Santa Monica's old Sugar is Bodega Wine Bar

It wasn't really "settling," as the small warehouse-y space was cozy but cool, the people were beautiful, and the bass was deep.

But I've grown up now, and clubbing isn't something I do all that often. Luckily, the space where Sugar used to be has grown up, too. It is now the second location of Bodega Wine Bar, a chic, sleek little wine bar whose older sister in Pasadena has a loyal following. They serve wine (obviously), as well as beer, sake, soju, and a bit of food so you can pace yourself.

Bodega Wine Bar's westside location is at 814 Broadway, Santa Monica, CA 90401 (310) 394-3504.
