There were a lot of different sized tables to accommodate any group. This would be a great spot for a rainy afternoon, book club, date night, etc. We didn't realize it was Michigan wines only which is not our favorite, but the bartender was really helpful in helping us find alternatives. They offered Michigan whiskey, cocktails, cider, and beer. I got a cider & my fiancée got a beer from a local Geneva brewery. We absolutely loved both of them! There were also some bar snacks available, candy, cherries, cheese & crackers, etc. to munch on if you're hungry. They have a cute retail shop in the front with merch, cutting boards, and wine. Weirdly specific, but they also carry my FAVORITE line of lavender soaps and lotions from northern Michigan.

A small group of friends and I snagged a table and had some beverages (beers, wine) accompanied by some snacks they sell. The weather was amazing and our outdoor table offered the most perfect ambiance and atmosphere. Surrounding us was a healthy mix of young and old, married and single, kids and adults and it made for a wonderful picnic vibe. Sophisticated yet casual. Drinks were modestly priced and snacks were a bit more, as expected. But nothing that made me beer-out. The one thing, however, was the restroom situation. We ended up finding... other alternatives... plan accordingly. This was my first time @ GW and I'm a big fan; can't wait to come back!

We decided to stop for a quick drink and listen to the acoustic music group that was playing. It was very warm so we were excited that they offer wine slushes with a variety of flavors. Each slushy is topped with one of their wines. I had the pear slushy and my wife had the frozen lemonade. Both were very refreshing. They also offer wine flights,wine by the glass or bottle and a nice selection of cheese,crackers and dips. Dogs are welcome.

The Prosecco by glass was good, but I wanted a little something more. The tequila and whiskey/bourbon selection is vast for a wine bar, I was wildly impressed considering I'm not actually a wine drinker. The flatbreads are huge and the charcuterie board was fantastic! Can't wait to come back

And when I asked if they had a food menu I was rather bluntly told they were not a restaurant. But I could grab food from any of the places in the area and bring it in. And since I don't drink alcohol, my contribution to their till was two cans of coke. Plus my fee for the event. They have a room in the back overlooking the river. Ticket sales were limited to 50 so assume that's capacity. High power lines kind of disrupt the view, but welcome to Batavia. It is what it is. The rustic doors which separate that space, while attractive, were a bit ineffective at blocking out sound from a rather small group in the front bar.

We bought a bottle of Spanish Red to go with our Paella. They do charge a 15.00 fee to drink the wine you buy on their patio . They also offer flights that pair well with the food but we preferred just a red. The food was made fresh and it was brought out to you in different courses.

THE MALBECKONING…read more SixtyFour Wine Bar is a winning concept in downtown Naperville. Much like what Tapville Social does for beer, SixtyFour follows the concept of guests having the freedom to pour their own drinks. This place is on Water St in Naperville, near Vasili's and Blue Sushi Sake. Street parking isn't plentiful so the garage is your best bet, especially in the evening. You can build your own charcuterie, but use caution: everything is a la carte and without much effort that cute cheese platter can swell upwards of $40. This happened to us on our 1st visit, I thought "yeah sure, add a $4 honeycomb and seasonal jams, why not" to go with the $9 prosciutto, $7 manchego, and $5 cornichons. More recently, I got the restaurant week pre-fixe ($49) which included a starter, entrée, dessert, and glass of champagne. Each course separately would've added up to $55 (not counting the bubbly), so this option saved a few bucks. Both my wife and I got a pour-your-own wine card, that set us back about $20pp. The wifey got a mix of a dozen west coast & east coast oysters ($36) that came with cocktail sauce and a zippy pomegranate mignonette. The goat cheese bruschetta ($13) was incredible: goat cheese spread on several large pieces of grilled sourdough with roasted tomato and balsamic. We loved this and would get it again in a heartbeat. 5/5 The dates ($13) were a different story, however, as they came with cranberry goat cheese, orange honey, and crushed walnuts. I've been so used to savory dates (wrapped in bacon with a tomato sauce) that this much sweeter iteration caught me off guard. They weren't objectively bad, I just wouldn't order them again. 3/5 For my main course, I chose the short rib ($31) as I've done several times now: tender beef with mashed potatoes, braised carrots, crispy onions, and a red wine jus. This is a delicious entrée that I find myself steering towards every time I'm here, as it pairs perfectly with a Malbec or red blend. 5/5 The gnocchi ($33) were fairly pricey which I attribute to big chunks of lobster in a white sauce. But what SixtyFour did felt like a "bastardization" of gnocchi (my wife's words, not mine) by turning it into a homemade mac 'n' cheese of sorts, cooking it in a mini cast iron skillet topped with toasted breadcrumbs. Say what?! "Breadcrumbs" and "gnocchi" should never be used in the same sentence, unless it's "hey honey I did that grocery shopping, and I got beer, eggs, wine, gnocchi, ice cream, laundry detergent, kitty litter, AAA batteries and a box of breadcrumbs". It tasted fine, but there was absolutely no need to innovate here. 1.5/5 We reached a split decision on the dirty chai crème brûlée ($11). My wife thought it was different but lovely, whereas I found it strayed too far from vanilla custard and the flavor was overpowering, as if I just snorted tea leaves. It was REALLY strong, y'all! 3/5 Bread = 3.5 Circuses = 4.5 Our server Melissa was attentive and let us know about the wine tasting inside near the hostess' stand. We had a couple small pours (1-2oz) which equated to a free half glass, no complaints there. Restrooms were clean and the outside patio has a relaxing ambiance. The vibes are classy, romantic even. * TL;DR * It's fun sampling bold reds, sweet whites, and even rosé in 1oz, 3oz, and 6oz pours. I pity the fool who grabs a glass, sticks it underneath the first tap they see up front and presses 'POUR' without realizing they just selected a 2014 Chateau Haut-Brion ...... which retails for $500 a bottle! A half glass is nearly $75! I'll stick with a $7 Shiraz, thanks. As for the food, it's been mostly great with only a few exceptions. The gnocchi was whack, and the chai crème brûlée was polarizing. Due to the presence of delicate wine glasses literally everywhere, I would keep kids away from here. Leave the little ones at home and come here for date night. SixtyFour lists themselves as a wine bar first and kitchen second, which I agree with. If what you're seeking is a kitchen *and* wine bar, hit up a Coopers Hawk. Both places have solid wine selections, but being able to enjoy wine on-demand is a big plus. I'd happily recommend SixtyFour to friends and family.

I was contacted about setting up the tasting and told Ed Fischer that I needed time because of the surgery, and I would contact him when I had availability. He contacted my husband over and over again. Today I told him (again) that it was not a good time for us. Given how pushy he was, I asked to have the wine and we could do the tasting ourselves. He said it does not "work that way," and that "he doesn't work for free," and he isn't coming for someone who is "not interested in purchasing wine." This is abhorrent.
