sour note. read more

Amazing selection of wines! I went with a friend who is a wine expert and even she was impressed. The service is great, but I will say I wish there was more of a food selection. And just beware, the place can get very noisy and crowded with all of that wine flowing! read more

I really love this wine bar! I think we need more of them in LA. It's both a cute wine shop as well as a bar. They have cute bites/plates to share and a good wine menu. You can do it by the bottle or buy wine flight. They also do have beers if that's what you want. The ambience is cute in that they have both indoor and outdoor seating, but it does fill up. The service is good, but the staff do get busy with all the different parties sharing communal tables. I also do love their selection of their wine shop and love getting recommendations from the staff! read more

I highly recommend this wine bar if you're in the area. The staff there are very confident & knowledgeable about their wine selections whether the price point is low, medium, or high. I always come home enjoying what I've purchased. I love that they have all kinds of different varietals of wine from different regions of the old world & new world. They also serve lunch & dinner menu, cheese & charcuterie, beer & wine flights if you decide to dine there. The ambiance is cute as they got indoor/out seating.

Wednesday is a great night to visit Stanley's Wet Goods in Culver City if you enjoy wine tasting flights at local wine bars. SERVICE:Amy did an amazing job with our group of 9 and I hope that she's our server every time we return. She did an amazing job at checking in on everyone at multiple points, making sure we always had enough drinks by checking in as we were getting low, refilling water, and everything we ordered came out correctly and deliciously. ATMOSPHERE: I love that they have a wine bar on one side and a wine shop on the other. The vibe is upscale casual, with seating on a first-come, first-serve basis. They have an outdoor area with regular tables and the indoor section has both a bar and two large communal tables. I absolutely love the vibe and have for the past few years. WINE: They have a great wine selection with a wide array of options. We did the Wednesday Night Special flight for $21 (my favorite number) which included 3 tastings of drastically different Pinot Noirs from around the world that all come out at once so you can do a true side-by-side comparison. FOOD: They have a menu with curated items that are meant to be shared, and the top three I recommend are the meatballs ($18), baby beets ($16), and smashed potatoes ($14). As a goat cheese connoisseur, I recommend everyone get the sweet Baby Beets, with marinated red baby beets, aged Cabernet Sauvignon vinegar, whipped honey goat cheese + mascarpone, candied pecans, and micro arugula greens. The smashed potatoes had a good kick from the capers, and they pair with their house-made beef and ricotta meatballs. read more

I went here with a friend on a Wednesday afternoon around 5 pm and we had a great time. There are two large tables inside plus a bar, along with a few tables outside on the patio. We decided to sit inside since it was cold that evening. Their kitchen opens at 5, but you can still get cold plates prior to the kitchen opening. Their happy hour is 1-7PM M-F. Happy hour includes $10 glasses of wine and 1 meat + 1 cheese charcuterie for $16. We ordered both and also got meatballs to share. The wine was tasty and the food was good! Their portions seemed pretty big overall - meatballs came with 5 meatballs and 4 pieces of bread. They also offer flights for $21 (3 drinks) which I'll have to try next time. Would definitely come again. They have a very cute little corner that has knickknacks for a home bar, cheeses, bitters, chocolates and other goodies. They also have cans of beer for sale. Street parking only. Found a meter out front that was $1/hr. read more
