We (three adults) walked in on a Friday evening around 7PM and had an absolute blast! We were able to snag a table, but if we had been even three minites late, we may have had to wait. There was live music, which was a really nice surprise! A pianist and a singer. We shared flash fried peppers and warmed mixed nuts. The peppers needed a little more salt, and I was able to get more salt fairly quickly from the staff. They had a decent selection of wine, and the vodka martini I had was nice. I think it's a lovely place to stop by for pre-dinner drinks (i think they had a full menu of heavier foods, not just appetizers if you're wanting something more filling), or after dinner drinks. It's also right by the movie theater, so probably nice for that as well I probably don't need to list all the occasions a drink could be had, hahaha. Friendly staff, casual and welcoming vibes, and a small intimate layout made the place feel really cozy and accessible. I would totally visit again next time I'm in town! read more

The food here is great, everything is well portioned and tasty. The service is amazing, super friendly and attentive. The location is a little small inside however, I feel like for something very intimate this is the perfect place. Parking is great there's a structure across with tons of parking. Great place to go drink some wine and have a charcuterie board. read more

I had a lot of fun here on a Thursday night which happened to be music trivia night. The pianist, Tom, played different songs and you have to figure out the song and an associated trivia question. The bar was really packed but there were still a few open seats. Generous pours of wine and the Castaway pear martini was so tasty. Great locals type spot read more

We stumbled upon this little bar/restaurant upon waiting for our reservation at x fish, which is right across. KJ was just the sweetest!!! she took her time and explained all the martinis to me and my friend and highly recommended the caramel apple martini. It was sooooo good!! And so strong! Definitely worth it. We only had the drinks but I saw her take out a charcuterie board for another customer and it looked so pretty! We will definitely be coming back. We didn't finish our drinks when our reservation for x fish was ready and she even offered to have a to go cup for us! She was just the sweetest! Highly recommended! The place has the cutest decor as well, so cute for photos. The parking is at the structure across the Ralph's, a lot of parking. read more

This is the perfect spot for a glass of wine and a small bite. There are a great variety of wines to choose from and majority of them appeared to have been from Ca. I think the thing that truly makes this place stand out is the ambiance. This place is straight out of a fairytale and was just so whimsy and beautiful. Highly recommend it in the area. read more

It's a hard pass for me. My martini was all olive juice in a thick stemmed martini glass. There are no water glasses, they provided plastic cups. (Wish i took a photo) meatballs and red sauce tasted dry and straight from the can. I got the pasta with veggies i forgot what it was called but Tabasco rescued the dish. DONT ORDER THE CEASAR SALAD. Tasted like they dressed it in anchovy oil or something (yes i know there are anchovies on top and in the dressing itself. It was legit a fish sauce salad. Bummer because the inside decorations are cute. Super slow service too. Received our food with no utensils until asked. PASS! read more

Came in on Mother's Day, very quiet but a great intro to this establishment. Great conversation with the bartender, had an Old Fashioned and the GF had a Dirty Dutchess, both amazing! We will certainly be back Thursday-Saturday when the piano is going and the place is packed. read more

We checked out this bar last night and loved it!! Such a cute little spot in downtown Brea where they have live music by Chris the piano man. It's self seating with a great wine selection and full bar. The campfire smores drink was delicious!! My husband got the part time lover which he always enjoyed as well. We loved the live music!! We would most certainly return especially for the music. Loved the atmosphere! Service was great. read more

Literally a piano-bar! This place has a lush, speakeasy vibe with eclectic decore and puzzling layout. We didn't know there was a back room until we left! The pepperonccino martini was described as "surprising " and it was exactly that! It was spicy, salty, briney, and had a pepper garnish. It was a perfect compliment for the flatbread. I'd try a different martini next time OR better yet, it would be amazing if they would have a high end mocktail or two on the menu. Yes, it a wine bar, but a bougie option for non/light drinkers would be the frosting on the cake if this place. read more

Nine Social in Downtown Brea is every bit as enchanting as it is elegant. Wander inside and you'll find yourself charmed by their delicious wine and craft cocktail menu, live piano music, and cozy, whimsical ambiance. I've been here a couple times now to try out their different drinks and each one I've had hasn't disappointed. If you enjoy creative, flavorful and fruity drinks, you'll likely be impressed by their menu. My favorite of the cocktail lineup has been the Castaway which features pear-infused vodka, elderflower, lemon, and the most adorable surprise garnish. I won't ruin the surprise but I cannot recommend it enough. The Butterfly Fizz comes with the most refreshing flavors of cucumber, mint and elderflower. Both drinks evoke the feeling of sipping on libations inside a whimsical, magical garden. Service has been fast and friendly each time I've visited, which was pretty early into their opening hours. I'm not sure how this place gets when it gets busier later into the night, but everyone I came with and I have had a great experience so far. read more

Some good wines. One wine I really liked, and purchased three glasses of, couldn't get the bottle price for because "I should have asked for bottle price from the beginning" sort of put me off. Plenty of wine bars around don't have to be swindled here. Should have told me f on the get. read more

Bartender was very lukewarm and just wasn't great to where I'd rather go somewhere else next time.

If you're looking for a quaint and relaxing spot with good wine and piano and music this place is for you. This place makes you feel as if you in a corner bar in Paris. It's a must try they have special dinner night with wine parings or you can just show up relax in their speak easy environment . If though they had a piano player there you could still have a conversation with friends . A must try for a date night or girls night out read more

I really love this small intimate wine bar behind Macallans! We were waiting for a table at the sushi spot and decided to grab some drinks. The inside is cozy and very pretty. One thing led to another and we ordered what we try ought would be a small charcuterie to babysit the drinks. Out comes this stunning platter of heaven! Honestly it was so good I should have abandoned sushi to eat more here. The drinks were excellent and quite strong. The service is amazing. The server even walked us to tour the members only section. A great date night spot. read more

Visited this spot on a spontaneous thought for a GNO after a tough week at work. It was the best decision as this place was so cute. It's a wine bar, tucked to the side of Macallan's that features live music. The ambiance was perfect- dark and mysterious. We ordered a few drinks.... Ely- 10/10! a bold and beautiful glass of cab. So smooth and dry, just how I like them. I had to limit myself to one glass bc of the 40+ miles commute home however wished I had a bottle to bring back with me. Old-fashion is what you'll expect, not my favorite however my friend def enjoyed it. Dirty Duchess martini w/vodka, extra olives was also good! Another gf ordered a berry cocktail and it was yummy! Lastly, espresso martini was the perfect night cap. There was a community painting that you could contribute to... I really was debating on adding to it however thought it looked lovely as is! It was a nice touch as all of the supplies were left out for accessibility. The vibes were great, they had a pianist playing some great songs and there was a live singer that joined around 7:45pm. Our attentive server that evening was Justin- he's wonderful! Took us on a lil tour of the place which is connected to macallans and a sneak peek of the private room for members only! Definitely will be back here again soon! read more

Short rib grilled cheese is amazing... but for the non alcohol drinkers who just wanna enjoy the short rib, for some reason (as silly as this is as I know this is a place for alcoholic beverages) their sodas never taste good whatsoever no matter which one you get lol read more

I agree with another reviewer that this place has a very strong smokey smell. It reminded me of my old next door neighbor who smoked a pack a day- where the odor seeps into the furniture. We took our drinks right outside to get fresh air, but there really isn't much space out there. If this wasn't an issue, it would definitely be a cool hangout spot. They do have a nice selection of wines too and the people who work there are very friendly read more
