I came on a Thursday evening to hear my high school buddy play guitar. His name is Michael Grange. He played some gypsy riffs and the man shreds on guitar. This is a very cute little wine lounge and art gallery. The service was very good. Our server's name was E.B. She was sweet and attentive. We had onion rings, jalapeño poppers, and a small charcuterie. We're not wine drinkers so we had beer. The people at the surrounding tables were nice enough to let me take pictures of their food and give me their opinions.

I was walking, to reach the needed dose of the daily 10,000, and I pass the Artistry. I did not know it was there, until a comedian told me so. For you see, as I passed the outside of the Artistry a comedian/MC stopped me and explained that the spot was having a comedy night. Truth be told, comedy shows are simply not my choice of sport. However, the MC tried to convince me of the value of the show with an honest attempted that I respected. And thus I paid the 5.00 dollars and entered, I was ready to laugh and hope that the comedians would fulfill the hope. Additionally, entering the Artistry would provide me a lounge to wait for my friend that was coming to pick me up, in about an hour or so. As soon, as I entered the Artistry I was pleasantly surprised. It was a cool, inviting, elegant spot that was hidden from sight. It is the type of place that you only find when the winds of chance whisk you into a moment that impact and build your life. I will be the first one to admit that the winds of chance did not take me to Oz from Kansas, but they did take me to a welcome respite of people and opportunity. And at a more grounded level, I know now where to go if I have a wine-friend visit or I need a non-rowdy bar for peace and quiet. The place is a mash-up of modern appliances, contemporary art and pieces from days gone by. It is both eclectic and like a backyard sale of a Hollywood starlet. She accumulated trophies and bobbles of worth and next to the mat they are displayed on, you also see the junk she accumulated thought-out her life. In one of my pictures I show a tv that played maybe operatic music. It was signing with word that hit a deep range. This picture also has one of those fans that no longer have blades. The wind comes from an oval shape--- modern science. Another picture shows a Native American picture with a full headdress. It would be dynamic on a runway. Another picture shows a painting that seemed to be one of those famous food stills. So yeah, the collection that makes up the them decor is broad. I can only describe it as a wine cellar that was decorated by three friends, each of them with their own style. The friends were also young, like early 20s, so their taste and vision had not crystallized within them so there was no way they could take their three styles and make it one song in the same key. I also noticed that the menu had the word with misspelled. The typo added to the magic and hodgepodge of the place. Maria who works there, was a gem, a treasure, and the Hope diamond. I twisted my ankle a bit and it hurt to move, hence the stroll around town and not a hike to reach a top. I asked her to pour me a glass of water because I was sitting down, and getting up to reach the table, would make the pain amp up. She served me water and I apologized for being too needy as a customer who had become a patient. She then asked me if she could move the table closer to me. I said yes. She struggled a bit to move a table that looked like barrel, with a glass atop, and seemed to be full of wine corks, but it might have been just a layer that suggested fullness. She still managed to push the table. Now I could easily stretch and drink water. I thanked her for her work and kindness. And she said something so beautiful at it is core: I am here to serve. Thank you Maria for being of service. I ordered a fruity wine. I am not a wine drinker. The server suggested that one. Once I tasted it, it tasted like juice. The server compared it to a Capri Sun. Yeah, it kind of was. Then I drank more and I did not like it. I asked myself why? Like what specifically made me not like this wine? And all I could come up with was, "it tasted cheap." I felt bad for just describing something as cheap without further detail. Then I saw the bill. The wine was only 10.00 dollars. So it was a cheap wine. I mean right now, given inflation, what cocktail or pour is less than 10:00 dollars? A cheap one. And when I say cheap it does not mean that it lacks richness or attire from a brand name store. When I say that it is cheap I mean that it did not have depth of experience. It was cheap in the way that cheap perfume is, it does not have a layered complicated presence or scent and what it offers is lack of nuance, personality, hype and posture. Like cheap furniture, it's promise and function are soon broken. I would go here and try other wines. And who knows maybe one day I will find one that makes me a wine convert. read more

Im from Pomona and came to San Pedro to dine at my girlfriends favorite Italian restaurant for her bday weekend. We walked around after dinner and stumbled upon live music in this cozy and relaxed environment, everyone was welcoming and the owners were lovely, they treated us like family and even gave my girl a slice of cheesecake for her bday! Great selection of wine and the art on the walls were a treat to look at and we will definitely be coming back here again! read more

The owners are amazing. Gave us the best customer service we've received in a long time. Both husband and wife are the perfect example of what a business owner should be. Hardworking in their own business. No superiority syndrome. Working harder than anyone in that venue. And yes as they should, but let's be real. Most business owners don't even work hard enough. Kudos to them. The ambiance is chill and lovely. To bring a date and make her fall in love with you. The food is delicious. Handmade quesadillas are fresh, delicious and with lots of TLC. read more

We went last night to hear a Super Talented Gypsy Jazz Django Guitarist, Michael Grange. He was perfection, a great selection of standard & Gypsy Jazz songs. Venue: Quaint & intimate atmosphere with tasteful wine crates & cork as wallpaper and most of the excellent food made our night unforgettable! Food: Being a gourmand & famished, we ordered 4 appetizers: 1) Meatballs was the best! Spicy & Juicy; 2)Brussels Sprouts perfectly seasoned & super Crunchy! Everyone loved it 3) Beef Ravioli tasted good but just a little hard on the edges; 4) 1 star deducted for the tasteless pull-pork sliders bc the entire thing was dry!!! Where's the BBQ sauce or "au jus" or gravy? Wine: my hubby & our friends said the $5 special Thursday House Wine was just OK and it began to taste much better with all the food... Summary: We love it and we will definitely be back for more shows. We are so happy to find this little gem in our little artsy town of San Pedro right across from The Warner Grand theater. read more

Love this place. Amazing atmosphere and energy along with great service. Highly recommend.

Stopped here on a First Thursday to relax and catch up with my mom. The place is beautifully decorated with artwork. They have comfortable chairs to sit and even though they play music it is not so overwhelming that you cant converse with your company. We had the rose and zinfendale. We also shared a charcuterie and salad. They have dinner dishes as well but we had already eaten. Definitely a place i will come back to especially since the owner told us they plan to have summer specials and tastings. read more

Great atmosphere & ambiance for date night!! We went here after finishing an Escape Room, and it was the perfect place for an end of night drink & hang out! They were out of the dessert we wanted to try, but the meat & cheese board that we had was lovely and included some chocolate, so we weren't missing that dessert in the end! Our server was wonderful- she came by with a rolling tray full of wines to taste before we decided which to drink. We enjoyed the quiet music & lovely artwork (all for sale!).... So part gallery, part wine bar.... Perfect way to end the night! read more

Great place but kind of pricey for what they offer. Nice artwork. They never have the same beer and wine that is on the menu and the food is not worth the price. read more

I cannot believe that we haven't "seen" The Artistry! This is a locally owned establishment - Alan and Evie are fantastic. A bonus to the food is the art. There are some beautiful pieces and unbeknownst to me, all of my favorites were Alan's! We really enjoyed the service, food, and ambiance. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. I loved their energy! The food was tasty and the soft fried Mexican quesadillas were soooooooo delicious. The quesadillas were so tasty that we ordered an extra round. Evie shared that this menu item was inspired by street food she enjoyed in Mexico. We will be back for those quesadillas. We also really enjoyed the croquettes and Brussels sprouts, too. The only call out that I have is the wine tasting. The pours for the wine tasting are depending on what is opened on the wine cart. For me 3 of the 4 tastings were the house wines. This was a little disappointing, if I knew the dice roll were going to land like that, then I would have just ordered 2-3 glasses of the Sextant Pinot Noir. All in all, great experience and we will be back! read more

I love Artistry! I randomly came across it a few weeks back and have already been there 3 times. It is beautiful. The vibe is unmatched in the Southbay. read more

We went to this place for the first time last night. Directly across from the Warner Grand Theatre. It's a little tucked away from the street so it has a nice private feel about it. Loved the vibe and all the food we ordered. The quesadillas were so amazing. Seriously I'll be going back just to have those again. The place is very relaxed. We'll be adding this to our rotation of great San Pedro places to eat and hang out. The owners were also there and they have a great energy about them. read more

We loved the owners, the vibe, the art and their chefs food!!!! What an incredible place!!! We were in town overnight setting sail for Catalina Island the next morning and happened upon this place. What a goldmine! I hope the owner remembers us as we talked about his art, he is an incredible tat artist, what they did during covid as a new business that thankfully survived, and we asked to meet his chef to thank him for HIS art! It feels like an honor when you're sitting there and around his art and his teacher art and then you're eating art! The chef matched the food in every way to the total vibe of this place! They were classy, cool, real people who own this place and everyone should RUSH the place before everyone finds out it's there! Thank you guys for a wonderful night the weekend of May 28th 2022! Xo Katrina and Tommy ps- I want to come down and have you do my next tat! How? read more

Worst customer service and food in San Pedro and probably LA. Everything came out of a bag or jar straight from Trader Joe's. Wine was also cheap. This place is way overpriced and the owners are rude when you bring up your concerns. I will never go back and I encourage everyone else to reconsider ever coming here if you don't want to throw away money. This place will be another fail for San Pedro. read more

This is a hidden gem in San Pedro! Love the ambiance as your surrounded by fantastic art work, fun videos to rock to and not to mention the wine selection and yummy little bites!

The Artistry Wine Lounge - Wine Bars Near Me - San Pedro, California

Such a wonderfully unique and classy wine bar!! This is perfect place to relax and enjoy a tasty glass of wine/beer, and a light snack. The ambiance is both intimate and convivial at the same time. The decor is very artsy with beautiful paintings and great music. And the owners are genuinely nice. I happened to chat up a young man standing next to me last night. He stopped by just to say thank you to the owner Alan, who was really nice to him when he was feeling down and vulnerable. That really touched my heart. That is why we keep coming back. The Artistry is a great choice for date night, a gathering with friends, or just by yourself! read more

As usual, Artistry is beautiful and cozy - a wonderful place for good wine and food. So happy it is in San Pedro! However, I was disappointed in two things. First, I expected to bring a party of five on a Saturday night so I had left a couple of voicemails and one contact email a few days beforehand to check on availability, and I never received any response at all. Second, when we were there, they were completely out of three items (out of the wonderful but already limited menu), so we were not able to do what we usually do and order several things to share. read more

Hands down the best spot for wine and date night. The food is .got a bottle and empanadas plate and killed it. The chicken soup is awesome. All recipes are revolving depending on the fresh stock of items In their kitchen, i recommend 100% read more

What a hidden gem in San Pedro. Ever eaten in an art gallery with a buttery Chardonnay and a large portion of tempura bites (shrimp & veggies for $11)? Now I have and I'll be doing this again and again. Not to mentioned this is owned by a sweet young couple. What a secret AWESOME spot!!! read more
