This cozy wine bar offers a curated selection of Euro-centric wines and delicious bites in a charming setting, perfect for both date nights and group outings.
"Co-founded by Eric Railsback and Master Sommelier Brian McClintic (if the name sounds familiar it’s because his journey to masterdom was documented in the film, SOMM), this Funk Zone wine bar/shop is a must. The cool, wood-trimmed space is split into two: Hardcore oenophiles will go nuts for the hand-picked selection of European and domestic wines on the retail side, while those looking to expand their knowledge will benefit from a wine flight at the tasting bar. A tight offering of small plates is available throughout the week; Fridays and Saturdays, weirdly enough, are reserved for ramen. "
"Busy wine bar Les Marchands will close in Santa Barbara soon. The six-year-old spot owned by Acme Hospitality (The Lark, Lucky Penny, Loquita) is set to turn over into an unnamed new project sometime later this year." - Farley Elliott
