Wally’s Expanding With Two New Locations In SoCal

Congratulations lucky people of Century City and Malibu, ever-popular oenophile paradise Wally’s Wine & Spirits is landing at least two new locations in SoCal. Wally’s currently has three locations (Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, and Las Vegas) that specialize in the “finest food, beverages, and gourmet foods”, drawing in large well-heeled crowds with their chic “cave à vin” vibes. Here is a look at the new Wally’s at Century Plaza location, located in front of the Fairmont Century Plaza on Avenue of the Stars in Century City. Wally’s Holiday catalog is also promising a new location in Malibu at Cross Creek Ranch. Both are planning on a Spring 2026 opening. Read more about the new Century City outpost here.

Wally’s Opening Date In Santa Monica…

Ever since I first told you about wine wonderland Wally’s impending arrival to the space at 214 Wilshire Blvd. in Santa Monica, a whole lot of you have been checking for details and peppering me with questions about an opening date.  So here you go…  A spokesperson informed me yesterday that Wally’s will officially throw open their doors on October 6th.  You’re welcome.

The Gables All Day Eatery Coming To Downtown Santa Monica

Downtown Santa Monica is a flurry of restaurant activity right now:  Wally’s is on the way, as is a new North Italia, and Carlo’s Bake Shop.  Add to that list a new “All Day Eatery” going into a defunct jewelry shop at 331 Wilshire Blvd.  There’s not much out there yet on The Gables, just an undeveloped website and Facebook page.  It looks like they’re shooting for a Fall opening.

Update:  The Gables opens Wednesday, August 22.  Read Eater’s story  here.
