    I visited the Third Place with my friend on a Wednesday evening for a comedy show. They have a very small parking lot, but we fortunately scored a spot. The building itself isn't very big, but I do appreciate the calm & homey atmosphere. In the daytime, the building is a coffee shop, called Neat Coffee. Then it turns into Third Place on select days, & they host occasional community events. My friend & I each got a glass of their orange wine. We also shared a serving of their grilled cheese, & added prosciutto & fig jam at an additional cost, but it was absolutely worth it. It was a great event & we are definitely planning on visiting again!

    Ayo we came for the jazz night and wine. And that's what we did, we did come around 10pm so towards the end. We did luck out with princes parking but it was packed af inside so had to go outside, which was chill and cold and could still hear the music but alas, vibes. Service was quick and helpful deciding what wine to get. Swag

    I do really enjoy the vibes of third place and think the concept of a coffee shop turning into a wine bar in the evening is excellent. The wines themselves are very solid. My complaint I think may come from when we specifically went. Tuesday's are "Taco Tuesday," and we were informed that they only had tacos and chips and guacamole to serve as a result of this, instead of anything on their normal food menu. We were fine to do this, but the tacos themselves came out a bit cold and dry. We do plan to return and look forward to it, as again the vibes and wines are great. However, we won't be returning on a Tuesday as we'd like to have access to the full food menu, which, based on other reviews, looks really good.

    Love the ambiance and atmosphere here! They are newer so they have yet to expand their selection of wines but we definitely enjoyed our night here. Their chef's board is delicious, highly recommend along with their salad. I would recommend that the chefs add some balsamic drizzle or some extra topper to the salad to just round it out nicely! We bought a bottle as that's always the easiest way to have a great night. I also really appreciated that they let you taste the wine before you fully commit to a bottle! Hope you stay around for a long time

    I went to Third Place with my friends. The food was yummy, the service was great and the place is so cute! They have indoor seating and outdoor seating both with such a fun vibe. I don't drink wine but they had a full menu of non alcoholic beverages that were so delicious. I would highly recommend Third Place for your next party or girls night out!

    Randomly came to this place and everything about it went beyond my expectations. The vibes were cute, inside and out. The sourdough bread was warm and fresh and tasted homemade. The orange wine was crisp and it's hard to find a good orange wine around here! Justin was also so kind and friendly!! Will 10/10 be going back!

    I was excited to discover a new, local wine bar in the neighborhood. I found them on Instagram! The staff was super helpful and even let you taste wines before committing to a glass which was nice. There was a good variety of wines, unique to what I've seen at some different wine bars. The outside patio was like a backyard vibe with several tables. It's a pretty quiet spot, I think if there was music or even a DJ could make it more lively.

    Third Place Wine Bar is all about the vibes. The inside has a great atmosphere, and the outdoor patio in the back really takes it to another level, perfect spot to hang out and unwind. It's one of those places you can easily spend a few hours without realizing it. Love this spot.

    It's Me at a craft event!

    I have been here a few times now and it's just magical and perfect for a little date night or private event. Enjoy!

    Lovely new local natural wine bar that shares space with Neat Coffee (which happens to be a great spot for espresso & coffee). It's chill in here which I really appreciate. Nice vibes, cute patio, good music and friendly people.

The chef uses his free range of creativity and offers such unique and amazing ingredients in all of his dishes. He truly cares and has a passion for beautiful food. My wife and I know alot of chefs and restaurants in SoCal and this is some of the best food we can find. Chef Jonathan and his kitchen staff are all one of a kind. They shop for only the freshest ingredients and offer a variety of seasonal dishes throughout the year. The Pork Belly Taco has been a long standing menu item that literally NEVER disappoints. It is incredible. Every tostada the chef creates is amazing. And the Green Goddess dressing on their salad is worthy of bottling and drinking straight. The wine program is also incredible. The range of wine is amazing and everyone on staff is SO knowledgeable about every wine they offer. If you aren't sure about wine or how to pick out you can give them the simplest explanation of what wine you want and they will bring over several bottles to chose from and will give you an in depth and beautiful description of all of them before you decide what you want. Amazing food, wine, music and vibes are all huge perks but what really sets Bar Tinto over the edge is the hospitality and kindness of all the staff. Great for date night, for a night out with friends, a spot to bring the parents too, literally any occasion. We look forward to sitting in tinto and enjoying the food and wine at least twice a week!!

The parking lot situation can be confusing but thankfully there is ample parking right across the street. Semi Tropic wines is located on an unassuming street but is very beautiful and cool inside. They also have a spacious patio for outdoor seating. I had a sparking wine that was juicy, slightly sweet, and refreshing. There were limited wines options this night but I think that's partly because the menu was "curated." Lots of non-alcoholic options which was a pleasant surprise. Menu is on the pricier side. This night we came because they were hosting the food pop up "Three Pigs" which offered a variety of yakitori skewers. We ordered one of everything and my favorites were the beef, chicken thigh, and cucumber salad. I'd love to come back and try Semi Tropic's house menu, but if they keep up a steady rotation of cool pop ups like this I think that would be an amazing idea too! I'm looking forward to their future events. We arrived early in the night (about 5:30pm) so there weren't many people. By the time we left closer to 7pm. the line to order at the bar was considerably longer and the place was packed. They host live jazz Thursdays and Fridays which I would definitely come back to enjoy for longer! Semi Tropic Wines is a neat place that would be fun for a first date, or a great place to begin your night out (if you're not worried about price). Cheers!

I'd been a few times but since it's not very conveniently located to me it had been a while since I'd been. The hubby and I were on our way down to San Diego so we stopped in to get a gift for a friend. We wanted to get him a special bourbon but couldn't decide out of the dozens of bottles. One of their helpful staff came by and asked if he could help. He asked about a price range and recommended the Old Fitzgerald, which we'd never even heard of and never tried, but decided to take a chance. We were very impressed with it when we tried it with our friends later on that evening--the most smooth bourbon I think I've ever had. The cashier even went out of her way to find the branded velvet gift bag for the bottle, which was a nice way to present our gift. We were also glad to see that they had a selection of gluten-free beers, as the hubby had developed a gluten sensitivity recently. Great selection with a friendly, professional staff--it doesn't get much better than this.

He asked a staff member for a specific wine bottle and he said they didn't have it. They spent a few more minutes talking and the staff member left without any convincing recommendations for my brother. My brother kept looking and then Michael showed up. Not only he found the wine he was looking for initially, but he also made some other great recommendations. The whole interaction was polite, friendly, interesting, and enjoyable. My brother walked out of Hi-Time with a smile. Thank you, Michael!
