Bodega Wine Bar

The man who took our number and then sat us is out of this world in customer service. The bar was packed, had a line, and he showed up so kind and calm. I wish I knew him name (but he mentioned being from the Midwest) - but he is the reason I want to go back. Truly superb customer service from him at various touch points throughout the eve.

I had walked by this charming place several times while visiting my son who lives in the area and made a note to stop in before I left. Finally on my last evening there we stopped in for dinner. I ordered the pepperoni-mushroom pizza and let me tell you it was tasty and very fresh. The atmosphere is lovely, comfortable and casual. I've been back in Michigan now for a few days and am already looking forward to going back. This time for breakfast too.

Great selection of wine and beer, food was very good. We shared the chopped salad and a humus plate, good sized portions for reasonable prices. Comfortable atmosphere and it was a very nice evening so the windows were open and there was ample patio seating. The server was very nice, didn't give the impression he was trying to turn the table over quickly, so we could enjoy our food, drinks and conversation without feeling rushed.

My book club group has been meeting monthly at Bodega for the past 10 months. Consistently the staff goes above and beyond to accommodate us and make us feel welcome! Making reservations is seamless and the service is always amazing. Everyone is always so kind. The food is outstanding too and very reasonable. BOOK CLUB BABES LOVE BODEGA!!!!!!

Bro I love this place so much.. I try not to take all my dates here but I always act like it's my first time so they don't think I'm always here but I convince them to get the kale salad and pizza with the honey chili? I forgot what it was exactly, but yo, it is FIRE.. I may actually go this weekend. So if you see me, mind ya business. Oh wine selection is

Bodega Wine Bar on Broadway in Santa Monica is the most busy Wednesday nights when they do their wino Wednesday special where most bottles are $25. If you’re getting a bottle, I recommend the Reckless Love Cabernet Sauv/Syrah, $25/bottle with their Wino Wednesday special (usually sold there for $47/bottle), bold & jammy & strong raspberry notes. For food, went for sweet & savory combos that were easy to share. The top 3 dishes from the night included: 1. Scapegoat Pizza on GF Crust (goat cheese, brussels sprouts, mozzarella, olive oil & lemon) 2. Bacon Wrapped Dates stuffed with manchego 3. Maple Roasted Brussels They have both indoor and outdoor seating, and for parking there is some on the street, but it can be a bit hard to find. The staff is very friendly, although our wait time was misquoted for our group by over 45 minutes. If you’re going with a big group, make a reservation or expect to wait for a long time.

Bodega represents every single little vibe I forever seek in a local coffee-bar-by-morning, wine-bar-by-night. Great coffee, tasty pastries, and if so inclined, a perfect daytime work environment if a laptop is on you. Built-up sidewalk seating for when the weather beckons you outside; inside is a bit dark but spot on in the feels.

We tried the place in a weekend night. We started with several sangrias and then we got couple of beers and wine bottles. As it was expected the wine bottle cost 5 times the real price. We also tried the flat bread different salads and pizzas. The place is spacious and cuisy, I would recommend the place
