Visitors serve themselves from a nifty wine dispenser--taste, 1/2 pour, or full glass. I would definitely add this place to every trip to Rhinelander.

As a winemaker in California wine country, I'd rank Mary Kate's right up there with the best wine…read morebars in San Francisco or Napa--at a fraction of the price. Their selection is outstanding: a well-balanced mix of familiar, high-quality domestic wines (think Cakebread, Caymus, Ken Wright), rare gems you'll almost never spot on a by-the-glass list (like an incredible Royal Tokaji Furmint from Hungary), and top-tier premium vintages (including Kathryn Hall and Will Harlan). The best part? Almost every wine--except the ultra-premier vintages--is available in 2 oz pours, making it easy to explore without committing to a full glass. I have no idea how they keep so many bottles perfectly fresh (magic? generous amounts of Argon?), but it works. The décor nails the theme, the staff are warm and knowledgeable, and the small plates are thoughtfully chosen to complement the wines. A must-visit for anyone who loves exploring wine without breaking the bank.

We usually stay in town at one of the motor lodges and frequent the local establishments for food and drink. One place we hit at least once is McGann's Pub and Wine Bar. It is run by a couple, Denny and Ellen, in what was a residence at some point. The wine bar is in the lower level with a bar and tables spread through out. There is also an outdoor patio. The owners are transplants from the Chicago area and some of the decor shows their roots (Chicago Cubs stuff, I am a White Sox fan :)). The place is very relaxing and laid back with a mixture of locals and out of towners clientele. A great place to meet people while enjoying a glass of wine or a beer. They make their own thin crust pizzas which also show their Chicago roots. Great pizza! It may take some time to get as Denny makes each pizza with love.

The prices are good, and the drinks are even better. I got a huge glass of fantastic sangria for only $8! We also ordered the pita and hummus tapa, which was so so good. And it came with a LOT of pita (much appreciated). The music inside is awesome, and the aesthetic is really cool. I loved all the paintings. Service was a bit slow when we came...but because of how long we had to wait they comped our drinks so I can't complain at all. That was so nice of them to do! Overall an awesome place, I will definitely come back here every time I visit.

We ordered a burrata type dip and we were even able to add a gluten-free corn chip on the side in addition to the bread. The wine selection is great and has wines from all over the world!

My in laws live in the area and we are always looking for new things to do when we visit. This is such a welcome addition to the area! The vibe is chill with a bunch of tables, some high tops and even a lounge area. The beer list is impressive with beers from all over place. They also have hard seltzers and wine if beer isn't your thing. We got some popcorn and of course a basket of the free peanuts! We also got a pizza. You basically grab a frozen pizza (all locally sourced) and they cook it and bring it to your table. Seems like they have cool events going on all the time too! We will definitely be back!

This is a cool hangout spot for sure!
