Villa Wine Bar and Kitchen

Villa Wine Bar and Kitchen is a cozy downtown wine bar on Anacapa Street, pouring a wide selection by the glass with paninis, bruschetta, and cheese boards on the side. The room is small and conversational, a favorite for date nights, small groups, and hosted tastings. Live music usually appears on Thursday evenings, and special events have included Argentine nights pairing Malbec and empanadas with live flamenco guitar. The audience comes to relax and talk, so the music works best as a warm acoustic backdrop. Guitarists, jazz duos, and world music performers fit the room especially well.
