Cool, causal, and cozy are the perfect ways to describe one of my favorite best kept secrets in the Lakewood area. Bar staff is consistent and friendly. Flights give you the chance to experience their varied selections of wines from around the world. It's a little dark with different types of table settings (high top, low tables, couches, outside, etc) so you can dress up or down. Everyone who visits are from the neighborhood so it's a nice break from the bustle and bustle of Dallas. Only 4 stars because prices are a little on the high side especially by the glass, but it's a nice treat and worth the experience. Would recommend and love bringing friends to our neighborhood wine bar! read more

The sommelier Kelsey is a beautiful tour guide to an amazing experience! Tell her what you like and she will take you on an amazing flight!! The selection is enormous and well chosen! Date night or a business lunch or dinner this intimate place makes you feel like your in a wine cellar, without skimping on a little elegance with that Dallas flair!i can't leave out the very appropriate and yummy food menu that compliments your flight! Come here you won't be disappointed! read more

Bodega Wine Bar - Even the beautiful glasses make you feel so special & the wines will win you over! Obsidian Cabernet Sauv & Burgundy Pinot Noir - Wine Bars Near Me - Dallas, Texas

So "my date" (from last years review) and I came here for our 1 year anniversary. We are now engaged and getting married in April '18. Just as before this place was a perfect romantic setting. Now we just gotta wait on these two ladies to get up from "our" table. read more

Is Amazing in every way!!!!! The owners are amazing! Their knowledge of wine is outstanding! The meat and cheese plate is phenomenal! When the owners are not there they have amazing staff who took us in close to closing tonight and gave us great wine and service!!! This place is just lovely. read more

I am beyond excited to have Bodega move to my part of town. I knew they were moving, but when I heard they were open I had to get there! It's so cozy and quiet...which I love in a wine bar. I had a flight of Big Reds for $17, which I feel is super fair. One of my favorite wines, The Prisoner, they had for $14/glass, and a bottle retails anywhere from $36 to $40...so again, pretty fair. One super cool thing to note...you can bring in your own food, just like Lakewood Growler...and you can bring your growler in as well if you are not a wine person, but those you are with are...they'll put it in the fridge for you. So nice! They have a wine fair last Saturday of each month from 2pm-5pm where you can try 20 wines for $25....can't wait! I see myself becoming a regular here....which could be good...could be bad...all depends on your perspective! read more

Absolute favorite wine bar in Dallas! Romantic, cozy, great atmosphere and awesome selection of wine. Also local beers available and a variety of charcuterie and tapas. Excellent for a date night, girls night, or intimate gathering of friends. read more

This is, without a doubt, the best wine bar in Dallas! The owner, Amier, knows which wines you are going to want to drink. He doesn't just try to fit you in to a small list of mediocre bottles on the menu. He has an amazing selection of carefully curated glasses and bottles of really high end wines. I have been coming here for years and I am always impressed that I can find something new and interesting at a reasonable price. This place is truly a gem. read more

When we arrived we were taken aback somewhat by the location (strip mall) but once you walk inside, the fragrance of wood and wine is very noticeable. Very earthy and warming. The service is equally impressive. The prices for a glass may be a tad high, but not over-the-top. Excellent selection that runs the gamut of terroirs and regions. read more

I absolutely adore Bodega. I always suggest it as a place to meet whether it's my girl friends, a work acquaintance or date night. They are extremely helpful and friendly. Great cheese selection too. Amier will also help you find a wine. Prisoner, Turley, and rose bubbles...what more could you need. The whole staff is amazing and it feels like home! read more

Locally owned. Great wine selection, great small plates, fantastic atmosphere. Come for a glass of your favorite wine and take a bottle home if you want! Perfect happy hour spot, place to unwind or have an intimate date night. Come for the wine and stay for the atmosphere. Need more food than an appetizer? You can bring it in! read more

A wine cave situated in a strip shopping center. And it works. Great ambiance, wonderful wines and wine flights. Tasty cheeses. And you can also bring in food (conveniently, next to Thai place and Lovers pizza by the slice). The owner is very knowledgeable about wines and just a great guy. Not a surprise it's Dallas' best wine bar. read more

We were there for over five minutes before the bartender came to our table to see what we wanted. Then ten minutes later and fifteen glasses of wine...served to others...we left. We won't be back. Went to Lakewood Growler and were served in a jiffy. read more

First time here and loving it. Great atmosphere, a very nice wine cellar with stone walls and fireplace. Fantastic wine selection and they welcome food brought in from the surrounding restaurants (and there are plenty). Definitely will be back! Cheers! read more

Popped in on a date night and it was delightful. Amir was extremely helpful, walking through their extensive collections. The décor was cozy and romantic, wish it was a little closer to our neighborhood as we'd frequent it much more often. read more

This wine bar is wonderful. Amir the owner is very personable and well traveled. He provides good service, talks to the customers and has a great selection of wines by the glass or bottle. Don't be fooled by the strip center, step inside and you will be happy you tried Bodega. I'll go back next time I'm in Dallas! read more

Absolutely LOVE this place!!! Great wine, great atmosphere and great information about the wines.

I love me some wine bars. I love me some wine bars that have flights so I can try out a few before indulging in a full glass or calling it a night. Luckily for me and everyone else, Bodega has both a vast selection of wines and wine flights. It's also just down the street from me so even better! A friend and I both got wine flights and despite them being flights, I found that the pours were pretty generous. I'm also a light weight so take my words with a grain of salt. The staff was extremely knowledgeable and also very attentive. They were prompt to ask how we were doing, provide waters, and clear our glasses when we were done. The atmosphere is very intimate and romantic with enough seating for quite a few people. The decor is dark, rustic, and warm. This is perfect for a date night with your significant other or even just a girls' night out. P.S. Bodega is right behind a TCBY so think of all the possibilities after you've had a few glasses... I'm just kidding (kind of). Bodega also has a food menu that I have had yet the chance to indulge in. read more

This was my 4th visit and have had nothing but great experiences. Great wine selection, great service, knowledgeable staff, and laid back/casual atmosphere. Highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy a wine night with a relaxing atmosphere and great selection. read more

This place was a ton of fun. It's a cozy wine bar tucked into a strip mall. Don't be deceived by its location. It's a great happy hour/girls night location. Jason and Amir were awesome and tolerated a boisterous group of 3 very close girlfriends. We had an amazing time and appreciated our great experience for a friend's birthday celebration!! read more

Very enjoyable. Good wines and friendly staff. The cheese board and the bruschetta we had were really good. The wine flights are a great way to try new things. Comfortable and inviting neighborhood spot. This was our first time, but we'll definitely be back again. Hope to see you there! read more

Love this! Need a good spot for a date? This will do it! Dark, music playing, and you can do flights of categories of wine so you can try four different ones. I even left with a bottle of the one I loved. Owner knows his stuff and will help educate you if you don't know anything (like me). Great, cozy spot!! read more

Cute, cozy place with sofas and fire places. Great for after a dinner date, but you can bring food in, too. Great wine selection and friendly staff. The owner recommended several delicious wines, like an amazingly smooth Emilio Moro, and they do tastings too. They just opened in this location, but had an amazing selection. Looking forward to trying some new ones next time. read more

This is definitely great cozy place to take a date or just lounge with a group of friends. From the atmosphere, the service, and great tasting wines I was beyond impressed. Didn't think we had anything like this in Dallas. read more

Such a cute place with comfy seating and lighting. Came with our JLD group for a meeting and we found a nice corner to talk and have a few appetizers. The wine selection was great and they let you bring food in. Great place for a date or a small group. Can't wait to come again. read more

Best hidden gem in Lakewood. Tremendously knowledgeable and friendly owner and staff. Fantastic wine by the glass options (from Opus One on down) to a unique and thoughtful bottle list that is very reasonably priced. The fact that this spot is in a strip mall should not keep you away. Inside is a wonderful respite from the rest of Dallas. As an added bonus, you can grab dinner at Taco Joint/Ginger Thai/Lovers and bring it in and enjoy some fabulous wines. read more

Great experience last night! Great wine, prices, and service. The environment is very quaint and cozy. Will be back when we visit Dallas again! read more

Place is amazing! Came here after a concert and what a blast!!!! Great wines with perfect pairings!!! Buschettas and chacuterie are a must!!! read more

Love this place! Cozy, romantic, great wine and a perfect place to finish off date night or have a girls night with friends. Don't let the outside fool you and go check it out. Lots of flights to choose from if your unsure what you like. read more

Finally made it to the new location. While clearly this is not in a trendy spot, Bodega somehow managed to transport its charm over to its new address! It's a lovely place. Service was great and the wine selections were as well. Was very pleased to find a new type of sparkling wine I'd never seen before. Definitely planning on coming here often. read more

Sunday afternoon shouldn't be an excuse. Husband and I went to try out this new neighborhood wine bar. Used to be regulars when it was located on Travis. One other customer sitting at the bar. Employee was working diligently to satisfy customers and still maintain her duties while an unknown female was obviously distracting her and discussing her tip money, money to buy food for tomorrow from the nearby grocery store and making annoying small talk. Please don't discuss business matters in front of customers. I don't want to know your basil comes from the Sun Fresh Market next door. Also, we love wine and are fairly educated wine drinkers. A flight of wine should be poured from fresh bottles. I do not like wine stoppers in my wine bottles. It screams day(s) old wine. Will we return, yes, but only to buy and drink our own bottle of wine. Additionally, service could not have been better. read more

My wife and I simply love this place. Great wines , amazing prices and quaint atmosphere. We were there last Monday on our way to another place for dinner so we decided to stop by and check them out and of course we were pleasantly surprised. We will go back for sure. read more

Don't judge a book by its cover! This strip mall location is cozy and gorgeous inside. They know their wine and can walk you through anything you need to know. They have a light menu with some fantastic cheese selections or you can go grab takeout from one of the surrounding restaurants and bring it in. Pizza and the sparkling flight. How very "cultured" of me!! read more

Nice place. They location my look like this place has no business being here but don't be fooled. Really classy and dark atmosphere. Met some friends there for an evening of wine and relaxation. I'm glad it was byob because they had no Texas wines at that time so I brought my own. I like having options when it comes to going to wine bars but I'm finding it very difficult to be a regular at a wine bar that does not have any Texas wine. You want my business? Promote Texas wines is all I ask too not just everything else but Texas. At least that was our experience when we visited. It hadn't been open very long from what I understand so maybe that was part of the reason why their selection was limited to what they did have. I don't want to be a snob about this but come on, you're local promote local so to speak. There's plenty of good Texas wine out there, & I know because I'm member of three wineries in Texas. Perhaps it has to do more over the cost of the wine in Texas over California but Texas makes good stuff too. Maybe there could be some middle ground pricing between the winery and the wine bar to make it cost effective I guess. So by all means check it out. It's been 10 months since I've been there so I think it deserves another visit to see you anything has changed. read more

The atmosphere is terrific, and the quality/options/prices for the wine is exceptional. And, the owner-Amir-really knows his stuff.

Great wines, the owners were friendly and knowledgeable. Romantic atmosphere for a date or low key girls night! Also, $10 off wines to go!

Very precious wine bar. You can bring in your own food, or order from the Thai restaurant next door. Their wine selection is great. Wonderful little hang out by yourself, a few friends or a small group. You tend to feel tucked away and before you know it, you've been there a few hours. Wonderful hide away. read more

Very cozy wine bar! The selection of wines is top notch and the owner (Amier) is exceptionally knowledgeable and very helpful. Love this addition to our neighborhood! read more

Great neighborhood wine bar! They've spent a lot of energy building a nice atmosphere and unique wine list. Waitstaff knew their wines, too. read more

This a great addition to the neighborhood. The staff is knowledgable and friendly and they have a great wine selection. It decorated like a wine cellar and it's a super spot to escape the sun and heat. On my way to becoming a regular. The owner told us he wanted it to feel like an extension of someone's own living room. Mission accomplished. read more
