What a wonderful shop! Due to COVID restrictions on operations & capacity, they no longer serve all their wines by the glass, just a selection of about a half dozen. You can have a glass, or a flight. The staff member who helped us was very knowledgeable about every wine we asked about, very gracious, and gave us tips on other things to do both here in Pismo & for the rest of our trip to the Santa Maria valley. I highly recommend this store & will definitely come again whenever we visit Pismo Beach!

Bring your own picnic and enjoy wine by the glass, or Dark Star snacks if it is your lucky day. Dark Star is pet and family friendly.

My wife and I were visiting Paso Robles and its unique wineries. The hotel staff mentioned to us that they had heard good things about Dark Star Cellars. They encouraged us to check it out. I am glad they did. We were most impressed with the winery and the quality of the wines. The winery consist of three red main buildings. The wine tasting room was open and had a positive, relaxed atmosphere. The tasting room had a closed bee hive on the inside, a black kitty and even some food. They also had a covered outdoor picnic area. Mike greeted us and started serving us some wine samples. He told us about the winery and each of the varieties of wines they make. In between samples, we cleared our palate with crackers and/or chocolate chips. It was all Fun! Dark Star makes a great variety of different wines from Rhone wines, Bordeaux wines and California red wines. Each is distinctive and tasty. We liked almost all of their wines. After we had finished our sampling, Dave took a small group of us for a winery tour of their facilities. It was wonderful. My wife even got to taste a sample of red wine that was almost ready for bottling. It was a small and intimate tour which we loved. Afterward, we bought a bottle of their red wine and brought it home to drink at a later date. We truly enjoyed visiting the Dark Star Cellars winery. It was a great visit of a winery who is committed to quality and good taste in wine. We encourage everyone to check them out.

We visited Gary Kramer Guitar Cellars in September for a private engagement and were blown away by how cool the tasting room is and that Gary Kramer was there too. Mr. Kramer was very humble and down to earth. I wish I could listen to more of his stories about the guitars and the artists. The wines were great, the staff was fantastic and the atmosphere is amazing. If you like music and wine, go to Gary Kramer Guitar Cellars. Mr. Kramer gave me a tour of the back concert area which I can only imagine will have some amazing musicians at very soon. Unfortunately for us, the intimate venue was not finished and the stage looks as though it had just finished being built. We will definitely go back and hopefully to watch some live music too.

Enjoy an upscale cocktail experience where you can find golden age cocktails with a modern twist.
Reviewed By 677halj - San Francisco, United States
This is a must-try spot for drinks. The staff were knowledgeable and friendly, the bar is well stocked, and the atmosphere itself is worth the price of a drink. So the artisanal ingredients and quality booze are just icing on the cake. They do a very nice job of the Prohibition-era speakeasy vibe. Be prepared to stand in line on a busy night: it's not a big place. Consider going mid-week.
