Bar Bandini

Great place for drinks and meeting friends. Thursday's are really dope as there is a Happy Hour if you are truly thirsty. Excellent drink prices for your wallet then spinning until late. There's dancing on a smooth dance floor and the music is cool. It's a little dark on the inside, but the lighting is fine...especially if you are meeting someone for a blind date!

Loved the vibe of this place. I came to Bar Bandini for a comedy show + wine and the service and selection was great. Our server was knowledgeable and helped me pick a wine based on my preferences. We wish they had more snack options, but we tried the truffle potato chips that were tasty. The inside was sophisticated and cool, while the outside patio where they held the show was lively. Overall, a great experience!

I recently visited this wine bar, and the experience exceeded my expectations. The service was impeccable; the knowledgeable staff recommended the perfect wine to pair with our charcuterie board. The quality of the wine and food was outstanding, and the prices were quite reasonable. It's a great value for a fantastic evening out.

I stopped by Bar Bandini for a quick bite and was blown away by the quality of their wine and charcuterie platter. The wine selection was diverse and of excellent quality, and the charcuterie was both delicious and beautifully presented. What makes this place stand out is the exceptional value for the portion sizes and the top-notch ingredients. It's a perfect spot for a relaxed and delightful evening.

Great wine selections. Wonderful shade in the back. For some reason there weren’t really tables in the back for setting down your drink but we moved a stump to act as one. Pretty popular place and they let our pup be there until 7! A little pricey but what do you expect? $1 off their affordable (but still delicious) wine and modelo at happy hour

Fun and welcoming atmosphere inside. Music and conversation levels were perfect. Outside area was nice as well. Only complain is the wines by the glass were fairly common and not spectacular. Expected something a little elevated from a wine bar.

The interior decor is modern and significantly dim lit bar; need some light adjustment. The bar is quite spacious; music could be improved. Decent amount of beer and wine selection. Prices are $$ okay. The bartenders were competent albeit lacks service.

came here for a date night, the place was extremely beautiful and ambient. loved the inside mood lighting and the outdoor patio was a great option for some fresh air. unfortunately the older bartender wasn’t so friendly - i would like to give him the benefit of the doubt and hope he just had a bad day or something but as someone who also works in the food service industry, the way you talk to your customers is really important. i didn’t appreciate the way he treated us and spoke to us like we were a bother to him. we ended up leaving shortly after because the environment just didn’t feel welcoming. it’s a shame cause the place is actually super cute.

I visited Bandini for a date night, and it was my fourth time there. EVERY visit, the bartender’s rude attitude and dismissive looks have ruined the mood. The staff seemed annoyed by every question, making us feel totally unwelcome. It was supposed to be a special evening, but we left early feeling let down again. I'm DONE with these people. DO not ruin your night. Find something else.

ABLEIST AND UNLAWFUL. Bar Bandini does not give a damn about people with disabilities. My girlfriend has a legally registered service dog for a nonvisible disability. Despite the sign in the window alleging that service dogs are welcome, the bouncer refused to let us in. He blamed people who lie about disabilities for ruining it for individuals like my girlfriend and suggested we contact the manager. In case you’re unfamiliar with the ADA, this is literally against the law. You guys should be ashamed and will never receive business from me again. Beyond disgusted.

They kicked my pregnant friend out because she was feeling sick and needed to lay horizontal on the bench. I understand people aren’t allowed to be passing out drunk in the bar, but I have trouble seeing how being pregnant and still wanting to attend your friend’s birthday is a problem, but apparently being pregnant and lying down are a threat to the business. So OK.

The bouncer is unprofessional. The bar does not serve any warm drinks or not a lot of nonalcoholic options for the designated driver. Went on a Sunday night to listen to our friend's band play. I dressed summery but didn't expect to get cold especially on a early night of July. I went to the bar after i drank my first non alcoholic drink to order something warm. Well it turned out that they didn't serve any warm drinks so I thought I'm not going to comlain to my friends that I'm cold so instead I went to the Starbucks down the street so I can order a hot drink and bring it back. When I arrived back the bartender which was not there when I first arrived showed up and aggressively said "you can't take that drink inside". Well number one there was no sign any where and number two where was he when i exited the bar 10 mins ago? Fine. I am not going to argue and I am not going to want to feel uncomfortable by being cold so I told him can i get my friends so we can leave. He said no. He literally told me to leave the drink outside to go get my friends. (Like I'm stupid to leave my drink unattended) then i asked if he can go get them. he said no. Bottom line the bouncer was very unprofessional and rude. It's very sad because I had not been out for a very long time and I actually felt happy to be at a place where I normally dont go. Since i dont drink I dont like bars but this place was different.

Bartender was very rude and aggressive as soon as I entered with my service animal. He tried everything in his power to stop me from bringing my service animal into the bar. We weren’t even going to be in the bar, but rather in the back courtyard for a pizza pop up. He was insensitive to someone with a disability. After telling him what the service my animal provides, he said we don’t allow emotional support animals. We then showed him the service animal card, which he finally said ok. Drinks were whatever.

Unbelievably horrible. We go for my sister's wedding after party (yes sisters after party to HER WEDDING) and when we enter the bartender asks for my ID and for a moment I thought I forgot my wallet and so he had a right to say "sorry can't let you in without an ID" and I said "its my sister's after party to her wedding and im 41" and he then asked me to leave. I did find my wallet at that point and showed him my ID but at that point it was too late and he made us his mind. I pleaded with him to not ruin my sister's after party but he refused service...I told him im a 41 year old professional and I simply couldn't find my ID for a moment and I got momentarily upset but he said sorry you can't come. I then asked for the manager and he told me he's the manager....moments later I find out he's not the manager and he just said that to kick me out. Completely unprofessional and pretty ridiculous for the area...I felt like I was in some lowbrow dtla dive bar the way he treated me.

Came here on a Sunday afternoon and it was dead. They don't serve food here and the bartender, an older guy, was in a bad mood. I got bad vibes from him so I left. Bar Flores up the street was way more fun and packed and they had tacos.

Have come here multiple times and the older bartender is getting grumpier every time. Clearly doesn’t want anyone to be there or ever return. Service is an absolute joke.
