Then I remembered that I had visited it during a festival (print bazaar, perhaps, or Cherokee Caravan?). It somewhat reminded me of a lovely bar in Rome (Astemio), though it is also quite different. Plenty of wine variety here, and staff know the list pretty well. I had orange wine for at least one of my drinks. Can't remember what the 2nd drink was... maybe it was the other orange wine? Or a white. We sat out back so we could talk without echoes/as much noise distraction and eat macadamia nuts that I'd brought.

They had a vast menu of alcohol - we ended up getting a few glasses of wine. Unfortunately, they were not offering food on the day we went, but they partnered with next door, where we were able to order food - which was also really good. It was not busy when we went so our server had all attention on us. We had prompt refills and regular check ins. Overall, an awesome spot to grab a chill glass of wine with a friend :)

When she came back around, we both got the Violet letter (mezcal, crème de violet, citrus, and lemon. Here's where things took a turn.... For two drinks and with no exaggeration, it took well over a half-hour if not longer to get them. Minute after minute passed by where we watched the other tables get their drinks and we had to wait forever and a day for ours. By the time we got ours, I wasn't even in the mood. Of course it didn't help that the kitchen was closed, so we had no food to go with it. The drink itself was smoky, so smoky that it overpowered the rest of the ingredients in the drink, although I tasted hints of violet. Overall, the experience could have been better. I'm willing to give this place another shot, but maybe at a different time when it's not so busy.

Saw this place in passing and decided to check it out…read more The website said reservations were required (which we made). Not as fancy as one would envision when reservations are recommended. It's a cute little soul food/southern cooking place with a little bit of a wine list. There were 2 other couples and ourselves dining, so I'm not sure why reservations are recommended. In talking to the bartender (who was delightful), apparently the place gets busy for weekend brunch and certain nights with happy hour specials, and you would want reservations. The food was so good. The menu was extensive, and most dishes were priced around $15-25. We had a smash burger with fries, fried shrimp (they were out of the coconut shrimp we really wanted), Philly cheesesteak egg rolls, and a side salad. It took a while to come out, but we were not in a rush. Everything was carefully plated and presented. Portions were generous, and there wasn't anything we didn't like. We had a couple of cocktails, which also took a bit, but the bartender carefully crafted each one and they were divine. I can't speak for other nights, but for this Saturday night, it was just one cook (which I believe is the owner?) and then a bartender who did all the front of the house duties. So it was a very slow paced dinner- no big deal, but don't come here hangry. Everything looked clean and well organized. We really enjoyed eating here and will dine here again. I'd probably rate it 4.5 stars overall, but I had to round up to 5.

I ventured to this bar for the first time three years ago and am now a more frequent customer with my beau. On weekends, Phil is the expeditor while the sole bartender, Ed, creates magical drinks from behind the bar. Seating is very limited with no reservations, so bear that in mind. Also, the last call ends promptly at 1:00 AM, and 1:30 AM is the absolute cutoff for finishing up your experience there. Every drink I have had there has been excellently crafted and consistently good. It is pricey but worth it. My only critique would be the gender-neutral bathroom. It could use some love and a deep clean, but otherwise, it is a great place for a nightcap.

The wine selection was pretty solid, and they also had a great variety of beers. I didn't try the beer myself, but my guest really enjoyed theirs. The customer service was consistent and welcoming the entire time. We mainly came to relax, sip wine, and play UNO , and the atmosphere was perfect for that. While we didn't order food, everything coming out to nearby tables looked amazing. If you're looking for a mature, laid-back spot to unwind, Winnie's is definitely worth checking out. We'll definitely be back!

First time we came here our company reserved the back room for dinner- it was excellent! So my 3…read moreco-workers and I decided to come back the very next time we were in town. Six pm on a Tuesday, the bar was not busy. We asked server if we could sit at a table that had not been cleared since all the other tables in the area had "reserved" signs on them. The server told us "you can when I get to clearing it" so we sat at the bar understanding that it wasn't going to be any time soon. Fine, no big deal. The bartender wasn't too friendly, but again not a big deal- until the last person ordering asked for a chocolate martini. Nope. He couldn't do it- something about it wouldn't be good, then that he didn't have the ingredients. Fair enough but his delivery was super rude. The person ordering doesn't drink much else, so looked at the menu and settled on a modified espresso martini. Everyone else was drinking wine- all was good. We let him know we were going to be splitting the bill 4 ways. He came back and we ordered 4 small plates to share to start- but forgot to ask for fries- we tried 3 times to get his attention- fourth time was the charm when he brought plates and silverware to us. The food was good, that's the saving grace for this review. The server came back around to let us know the table was ready halfway through our first round of food. We already knew the employees weren't going to get any nicer if we asked to move, so we stayed put. A couple sat down next to us and the bartender fawned all over them- brought the manager out twice to meet with them as well. We ordered more food. But he never got friendlier or more attentive to our group- we didn't take it personally especially when two other men sat down next to us and he also treated them with disdain. We flagged him down when we were done and asked again to split the bill evenly. He muttered something the said something else about already having separate checks for our drinks. He came back with the split the food evenly besides our drinks- fine. We all agreed this wasn't good service - but we're not going to not tip him! We all tipped between 15-20%. As we walked to the door, we saw him look at each of the receipts, then threw down the booklets. The whole restaurant turned. We waited for him to look at us at the door- But he didn't. He acted like a child. And you know who's Wales around the bar to pick up the booklets? The server who gave us attitude first. Felt bad for her. Will never be back.

You can tell the owners, Tasha and Chip, take great pride in their business based on how thorough the service is and the curated atmosphere.

Speaking of love, right now they are showcasing their holiday pop-up decorations, which are so cute! I would go to visit them just for that alone.

The papas bravas were probably my favorite because of the ingredients in the sauce. Ive never had anything like it. The ricotta bread was also delicious and had a kick. My only non perfect rating would have to be the chorizo. The apple sauce with the chorizo felt like an odd pairing. Wish there was a third item in that dish that brought it together. The drinks were also amazing.

Best rose i have ever had. My favorite was the brussels with the sunflower caramel. Lightly sweet with the fried oily crispy sprouts.

If you want a small eventful place for celebrating, this is a nice touch. Upstairs with rows and rows of adult beverages (after all it is an adult beverage store) which also is an event space. There are 4 plexiglass squares cut into the floor for an opportunity to look into the event space downstairs. Food I tried the small charcuterie board ($25) which was enough for 2. I was able to make some substitutions. Bar I chose a couple beverage selections and was provided a wine glass and a cocktail (of sorts) glass. My guest purchased Bloody Mary fixings' (vodka and the Bloody Mary mixer). The manager poured the beverage for her (cup of ice, etc.). The bar has straight adult beverages you can order. No Cocktail mixing here, purchase what you like from the rows and rows of beverages. Store There are some rolls of meats and snacks to be purchased as well for you to take or go.

Bring your guests to this lovely spot. No cigar smoking (although it seems like it's a cigar spot, the manager has made it clear...NO SMOKING of any kind)! This is not the place for that. You can order charcuterie trays from them and also bring in your own catered food. So, RENT this place out and please your guests without breaking the bank! Exterior It looks intimidating but in actuality it's a FUN place with.. a 3-hole green miniature golf pad with a space of turf! How fun. And 3-permanently placed, tall, round tables. There are colorful cushions inside (to bring outside and place on the concrete wall). The putters and flags are sat next to the door. Summary Visit! Say hi!

Overall, it seems like a great place to pick up a bottle of wine or gather for happy hour.
