John DeckerMay 2, 2015I finally got to visit The Wellesbourne last night. It exceeded my expectations and is now my new L.A. fave! Try the Cucumber Mint Martini and the Blackberry Gimlet with a flaming orange garnish. Wow!
- Brian TanklageFebruary 22, 2020Great drinks, good looking crowd, easy-going & classy vibe. Unlike most bars where the ownership feels that blasting loud (and mostly bad) music is a good idea; this bar has good music
Edlin ChoiSeptember 27, 2012Keep it classy. Old mahogany feel with large leather chairs and great mixologists. Sit by the fire and ponder life w your friends as you sip down an Old Fashioned. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
ndulynJanuary 5, 2013Come early to snag prime seating by the fireplace. Great group hang out in an antique style library setting. No table service: All food/drinks must be ordered at the bar.
RkqpDecember 7, 2012Live music is great - current samples and a great DJ in the off time. Awesome RnB tunes! Way too loud for a date, though. Drinks are so so and they so offer $4 valet parking.
John CohenApril 14, 2013This place was fun great atmosphere for the younger crowd. Drinks were well poured and the music was House. Great Experience I would recommend this place for 30 and under.
KevinOctober 14, 2012The first 2 parking spots outside turn into passenger loading zones after 7pm. Takes a bit to see it on the meter's scrolling message, but it is legit if they tell you you can't park in the first 2.- Matt (@VeganCheesehead) CrotteauFebruary 28, 2016Fun vibe. Library theme is cool, fireplace is nice, and drinks are potent!! 🍹🍺🍻. Wear something nice though.
Parking's easy (mall/street/cheap valet). Drinks are fairly priced, but if you're adventurous, let the waiter create a drink for you. It's worth the wait!
Christopher LaedleinSeptember 28, 2013This place is awesome, let the mixologists work their magic and get creative, I recommend the manhattan. Avoid the $11 delirium, it's good but it's no Unibroue
Kaz K.June 15, 2015Always have fun here; service is great and crowd is diverse. More down to earth than your stereotypical Westside bar.
Karon WFebruary 6, 2013This is the Westside less expensive equivalent of the Edison (minus the speakeasy part). Really great vibe and anywhere that has Strongbow on tap gets an A+ from me!
One of my favorite bars on the west side. All the bar tenders are knowledgeable and the drinks are made to perfection.
Bo LiebmanJune 15, 2017Great decor and good drinks. Can sometimes take a while to get your drinks though. Bartenders are professional but overbooked.
Jeff StephensFebruary 13, 2019Classic cocktails are solid, and the “bartender’s choice” is fantastic in happy hour.
Justin McCammonMarch 25, 2015Great library themed bar to stop off for a drink if you're waiting for a table nearby.- AshleyAugust 25, 2012Service is SLOW, so you might want to be finishing yours while you wait at the bar for a refill, but they make a first-rate vodka gimlet. Park at Westside Pavilions garage across the street for free.
Best Vesper Martini I've had so far. Good cocktail and beer menu
Jivanto van HemertJanuary 11, 2014Phenomenal! Everything from the drinks to the atmosphere to the bar tenders are great here!
Mishka knows how to make a pretty awesome old fashioned. Just be sure to order it trash out with a little bit less sugar.- Joseph CAugust 20, 2014Cool bar to hang. Different areas to have a drink with friends. #@ the bar #Fireplace #Pico
- order the "norito," drink. A hidden Wellesbourne drink- Its fairly cheap and taste like yummy applepie w/a dash of cinnamon!
Christina O'RourkeApril 16, 2011You'll feel like you're at some secret society's house party. Skip the Valet, you can usually find parking on Pico - even on weekend nights.
Amanda SzalasnyAugust 8, 2014Slow service but only because they're perfectionists. They'll reserve tables for your bday celebration for free! Try the Grasshopper.- Mercedes McLemoreJanuary 11, 2012Best vodka gimlets, cool atmosphere, but I'd come on a weekday. This place gets too damn crowded!
David HeiserDecember 26, 2018Good cocktails, but way too loud for a place that seems like it should be a chill lounge vibe.
Shil PaNovember 20, 2014Foooooosball. Awesome dig. Feel like I'm in a cozy pocket of Bruce Wayne's mansion
- Ask Steve to make you a Steve Cider. It's like a mojito with gin.
