Great place to grab wine & apps with friends
Posted by DenaG on 04/08/2009
Went to Bodega on a Tuesday night with a date and it was a perfect place to meet. The wines are all $8 a glass and there was a great selection. The appitizer menu also offered a good selection and we tried the brushetta which was tasty. I'll definately go back to Bodega again. Scene was relaxed and friendly.

Wine Bar meets laid-back Bar
Posted by kiercemartin on 07/28/2008
So we checked out Bodega on a whim after tiring of the line outside Father's Office. I was pretty skeptical going in, but Bodega is by far more laid-back and less pretentious than even Father's Office. While you may think this is kind of comparing apples to oranges. Bodega offers just as many wines just as cheap during happy hour as Father's Office does beers, and all the wine at Bodega is the same price no matter what you order and bottles of wine are only 20 bucks. Do the math and you're coming out better than a lot of bars around Santa Monica. Not to mention $3 beer during happy hour and their food is great too. While it's definitely not a place to club, it's a great place to get a drink.

Dear Bodega
Posted by lanemeyer1970 on 06/28/2008
When I show up with my girlfriend to grab a bite to eat and a few glasses of wine (and yes, at least the pizza was good), please don't ask me to hold a credit card. It makes me feel like I am Cabo. It would also be nice if you did not charge me for a cheese plate that I neither ordered nor got. Stay classy.

Wonderful for wine, but not for partying
Posted by jenheidir on 06/23/2008
I feel like Bodega doesn?t know what type of wine bar it wants to be. At least that?s the impression I got when I went there one Saturday night. There was a DJ playing up-tempo music, but the venue doesn?t have any space for dancing. The place bills itself as a wine bar, but there?s hardly enough table or counter space for people to put down their glasses, let alone bottles. My recommendation -- come here NOT on a weekend night, or if you do, show up before 10 o?clock. Check out this place for its appropriately-priced wines, not for a place to party.

Stay away!

Uninspired wine list. No flights period- forget about flights paired with food or dessert. Truly some of the worst food that I have ever eaten. The only plus is the creative use of the space- nice, contemporary atmosphere.

Great atmosphere & vibe

Its not really a wine bar, but more like a cool lounge. Great music, lots of space to sit and have an actual conversation. Highly recommended for meeting friends, date, etc!!!

Fun place on Tuesday nights!
Posted by tiffanym6 on 01/15/2008
Went there last night for the first time and really enjoyed it. My boyfriend and I had an awesome waitress, and she let us sample a few of the wines before committing to a bottle (only $20 on Tuesdays!). She was very knowledgeable and helped us pick out a great wine and the delicious grilled cheese (so gluttonous but worth it). I think we got lucky because it was a slow-ish night, but the service was great and our waitress even brought us free shots! Overall fun, laidback atmosphere and I'll definitely be back soon. My only complaint was the overhead lighting is a little weird (when are people going to realize that this is the most unflattering lighting ever?). Thanks again Kelly S.!

Horrible service, Avoid at all costs
Posted by tpierson33 on 03/08/2007
I live really close to this place so I thought it would be a good idea to go there on a Friday night to just have afew drinks with some friends. Unfortunately, this turned out to be areally bad idea. The waiters/bar tenders were extremely arrogant and it took well over 20 minutes for the waiter to bring the wine I had ordered (it didn't even seem busy in there).

Fantastic wine bar. My favorite wine bar, actually. Great wine selection. Food is pretty good. Ambience is fantastic. Relaxed atmosphere. Great place to meet up with friends before heading to dinner.
