Wine Steals

I can understand with their crappy service why it closed!

So sad this place is closed. It was a regular Wednesday stop for my friends and I. Incredible tastings, my favorite being champagne and chocolate. You could also buy their wines by the bottle and pay a small corkage fee. Pizzas were also delicious. Every time we got the bill after devouring lots of food and drinks we would be shocked at how cheap it was. Sad to see it close.

The only thing pleasant at this place was Lisel. The bartender was attentive. There was an older man present who I believe was the manager, who totally killed any vibe this place may have had.

I’m a total wino. Looked up wine bars on Unilocal and was recommended by the hotel staff to come here.
–Greeted with a smile
–Recommended a great wine for relaxing to over lunch
–Ordered the artisan cheese board (tastes wonderful)
–Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating choices
–Nice atmosphere
–Clean bathrooms
–Ambient music playing, not too loud to ruin the relaxing with the wine and cheese board
–Located right next to the Loma Club on the golf course

I hope the owners will consider hiring friendlier staff. I will not be back due to how uncomfortable the servers made our party feel. All of us have experience in customer service so we are always respectful when we go out to eat, however we did not receive respect in return. I can’t believe the rude and angry attitude we received from more than one staff member! If we had wanted that kind of treatment, we would have gone to Dick’s Last Resort.

My friends and I enjoy coming to this place because it’s a wonderful place to relax, enjoy great wine, and taste good food. The atmosphere is really relaxed from the outdoor to indoor seating. My friends and I prefer to hangout on the couches or sit outside and enjoy the sun. It’s great either way! Clayton is one of my favorite servers/​bartenders. He’s really knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. I believe he is the manager and it’s well deserved. He helps you pick out great wine and food based on your taste.
Notes:
1. Cheap and fun wine tastings. Check their monthly calendar for details.
2. Their happy hour is amazing. You never know what pizza slices are offered but they always are amazing. One thing is definite: One has meat and the other is vegetarian.
Oven Baked Wings: Delicious! They used to have two different flavors which I both loved, but now they only have the «red» ones and not the «green ones. Still tasty «hot» wings though because they are nice and juicy. They are perfectly cooked and the garlic ranch is really tasty!
Artisan Deluxe Cheese Board: Who doesn’t love having wine, cheese, meats, and crackers? It’s the perfect snack while hanging out and sipping your wine. The variety changes based on what they have but the selection has always been nice and there is something there that everyone can enjoy. I’ve always loved trying the new cheeses and meats that I would never have bought on my own.
Sausage: I forgot the name of this, but this was really tasty. Crispy bread with melted cheese, fresh sliced red onion, sliced red and yellow bell pepper, and a nice tasty, juicy, and savory sausage. If they are still serving this, I would love to eat it again.
Overall, I love this place. It’s a great place to taste and enjoy good wine. The food is delicious. I’ve been here multiple times with friends and it is always amazing! I’ll definitely be back again!

I recently moved to PB and found Wine Steals in Point Loma. It was my first visit to Wine Steals but I had heard good things about it. Being an East Coaster, I’ve discovered good means something slightly different in San Diego
Upon entering Wine Steals, I stood overlooking the bar area. What are with these people they hire in the service business… San Diego has some of the worst restaurant service I’ve experienced and Wine Steals is a perfect example. Bald headed, tattooed and unfriendly pretty much sums up the service.
The wine seemed fairly priced and I did like the Cabernet I ordered… I’ll never go back

This wines steels is awesome… good grub, great price on drinks, and the outdoor patio is great for a group seating and not too loud. The lighting and heat lamps give it an European ambiance… love their pizza and the staff is great!

Woohoo I found my wine bar by my house! So first of all, this place is NOT by the rock church. I guess they’ve been having problems with google maps. This place is across from Cadillac diner by the golf course.
I also think Unilocal should reclassify this business. It’s not only a liquor store, but it’s also a wine bar. They sell wines by the glass and food as well.
For all those complaining about the lack of a party atmosphere, it’s a WINE BAR. This isn’t meant to be a happening hot spot. This is a place you go to for enjoying wine and maybe good conversation. If you’re looking for a party, go to a club.
The employees here are super helpful. I had no idea what to include in my flight, but the bartender created one based on my tastebuds. The beauty of a small place like this is that you can socialize with anyone at the bar. We are all friendly folk sitting back enjoying the wave on our tastebuds.
I did not have a chance to try any of the food, but am going back tonight! I’m even thinking of trying their wine club! Every few months they get together for special events regarding the wines getting picked this quarter. How fun!
In an area full of beer, it’s nice to come back to the classics. I can’t wait to spend many days here with my dog by my side (yup totally dog friendly!)

I love Wine Steals!
I’ve enjoyed a romantic evening over a single glass of wine, I’ve attended birthday celebrations here, and most recently, I’ve hosted a group of 14 woman for a networking event. All wonderful experiences!
The staff is always so on it! They welcome any size group, and offer only the best of service!
They have the best flatbreads and tasty salads! My favorite pairing is from their local Fallbrook vineyard alongside the Caprese salad and their gluten free margarita pizza!

Its a nice little wine bar. That has a WIDE variety of wine. They have some fancy seating indoor that kind of resembles your home living room. The outdoor seating is like being in your back yard with a little golf course to watch. Being in Point Loma you know you will be in the flight path as well.
Pizza is better than your normal pizza place.

Came here with a group of girls and sat around on their patio with a bottle of wine and 8 slices of their chicken BBQ pizza. We had a great time because we were with great friends and between the four of us, we spent $ 40! Pretty decent! The pizza wasn’t anything note worthy, but still yummy.
They had two types of pizza for their happy hour– vegetarian and BBQ chicken. They’re $ 2 a slice and about $ 18 a pizza. They have glasses of wine for $ 5 or you can buy a bottle ($ 10 – 40) bottles of wine, but you have to pay a corkage fee of $ 6. We figured it would be cheaper to buy a bottle!
Very limited parking, limited lighting outside (and inside) and very limited service. We got one glass of water and they didn’t bring us anymore. :(I would come back based on how cheap it was.

Parking: Sucks. There’s a small lot right next to Wine Steals and it isn’t very big. Got there at 6PM on a Friday and there was nothing. You can’t park on the street right out front, so you have to drive down a ways and walk there. Not too bad.
Wine Selection: Meh. There wasn’t much of a selection, and the wine were nothing to be excited about. I didn’t have one I liked
Atmosphere: This is what I loved most about this place. We sat outside right by the golf course. They had quite a bit of table out, perfect for groups, or first date. The scenery is beautiful! Casual and relaxing vibe– loved it!
Service: Service was great! Staff was very friendly and accommodating, however, not very knowledgeable about the wines or the cheeses. When it comes to wine and «Artisan Cheeses».
Food: Eh. Not good. We ordered the meat & cheese board. Probably the worst meat & cheese board I’ve ever had. Had a few bites, and decided we didn’t even want to attempt to eat the rest.
Over all, we had 2 glassed of wine each, a

Love this place :) yummy appetizers, great selection of wine and most importantly the vibe is just right! I am pleased with both locations-​hillcrest and point loma! I wish I could hang out here more often and after last nights service we will def make the effort to do so! I was surprised the large variety of beers they have here which is great for my boyfriend who loves to try different beers. Also they’re very generous on the sangria! Yummy

Great pizzas, awesome happy hour & great wine selection!
Grab a glass, or bottle, order some starters and/​or pizzas, kick your feet up at a table outside and enjoy!
Or pull yourself up to a barrel table inside and get cozy with a glass of whatever tickles your fancy.
You cannot go wrong with what you order, drink or food, at Wine Steals.
The pizzas are our favorite! The Veggie is my favorite — thin crust pizza piled with fresh veggies (spinach, artichoke, bell peppers, mushrooms, red onion, olives) and the freshest mozzarella. Go for the full pizza ($ 21) and take home the leftovers, it’s still just as tasty the next day! My husband is the best salesman when it comes to his favorite pizza ever, the Chardonnay. He can describe every bite and every layer of this pizza (thin apples layer followed by crumbled bacon, red onion, a thin layer of smoked gouda and finally mozzarella) in a way that you swear you can taste the pizza as he describes it.
On a recent visit I decided to try the Queso Blanco ($ 5) and cleaned the plate! The queso was white and creamy and the jalapeño pieces mixed in were delightful!
The only bummer about this place is that you must be 21 to be on the premises. Yes, on the premises. That means no babies or anyone under 21 can enter or sit on the patio. With a new little one it sure would be nice to be able to put him in a stroller and enjoy the pizza on the patio, but no such luck at this location*.
*The Solana Beach location allows minors on the patio, but not inside.

I stumbled upon this cool little wine shop on my visit to SD. I’m so glad I found it!
It’s a part wine shop and part wine bar/​restaurant. They have tastings, full kitchen, and on some nights, they host trivia games.
Sundays they have free corkage after 6pm. You can buy a bottle of wine at the shop and open it with friends at the store. They have a kitchen to pair with your wine as well. We got the half place of the cheese, meats, and fruits plate. For ~$ 20, it was totally worth it! We also shared an order of pizza as well.
The atmosphere here is pretty laid back. Good place for a girls’ night out or to hang out with friends. They also have beer on tap as well!

Nice hip vibe great wines. It was a great pre-​concert stop about 5 minutes, 10 with traffic, from the concert venue. We actually stop backed after the concert for a drink with friends. Bottles of wine are very reasonable — we bought one to take with us for about $ 20 bucks.
Wine Steals also has Cardiff and Hill Crest locations. The Cardiff location (used to be the taco auctioneer on Vulcan for locals) Anyway, service was friendly and helpful directing us to wines the thought we would enjoy based on our preferences.
Liberty Station is one of my favorite places to go when I’m close to Pt. Loma/​SD Airport and I’m glad we discovered Wine Steals — We will go back. Highly recommend.

I come here more often than I think… why this is my first review, I have no idea. So here’s the scoop… find a wine that you like, buy a bottle and enjoy! They do wine tastings at the bar on most of the wines they have available in retail. This is the place I discovered one of my fave wines… it’s an Old Vine Zin… Klinker Brick… unfortunately, they didn’t carry it the last few times I’ve been in. Sad day. Ask the bartenders for some recommendations if you aren’t sure what you might like.
The food is good. Pizza… yum. Cheese platters… fantastic with wine! I’m always a fan of the wine here… you will always be able to find something in stock you will enjoy.
The service is good. Parking can be a challenge. There is a small lot next to the building, but it is almost always full. I try to park on the street or else you have to park near the diner across the way. They have a patio and a back room for private parties that you can reserve or if you are lucky just show up and take over a section. Lot’s of different types of seating available… I like the barrels or sitting at the bar, but when we have a big group… the back room with the couches is perfect for hanging out with friends and drinking wine.
Drink. Eat. Have fun… Wine steals is the place!

We stumbled in here on accident trying to find the Stone brewery. There was a sign outside advertising sangria and it sounded really refreshing and we needed directions, so we popped inside. The bartender was really nice, we had lovely conversations, and she was really helpful. She made us a red wine sangria and a white, which i had never had. White is definitely the way to go – it was delicious.
I had read reviews about Stones food being expensive so I decided to order a hummus plate here instead. It was phenomenal. Their warm pita was perfectly paired with their hummus and sour dough bread. The best part, it was only $ 4, compared to Stones which was $ 10.
The décor is super inviting and if we had time I would have loved to stay for late night because it seemed like a really fun place.
Next time we are in San Diego, we will definitely go back and I recommend everyone check them out.

Did a happy hour and a dinner here before. I like the spot and it is lively even on a week night which is nice.
Service: Spotty. I have had great service and crap service here from the exact same waitstaff. I am not going to take a star off because when I got bad service it was corrected quickly once we raised attention to it.
Went here because of a Groupon or some deal that had a cheese plate. The cheese plate isnt that great in my view. It lacks anything interesting. I felt the plate was pretty big though.
The pizza is pretty good and the price per slice is good. I like that you can get pizza by the slice and try different types if you want.
Happy hour here is pretty good and I would say well worth it.
They have a Satruday night deal that gives two diners a deal on wine and food for pretty cheap! I should have taken a picture of the deal and will try to get this updated later.
Great selection of wine which one would expect.
In all this place is pretty nice and a good addition to the area. I would go again!
