    Grabbed a quick lager last night while I was waiting for my Punjabi Tandoor. Always nice to chat with Mike and Sonya. This place is a perfect spot to be a regular for a beer or as a location for a nice dinner or date night, never disappoints.

    I had been here a number of times for various events, but never for a date night, but I am so happy my husband and I came! We parked in the structure non-residential structure and made the very short walk over. We were treated promptly and were told we couldn't anywhere, so we chose the comfy chairs by the window. We started the evening with wine and the charcuterie board, which was chefs choice, and very good! Highly recommend. We had a couple more glasses of wine and the meatballs, which were so delicious. I highly recommend them! They have a Mediterranean flavor and were definitely something I would order again. We finished the evening with panna cotta and the white port and they were both the perfect ending to an amazing evening together. I would highly recommend you come visit and spend some time here enjoying the food, wine and the company you choose!

    This is a absolute neighborhood gem! I love the ambiance and how cozy this place is. Not only do they have premium wine selections with different weekly wine flights that are curated to perfection, the food options have been upgraded that are chef's kiss. I'm so happy especially about the food menu, they added steak frites and a salmon dish....but in all honesty they have the hands down best fries I've tasted in a very long time. Service is warm and feels like you're visiting your neighbor for a quick drink and good time not to mention the music selection is top tier. Bonus!!: they have live music Thursdays -owner Mike is very talented and plays his guitar like an angel. This place has stolen my heart in Anaheim.

    Amazing experience here! Started off with some moscato, we are not really wine people so we just ordered something sweet. My friend got the wine flight which was all red wine. We ordered the fries and also meatballs. Both were so good! Also got a charcuterie board which was really good and love that you get to choose which items you want to be a part of it. The inside ambience is so nice. All the workers were very lovely! I will definitely be back!

    What a cute little gem! Absolutely loved meeting my girlfriends for some wine and charcuterie last night at Colony Wine Merchant. The atmosphere is very delightful and inviting. I loved the decor of the place, it is perfect for a quiet date night, or girls night out. Our server was so nice and very good with helping us choose great wines. I love that they have such a unique selection of wines for great prices! We ordered two different bottles and loved each (I can't remember the names unfortunately). I also loved their charcuterie board, you get to choose between 3 or 5- and also if you would like just cheese or meat. Overall, I genuinely loved spending my evening here and will definitely be returning. Thanks, Colony Merchant, for a great evening!

    This wine bar is an Anaheim gem! They offer indoor and outdoor seating. The decor inside is beautiful, and we usually like sitting in there to enjoy it. You can't go wrong with any of their wines, and they are great with suggestions based on your palette. The service is amazing as well. Their food is great too! We love to do a charcuterie plate. The drunken goat cheese is a must! If they happen to have the bread and butter on the menu, you are in for a treat. Warm locally baked cheesy focaccia bread with a homemade chili oil butter. It is one of the best things I have eaten in a long time! And don't forget dessert! Their chocolate chip cookies are to die for and their new flourless chocolate cake (dairy and gluten free) is outstanding. I have also hosted a private event here before, and they were incredibly helpful and accommodating with the planning process. Our guests loved it! I cannot recommend this place enough.

We arrived around 6pm on a Sunday evening and we were bummed that it was packed full inside. We decided to go have a drink upstairs, and then come back down later to see if it was any less busy. There must have been one big group who left because 30 minutes later, it was completely empty inside. There are a few wood tables outside of the entrance and several two seat tables along the outside of the side of the train, but for a first visit we definitely wanted to be inside. When you come inside at BXCR, there are two long green couches along each side that wrap around to the entrance to maximize available space. There are two steamer trunks on each side that serve as tables. We were surprised that all of the tables had a Yahtzee game on them, and we had a blast playing that while we enjoyed our drinks. If you happen to roll a Yahtzee, they give you a candle as a prize. There is good background music playing that fits the environment. There is some good décor with overhead baggage racks and international clocks on one wall, and gauges on the wall next to the bar. There are some small rectangular windows along the top of both sides, and some curtained windows on the right side which do let a little light in. When the main entrance door is opened before its dark outside, it does let quite a bit of light in and kills the ambience temporarily. I would recommend coming closer to or after sunset to not let any outside sunlight interfere with your experience. The drinks are made at the bar in the rear where there are several seats and a little standing room. It wasn't on the current menu, but I saw on a previous menu they had an Amaretto Sour so I started with that, and it did not disappoint. It was nice and frothy from an egg white and had Angostura bitters on top. My girlfriend started with the Calm Cruise which was great. It's basically a Pina Colada, but with an additional honeydew flavor in the background. For number two, I tried the C-League cocktail. The smokiness of Mezcal has grown on me lately if it is not the primary flavor, and in this drink it is at a nice level somewhere in the middle. The cucumber and cilantro are definitely present, along with a little heat from the ancho verde and a little sweetness from the Luxardo maraschino. This is a excellent easy-drinking tequila cocktail. Her number two was the Aviation which she enjoyed. Vince was our main bartender along with Sarah. They were very friendly and fun to chit-chat with while they were mixing up our drinks. This is definitely a cool place to check out, and we will definitely return.
