Azo VINO Wine Bar — Restaurant in Covina

Money is more important here. There is a minimum of 20 dollars charge before you enter the door. There is a sign saying: 2 drinks minimum, or you have to pay 20 dollars cover. I was curious about this wine bar and I heard about that they play live music, so I was going to give it a try. Before we enter the door, the sign said that everyone has to spend 20 dollars minimum here, before entering or turn around. Since I don't drink wine, so I was trying to buy some food and to order something to drink, so I thought that I could have easily spent 20 dollars here. However, the sign also mentioned: the band needs to be paid. This really turned me off. I didn't even know that I would like the band or the music they played at all. I just don't want to be reminded that it was my responsibility to pay for the band or so. Therefore, we had to turn around and leave this place. Plus, from outside of this wine bar, since it has many open glass door and windows, so it looked very bright at night time. I just don't see the ambience was good for a wine bar, when it was so bright like a barbershop next door. It certainly focuses on money before...

I’ve had the pleasure of performing (music) at this venue for years, and I can honestly say it’s one of the most thoughtfully curated wine bars around. The space is stunning — high ceilings, cozy couches, and warm hardwood floors that give it both elegance and comfort. The acoustics are fantastic for live music, and the atmosphere is always welcoming and laid-back. The wine selection is top-tier, with a great mix of high-end varietals and a solid lineup of domesticated beers for every kind of palate. What really makes this place special are the owners (my friends) Galen and Kathy, who run it with heart, integrity, and a deep love for community. They’ve created a space where people can gather, connect, and unwind. Whether you’re here for a glass of wine, a good conversation, or live music, this place...

Azo Vino’s is centrally located in Covina. It’s a great time during the week to bring in friends lots of entertainment during the week if you want to join in Bunco and Trivia once a month. Or on the weekends to listen to live music. So many varietals of wine, it’s not hard to find something that you like. Cold beer and 4 TVs to watch sports. We have also had a private party there which was outstanding and so much fun. Love that you can bring in...
