Cool spot. No hard liquor but great wine selection. I have my favorite bartender but they are all really nice people and excellent bar company. The Taco Tuesday is defiantly worth a visit if not several visits. Happy hour is awesome. Excellent beer prices considering the location.
Wine pizza and environment hip loved it got there 5 pm before crowd

I've hosted Xmas parties, happy hours, and get togethers at Bodega wine bar for the last 4-5 years... Jamaica is great in helping coordinate events . The staff is always very accommodating and attentive. Happy hour drinks and small plates are delicious and cheap ! Ambience is great, relaxing and layout is great coz it allows your party to be seated where everyone can talk to one another and see each other . Definitely a great place to have your events , we've always had a great time holding our events here. Thanks Greg and Jamaica!! ��
Perfect for any occasion! Andrew Jackson Wednesday's are always fun, and the Carnivore pizza is a must!
Bodega Wine always has been a solid and enjoyable wine resource. Now they've added primo coffee in the daytime, it's even better. Enjoying the daytime experience of Bodega, with the warm sunlight across the street, and the consistent sidewalk traffic viewing show combined with delicious coffee drinks and baked goods makes for a pleasurable place to meet or just to chill.
Awesome great food, super friendly staff, loved it
Bodega Santa Monica is awesome.. great west side local for 10 years, and it just keeps getting better
Great wines and appetizers. Nice atmosphere and location. Recommend.
Went for some wine with my husband. A lot of people were there on blind and first dates. So it seems like an awesome date spot. Very spacious and good lighting. Great vibes. Good happy hour as well during the week.
This place is delicious! We got the avocado toast and chicken wrap. Everyone was working on their laptops so this would be a great place to get some work done and eat great food. Great atmosphere. Highly recommend.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
We didn’t like the wine we chose originally and they accommodated us and let us taste other drinks. This drink we tried we really loved it. I forgot the name but we will definitely come back here soon! It’s a chill place you can sit on the patio and enjoy the view or study inside on one side or just lounge and then they have a bar on the other side. It’s a very versatile place to me! It wasn’t super busy and the waiter was very attentive.
Loved it.
We had a glass of wine each and both decided we wanted to come back for dinner.
We found the ambiance to be ideal. The service was spot on and the wine selection was vast yet curated enough to help guide you to the best option.
Indoor and outdoor seating.
No reservation required
Love this place. The atmosphere is relaxing. The staff is kind and helpful. The food is tasty.. it's great for a date, a catch up with colleagues or a little work n snack.
The pizza is super tasty
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
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!!!!!!
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.

Coffee shop by day/wine bar at night. Great happy hour spot for a small group of friends or to go on a date, especially on Wednesday’s when there’s $25 bottles of wine. Happy hour menu is pretty good and included flatbreads and pizzas (lasts until 7pm on weekdays). The pepperoni pizza is straightforward and good but I would get the goat cheese and Brussels sprouts pizza (not on HH) for the best pizza. I polished one off on my own (I was hungry) but you could split a pizza with another person plus an appetizer and walk away feeling pretty full. The service is really prompt and efficient with clearing out plates and making sure they come by enough. They leave water jugs at the table so you can refill it yourself and you can easily spend a couple hours just hanging out. The lighting is dim and moody and the couches are comfy. It does get loud so you do need to lean in to hear each other but that can work to your advantage :) they card at the door and there’s no parking lot, but there’s limited street parking. They do take credit cards. Overall a cute happy hour spot that’s good for wine lovers.
During the day it's more of a coffee shop where everyone is on their laptop. The atmosphere is pretty nice. WiFi is reliable and fast, and there are charging outlets at the very back.
The Soyrizo Burrito was delicious, although it took a while to get ready. Matcha Latte and Flat White was pretty good, but their cold brew was too weak and didn't taste refreshing.
Their $25 wine Wednesday deal is incredible!
Great wine with a reasonable price, shareable dishes, healthy yummy salads!
I’ll definitely visit here again
I came here during the day when it is a coffee bar and restaurant. You walk in, order, pay, find a table or seat, and voila! The vibe is relaxed, hip, and nice. One can meet friends for just coffee, or one can be alone, bring your computer, chill and work . The staff are exceptionally kind and service oriented!
Happy Hour is great for snacks and drinks too. Limited options but still a good deal!
Insane, hidden gem in Santa Monica. Great vibe day and night with awesome food choices including LA's best pizza as claimed by many!
Great couple and group place. Outdoor dining patio and open airy inside.
Classy, bustling oasis in Santa Monica. Plenty of young people meeting & working. Great selection of drinks and open space. The service was incredible, Ted is the man!
