A Moody New Wine Bar Settles Into Sleepy Valley Village This Week

The San Fernando Valley’s date night drinking options just got a lot more interesting thanks to Mirabelle Wine Bar. The new Valley Village destination quietly opened this week along Burbank Boulevard; here’s what to expect.

Mirabelle (not to be confused with the now-deceased decades old Sunset Strip restaurant of similar name) is the work of David Gibbs and Nick Caballero, two longtime wine vets themselves. Gibbs has been involved with several projects around town, and has long worked with former Augustine Wine Bar manager Caballero. Now the pair has partnered up with this new spot, a low key, dim hang with deep blue booths, a few craft beer taps, and a well-stocked back bar filled with approachable and rare wines alike.

As for food, the former Bar One space has not been fully flipped into a restaurant so don’t expect anything too serious. Instead the focus is on Spanish bar staples like conservas and charcuterie. Mirabelle Wine Bar is open now, keeping hours from 5 p.m. until late daily.
