Brandon's

Worst. Wine bar. Ever.

I can't understand how this place stays in business in the middle of a thriving one-block downtown scene. On a Saturday night, this place was empty. Why? The worst wine list EVER. Hideously overpriced, underqualified Zinfandels (seriously - $16.95 for a glass of Zin that no one has ever heard of? No tasting menu. Just a crappy list of crappy wines by the glass. A cab, a Merlot, two Zins and a red blend that he was out of and could not find. Poor selection of wines on the wall, looking like he hadn't refreshed his collection since he'd opened! Disorganized, dirty and not worth visiting. Terrible place in every way possible, including crappy music and mindless stuff on the TV. He must have inherited money, because I otherwise cannot see how he can stay open, amidst stiff competition.  Give this place a miss and tell your friends.

In short: Subpar

Dark, dirty and over-priced; Brandon's could use a make-over. The place would kill at hour hour if there were more than one person staffing the joint, there was a lower-priced wine selection, and if the seating was not so odd. I love dives, but this was no dive due to price.

This place isn't bad.  It's a bit of a whole in the wall with three tables and maybe four seats at the counter.

Their wine selection is decent and the prices are a tad high.  However, I did appreciate that it was quiet and intimate. The decor needs work.  The two who were working that night (quite possibly, the woman is the owner) was kind and attentive.

If you're in Downtown Sunnyvale and are interested in a glass of a wine in a quiet establishment, I suggest this place.
