Adrian PhillipsDecember 23, 2014Extremely helpful staff will help you narrow down what kind of wine you want. Don't be intimated just tell them what you like and taste wine until you find what's right for you. Great place.
Brian DavisSeptember 15, 2013Best wine bar in LA. The owners are Jedi Masters of wine. Come in and learn the ways of wine knowledge. "They cannot affect your palate's past, but they can affect your palate's future."Upvoted 4 weeks ago
Edgar SarmientoAugust 2, 2015Side Bar was an great venue for my friend's engagement party, healthy pours of some great wines and a beer tap right on the wall.

Jennifer CarterMarch 26, 2016Love love love this wine bar! Don't be frightened to ask the staff for their opinions about which wine you should have - they know their stuff!
Daniel MarkhamDecember 15, 2012Ask the bartenders. They know. Really. Give them a flavor profile — thinking it was a cocktail bar, the first time we came, the bartender asked us what we would have ordered. Spot on.- Peter RauhSeptember 20, 2016Very nice wine bar - great vibe, totally befitting the neighborhood but kinda lively, loud if you want to have a quiet conversation...
- Abi PanickerSeptember 19, 2016They choose for you based on preferences, nice twist, but maybe not for those who know what they want, nice ambiance, cozy place
I loooove this wine bar. It’s usually filled with couples on their first date so there’s also some entertainment too.
Xio PachecoFebruary 4, 2020I love this place, it's amazing how you can trust in the bartender and he will definitely have the right choice!
Take advantage of the opportunity to pick your wine/beer and give the bartender an idea of what you'd like to drink! Red-white-hef-stout?
jennifer hanJuly 30, 2011great bar. friendly bartenders and easy-going crowd, even when it gets packed. i love their terra sparkling malbec.
Emily WilsonSeptember 18, 2017Castelvetrano olives are always good but for some reason they are exceptional here. They come with marcona almonds. It's a necessary order.
TV Food MapsSeptember 14, 2014Check out Bar Covell as it was featured on Best Bars in America for Wine bar without a wine list... they serve you based on your mood and preference Read more
MetroSeeker.comDecember 13, 2012You gotta love a bar with an endlessly diverse beer menu! It's a great place to take someone who is just learning about beer.- Get the spicy mac and cheese and let the Covell staff lead you through the rest. They know wine.
Michael ShearinApril 6, 2012This is seriously one of the best places in LA to drink wine... And beer! Top notch knowledge, selection and very friendly service.
Kelly BoneDecember 4, 2012Wonderful place to meet random people. Also, if your planning a private event, I cannot recommend Sidebar enough!
Across the street from here in the early 20s Walt Disney shot live action film footage for his Alice Comedies based on a short film he made with Ub Iwerks in Kansas City called Alice’s Wonderland.
Whit MaullDecember 8, 2015Over 150 wines by the glass, but no list. Your bartender will guide you to exactly what you're looking for.
Jo ButlerJanuary 19, 2011Best beer and wine bar. It gets packed, so be prepared to wait for a seat. Always a good-looking crowd.
Nikki BMarch 1, 2011Their series of questions for narrowing down a wine of choice for the night is very impressive..... makes it very attentive to your interests.
Their flatbreads are respectable and the truffled cheese plate is great with wine.
Alex RobertsonJuly 13, 2022Nice wine bar. Guess it didn’t do much for me aesthetically and I’m not that into wine but it sure was flowin- RJ DuganAugust 12, 2014Great date spot! Successfully pulling off a great wine list and beer selection.
Just tell them what you like and you'll get an amazing glass. One of my new favorite in the 'hood.
Patrick DanielMarch 6, 2011Don't look for a list of wines. It's a personal experience that is led by talking with your wine steward....have an open mind and pallet
Represent North County San Diego and enjoy one of the micro brews if given the chance!
Allison SolomonMay 20, 2011Even if you don't know much about wine, the bartenders will set you up. Spicy mac and cheese.
I am in absolute heaven after the croque provencal and one beer.
Allison WhitwJanuary 6, 2014This place is so snooty that it makes it hard to enjoy the great ambiance and tasty food. If Bar Covall got some better bar staff, it would be my favorite place to go. Not going back soon.
Kendall MayhewFebruary 4, 2012Bill and I had one beer and one glass of wine... $22. Not sure how that happened. We will try it again; not on a Friday when it's packed.
Leave a tip you say? His name is Matthew Kaner and that is all you need to know...
Alex StockhamOctober 23, 2012Just tell one of the bartenders what sort of wine you're in the move for and they'll get you something great.
