Fantastic wine store and bar. The staff is always friendly and knowledgeable. We always have a great time at their free Saturday tastings. Love pairing something from their wine list with their tinned seafood selection.

I just popped in to buy a bottle of wine, but the service was amazing. The selection was great. The atmosphere was cozy. & the bottle I bought was sooo good.

These guys are so cool! Not only do they let dogs in, I feel like the workers here legimately want to get to know you and find you a good bottle of wine. My group accidentally stayed a little past their closing time (sorry!) and they were so chill about it and even chatted us up for the last little bit.

I love LouElla’s. They are my go-to for discovering new exciting bottles. And the staff are very helpful in guiding you to something new that suits your taste. The free wine tastings are a staple, and I’d highly recommend going. The atmosphere is definitely slightly more upscale than a standard bar, but I quite enjoy that. My only quip is that the snacks are a bit pricey for the size you get. But I don’t really go there for the food, so I’m quite unfazed. The folks at LouElla have a put together a wonderful experience for wine lovers of any interest/ knowledge level, and a community has formed around that in a special way. Well done, and see y’all soon!

I stopped by to scope things out for my wife. Finally a wine store that's got more of a bar vibe than store vibe that also has some great choices by the glass. I had 2 tastings and enjoyed the gamay the most, though I certainly would knock down the white bordeaux for awhile in this heat--great prices and real wine in a nice atmosphere. The servers behind the bar were very nice and quick to help everyone. 5 stars.

This place is a perfect blend of bottle shop, bar, and neighborhood hang out. I love that they have a decent sake selection too. Folks that work there are super knowledgeable and friendly too

A fantastic bar and bottle shop with extremely knowledgeable and friendly staff. I’ve left here plenty of times with a new wine or vermouth etc that I would never have known about just by asking the staff. Great outdoor area to sit and sip some wine and gaze upon downtown durham as well!
