Wine Lab Costa Mesa

Nice and cozy place .. bartendant is very nice / not impressed with the food .. they have happy hour ...

Awesome place!

Very cool atmosphere with friendly service every time we come here. Cool place. They serve the flights in test tubes. Unique experience. A nice place for a casual outing with friends. I like the inside as well. The area inside is small. I recommend coming during the week, however it is not bad on the weekends either. The center gets extremely crowded on the weekdays.

New and interesting experience to taste different wine set in lab tube. Also, food platters have easy-eating cheese, salami and very tasty pickle (for some reason, it tastes really good). Bottles are in reasonable prices. I picked 2 favorite bottles after tasting. Very worthy wine spot that you can come regularly.

I enjoyed the wines here. There is a lot of variety (wines from all over the world) and novelty as far as flight presentation (being in test tubes). I liked that they offered multiple sweet wines and they played movies on the wall near the bar.

Knowledgeable staff very friendly good wine.

This is such a cute spot! The entire shopping area is called The Camp and it's great for adults and kids. Wine Lab has a fun and unique way of serving the tastings and everything we tried was delicious! The service was also really good and attentive. Can't wait to go back!

Great place, good atmosphere, wish there were more food options

Good selection (including seemibgly a lot of California wines), good snacks, good take home prices for bottles.

The host was confused, but the sever and the food were excellent! Best meal I've had in CA. in years!

Interesting spot. Got the sampler and they give you the wine in test tubes. I really enjoyed the Davis Bynum Jane's Vineyard Pinot Noir 2013. The charcuterie was alrite, didn't like the cheeses very much and wished they gave us a little more jam and other stuff. I would recommend that they dim the lights a little and play better music, such as jazz, to set the mood. Was here on a Saturday night and it was way too bright inside the store and they were playing pop music.

Really cool place. Great wine selection and regular rotations of both wine and craft beers. Have discovered a number of our favorite beer and wines here that we otherwise would not have found. No food options for vegans, but the wine/beers, service and atmosphere are great.

Friendly and knowledgeable staff, and a great selection of wine

Great wine! Awesome service!

Small and intimate atmosphere. Good selection of wines and rotating menu with flights. I wanted to try some of the cheese boards and other kitchen menu items but we arrived late so we just had the wine. I would love to go back and try the boards! Will definitely return. The bartender was attentive and knowledgable.

Great place with awesome people! Great cheeses and fabulous wine.

Absolutely loved my experience at Wine Lab! Every single staff member was attentive and super knowledgeable about their wines! They also serve their wine in chemistry style beakers, which I thought was so cool! Check them out! You'll love it!

Just love that place, with the nicest owners and stuff...wines super, location great,just go there and enjoy :)

Good selection of beer! And wine.

I stumbled across this cool little place after eating at Native Foods, which is right across from the Wine Lab. I loved that they chose a unique display for their wine tastings by putting the wine in test tubes! It definitely adds to the lab aesthetic and vibe. There are multiple reds and whites to choose from their tap, as well as a few plates and appetizers from their kitchen. This is easy to get to and centrally located in The Camp shopping center although parking may be hard to come by at peak hours. There is bar and table seating inside or table seating and a lovely hammock outside for public use. BONUS: They have a great happy hour that even runs on the weekends! Everything is reasonably priced and the staff were very helpful. The only downside I'd note is that the wine sold in their wine shop area is a bit overpriced when compared to other grocery and liquor stores. I would definitely recommend this place to a friend and will definitely be back!

While it's got a cool vibe, it's got some significant misses. The wine list isn't THAT great, and the beer lineup is lacking compared to the bar at Taco Asylum. In addition, the bartenders really don't know how to pour a beer - spooning the foam off the top - makes you wonder...

Decent price for wine but the place is always extremely warm for some reason.

The wine lab is an integral part of The Camp with an asthetic twist on your average wine bar. A wide range of wines to accommodate any taste or wine style. Wine Lab also offers tapas & cheese boards & more to enrich your visit.Some truly wonderful wines & some at quite reasonable prices though little on the menu is inexpensive. Take my advice, buy a bottle not a glass. Much better value & don't take professional corkage N pouring. That's an extra15%!Service is engaging though not pre emptive while the atmosphere is comfortable but hardly intimate.My advice? Take your time, choose wisely & ask questions.

Great wine and casual atmosphere. Check out the interesting wine flights.

Good wine and great cheese. What more could you ask for?

Nice atmosphere

The best grilled cheese to go with all the best wines

Great wine flights and amazing charcuterie! Also great service. Easy to make reservations

One of my favorite about Wine Lab is how easy the store makes it for customers to discover their new favorite wines. The Thursday tastings are an opportunity to explore different winemakers and regions, a great way to acquaint yourself with the unfamiliar (or old classics) for an extremely reasonable $5.

Very cute wine bar, had a flight of the white and of the red. They serve the flight in test tubes and a glass to pour it in. Their flat bread was also good, but not great.

We arrived at about 7:30 on a Friday and it was crowded but they made sure to find seats for us. We sat at at the counter next to the window and ordered red flights and a cheese plate. It was all amazing! The prices are reasonable. Service was very good. The flights are so cute in the test tubes. Parking is tough so I recommend valet. Wine Lab will validate the valet for you and it's free. We will definitely be returning!

great place to hang out and get drinks. they have excellent wine selection.

Nice place to relax and meet friendly people. Drink great wines

Delicious cheese pairings, very knowledgeable wine steward. She gave me a great suggestion based on what I like.

Well this place is my absolute favorite. I order food from here every single time I come to CA and I crave it the entire time I'm away. $15 broccoli yes it's worth it and the rainbow salad I can't get over, fiery tofu wow; so many unbelievable options. And it's even great leftover and cold! Nice job guys, you seriously crush it. Thank you! Xoxo

Great little spot with plenty of wines and cheeses. They have a small outdoor patio that connects to the rest of the bar through a sliding glass door. If you want to take some home, there is a three-tiered membership available depending on the quantity and quality of bottles you want per month or you can just purchase by the bottle as normal retail. Most were good, some were interesting.

Nice little wine bar, happy hour a plus too!

Small places, not too many choices but loved the intimate feeling there

Really nice spot for trying wine. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable

It was so cute! Couldn't help but spend more then originally planned. Went with a friend and both did a white, a flight, and a dessert. I had a riesling and it was a little too sweet. In the flight the second red was the best for me it was light. And I can't remember what dessert wine she chose for us but it was great almost like a brandy. We also ordered the cheese and honey board (server recommended it) it was amazing. Me and my friend have different palettes but this cheese board had something for each of us. The music selection was great and they were playing fantastic mr. Fox it the background. It was just a great vibe in general

Great Knowledgeable service,and selection of wines
