I love coming here to wind down with a glass of wine, and relax on their spacious patio. This is the perfect spot to people watch, catch some sun, and just chill out!

Pacific Wine Merchants - Outdoor Patio - Tobacco Shops Near Me - Upland, California

I've been intending to pop in here for years, just enough on the edge of Old-Town Upland to forget about unless you come up 1st Street. The day finally came and chalked it up to reconnaissance, I came, I saw, and I made mental notes. First, there are several businesses sharing this old packing house (it's a genuine one, not faux modern like what Redlands did), so aim for the farthest door to the right when facing from the street. Don't be a dummy like me and try to open a door marked "Employees Only." Once I got situated, I was greeted and shadowed slightly as I explored the wine cellar area, a large room to the left upon entering. Conversation with the fellow working brought some interesting tidbits to light. For example, they close relatively early, even on weekends, so perhaps have dinner nearby, stop through for a cigar, and enjoy the live music. See online social media sites for the schedule. Bands range from jazz, blues, and rock- just go with the flow. They have outdoor seating areas, so you can enjoy cigars in or outside. The humidor is a modest walk-in type, well regulated climate, and a nicely curated selection. I picked one for my humidor at home and browsed their wines. I found the selection and prices to be quite good, and as stated, this was a first-look visit, I saw some things that I will definitely return for. I keep those cards to my chest, but suffice it to say, I'm eager to get a few into my own collection! Casual vibe here, I liked the location and interior layout, next time, I'll stay a bit longer. read more

Pacific Wine Merchants - Modest curated selection of domestic and international wines, fair prices too. - Tobacco Shops Near Me - Upland, California

Great wine and beer selection. Live music on Friday nights! There will be cigar smoke outdoors but there's a couple of seats around the corner outside and a few inside if the smoke bothers you. I had a cab from their bar and it was pretty good. Customer service is great and patrons are really friendly as well. If you're into beer they have a decent selection as well. All in all a cool place to grab a drink or two. read more

This place is great to relax after a good day trip to L.A. get off the train walk into Pacific Wine get yourself a beer or wine, a Cigar and unwind from a long day. I've been coming here since they open 1995. read more

Pacific Wine Merchants - Good Red Blend from Lodi CA. - Tobacco Shops Near Me - Upland, California

One of the best cigar/wine/beer lounges in SoCal. Prices are excellent, selections second to none and the vibe can't be beat. Just spent my birthday hanging with friends smoking cigars and drinking Früli's while watching the NFL playoffs on their outdoor patio, can't complain about that. Staff and regulars are all friendly and welcoming. If you're looking to just put the watch in your pocket for a few and enjoy a quiet, chill place to pass the time, this would definitely be up your alley. read more

I love this shop. I've been coming here for 10+ years. I introduced this shop to some cigar rep friends of mine that this shop now carries their cigars. Brought a lot of friends here and gave a lot of people their 1st cigar experience here. I was stoked when I heard Mike was taking over as Mike and Gregg have always been the best hosts. I came in last week and Gregg made me not want to come back until he leaves to Wyoming or where ever he said he's going. Just such unwarranted rudeness and aggression from him from the moment I walked in until I left. He was super nice to a guy that works in one of the nearby shops that came in, but gave me a completely different attitude. Just absolutely ridiculous. I've spent thousands here over the years. Used to get phone calls when certain stock would arrive. Since I moved I don't come in as often anymore and guess that means my business is no longer wanted. From Gregg's attitude, scoffing at me, talking to me like he's scolding a child, and telling me straight up he wouldn't sell me a box of cigars for my wedding, I'm not sure what reason I have to support this establishment anymore. Never had an issue buying boxes before, apparently there is one now when the box has significant importance to me. read more

Cool place just off the beaten path. Went for the live music and enjoyed some of my favorite wines by the bottle while there. The place is unique in its own right and I will certainly be happy to return. read more

First time here! My husband and I had just finished having fun at the Axe Lair and decided to check it out PWM! My husband likes cigars and I like wine. Great selection of cigars. I drank the Honoro Vera Merlot, smooth! We sat on their patio, it was relaxing! Looks like they also have live music entertainment but we had to leave. Next time. read more

I often come here for cigars as they have Padron cigars at a decent cost. There is a bar for beer, wine and wine cocktails. Outdoor seating for cigars and food is available. They're located next to the Amtrak station so there are folks coming in from different cities. Super chill vibe. Servers are knowledgeable about beer, wine and offerings they have. I enjoy this place. read more

This is a Great place to grab a drink and a great cigar I give this place a Five star review. read more

I had a fairly good time overall. I don't know if they call it Old Town Upland but it is one of many establishments that do serve alcohol, one or two breweries that are in walking distance. I did notice that they have live bands and a store inside the establishment. Also they do see people smoke cigars out at the patio and sell them as well. I did a have a local with me so it made it much better experience, cheers. read more

As soon as you walk in; you're greeted by very friendly people who are genuinely glad to see you. If you're lucky, you'll stop in while they have a live band playing outside! Their prices are reasonable, it's walking distance from the Upland, California Metrolink station, and it's also walking distance from some pretty good restaurants and bars. Go ahead and make yourself a "Metrolink trip" there on the weekend. You'll knock back one or 2 glasses (Don't kid yourself...BOTTLES! LOL), toddle back to the Metrolink train, get home, and reflect on a great getaway day you had. Trust me on this one! read more

Love the selection of cigars. Great place to come and enjoy a cigar for me and some wine for my wife. Highly recommended

Nice live music, before covid. if they still do it. Waitress was super sweet and saw her helping someone who had a cane. can bring in your own cigars. really nice. read more

Always great friendly helpful staff. Wine, cigars, live music in a chill environment.

Cigars, wine and craft beer. Live music on the weekend. Great place to hang out and enjoy a cigar.

Great bands if you like to smoke cigars and have a beer on the weekends. Wines are literally measured per glass. No food available.

Just a heads up to anyone who sees this as dog friendly, they do not allow any. So hopefully yelp edits that soon to reflect it.

I enjoyed my visit to PWM, most particularly the patio. I was able to enjoy live music on a Saturday evening, and I would go back. The wine was decent, although it would have been nice to have more to choose from at the bar, but still satisfying. I'm not a beer or cigar person, so I can't comment on that aspect. I wish the patio was better suited to the live music, but hey, I'll take it! read more

Terrible selection of wines. You can find wines cheaper at Trader Joe's, Bevmo, Total wine, Costco, Stater Bro's, Ralphs for 20-30% less. I was looking for wines from regions like Baja California and they had none. I would not recomend shopping here. Manager guy with long hair is unhelpful as well. read more

Perfect wine selection! Very helpful and great prices. I love the scent of their cigars being smoked outside on their patio. Entertainment on the patio Friday and Saturday. A small, local, comfortable place to have a glass of wine, a beer, and a cigar. Open now! Finally! Hated missing their music and hanging out in this time of COVID. A couple of really great guys always there to great you (I think I saw a woman there once, lol.) read more

Kat and Gabe are amazing behind the bar! They are extremely friendly, attentive, AND knowledgeable! They work very hard and strive to perfect their craft. We love going and trying all the new taps they have, as well as the beer in the fridge that you can purchase! I definitely recommend this place, and ask for them if you ever stop in! read more

Pacific Wine Merchants - a glass of water and a can of endless summer - Tobacco Shops Near Me - Upland, California

I have recently started going to PWM on Friday evenings to have some wine and listen to live music. It's very relaxed, and everyone is very friendly. The wine prices are reasonable, and you can also get a nice plate of meats and cheeses if you want a little snack to go along with your music and vino. Highly recommended if you want to listen to some live music and still chill out at the same time. Here's their event calendar in case you were wondering. https://www.pacificwinemerchants.com/main.asp?request=ARTICLES&article=10 read more

This place seems very popular. Never been here before but I'm here right now. Fun place. Historic building (old train depot right next to the current Upland train station/metrolink). It's a happening Friday night here. Cool band playing right now. Craft Beer, wine, cigars out on the patio, crowded. I'd come back again sometime. Ps. If you want to sit outside on the patio, you better like the smell of cigars because believe me, just about everybody on the patio is smoking one. See my photo below. read more

Pacific Wine Merchants - Friday night January 25, 2019 - Tobacco Shops Near Me - Upland, California

I see a handful of bad reviews do to service issues, come on Really! They have two or three servers tops even on busy nights. If they hired more the prices would surely go up! This place has s great vibe, a great knowledge staff that knows all about their wine, beer and cigars--And who else lets you buy a bottle of wine from their store at LOW retail prices and drink it right there and listen to a Live Band with no cover charge?? No Body That's Who!!! Quit being so snooty, wait your turn in line and you will get great service. We love this place!! read more

My husband and I have been coming here for the last few years. .In all the years we've been coming here, we have never been charged a cork fee until now. The owner wants to charge $10 to uncork a bottle of wine and we purchased the whole bottle. We didn't buy it by the glass. This is ridiculous! We are considering not coming back here anymore. read more

I really enjoy coming here. I have been twice; once for a wine tasting and another just to smoke a cigar and have a glass of wine. The wine tasting was fun and introduced me to do wonderful reds. The cigar selection is wonderful!! They have a patio where you can smoke and drink and watch TV (usually sports is on). Great service when I come here too. I feel really cared for. read more

Lost a long time customer today. I bought a box of cigars, a lighter, and a bottle of port wine. Over $60. Since wine was not over $20, ($17.99) I Was not allowed to drink my wine unless I paid $10 for a plastic cup. I pleaded that I was fine with a $5 cork charge, but employee said it was the owners rule! Horrible rule. Will never come back. Lots of my friends play there and agreed it is a stupid rule. All of us are Switching locations. Good luck. read more

First time here. Was sent by the hubby to pickup something for his humidor. The moment I walked in the staff was so attentive, friendly and helpful! What a delightful atmosphere. He was able to answer my questions or I should say my husband's as I had to have him send photo of what he needed and spoke to staff directly. I'll be back to try the wine suggestions read more

Great time last night Mr.GC and I out and about in downtown Upland. A nice change of scenery. We like having a cigar once in awhile. I came upon this little place awhile back waiting for an appointment. I thought oh!, this would be a neat spot to chill have a smoke and relax with some light live entertainment. It definitely is a happy happening spot. Everyone was helpful. Even the friend of the owner helped us picking out the great selection of cigars to fit both of our styles. Wine tasting, single glasses affordable and a nice selection of brewery beers, which Mr.GC enjoyed. The environment was very upbeat and positive. No food tho,but there is several eatery's that is walking distance. Great Friday night vibe of happy ppl. read more

Based on previous experiences I would give 5 stars. Based on last experience I would leave 0 stars if possible so I'm just going to go with 3. I have been coming here at least a few times per month for the last year or so now. My wife and I came in after dinner at 9:15pm on Saturday night. Online says they are open until 10pm. When we arrived there were a few groups at the outside tables smoking and the band was still up on the stage. When we got inside the bartender in the front said they had already done last call. I mentioned that the hours online said 10 but didn't make a big deal of it and we were going to leave. But then he said that just the bar was closing and the shop in the back was still open, witch was fine because I only planned to have a cigar anyway. I went to buy a cigar from the other guy at the register in the back. When I told him I planned to smoke it out on the patio he said the patio was closing. I told him the bartender said it was still open but that it was no big deal and said I was going to put the cigar back and not get it. Then he said that if I could finish it in the next 30 minutes or so before the patio closed that it was fine. I said ok and that that was what I was planning on doing hence the purchase of a smaller cigar. So I completed the purchase and bought a new lighter too. My wife and I walked out to the patio but there was no ashtray at the table we were going to sit at. I went back in and asked the bartender for an ashtray for the table. He looked confused and said that they were closing and I couldn't smoke out there. I told him that when I came in all he said was that the bar was closing and that the guy in the back said I still had til 10pm for the patio and reiterated that the hours online said 10. He started to talk to the guy in the back but by this point I was just starting to get frustrated and just said fuck it and left. It was only 9:30pm when I was left I was only in there for 10 minutes. I could have easily finished my cigar in remaining amount of time and even if I couldn't finish who cares?! It's my cigar and the patio was open til 10! I would have just put it out and left at 10. When we left the band was still there and the patio was still full of people sitting and smoking and finishing drinks. I ended up just smoking the cigar at home on my porch because I had already cut it anyway. The point is that if I wanted to smoke a cigar on the porch by myself I would have just got one from my humidor at home and had it then. But my wife and I felt like going out and I would have preferred to get out smoke in a bit more of a social setting and enjoyed the evening that way. The only reason I purchased the cigar there is because I believed I still had 30-40 minutes to finish it on the patio before the posted closing time of 10pm. But instead I just got a huge run around and ended up spending $17 on a cigar that I didn't even need. I do like this place but after that shit I won't be back for a while. read more

Have been meaning to come back here for a while and am glad we did. My wife and I were helped immediately by a gentleman who knew the wine and cigars very well. He was able to make several great recommendations. Will definitely be back for more as well as their Friday wine tasting! read more

Have to say me and the gf came here last night and we had a great time. We got there during there happy hour, its from 5 to 7:30 Monday- Thursday, they have 3 tap beers for $3.50 and cheese plates for $5. I of course tried all 3 my favorite was a Pomona Lager but the other two were IPAs and were delicious, especially for $3.50. My girlfriend got 3 glasses and she enjoyed all of them. The bartender did a great job of asking questions and figuring what she should try next. What I thought was awesome was they had fancy ass vending machines that allowed you to purchase samples of several wines for about $1.25-$2.50 with pre paid cards. We met a very cool regular name Cliff who made us feel very welcomed. They have wine tasting on the last Friday of every month with BBQ so we will definitely be there. read more

This review is meant to only address one aspect of the establishment: the wine bar. Now, don't get me wrong, I love technology. However I feel there is such thing as overuse of a good idea, and this wine bar is victim to that. It has an automatic wine dispenser. Rows of bottles are lined up in a device that will dispense a perfect one ounce pour of a wine of your choice with the swipe of a "wine debit card". Not your debit card mind you. You need to buy a wine card, load it up, and then you may sample to your hearts content. Here is my core issue with this device: I want to talk to people about what I am drinking. When my boyfriend and I selected a wine to try, instead of fun chit-chat over the pour, the bar-tender walked to the machine, placed the glasses under the spigot and pushed the button. It was done, and so was I. read more

On New Years Eve day, me and my honey drove past Pacific Wine Merchants when he asks if I want to stop and go in. Does a monkey want a banana? Does a squirrel want a nut? Does a dog want his bone? Of course I want to stop and go in! Stop teasing me! Pull over NOW! And so begins our exploration of this man cavish type establishment. We first enter a room that looks like an outdated den with a bar (hence the man cave description). At said bar, they serve the adult beverage I dislike the most (beer) as well as the adult beverage I like the most (wine). What a conundrum! Then we walk through to the next room which contains a gazillion bottles of fine wine. From the low end of the price range to the incredibly high you could feed a village at that price range. Also saw a pretty impressive assortment of IPA beers even though I don't like the stuff. Off to the side is another smaller, claustrophobic sized room containing cigars and such. I did not enter that room but could imagine all the interesting manly smells and such in there. Plenty of staff on hand to assist you with selecting your drink or smoke of choice and to laugh AT or laugh WITH you as your private discussions illustrate your sheer ignorance of the product(s). After romping through rows and rows of vino, I select a modestly price Pinot Grigo highly rated by Wine Spectator. But for my honey, no way! If he's going to imbibe, he's going for it with the higher end stuff. He selects an imported 2007 red wine from Italy. We share this bottle at our DIY New Years Eve dinner at home. I'm not even going to try to translate (mangle) the name or all the Italian language on the label. See the picture and simply trust me when I say this stuff must be the nectar of the gods! I think I even heard angelic singing when I took my first sip. Now I'm ruined! How the heck am I supposed to drink that stockpile of swill I have collected from local wineries, friends, family, and of course, BevMo?! Ugh! Well, as they say, it's a tough job, but someone's got to do it! So I will do it, but at the same time, plotting, scheming, planning to get back to this mother land for some more of that nectar of the gods! read more
