    I was introduced to the Crush Pad through a friend of mine . We met for drinks and to catch up due to hectic work schedules. The crush pad offers wine (single glass or flights ) kombucha , beers . It is in a really cute warehouse like atmosphere shared with a coffee shop (Jones coffee) and a pizza shop (window ) . They offer live music jazz 1-3 pm on the weekends. The crush pad is opened until 8 pm. There is a parking lot or street parking both free. I ordered the flights and my friend order a large glass of Chardonnay . Service was fantastic, the music they play (fantastic) not loud but where you can enjoy it . The prices are reasonable. I'll definitely be back .

    Wine and beer flight was great. Nice ambience, chill vibes. Cool art on the walls.

    Byron Blatty wines is a boutique winery founded by Mark & Jenny Blatty in 2014. Based in Santa…read moreClarita, Byron Blatty focuses on limited-edition, hand-crafted wines made with grapes from family-owned vineyards in Los Angeles. They recently opened a tasting room in Highland Park, so I stopped in to check it out. The tasting room is quaint & cozy. They offer three curated tastings: Monthly special ($27), Reserve ($40) or Library ($20) or you can order by the glass. I selected the Library Tasting. I'll be honest, I'm not a huge fan of reds but these were excellent. My tasting consisted of a Grenache (2017), a Syrah (2017), Alicante Bouschet (2017), & Evenfall (2016). Each one was well balanced, the notes were lovely, and the finish was smooth. During my tasting I had a wonderful conversation with Al & Mark. Al recently started working here, and she has amazing energy. Mark is also very personable and enthusiastic about his wine. He let me try some of the Anonymous, which is a secret blend and listed as "Origin & Vintage Unknown." It was fantastic! After trying Byron Blatty Wines, I'm now a fan of reds. I even bought a bottle to take home. I will most definitely be back to enjoy more of these delicious wines and an enjoyable conversation with Al.

The place got packed pretty quickly so it was hard to move around. For the most part people just hang out at their table. The great part is that you can bring your own food and they have nice live music ( think Hotel California, and California Dreamin type of tunes). The crowd is mature and laid back. I like that people could bring their dogs and let them walk around, but in the back of my mind I was worried about stepping on someone's paw or in a puddle of #1. Luckily that didn't happen. The owners are really nice said they're expanding so that's great news. They have a nice selection of wine. On their paper menu. Tip- scan their QR code and you'll find more drinks- my group stuff two bottles of wine but I believe I saw someone drinking a glass of sangria? Nice to have a spot like this in town to relax and BYOF.

I can't believe it took us this long to finally go because WOW! First of all, Todd and Melanie are the sweetest. So welcoming, so friendly, and just genuinely great hosts. They made the whole experience feel relaxed and special without trying too hard. The atmosphere completely transported me. It felt like we were in Paso Robles or Temecula on a random cozy wine night. Dim lighting, great energy, amazing pours. Ugh! such a vibe 10/10. For wine, I had two glasses. The NV Malbec and the 2023 Rosé of Pinot Noir. The Malbec was 100% hands down my favorite. Bold, smooth and packed with flavor..... just how I like my wine! The rosé was crisp and refreshing too. Anyway, if you love good wine and great service, this place is a total hidden gem. We'll definitely be back for more wine!

This bar is tucked inside Vroman's Bookstore (already one of the most charming and iconic bookstores in the area) so the entire experience feels like stepping into a warm, literary universe. You can browse for a new book, take in the bookstore's atmosphere, and then walk straight into the bar. Honestly, it's the perfect outing. What makes 1894 truly special is how intentionally it celebrates literature. Everything in the bar pays homage to the bookstore. The drink menu is full of clever, book-inspired names. You'll find cocktails like Pride and PearJudice Pride, Fifty Shades of Earl Grey, and other fun literary twists. Every drink feels like a little wink to readers, writers, and book lovers, and it adds such a unique charm to the experience. The vibe is super quaint and warm, dim lighting, and a creative atmosphere that makes you want to stay for hours. The wine is on the pricier side ($19-$21 per glass), but the quality delivers. Customer service was excellent. One of the bartenders spent time chatting with us. He pointed out a chalk artwork behind the bar a dramatic portrait he drew himself featuring expressive, literary-style faces, like Edgar Allan Poe, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, etc. It fits perfectly with the creative, bookish aesthetic of the bar. If you're into books, wine, and unique experiences, 1894 is a spot you absolutely can't miss. Perfect for a date, a solo unwind-with-a-book moment, or a fun night with friends who appreciate a good story and a great drink.
