Blu Temple

I can't believe I didn't post a review of this company after the BSD event last year! OMG!!The service here is amazing! Top Notch! The Ambiance it beautiful! I will definitely return. They have an excellent selection of wines and cigars! I will definitely be back.

I absolutely LOVE this place! This is my second time and won't be my last. The hospitality is always on point and the 2 brothers that are usually in there running the place are always a pleasure to talk to. The music is always a vibe too. Nice, intimate setting to wind down after a long day.

The vibe is tranquil and relaxing. Soft music played in the background but not to loud you couldn't hear the conversations flowing. Johanas was extremely pleasant and the wine recommendations were spot on! 5 out of 5.

Love this place. Beautiful decor, great service and a variety of themed nights. On Wednesdays you can check out a mellow Hip Hop Night, and on Thursdays they have an awesome Spoken word event. Fridays and Saturdays they have a DJ. There's also table games available for you and your friends, or you can make a new one while here. It's a place where you want to look casual/professional to sip on some fine wine and kickback with great convo. There's also charcuterie boards available if you're feeling like a snack. Johnny is an amazing and knowledgeable Sommelier so be sure to pick his brain about the wine! The owners did a fantastic job on the layout of this quaint and highly attractive establishment. Although it is a cigar lounge, you can purchase, but can't smoke inside due to it being inside the mall so keep that in mind if you're looking to smoke. 10 stars all the way around!

Last Friday (March 31st) I had planned to visit another wine bar but on the recommendation of a friend, our plans were changed and we ended up at the Blu Temple. I had never heard of it and now I'm kicking myself for my living-under-a-rock status. I should have known, shame on me! BUT I know now! What a refreshing experience and a nice journey into the unknown. Johanus lead us on a journey that educated our minds as well as our palates with his extensive knowledge of wine! The clientele as I did seemed to become enveloped into a warm jazzy vibe that made us feel as if we'd been invited to sit at the cool table. To top it off I met a fellow poet and spoken word artist who moonlights as security in his free time. The Blu Temple is my new spot because I'm officially cool and though it's not anywhere on the website or the menu, this is where the cool people are!

I'm not a huge wine drinker but Johnny was such a great help while trying to decide on something I would like. He was very welcoming and funny !

Super friendly and decent selection but they gotta lose the red rope in front (if they can... it might be a mall requirement. Not sure.) Mission Valley Mall isn't some trendy LA hotspot.Also pretty expensive. Mission Valley Mall ain't a high-class place so this is a bit out of place. All in all. Place is good, location is bad.

Such a cool place if you want more of a chill vibe. The service was amazing, such lovely staff! Will most definitely be coming again!

The best experience! The ambiance is very welcoming and charming. Amazing wines and service. Staff are extremely knowledgeable and make great recommendations. Everyone definitely needs to come and try!

This place has it all! Great service, immense employees and wonderful drinks! Great place to to go on a nice night out with a couple friends for drinks and a ambiance! Will definitely be coming back!
