Portions quite small re: food. Cheese choices ( Gouda, cheddar)were somewhat tasteless Adam was terrific. Ambiance wonderful. Music is SOOO loud!! Why?? Will try again though. Wines were amazing!! read more

Servers are courteous, and knowledgeable about their wines. Tapas are made in-house and delicious. Best brochette Ive ever had. Ambiance is chilled with soft music in the background. Recipes are handmade and actually unusual & unique. read more

Cannot wait to come back! Stopped in on a Sunday and ended up with a flight ($20 for 4 pours) and a cheese board $22 for three). We felt prices were fair especially given the high quality and unique flavors. Our cheese board had pickled grapes?!?! Amazing flavor! Ambiance is 10/10 - lots of communal and more private spots to sit and chat. Lovely loft-style decor. Staff was so welcoming and made me never want to leave! read more

Barsha Wines - Cheese plate - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - El Segundo, California

What a cool place in El Segundo to hang out, have a bite and a sip! An easy 5-stars for me - nice beer, good wine and delicious bites - love The Hand of Fatima and crusty bread! Yup, 5 stars read more

This was a tough review to write because my wife and I were very excited to have a new wine bar in town, and we believe in supporting local businesses, and the owner tried to make the experience right by comping our cheese plate, but event though the place is only 2 weeks old in this location, there are two other very well-established locations that have existed a while, and I can't help but feel like our negative experience could have been avoided. I'd give 3.5 stars if I could. We walked downtown and arrived a little after 6pm on a Friday evening. The place was already very full and buzzing, but we were immediately seated at two high stools facing the street. Another couple arrived a little after us and took the last two open spots that I could see next to us. We were given a single menu to peruse while we took in the crowds and ambiance. It's a cute place with a combo of stools and lounge seating, and some small tables outside on Grand. I think there were two servers and the owner (maybe? He was talking up with locals and had the Barsha tattoo, so just a guess) working the front of the house, and they were hustling around trying to keep up with demand. Fundamentally, they seemed understaffed. We were given small glasses of water soon after we were seated, but it took a bit for another server to come by and take our drink order. I got the flight and my wife started with a 3 oz of the sparkling brut. I noticed that the server that took our order had his hands full and didn't have a notepad to write anything down, which would end up biting us in the end. I mentioned that we would be ordering some cheese and asked if we could do that, but he said he'd circle back when we got our wines for that. It took another little stretch for our wines to be dropped off, but at that point we also provided our cheese order (four cheese plate), and began enjoying the drinks. I made it into the third taster and my wife finished the first pour before the server returned to see if she wanted anything else. I made a note that we were still waiting on our cheese, and the server said the kitchen was a bit backed up. Eventually my wife's second glass was dropped off, but still no cheese. The wood-topped stools were starting to feel pretty uncomfortable, and it had been at least 30 minutes with no food. I went to the restroom and noticed it was out of toilet paper (no extra rolls to be found anywhere), so I let the owner know while he was showing some bottles to someone at the front. Soon after, the couple next to us received all of their food, which included some more complex items, and they had definitely ordered after us. I went back to the owner and mentioned it, and he thanked us for the feedback, noting that the kitchen wasn't backed up, so it was likely a server issue. Soon after that the server came by again to let us know he was going to check on our cheese, confirming it was "a three cheese plate", to which we corrected him about it being four, and all but confirming that it was never put in with the kitchen. He offered to give us some more wine as an apology, but at that point we didn't want more to drink without any food. After an hour the owner brought our cheese, apologized, and brought a complimentary glass of wine for my wife. You can see that there was nothing fancy about the cheeses that warranted the delay. By then, we were super hungry and done with the place. Some feedback to consider: - The strawberries with the cheese plate were very hard (not ripe) - Spare toilet paper rolls can be left in the bathroom to reduce servicing frequency - Bottles of water could just be left at the table to allow service to be more efficient, or use bigger glasses for fewer visits Again, this was likely avoidable and possibly a fluke, but if we do return, it'll be after the kinks have been worked out. read more

I'll be giving this location another shot eventually I'm sure since their other locations are amazing. However, as it stands this current location definitely needs to have more than 1 dedicated water for the entire restaraunt on a Friday night. I'm sure it was busier than a normal Friday but the restaraunt was still only ~85% full. If we weren't extremely persistent with getting the waiter's attention I'm not sure if we would have ever ordered. read more

Wine, Food, Service, and Ambience you must try the arugula salad with L'ECU - Granite white wine Great place for a date, or not read more

Barsha Wines - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - El Segundo, California

We love Barsha's other locations in Hermosa Beach and Manhattan Beach. This one is so much fun. They feature a unique variety of wines from all over the world and for every palette, plus some beers and non-alcoholic options. Their intriguing Mediterranean focused food menu features an excellent array of small bites- bruschetta, tapinades, salads, small wraps, etc.. We loved their cheese and meat charcuteries, all well prepared and of high quality. The owner really makes a point of pleasing his customers. You can also buy wines and some food for take out. It was packed when we went on a Friday around 6PM. Seating is limited to barstools and some lounge areas. This is a welcome addition to El Segundo! read more

Came by on a Sunday with my husband and we enjoyed all our appetizers: hand of Fatima, bruschetta and panini. Owner was so attentive and we felt like we were enjoying a meal at home. read more

Fantastic addition to El Segundo! Good gluten-free food options. I recommend the Gundo salad which was delicious. And the owner is warm, funny, and responsive. We came in when they first opened and I teased that they did not have purse hooks under the tables yet - he had them installed by the next time we popped in! A perfect spot for date night. We'll be back soon. read more

Barsha Life for Life! Congrats to Chef Lenora and Adnen for this new location. It's a beautiful venue and program. Full of charm, great wines and comforting food. Please come support this stellar restaurant / lounge. The entire team is so welcoming and offerings fantastic service. Cheers! read more

I was fortunate to attend a private party Saturday night at Barsha El Segundo. What a fabulous place to have a party!! The food was excellent and plentiful and replaced when needed and often. The wine was flowing. The service was impeccable. The venue was very cozy and well laid out for people to mingle. The staff worked tirelessly to accommodate the hosts wishes. If you're interested in booking a private party, go see Adnen, the owner and one of the friendliest most genuine people I've ever met. You won't be sorry. In summary, great food, wine and staff!! Go there and try it out even if you're not attending a party, you won't be sorry. Thank you Barsha!!! read more

Nice wine and food, but not too friendly of an ambiance from the staff, I believe they can do better specially after one week of the grand opening. I will be back and give them a try again. read more

This was my 2nd time coming to the new Barsha location and I loved it. It wasn't as crowded tonight since the buzz from the grand opening calmed down. The food is always delicious. Their version of Bruschetta is the best, I highly recommend. Much better than chopped up tomatoes on bread. The food has a Tunisian flare which gives everything a unique twist. The wine is special here, not something you can find anywhere else. I'm not sure how they source their wines but all you have to do is tell them what you typically enjoy (or what you do not like) and they will handle the rest! I am so glad they came to the downtown El Segundo neighborhood! read more

Fantastic place to have an event! Scott and Adian made our daughter and son-in-law's baby shower perfect. The space is clean and stylish; it is also flexible so that you can decorate the space to suit your needs. The food was excellent and the communication and service was impeccable. Highly recommend! read more

A group from work went this week and had a wonderful time. We enjoyed a nice variety of wine and food.

Finally a wine bar in El Segundo! We had such a nice afternoon here. Wonderful ambiance and service. We tried nine different wines, all were excellent. The Barsha pitza and veggie wrap delicious. Can't wait to return. read more

Something different for El Segundo. Great idea and it should do well. Looking forward to after work happy hours.

My friend and I wined and dined at the new Barsha location in El Segundo this past weekend and we had the best night! The food by Lenora was absolutely amazing, and Adnen picked a fantastic Sauvignon Blanc to pair with it. The ambiance was unmatched! I loved the lighting, the interior design and the versatility of different types of seating, especially the option for indoor or outdoor. This will definitely be one of my new go to spots! read more

Nothing better than being in a spot that has authentic energy and attracts like-minded people who want to just enjoy good wine/beer and bites. Just like el segundo, this new location for Barsha struck me as non-pretentious, full of positive people and one of a kind. Food, wine, service speak for themselves - five stars all the way! Thanks to the ownership for bringing the gift of barsha to El Segundo. read more

Barsha Hermosa Beach is one of my favorite restaurants in the South Bay! So excited they've opened another location in El Segundo. We visited for the first time this week and loved it. The new place is so cute and trendy, and the food was amazing. Can't wait to go back for another girls' night out! read more

This place is a rare gem in the South Bay. It has a homey feel and lovely ambience, which the staff adds to. The owner Adnen frequently checked up on us and took the time to thoughtfully explain the food (which was great.) the dishes themselves were beautifully presented and super fresh. Overall, this place is great to take a date or just have a nice time out with girlfriends! 10/10 recommend for your next outing. read more
