This spot is a lot more informal and hipster than I thought. I wanted a cozy pub-type place with a comfy chair or couch where I could drink a beer and read a book and this fits the bill. I know it’s a wine bar but as I’m not really a wine drinker I can’t comment on the selections but I’m sure they’re fine. Plus they play records on a mostly vintage hi-fi the whole time.
If you like wine, go here. They also have cheese and charcuterie plates and olives etc.
Groovy places like this are pretty rare on this otherwise fairly bleak part of San Pablo Ave. A welcome addition. Cheers!

What a COOL place!

Starting with the indoor design of this place, very spacious and comfortable with retro views!

They offer different wine selections and some on sides plates to share.
They do wine flight of three wine, in case you’re looking for “a tasting” that’s the closest.

We went right after the place opened on a Sunday afternoon and right away after us were four more tables of group of friends!

Definitely try this place and support community in this area!

EDIT: Banter just keeps getting better and continues to impress. The oysters and shrimp cocktails specials on select days are a great bargain, fresh, and tasty.

ORIGINAL: What a welcome addition to El Cerrito! Friendly staff, lots of different styles of seating (communal, couch, stool, bar), and a heavy focus on natural (sometimes natty) wine.

Food rating based on the latest pop up, keep in mind it is wine bar food format, so small, generally uncooked plates rather than full on dishes.

Eclectic wine list, expect skin contact and bottle caps. We do find the majority of the wine offerings are very subtle and light bodied.

Parking can be a bit tough, don’t park in the lot next door! Or take BART!

Now open on Tuesdays.

Came in just for the pinball machine which is in fantastic condition. The actual winery is very cute and retro with a wall of VHS playing on a crv TV and a stack of vinyls playing on their record player. Ended up talking to a woman working(co-owner I think) and she was very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend to anyone in the area.

So glad to have a lovely wine bar in our neighborhood! The staff are great and I love the atmosphere and aesthetic. The wines are always amazing and there is something for everyone including beer, ciders and nonalcoholic beverages. Really enjoy my outings here.

️ What a great addition to El Cerrito! A chill neighborhood wine bar with good music, retro vibes (record player, VHS…)

A nice rotating selection of wines by-the-glass + more bottles available for purchase to go / to drink onsite (corkage applies).

Meat and cheese plates currently available, in addition to anchovies w/bread, and bread&butter.

Tip: Look out for the “Special Open Bottles” options on their menu. Thus far, it’s been a no-brainer for the best By-The-Glass options.

Came here on a Thursday night to enjoy a paella pop-up and it did not disappoint. Very good and innovative selections of wines along with a fun atmosphere. Especially appreciated the displays of vinyl and old videotapes. An excellent addition to the East Bay wine scene.

Super chill place that’s cozy and serves amazing nibbles and wine without being pretentious or exclusive. Can’t speak to mingling possibilities (whether you’ll go home with someone new) but it is a hangout stand-out, with stellar service. My new fav place north of Gourmet Ghetto

I came here for a birthday party. It was a very unique and trendy atmosphere with comfortable seating for the whole group.

They had a great selection of wine to choose from and food options both of their own as well as a stand set up outside.

Overall I had a great time hanging out and checking out this spot.
