The Mullin Wine Bar

High end service, quality alcohol (if a bit on the pricey side, but to be expected for the location). Didn't order food, they only have snacks and small bites.

The Mullin Wine Bar sits right in the middle of the The Music Center. It is off to the west side and between the Mark Taper and the Dorothy Chandler. It is a lovely spot with the wide glass doors usually open. There is bar seating and some tables. There is also outside seating. They have more than just wine. They have a great wine and liquor list, but they also have food. You can stop there and get cookies and sandwiches to just take away or you can sit and order. They have great food. They make a mean burger and a lot of small plates. Call them as to opening time, it may change depending on whether a show is up at the Music Center. They have a happy hour and since they serve food, kids are allowed. The service is great. We love it.

The experience was very relaxed and the margarita pizza was delicious. We had a great time talking to Ben and Scott who tended bar. Great start before seeing a show.

I ordered a wine flight at this wine bar, and it was a journey of flavors and aromas. The quality of the wines in the flight was exceptional, showcasing a variety of regions and grape varietals. The service was attentive, with the staff sharing insights about each wine. The value for the experience and the generous wine pours made it a fantastic deal. I'll definitely be back for more flights!

Good for an expensive drink before the operes or theatre but not a destination Service is slow before a show Outdoor seating is nice

I had the impression that this place served hot and/or fresh foods. We got the roasted turkey sandwich, a bottle of water, and an OVD drink and the bill was $58 without tip. The person who took our order was polite, efficient, and she made a good cocktail, but dear lord, $58 for two sandwich and drinks?!? The sandwich was a basic deli meat on a roll. I wish the center had more restaurants with full menus. I suggest eating before you arrive at the center.

The menus have changed!! Last time I visited April 19, 2023. As I entered, I wasn't greeted, nor offered a menu. No one else was in the place. I saw a menu ordered a sparkling wine and sandwich which I found was prepackaged. 😑 So the food is not served freshly cooked & prepared as in years past. What happened?! Sadly this space is not really worth it. Wish it could be as good as it was in the past! Would be a great place before and after events at the Pavilion, Mark Taper & Ahmanson!

Service is horrible. I’m a local resident. I walked around the area and thought of getting a drink to enjoy the afternoon. The bartenders had the laziest attitude. I asked for a martini. He put it in a cup. I asked for a cocktail glass just to be told that they are closing in five minutes and that I have to take this to go cup and sit outside. I’m pretty sure this is against the Californian law not drinking in a designated area with license. Moreover, why would I even buy anything if I knew the bar is closing? Then another blonde lady walked in shortly after and got a glass to sit outside. The bartenders gave this lady all the attention while looking like they were trying to shoo me away. Then trying to ask for 20% tips. I would advise not to wine and dine here. I feel discriminated and disappointed when I wanted to support local businesses.

Horrendous bartender during the motown event. I ordered a beer. I had to repeat myself four times,I eventually removed my mask and said beer loudly. Eventually the lady next to him said beer really loudly seens she'd understood me the first time. He then says "it's because you have an accent your hard to understand". Im English I speak the language he's having difficulty with. Then to add more insult he says " say beer again for me, go on say beer for me" as if im a performing seal. He's beyond insulting and needs to learn people skills.

Ridiculously overpriced, food mediocre. Wine was ok.

I went here with my daughter before our show around 12:30 on 12/17/23. We got a $12 beer and an $18 mixed drink. I found out on the way home from my daughter when he saw she was paying cash, he charged her $37 for the $30 drinks. She had $40 in cash. He turned the screen towards himself and told her to put the money in the tip jar. My daughter is young and still a little naive so she got ripped off by this crook. I will never go here again.

BEWARE. SCAMMERS. Server charged us for a drink we never ordered or received. When I pointed it out, she doubled down. I had to insist we needed a refund. She went to issue a “refund” and charged us twice. Almost $200 for a few snacks because of her incompetence. Make sure to check your tab before you pay, it seems like they’re trying to pull a scam on people they think won’t notice.

I went here with my father at 12:30pm on 12/17/23 before our show. He had a $12 beer and I had a $18 mixed drink. I went to pay with $40 cash for a $30 tab and when the worker (I don’t remember his name) saw I was paying cash, he pulled the screen toward him said my total was $37 and told me to put all of the cash into the tip jar he then said okay and walked away without giving me my change that I should have gotten. I am still a bit naive and didn’t realize what was going on until I talked to my father about it after we left. I am never coming here again and I don’t recommend it.

I ordered a pizza that was $30 around 6:40 pm before a 7:30 pm show. I was running late and thought that this would be the best option for a quick bite. My food never came out and by 7:15 pm the bartenders were giving away food that hadn’t been claimed (probably because they had waited too long and cut their losses). I took a burrito they were offering and had 5 minutes to eat before going into the show. The bartender said that she had just put my order in, even though I had ordered 30 minutes ago on the kiosk. Overall, if you’re in a hurry before a show, don’t come here. It seems they are way too understaffed to be cranking out food before a show that doesn’t allow late arrivals and quick service is crucial. The burrito was pretty yummy though I will say!
