Our Story

Justine’s is a neighborhood wine bar in Frogtown, Los Angeles, built around the things we love most: good food, good wine, and a room full of people we want to spend time with.

We opened Justine’s with the idea that a wine bar could feel special without feeling precious. A place where you can stop in for a glass and a snack, stay for dinner, order another bottle, and realize a few hours have passed.

Our menu takes inspiration from the food we love to eat thoughtful, comforting, seasonal, and meant to be shared. Our wine list leans toward small producers, natural and low-intervention bottles, and wines with a sense of place and personality.

More than anything, Justine’s is about hospitality. We believe restaurants should feel alive: music playing, candles burning, friends running into each other, strangers becoming regulars, and the table getting a little more crowded as the night goes on.

We’re proud to call Elysian Valley home and to be part of a neighborhood that still feels creative, independent, and deeply local.

Come for a glass. Stay for dinner. Bring your friends.

We’ll save you a seat.
