"Steps from the boardwalk, the exterior of Venice Beach Wines appears to be an upscale beach shack beckoning anyone to step inside. Inside, it's feels more like a European bistro thanks to cozy outdoor seating. Open for over 15 years, the food is consistent and wine selections are plentiful. This bar also contains a wine shop, which will allow you to grab a bottle to go if you and your date want a nightcap at home"
