After living near this establishment a year now, we finally got a chance to check it out in past weeks & earlier tonight with friends. It's a popular hangout spot with the locals, including our little Stoneridge 55+ folks. My husband loves the beers while I love the can cocktail drinks - they'll fix it up in a glass with ice and salted glass rim. I love that they support the local San Diego craft beers and craft cocktail drinks. They also have a variety of catered food from local vendors and participate with local events including artists, music venues, Swapmeets, car shows etc. And the surrounding views are to die for. Check it out if you're ever in the area! read more

A quaint brewery with "local" (San Diego) beers.The beer was chilled which on this day where the weather hit mid 90s, was refreshing. The bartender was friendly, and made us feel welcome. There's plenty of seating throughout the brewery, but only a select few inside. Be mindful of the space when coming during the middle of the day, cause it's dry weather. They do have a covered awning with fans. Outside they have a food service that rotates cuisines. A hidden gem to say the least. read more

While winding around the hills and soaking in the beauty, you'll stumble upon a quirky little rest stop that gives vibes of a 25 year Olds Motorcye garage from 1985. A cool blend of retro collectibles and a desert motorcycle dream. With a few snacks for sale and several cold taps of beer, you'll find the respite that you need from a day of soaking in the wilderness air and sunshine. Definitely worth a stop, if only to snap a few photos and stretch your legs. read more

That cool place when you fancy cold beer and street style food break during your road trip in our beautiful SoCal! We liked this spot quite a bit. It's located in the middle of nowhere. It was a nice surprise to see it on the side of the road without having any early notification that the bar was there. The inside has cool and nice vibe. It's clean and organised. You can sit inside or outside. They offer few different kinds of beer. The list is short but they have lager, IPA, and ale. I am ale beer drinker and really enjoyed my red ale. My partner's lager was good too. Both had character and were refreshing and east to drink beers. There was small food place attached to the bar. They served freshly made Mexican food. We tried quesadilla and torta. Both were good. Even though the cook served fried chicken with sandwich, she refused to replace beef with chicken in the torta I ordered. It was weird that my request couldn't be fulfilled. Oh well, and this is the only reason for four stars. Definitely stop by here and have a beer or two. read more

Small place in the middle of no where, making it a good ride spot. It was a converted garage. Has a few beers on tap. A bunch in a fridge. Couple sodas and seltzers. Two video games. They have a food tent set up with really good food, but it was rather on the costly side. It was $16 for a quesadilla. The staff there were all friendly. read more

Every time we drop by, Omar has created some new cool feature. So don't drive by without stopping in. You'll miss out on a relaxing fun cool experience. Omar and staff are doing the roadside experience the way it was way way back in the 40's 50's. They have several great beer on tap, but it all started as a bottle shop; Beers of all grades from unique breweries. Wine and hard ciders. Cool sound tracks from a vintage 33 rpm player and a full sound track player. On slow days Omar is cranking out fresh sandwiches. On weekends you can find stone oven pizza, amazing tacos or even BBQ! And on their anniversary March 26 there is always an amazing air cooled auto show with VW, Porsche ETC! Like I said, make the trip out from Temecula wine country. 30 minutes out on 79S. Excellent patio views of the Cleveland National Forest. read more

The decor is funky cool, perfect for that space. He made sure that we got exactly the beers that we liked best. The vibe was very friendly and relaxed, we had conversations with several of the other customers. The food is brought in by different companies, when we we're there, we we're lucky enough to have the birria tacos, chips and salsa. Not only was it excellent, it was reasonably priced. We will definitely be back! read more

Our AirBNB host had recommended this place for Friday tacos so we decided to head up and grab some before we went wine tasting. It's a local's hangout spot but they love to interact with everyone, within the first 30 minutes we felt as though we were a part of the group and ended up staying the whole night! They have about 6 varieties of beer on tap with a huge fridge with local cans of every variety (beer, non-alcoholic beer, non-alcoholic drinks, and seltzer). Great vibe, when down south again I will definitely make another pit stop. read more

Food: 5 Service: 5…read moreAmbiance: 5 Hidden gem alert! Tucked into an unassuming strip mall, you would never guess such a sexy, sophisticated spot is sitting right in the middle of it all. From the moment we walked into Fugghedabout, we were stunned. The space is dark, sultry, lightly dimmed, and incredibly chic, something you'd never expect here. It has a very grown up, intimate vibe (21+ only), perfect for date night or a night out with friends. We were lucky enough to visit on a night with live music (they have it Tuesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays), and it completely set the mood. Even though it wasn't very busy, the energy was wonderful and the music was excellent. Service was top notch. Meghan was fantastic, friendly, attentive, accommodating, and so helpful throughout the meal. Faith, the owner, also stopped by several times to check on us, which earned major points. Such a sweet touch and much appreciated. Now the food... wow. We started with the seared scallop special topped with caviar, and it was outstanding, perfectly cooked, with the caviar adding just the right touch of saltiness. Honestly, we wanted to order more. The hot goat cheese with hot honey appetizer was delicious and so comforting. Definitely get extra bread, you'll want it. Since it was Taco Tuesday, we tried the taco trio with chicken, steak, and shrimp. The steak and shrimp were standouts. The chicken was slightly dry, but overall we really enjoyed them. And the biggest surprise of the night was the shrimp and sausage skillet. Absolutely incredible. So flavorful and rich, and again we needed more bread to soak up every bit of that delicious sauce. We also ordered the crème brûlée for dessert, which was good. The sugar topping was slightly thick, and I'll admit I'm a bit of a dessert snob, so while we enjoyed it, the meal itself was really the shining star of the night. I'm already dreaming about my next visit. I was genuinely impressed by everything, service, ambiance, food, and live music. This place is a whole vibe. Five stars all the way. Highly recommend for anyone looking for amazing food in a sultry, intimate setting. I've already recommended it to several friends. Thank you Meghan and Faith for such a great night. We'll definitely be back!

Imagine an elegant Wine Bar with dim lighting, an Old Skool atmosphere, and a wine list and menu of entrees and appetizers that will challenge any palate, compliments of Chef Orquedea. It was our first visit, arriving just as they opened, and having the whole romantic, classy speakeasy all to ourselves, our server Megan, made us feel right at home. Ensuring we received a little history about the establishment, the day's specials, and what some of their customers' favorites. To begin the experience, we received complimentary glasses of sparkling wine in celebration of their one-year anniversary, which was a nice touch. After a brief moment, we settled on sausage and three-cheese skillet appetizers with a house baguette. The two dishes arrived piping hot, gooey, and enticing! Amazingly delicious to say the least! Kudos to their place settings, glassware, and cloth napkins. Our selected wine was excellent as well, and the selection is very worldly and admirable. THIS is my favorite date place in the area!!! Chill, fashionable, comfortable seating, gorgeous bar, soft music in the background allowing for conversation, and the restroom provides a pleasant surprise as well. Hours of operation hover around Happy Hour and dinner, closing at 9 PM on weekdays and 10 pm on Friday and Saturday. Looking forward to enjoying their live entertainment and themed events in the future, at which time I will follow up on this review. Thank you, Faith, Megan & Orquedea for a wonderful time.--

A quick anecdote, the waitress made PROACTIVE decisions knowing I am Vegan, not just reactive - a rare thing outside of high dining restaurant. Red wine flight included a fantastic Cab & Cab Reserve, and a "very good" Pinot...and that's coming from a person who does not drink Pinot. I didn't care for the blend but then again I never care for a blend as it is. Food was "American" style tapas - small plates of well crafted foods ranging from flatbread pizza to meatballs to vege pockets and (for me) a "Vegan Stack" composed of rice, mango, avocado, and a delicious spicy mayo. Tiramisu dessert disappeared in all of 20 seconds, well plated and beautifully crafted. You will not leave La Fe thinking to yourself "that was the greatest food I've ever had," but you may just leave thinking "this was the best time with my friends I've ever had" - and THAT is what this restaurant is for -- Bring your friends for a night on the town, bring your family for an energized reunion, bring yourself for a social time itch-scratching. In other words, this restaurant has a unique PLACE in the Palm Desert area: it is the place to happy social.

Wonderful friendly owners and I always feel like I'm treated like an old family friend. It is now a mandatory stop any time we find ourselves in Julian. Lots of outdoor seating in a courtyard shared with other small, local businesses (including my beloved Crow and Lilac!), and likely you'll be greeted by their employee of the month: Ollie (the sweetest dog) Happy to be a wine club member and with the drive to Julian (and their newer tasting room in Ramona)

V Wine Room in Palm Springs has quickly become a favorite for our group, marking our second visit…read moreafter an enjoyable karaoke night the first time--this round was for their lively "dance" night. Our friends, who are regulars, invited us back, and we were once again greeted warmly by owner James, who is consistently welcoming and attentive. We snagged a great table with a prime view of the action, setting the stage for a fantastic evening. Standouts included the tamarind martini, which was exceptional--smooth, flavorful, and dangerously drinkable (I had a few, and soon my friends were ordering them too). The bacon-wrapped figs were a highlight, so good we polished off two orders; the pizza was decent but could have used a touch more time in the oven for a crispier crust. Prices struck a reasonable balance for the quality and vibe. We ate, drank, and danced the night away--truly a perfect outing. V Wine Room delivers on fun, friendly energy every time.

Shout out to the V Wine Lounge James Mortensen is wonderful…read more Amazing place tonight. Everyone needs to go, have a cocktail and listen to the live music. The appetizers and cocktails were yummy. The staff, Kinsey, was the BEST!! And the music!!!!!! Jason Weber, your piano skills and voice are beautiful. Your original song was the perfect ending. The best song of the night. Thank you. We can't wait to go back.
