Bodega Wine Bar

Fans of Chardonnay and Merlot alike will flock to this Santa Monica bar, where vino is the star no matter your grape preference. Choose from a hefty list of light, medium and full-bodied reds and whites to clink glasses on a casual first date, or order pizza and apps along with your wine for a longer night out. As for happy hour—they've got that, too. Stop by on a Monday, when prices are slashed all day (and night) long.
