I went here with 4 friends. It was on a Monday after work. The staff was nice it took a little longer than expected for the food but the service was nice. The cheese trays were good. I would’ve gave it 5 stars if it wasn’t for the homeless lady that kept walking up and Down the outside seating in the outside area with a crop top yelling and screaming loudly. It was 30 minutes later when the staff finally asked her politely to please go across the street. Not sure if I’d go back I was just uncomfortable.
Came here for Wednesday happy hour… deals are good, and drink selection is good. Hence the 2 stars. Unfortunately, our service was incredibly slow. Our server forgot about us several times. Each time, one of us had to get up to order personally from the bar instead of wait for the server to arrive. Also, the food left a lot to be desired. Seemed like it was cooked from frozen. Based on the other reviews, probably best to stick to the cheese/meat plates. For us, it’s the first and last time we’ll go here.
Great place! Nice location. Good vibe inside. Seating outside also. Ask for Kayla. She knows her stuff and makes great recommendations. Enjoy a nice glass or two and a bite to eat!
After my neighbor suggested this to me, I visited this wine store. This shop was very awesome. The wines they had were so delicious. They had a vast selection of wines you could pick from. The team will certainly help you pick the wines. The room has a really nice feeling. Its highly recommended!
Amazing Wine shop! They have very friendly staff who talked to us about the world of Argentinian wines. We could order glasses of different wines even if the bottle wasnt opened yet. Excellent service. The Chardonnay and White Zinfandel were the best we could find in here so far. We totally recommend this place if you look for good wine.
Good service and wine! The flatbread was great. You can skip the nachos though.
Really happy with how my date night went! It was such a great atmosphere and service was very pleasant. Loved the outdoor seating. I ordered two appetizers, one red wine tasting and one glass of white wine. Honestly, I wasnt expecting much when I first picked this location. However, once I saw the menu I was pleasantly surprised. I felt like I was in Napa. They had a really good selection of wine, something for everyone! I personally chose a glass of white wine while my partner chose to do a red wine tasting.
All day happy hour on Wednesday. Constantly changing tap list and a nice selection of wines.
Awesome place! I keep coming back for the drinks and the service, which is outstanding! Great wine selection and ambiance.
Good food, decent beer selection. Service a bit slow. Good area for sidewalk dining.
I love this place. The staff is accommodating, the service is good, and there are a lot of wines to choose from. I love going here to drink wines. The wines are stored well, and the owner was very knowledgeable about wine and food pairing. Their location is very convenient too. I wouldnt go anywhere else in the future. Thank you!
We had a very pleasant evening here with friends. They have a nice selection of wines from California and abroad to chose from. The wines paired nicely with the cheeses and and other appetizers they had to offer. The tomato and basil bruschetta and the mozzarella stacks were very good. They also have a wide selection of beer including Pliny the Elder on tap. Our server was very friendly and knowledgable. We will be back
This is my favorite hangout on The Alameda in San Jose. Ive discovered wines from small boutique wineries and craft beers that I wouldnt have otherwise come across. And they make amazing cheese and charcuterie boards and gourmet crostini that are delish. I enjoy the authentic San Jose vibe of being in a historic building right on The Alameda. Its a local hidden treasure that everyone should experience. Highly recommend.
Great place! Nice location.
Great selection and staff. Just a pleasure going there or ordering Lot of high quality. I highly recommend this shop
Update on my review its definitely on my to visit list once if not twice a week. They usually a have a great stout for me to drink thats a big plus in my book. Good beer and appetizers my lil guy loves .
Decent wine/beer selection, friendly staff, great location
I had such an amazing time here the service is impeccable. The team is so inviting and attentive. Alyssa, julius and kayla are the ultimate dream team! If you want to have a good time with friends and an amazing beer and food selection this is the place to go. Their charcuterie plates are top notch paired with the wine as well. Overall its just a great friendly neighborhood spot to hangout at.
Dynamic and interesting beer tap rotation program, sourcing from top bay area breweries as well as a few others nationwide. Decent food choices as well.
Dont be deceived by the name. They have a great selection of draught and bottled beers on top of their wine offerings.The service is awesome! We came to celebrate a birthday, and the employees were extremely accommodating and kind. They helped us store the cake, brought it out with candles, and sliced it for everyone afterward.
Delicious, intimate, and a super urban ambiance! It’s a definite go-to dining experience for me! Love it!
I waited here for long time.
Great service and food! Love their fillets with lobster. Restaurant week is coming up!
Wine affairs is a great local spot. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable about the wines. The exposed brick and wood make the space feel cozy and romantic. I recently hosted a private event and Doug the manager was so easy to work with. My guests had a great time. The food was delicious. I highly recommend wine affairs for a happy hour or large event.
This is such a nice wine store. Wine Affairs does wine well. I havent explored spirits that much but based on the web, they have a huge selection also.
Excellent service and even better wine and cheese!Went a month ago with my friend and her elderly, disabled dog. We called ahead and even though it was january they reserved a table out front for us so we could have the dog with us! Thanks!The Baked Bubbly Brie is FANTASTIC! It was so good, I now order it every time I go. The Charcuterie Boards can get a little pricey for what they are, but still tasty none-the-less. Great selection of wines, I want to try out their beer selection next.Great ambiance, very earthy, and cozy.Would be a great spot to have a hip cocktail hour for a wedding. Looks like they have extra seating upstairs in the loft.
There was a long que in the shop.
Wow, everything about this place was excellent. The food, service and access/parking. We were wowed from beginning to end. The antipasto platter was huge and had so many choices. We all ordered the Wine Affairspasta and were not disappointed. The chef sent out an order of his mamas pasta and I liked that one even more. I ordered a to go portion for my daughter. We live in Wine Affairs so this was a 40 minute drive that was well worth it.Wine Affairs
Not very group friendly without advance notice. Food is tasty but pricey and not a meal. More like fancy bar snacks. Solid beer selection for a wine bar. Staff are very knowledgeable about the wines available and can help you pick one youll like.If you use your credit card to start a tab, youll be hit with a 20% gratuity plus tax. If you pay as you go with cash, you can save a lot of money. On my most recent trip, I got two beers, $8 and $10. Thats $18 if I had paid in cash, but my total was $23.60 because I had a tab. I could have saved $5.60 by paying cash.
The food and service were excellent.
Tasty wine and strong craft beers. Delicious small plates with a good variety of Mediterranean breads olives and tasty foods
Great staff, good selection of beers
A really neat wine and beer place that has very good small plates. It has a very good atmosphere.
Nice vibe, social distance and great selection of craf 🍻
Our group had the wine flights and several of the appetizer plates. Everything was delicious, and the atmosphere was cozy. However, be aware if your server asks if youd like more bread. We were charged $4 for about 8 small baguette slices.
Our server was awesome, friendly and very informative. Unfortunately the female owner was there and she kept staring at our table in a weird way which made us all feel very uncomfortable so we left. ID rate this place a 10 but because of the weird owner who made our night feel weird I rate it 1 star. We enjoyed Good drinks and good food but not the unwelcoming behaviour of the female owner.
The place is mainly wine-centric (hence the name) but there are a dozen beers on tap and the selection is solid. Since I didnt drink the wine, Ill focus on the beer. Their selection is 80% California beers, which I appreciate!There is plenty of seating and the service is good. My friend apparently comes here at least once a week - he loves it.
Lovely selection of excellent, but reasonably priced wine and beer. They also have a menu of small plates - flat reads, bruschetas, cheese plates etc. The only reason I didnt give them 5 stars is that our waiter was not very knowledgeable. Hell learn.
Love this place for its superb collection of wine all over the world. Staff is really friendly and always happy to help out in selecting wine. Service can be a bit slow at times, but its okay.
Came on a Wednesday with a group of friends. We easily found a seat for everyone. Very comfy place with good music but not loud enough so we could have conversations comfortably. Excellent sparking water. A great half-week relaxing spot.
Ive been coming here for many years and it a great neighborhood spot. I dont like in the area anymore but if I ever am I try to make a stop. I go here really for there beer selection. Their selection is great as they always bring in beers I have never seen before.
The atmosphere is cozy, the food is good, theres plenty of beer and wine options. I like that theres plenty of seating so you can usually get a booth and dont feel claustrophobic.
Huge beer selection. Good wine selection. Nice rustic decor. Some yummy food on the menu too. Nice service from chill staff.
Great atmosphere. Cozy and good food and wine selection. Went in a Wed night, where they had happy hour all day! Parking was easy on the street.
I have a great time every time I go there. I look forward to seeing the crew. Especially Thomas the manager comma he is the most efficient guy there a nice man on top of it.
Great place for wine and beer. The selection of both are wide and good. Beer on tap is good.
Such a fun place to go on a date or to catch up with some friends. The wine isn’t too good, the food isn’t anything to write home about, but it’s all so reasonably priced you can’t not love it.
Beautiful little wine bar serving up small plates as well. Great selection of wines from all over the world. Friendly staff eager to make you feel at home
Pliney The Elder on draft - need I say more, beer lovers? Small but excellent beer and wine lists. Small plates are very nice. Staff is attentive and friendly. Great atmosphere!
A nice local wine and beer bar... good craft brew selection on tap and always changing. Tasty little bites (flat breads/ cured meat & cheese) to go with!Regulars, a few Alameda walkins, and I swear a date every time I go in... not too loud.
We love this place. Good vibe, always lively and amazing wine and beer selection.
Great kitchen. Decently decorated place and good staff, but absolutely poor ambiance. They had a game playing and it seemed like a sports bar instead of a cozy wine bar
Great local wine bar. Friendly people.
Great wine selection. Food was alright. Great place where you can actually talk and hear the person across from you!
Sat outside of the place on The Alameda. The four of us had a great time drinking wine, and beer on a beautiful summer day.
Nice venue on the Alameda. Pretty good wine selection. It probably varies over time. The tapas selection isnt great but what they have is tasty. Certainly way over priced. But hey, its a tapas wine bar.
Nice little place although seating is limited. We shared the baked brie and really how could you go wrong when theres brie involved? We had a few different beers 2 of which I remember. Mai Tai by Alvarado Street and Nutty Operator by Altamont beer works (yum). Ill definitely be back for more nutty operator before it runs out and definitely back in December at the very least when it comes back around.
Great food and excellent wine list! Cozy and unassuming. Busy place for the after work crowd. Big booths and tables can accommodate large-ish parties. If you see truffle on the menu, do yourself a favor and immediately order it!
The place was disturbed.
Solid and knowledgeable staff. It has lost its sparkle over the years -- the new owners dont seem to know their wines or more importantly beers. The more bar managers were excellent in this department.I would still go here, but not as frequently as I used to.
Beautiful place
Cute ambience. Great for happy hour with coworkers or meeting up with a date. Excellent wine and beer menu, but no cocktails.
Great happy hour. Wines there were solid and loved the coppa. Very nice spot to hang out and staff was friendly. Parking is available on the nearby side streets.
Nice little beer/wine bar. The happy hour is pretty good, and runs from 2:30ish til 8pm! The bar menu is good too, but somewhat overpriced. Overall, a nice place to chill out.
Wine club is an amazing deal. Dan the Wine Man is the best, and choose great wines! Location is walkable from the Caltrain too
Liked the atmosphere. The rather As was very delicious.Wish they had more European wines.
I had been driving by this place for months and never noticed it. Finally someone recommended it on the basis of its beer selection, and it certainly delivers. One of the few places in the area where you can get very unique brews like sour beers and hard to find limited releases like Pliny the Elder.
Yummy food and wine! Great ambience to this place. Plus their happy hour is great!
Great local wine bar with a super beer selection. Casual feel.
Great beer selection and knowledgeable staff! Really friendly feel and modern and the happy hour on Wednesdays goes all night which is great.
Great place to meet and or have wine and awsome desert
Good service, decent beer selection. I really enjoyed Marzen beer. Also, prices are very reasonable.
Super cool and fun place. Little pricey on how much they charge per once. But still a fun place.
Great neighborhood bar with fantastic beer menu. Service is always friendly.
Fantastic tucked away little gem. Great wine selection... and a - surprise! - an awesome selection of bottled & draft craft brews!
Love this place for its ambiance and friendly staff. Come for Oktoberfest and enjoy!
Excellent place for a drink and its open later than most places around.
Great place to grab a nice glass of beer or wine with friends, especially since they open late.
Great drink selection, cozy atmosphere, friendly staff and one of the few places with pliny the elder on tap. Great service as well. Highly recommend
Nice quiet place with good wines
The service was poor.
Hip modern joint with a trendy flair in the exposed brick on the wall and the ceiling. Good happy hour times.. sunday even have a happy hour 3 to 10 p.m. Service can be quite slow
Good atmosphere..... nice wine selection and beer.
Good wine, nice 0lace, tasty food with normal price.
My husband and I use to go here all the time for a fun date night. We are lovers of wine and they offer decent small plates. But, a new employee decided to engage in a conversation with us regarding socioeconomic status (he started the conversation). He proceeded to say/indicate that POC do not have anything to complain about and that things have changed since Civil Rights. I told him my experience of a person of color, and despite the systematic hurdles I encountered, that I have had success. I expressed that I wish ALL people had the same opportunites, but that is not what DATA reports. He proceeded to tell me that POC just need to work harder. I was so upset that I walked out and my husband stayed behind to pay our bill. We use to frequent that establishment often and I will never step foot in there again. Not cool to offend paying customers ....
Great cozy place.. Hidden in plain sight!!
Always great times! One of the best wine & beer lists available in the South Bay.
Delicious food and beer and wine...oh my!
I enjoyed this place, my wine and food were good.
The wine flights are wonderful, their yum yums selection of food along with charcuterie speak for themselves, atmosphere and staff was on point
Great space. Good selection. Tasty snacks.
A great place to hang out with friends and enjoy excellent wine, beer, and nibbly bits.
Nice causal place e. Great selection of craft beers
Service was excellent and the food was up to their usual great standards.
Good selection of wines, but they need more local, Santa Cruz Mountains, wines.
