I mean CMON the seating upstairs with a large window that overlooks little Italy is amazing. I've been to M winehouse twice now and each time I've felt so cozy while being nestled upstairs drinking a glass of wine. Great selection of wine and they offer bar seating downstairs or plenty of seating upstairs. They also have a nice selection of games to play with so we can get off of our phones! (I'm speaking for myself) Overall friendly staff and beautiful spot that I look forward to keep coming to read more

Stumbled across this little gem while waiting for dinner across the street. So glad we did! What a cute little place!! We didn't even see the upstairs, but could see people peering out from the street! Ordered a house petit syrah that was excellent, and my daughter had a white wine of some kind that she really enjoyed. The service was great, the gentleman was super friendly and knowledgeable with his wines. Great stop if you're in the area!! Def worth checking out! read more

Came here before date night dinner, and grabbed the Owners Favorite "Hugues Picpoul". The wine was really good with medium body & fruity taste. A very cute spot to stop for a glass of wine. You order at the bar area, where you scan a QR code to look at the menu. They have the options of bar, outdoor, and upstairs sitting. The place gives old home vibes, & very intimate setting. Saw a lot of people just drinking and chatting, like a third space. read more

Stumbled into this gem following a Padres game and then a trip to Little Italy where this wonderful place is located......let me rethink this, I'm not sure if this place is so spectacular or if our experience was so exemplary because of Donovan the bartender.......not only was he incredibly knowledgeable about all the wines and knew exactly what would tickle our palates, but as visitors, he took the time to share his favorites list of San Diego......don't let his young looks fool you, Donovan knows his shit!!! read more

I really like this wine spot in Little Italy, very centrally located and in a very cute old house. The seating areas are diverse - outside on the patio and alley, first floor indoor area and upstairs. It has a very comfy homey feel with quirky wine sayings on the walls. The diversity of wine is pretty good as well and on this particular visit, I got the red sangria. It was good but I personally like mine a little sweeter. Service here has always been great and the bartenders are helpful and friendly. I do notice that there is some confusion when people walk in as to whether they order at the downstairs bar first or if they sit down and order. I highly recommend, it's a great choice if you like wine! read more

M Winehouse - Our first night in San Diego and landed in Little Italy! Come check out M Winehouse - Wine Bars Near Me - San Diego, California

Quaint wine bar in the middle of Little Italy. Nice variety of wines to choose from, although I was pleasantly surprised how delicious the homemade sangria was, so highly recommend trying the sangria, very refreshing and flavorful. Nice place to take a load off after checking out the neighborhood. read more

My friend and I came in for a quick glass of wine but stayed for Nico! She did such a lovely job at suggesting different wines we would like based on our different tastes, that we ended up staying for 3 glasses. Not only was the wine great, so was the conversation. She gave us a lot of good info & tips for our first time in San Diego. Shoutout to Nico for such a fun experience! read more

Such a cozy wine bar! We stopped in on a visit, and the wine tender was very friendly and gave great recommendations. We had 2 different red wines and they were delicious. They also have a second story which we didn't see, but lots of guests gravitated towards there. Will be back in our next visit! read more

Absolutely ridiculous and beyond frustrating! We've been coming here multiple times with my son, only to suddenly be told, 'No children allowed.' When we questioned it, the man's excuse was, 'It's California law.' Really? We come all the way from OC just to visit this place, and now we're met with an arbitrary rule that's never been enforced before? To make matters worse, when we pushed for clarification, all we got was a dismissive, 'I'll talk to my staff.' No real explanation, no apology--just brushed off like we didn't matter. We simply wanted to enjoy our wine outside, taking in the view like we always have. This happened Saturday March 8th at night around 7 PM--guy in all black. If this is how they treat loyal customers, we won't be back." read more

I have been wanting to come to M Winehouse for so long. Located in the heart of Little Italy, this little wine shop is housed in what looks like a literal two story home. It's got cottage vibes on the outside and quirky 50-something woman vibes on the inside. You'll know what I mean when you walk in. The walls are littered with posters of cheesy sayings. Those ones that give sassy vibes about coffee, wine or age. There are two stories. You order from the bar downstairs and can sit either downstairs or upstairs. There are a bunch of board games upstairs. The upstairs area is better for larger groups while the downstairs has smaller seating options. They had a good selection of wines- all glasses at around $12-18. read more

M Winehouse - Wine Bars Near Me - San Diego, California

Visiting from LA we were walking around the area and saw this cute wine bar that resembled an old house from back in the days (the plaque said it's a historical landmark from1888). There was a sign on the sidewalk that said "oh look, it's wine o'clock" and that was the perfect time to get some wine. They had some options for seating which was the Porch, Bar area or attic, so we decided to head upstairs to attic. We had the space all to ourselves which was great. I love the shabby chic decor with sayings and drawings in frames all over the walls and a shelf full of games for us to play. This space was so cozy and inviting. We chose the table closest to the window with open air, watching the people go by as we played dominoes and enjoyed each others company. The server who was super nice and energetic, came up to take our order and serve them. Honestly, if they served actual food, other than the charcuterie board..., we probably would've stayed longer. It's like we didn't want to leave but we were too hungry. Service: great Cleanliness: great I would come back when I visit SD even though I'm not much of a wine drinker, but my friends are . read more

Loving this little wine house. Go in, order at the bar and grab a seat. Lots of options to select from. Also has beers and sangria. There's bar seating, table seating, upstairs and a little porch in front. Seating is limited, but people come and go so I've never had a problem. I wish I could sit in the porch, but usually the people who get lucky enough to claim does seats never leave! Little dim, very intimate vibes. Interesting decor. Bathroom is walking through a little hall outside the house which is actually kind of creepy, I'd recommend going with someone. read more

M Winehouse - House red - Wine Bars Near Me - San Diego, California

So dang CUUUTE!!! This little wine bar is absolutely adorbs. And not only that; they have a nice selection of wine too. Service was good albeit a tad slow since there was only one gentleman manning the fort on a busy Saturday night. However, that man was busting his arse to keep up with the crowds, and acknowledged everyone that came in. The interior space is small but comfortable. They have a patio parklet right in front that seems to be way more popular than their indoor bar. I loved reading all of the funny quotes on the walls. You know, those funny wine quotes that you'll often find in souvenir shops?! Well, they have a slew of those. They carry wine from all over the world here (France, Italy, Austria, Spain, California, etc). You can taste a splash of anything off of their menu before you commit to buying anything. You can purchase by the glass or bottle, and the prices are pretty reasonable considering that their bar is located right in the heart of Little Italy. The wine steward was really great in suggesting some wines to try based on my palate. I ended up having a few glasses of Pinot Noir and Zinfandel. I also enjoyed a scrumptious glass of their house made sangria! You guuuyyyyss.... their sangria is the shiiieeett! I wasn't going to get it until the wine steward convinced me. He was right. It was so fragrant and fruity. They're known for their house made sangria and rightfully so. It perfect to sip on when it hot outside. They have daily wine specials and they also carry light bites if you're hungry. Since I had planned on having dinner a few doors down, I just hung out and enjoyed the wine. I can see why this is a popular kick it spot. Would highly recommend if you're looking for a nice place to chill with some wine in Little Italy. read more

The only reason I'm giving it 2 stars is because the building is amazing! The wine is only okay and super over priced. They had posters everywhere advertising their cheese plate being $15 so I ordered it and then they said it didn't apply today. Mind you I thought the cheese plate delivered wasn't worth $15 but then I was charge $32 for the cheese plate. They were also completely out of Chardonnay. And then they charged the wrong bill my card and it took about 20 + minutes to figure out after I was ready to leave. Wouldn't go back. read more

This spot may not look like a wine spot , It is this wine house has a very homely feel. It's like your home, right in the heat of little Italy in San Diego . I you want to relax, this is a great spot with good service. thank me later. Shaun Rossettos read more

This place is definitely small and quaint but it is such an awesome spot to grab a night cap glass of wine after dinner. They do have charcuterie boards you can order if you need a bite to eat but their wine selection is pretty great and quite extensive. Monica was our server running the show and she was very knowledgeable on what wines we should try. There is also an upstairs area that has games to enjoy with friends while you enjoy some vino. read more

I absolutely love this place! The historic setting (little house built in 1888) is just magical, and I found my new favorite wine there. The bartender asked us what kind of wine I liked, and from very little information he was able to recommend an absolutely fabulous wine from Tooth and Nail. I have since been back for a glass of it several times, and even bought a few bottles to take home. Truly a wonderful experience! read more

M Winehouse - Adorable old house - Wine Bars Near Me - San Diego, California

This little house is a historical landmark in San Diego... it's a little house that was moved three blocks away to its final destination here in the gas lamp district.. many many years ago... I believe the gal said it was originally from the 1900s... You really do get that sense when you walk in . it's a stand up bar that sells international wines . we chose a Mexican wine from Guadalupe . A flight tasting . we had a Chardonnay, a rosé, a reserve and a Cabernet... all very good. We decided to go up stairs in this little house and wine bar to our surprise the quaint space upstairs was so cozy. It's definitely a place you would want to go sip a glass of wine they have a beautiful open window that has a balcony unfortunately , the house is too old to house people out on the balcony but you do get a beautiful view of the street and people below. We just loved all of the sayings that were posted on the wall directly related to wine and the enjoyment that you have when you drink wine . I believe this was the owner, Beth's inspiration. It was definitely an unexpected find.... read more

Little, house looking establishment on the corner in Little Italy. Nice selection of wine. Beer is in bottles. You can sit in or out and enjoy people watching. The only downside is that you have to walk a 1/4 mile to use the public restrooms. read more

We decided to stop in on my friends birthday, just based on how it looked from the outside. inside was even cuter, I love a good historical site. We were greeted by the cutest sweet pup, and the welcoming was awesome. Had a few glasses of the sangria and it's wonderful. on a nice warm day in downtown SD, it was perfect. Def would recommend stopping by for some relaxing ambiance and welcoming people. read more

Absolutely stellar little wine bar in Little Italy. Stumbled across this place while we were looking for a place to wait out the 4th of July post-fireworks traffic. BEST sangria I've had so far, and great service. The interior is small, and very quaint. They have a cute little patio, some inner bar seating, and a few tables upstairs. Perfect for small to mid-sized groups to chill out. I LOVE that they're open so late (1am), and that they sell retail bottles of wine as well! I can't wait to come back! read more

Pleasant surprise! We were staying in Little Italy for a short trip and wandered in to M Winehouse for a drink. Super cute inside, with a great overall vibe. It's very casual and cozy. We sat at one of the two high-tops on the main floor. There is an upstairs area that we didn't venture up to check out. The bartender was very cool and helpful with our wine selection. This is a place we will be back to for sure on our next trip to the area - highly recommend for a chill place to kick back with a good wine read more

Awesome little house that I never noticed until yesterday. It was a Friday and we were trying to be spontaneous, so no plans just winging it all. Ate food and wanted more drinks and you know how it is, theirs always a waitlist, or a line. We saw this 2 story house with a cute front patio, interesting little place... we walked in not knowing what to do, but saw people walking down the stairs so we said,"if there's people leaving then their should be opened spots then..." the 2 bartenders stopped us and let us know to order drinks here first then can go up stairs... looked through their menu and we noticed that they were voted best sangria. So we had to try it. 2 big glasses for us and down the hatch. It was yummy but it seemed like juice more than wine. Otherwise a cute little hangout place, possibly a place to study... etc. or cute date to stop by for a quick drink. In the end, we closed out and they give you a little note book to write in and I didn't have much time since more people wanted to come in, but definitely made it like a,"thank you for coming to our home" experience. Should stop by! read more

This is the greatest find in San Diego if you are a wine lover. First, they are located in a historic home. The entire area is modern with larger building and then there is the cutest house tucked in to it all. They have a great little patio and small bar. It's very intimate and I loved it. In talking to our bartender, Ivan we learn his family owns it and he was extremely knowledgeable. Not just about the wine, but also the house and the area. He was phenomenal to talk with. Let's talk about these two women that came and sat on the patio outside the window with their puppers. Ivan literally opens the window and leans out to serve them. ALSO, he brought their puppers water. It was beyond the cutest thing I have ever seen. They are known for their Sangria, so of course I had a glass and it lived up to its name. They have a great selection, you should stop by. They also have a second floor that is very open and has a lot of games available to play. If I lived in the area I would see this being my go to spot. Highly recommend. read more

I asked for a smaller cheeseboard other than the one lsrge cheeseboard they offered..it's a small shop and I was told the only option is to order the large..perhaps cut in half for one person! Go to another place for wine & cheese!!.....after asking to take down my review because they have wonderful cheese board..that may be so..but being a small shop with very few customers on a Sunday afternoon, accommodating to the few customers you have should be a priority..you just got hit with the private yelper! read more

My mom & I have spent the week here in San Diego, and while we have found some cool wine spots, nothing matches our experience here at M Winehouse.

The place is beautiful, and is as welcoming as it is delightful. Will absolutely recommend travelers to come here! read more
