That said, there appears to be a discrepancy between what is promoted as top-shelf liquor and what is actually being poured, based on both my experience and comments from other patrons. I will share these concerns with the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) If you look behind the bar, you will see a glass bottle with a Tito's sweater. It's NOT Tito's. Nor is the bottle a Tito's bottle. Every time we have been there, it appears to be very busy, so I don't see the reasoning here. I hope greed doesn't get this place shut down. Don't take my evaluation as gospel. Go check it out. 5 star establishment, 0 stars for being greedy, especially when the people are willing to pay. As I write this, I assume it's a profit margin thing.

The vibe is pretty similar to what it was before, the layout hasn't changed much and the live music area is in the same place. The music was a lot of fun, Raynaldo was playing and he does a great job with the music and he also interacts with the audience in a fun way. The food was quite good, we started with some guacamole and then baja fish tacos and enchiladas suiza. All very good, no "wow" moments. The house margaritas were underwhelming. I couldn't really detect any tequila flavor in the drink. That could be because I'm used to making margaritas at home where they are half tequila... Anyway, the drinks were not a strong point.

My friends and I tried walking from State Beach in Encinitas, it was about a 13-minute walk, but I wouldn't recommend it. The path smelled pretty bad, likely because of the seals and trash in the area. Once we arrived, we were quickly settled in. The restroom was clean and decent, and we loved how spacious the place felt. There's a nice outdoor area where people can hang out and drink, as well as an indoor section with a pool table. We tried some of their margaritas, which were absolutely delicious, and really enjoyed the ambiance. The staff was friendly, the service was great, and the overall vibe made it a fun spot to visit. Once inside, you don't notice the outdoor smell, so that's a plus. I'd definitely stop by again.

( probs for having a drink on duty but whatever.. kinda expected here!!) The new dude thinks he's a GOD and with ZERO!!!Personality! ZERO!!!Sense of humor ZERO knowledge of making basic drinks ( didn't know what a painkiller was and that he could charge $25 for it) and REALLY RUDE. Basically told me to piss off! So I ordered a beer. Later, on my way out...I mentioned the bathroom smelled like sewage and maybe he should call the plumber for Monday.. and told me to shut up and get outta here or he'd be calling the cops?! Over reacting for a simple situation...trying to help a business owner. This guy needs a job NOT in the SERVICE INDUSTRY!!‍‍

(You can also grab charcuterie items from their fridge.) For your non-wine friends they have slushies. The tasting room is licensed for children as well. I believe they have sodas in the fridge you can purchase for the youngsters. The best thing about this place is that every Sunday there's a music open mic featuring local singers and artists from 6-9. The host, local legend Raynaldo Martine, will play along with artists or let them go solo. The list is always fair, and the hosts respect the amount of time artists spend in the venue. Overall, this is a place where you can enjoy some high-end craft wine and excellent entertainment. They have other entertainment lined up other days, so call ahead to find out what's going on.

I think he was the owner and he said they weren't opened yet but invited us inside for a little tour. He told us they had live music every night. We came back later that night for a drink because of his friendliness and hospitality. There was indeed live music and we had a glass of their delicious Pinot Noir and bought a bottle of wine to take home. They don't serve food, but there are plenty of restaurants near by where you can order food to bring in with you. They did sell little charcuterie boards and snacks though, which was nice to see. The outdoor patio was so cozy with ambient string lights and plenty of seating. Definitely a great place to have a drink and listen to some live music. Thank you to the gentlemen who made us feel welcome and inviting us for a tour before you were open.
