    I was walking by and the friendly smile and wave from the owner caught our attention so we walked inside. This is a very bad with nice decor that serves great beer and wine. The owner name is Brian (such a nice guy and I enjoyed speaking with him). I tried the rose wine and beer .... Delicious. They have great music selection (something for everyone) and Friday nights are karaoke nights. I cannot wait to come back! Tell a friend to tell a friend..... amazing place!

    I found my new favorite chill spot--The Aftermath Lounge! I visited on a Friday at 1:30 PM and loved the relaxed atmosphere, allowing me to people watch, work, drink, and linger at my own pace. The vibes were laid-back, enhanced by a great playlist and multiple TVs. I had a great conversation with Brandon, the owner, who was bartending and offered excellent recommendations. I ordered a refreshing glass of the Slap & Tickle IPA -- Their selection of wine and brews is perfect, not overwhelming but a good range! The space is clean, refreshing, and smells great--definitely upgraded features yet low-key vibes. Plus, they've partnered with Mardi Gras Tuesday down the street for delicious cuisine--another fantastic local gem! I can't wait to return for NFL Sunday with their all-day happy hour and to check out their karaoke nights. Highly recommend this welcoming Sherman Oaks spot!

    Strolled in on a Sunday after hitting valley grounds coffee to watch some football. Brian was incredibly hospitable and had the sound on for the Pats/9ers game, always a plus. Such a lovely surprise with a great selection of draft beers and wine. Hope to see them again soon!

The host really pulls you in and makes sure you're enjoying yourself. con: Open bar..... not quite, there's a sign that says $4.00 donation per drink. Which is fine, but don't call it an OPEN BAR. Because if you don't have your $4 the bartender will point to the sign and let you know what the sign says, then give you a weird look like where's my money. In my case, I put whatever cash I had in my pocket in the tip jar ($3)... the bartender took the money out the jar opened it up to count it (in front of everyone), then proceeded to point to the sign that says $4. he says "you see that sign" ........ ok ....ok... my bad ....i'll remember drinks are $4. I'm just saying ..... don't call it open bar. All in all GREAT SHOW, I highly recommend it..... drinks are $4

Upon entering I was very impressed with the ample cocktail style seating and large stage the venue offered. It actually had a supper club feel, once the host and the live band took to the stage. I signed up for the open mic, and and had a wonderful experience reciting my poem. I have been a repeat guest ever since. The artist that performed were very talented. The show was interactive and entertaining, as the host has the audience participate in games and activities throughout the night. My favorite is where the DJ and the band battle each other. In this game, the audience picks a song and the DJ has to play the song on the turn tables, and then the band has to play the same song with their instruments or vice versa. The audience then votes for either the DJ or the band. Can I just say "AMAAAZING!!!" The open wine and vodka bar was a great BONUS. There is a suggested tip of $4.00 for premium liquor, such as tequila. Where else can you get a Margarita for under $5.00? My suggestion is to bring cash or drink wine or vodka, if you don't want to give the bartender a decent tip for a free drink. I definitely recommend The Red Light Lounge to anyone looking for a GREAT evening . I'll be celebrating my birthday there in November with friends and family. Don't take my word for it...come out and see for yourself. Hope to see you there!

    Great wines and good times at Haley's Wines!…read more Popped in today to pick up a little gift for bae, wine and dark chocolate for a night in? Yes, please :) Everyone hanging out at the bar was super fun and friendly. And the super cool staff here is extra thoughtful. The have a very unique selection of red, white, rose and sparkling, including some skin contact (Orange wine), seltzers and other beverage gems in their multi-door fridge/cold box near the front end of Haley's. Incredible places to sit and lounge throughout. Feels like a slice of home, but everyone is invited and there's wine! Think I need a work day here or several. Perfect place for a day or night time sip, thoughtful snacks on their menu and to enjoy with a friend or two. Lots of vegan friendly finds and as an also Wine Specialist for 15 years I know my way around wine and love discovering new labels as well as ones from all over the world. Local, Hungarian, Argentinian, French, Italian, Haley's has a little of it all. Haley also supports the community in a big way with a cool bulletin area and display showcasing lots of services, business cards and local happenings. Easy stroll from North Hollywood station, LA Metro services and parking garages. Street parking is around, side streets and further up can be your friend, but if you know this part of North Hollywood in the NoHo Arts District, you know parking can be a journey. Rideshare is fairly easy here. And when having a glass a two, drinking responsibly is also good for you. Restroom available for customers. Wine Shop neon sign is something I need to see more in my life. Not to mention all the great artwork for sale on their walls. Open Wednesday through Sunday as early as 2PM during weekdays and as early as Noon on weekends. Closing hour vary on special nights and pop ups, such as Trivia Thursdays (open until 9pm), or that cool Dumpling Pop up that was happening the day I popped in. Good vibes, upright piano and perfect lighting that's waiting for you. Haley's Wines is top tier fun, classes, special events and then some, so raise a glass and cheers to this gem waiting for you!

    This place keeps getting better everytime I pop in here. I swung by in 2023 when it just opened up…read moreand so cool to see this place doing well with regulars. There's wine, beer, sake, small bites (tin fish and crackers) without being pretentious. Everything is affordable and Hayley's good at recommendations if you're up front about what you usually like. The owner is always up to something busy but stays chill and available for all her customers. One time, I dropped by and someone was covering for her and this person was just meh - idk if they were just having a rough day or they didn't like me, but I didn't feel like hanging around to figure out. Folks who are regulars here seem like really nice down to earth folks you wanna be friends with. That's really nice to have a staple watering hole.

    My fiancee and I wanted something new to do so we went to Paint Nite at Coral Tree Cafe in Encino…read more We arrived early so parking was easy peasy. We were immediately greeted by our instructor Michael Falk. He's a very warm and personable military veteran. He was a big part of what made Paint Nite so fun! He kept things lively by cracking lots of jokes, made toasts throughout the night while wearing his kilt, and took his time to come to every painter to make sure everyone was having a good time. We painted "Galaxy At Pine Lake". As much as I love art, I can't do it if my life depended on it! Thankfully the painting was broken down into more-or-less easy parts to work on at a time so that by the end everything comes together. My painting still came out no better than a 10 year old's but I had a lot of fun! Paint Nite's so much fun and is definitely worth checking out if you're on a date, out with friends, celebrating your birthday, or just want something different to try. Everything's provided for you (paint, brushes, canvas, water, apron, paper towel) so all you need to bring is a positive attitude! Always show up early though so you can sit near the front and get some food/drinks before it starts!

    I have attended two pain nights first one amazing and second one not so much…read more First time it was a small group and the teacher went slow to our pace and would talk around and ask how we were doing and would show us close up. Second time around it was far but I chose that night for the painting we would do. So I didn't mind. But this time around it was a hug group. We got there 10 min late so we got the worst seats. Witch I understand was our fault. But the teacher would go super fast and wouldn't come around to explain and Didn't have communication with us about how we were doing or if we needed help. I wouldn't mind giving it one more try because my first time was amazing but I definitely didn't like the last experience I had. The teacher was so out of touch with his students.

Event was held next to the parking lot; you see the entrance pathway. Staff members were helpful with check-ins, and I received my nice wine glass/dish upon checking in.

The weather was perfect too. Couldn't ask for more. Overall, since it was a much smaller event, it felt like I was able to taste most of the spirits available.

    I had been wanting to attend this event for a long time, so I was excited to finally experience it…read more This event supports ONEgeneration and the programs and services they provide for older adults and young children, which made the day feel even more meaningful.

That said, what they offered was still very well done. It was so nice having so many great San Fernando Valley spots all in one place. I spent most of my time walking from booth to booth, trying everything, sipping, snacking, and going back for more. Every booth delivered. The atmosphere was also a highlight. There was music playing, people were having fun, and the overall energy was so positive. Parking was very easy and free, with a large lot right next to the event, which is always a major plus. Overall, it was a nice event for a great cause.
