This was my first time here and I was delighted to speak with Derick, the owner about the business. He was proud to share that their five year anniversary is coming up this fall. The space is nicely decorated and has a comfortable vibe. There is a bar and tables. Looks like a great spot for a romantic sip. We indulged with a flight of wine which you can have one, two or three selections and a charcuterie board to go along with the wine. All the selections (food and wine) are flexible so everyone should be happy! Definitely looking forward to a return trip. read more

Intimate surroundings for a largely female clientele. Charcuterie selections are excellent. Many varied wine choices although a bit expensive for the size of pour. Good for an occasional treat but pricy overall. read more

I was strolling main street and figured I would stop in before dinner at Livs. My spontaneous decision paid off! The interior is sleek with dark wood leather seating and banquettes and modern warm globe lighting. The selection is large with flights wine cocktails and several sparkling by the glass, I sparkling offeres like this often. I selected a melon Muscadet five ounce. The server informed me Fridays a 5 ounce pour is double portion for the same price. No complaints here. The charcuterie selection looked delicious as I observed other bar guests build perfect bites. If I didn't have a dinner res, I would definitely have ordered a board. The staff was very helpful and concerned with cleanliness . Five stars. read more

This place is a hidden gem. My husband and I stopped for wine and apps for our anniversary. We chatted with the owner Derrik, and our server, Steve. They were very friendly and helpful. We told Steve which types of wines we like, and he put together flights for us, which were perfect. The cheeses there was amazing as well. I highly recommend the Delice de Bourgogne cheese that's nice and creamy. I really loved the little fruit crackers they came with. Can't wait to go back. read more

I stopped in here with a group of friends on a Friday afternoon to try out some new wines. We got there shortly after they opened and were able to get a table pretty easily. The wine options are great and it's nice that you can get a glass or a flight of options. Our waiter was also really helpful and able to describe the ones with a lot of information. We each got a flight and then we also shared a board of cheese and bites for the table. It's a bit expensive, but definitely good quality and a cute spot. I recommend a visit! read more

A hidden gem in the town of Old Saybrook, CT. My sister surprised me here for my birthday surprise back in March 2021. And it was an amazing experience. A very small yet cute & cozy wine bar. The Staff is very friendly and overall the atmosphere is also very nice & light. They have cheese boards, crackers and desserts to pair with wine. Highly encouraged and recommended to stop by here if you live near by or are in the area. Their spring Rosè was definitely worth trying! read more

Sip Wine Bar - Pick 3 Cheese plate - Wine Bars Near Me - Old Saybrook, Connecticut

An absolute gem for the area! Staff is so friendly and knowledgeable and the space atmosphere is cute. They have a small area at the bar for seating and then seating within the space as well and outdoor seating in the summer. They offer specials and promotions alongside events. Food: charcuterie options and desserts we love the options and pairings they have for the wines. We never come here without getting the lemon cloud cake dessert. Wines: This place is great because they bring in so many different wines for you to experience and try from all different regions around the world. You can do flights or glasses which is nice. You can also buy bottles. In addition to wines you can also order cappuccinos and coffee which is so nice. Whether it is meeting a friend after work, going on a date, or just stopping in on the weekend this place is the absolute gem. A local establishment, I wish there were more places like this on the shoreline. read more

A hidden gem! This is such a fun alternative to a winery and a great addition to the area. My girlfriends and I went one afternoon and enjoyed some wine flights and a cheese plate. It is a bit pricey and the only reason I'm not giving it five stars is because of a mix up with the price of a glass of wine (charged for a more expensive wine that we didn't ask for). read more

This is my third time this week going to Sip! I absolutely love it. I'm not a big wine drinker, but I have to say it's the experience of Sip that makes it a special place. The owners know so much about the wines & recommend amazing pairings. I enjoy getting a flight of 3 to try dinners wines. I've always done a cheeseboard -- and current love the 3 Year Aged-Cheddar, Cashel Blue, and Midnight Moon. Highly recommend the fig jam if you have to choose one side! We also splurged and finished off the night with a Carrot Cupcake, and Flourless Chocolate Cake. The owner recommended wines to go with the dessert & they were delicious. They truly are so helpful! read more

I came here for my bachelorette lunch and it was PERFECT! I loved every part of our experience and so did my bridesmaids. The atmosphere is beautiful, it is so cute inside. Also, we loved the curtains that made us feel like we were in our own little area. They have a great wine selection and everything I tried in my flight was delicious. I like red wines and most of my friends like white wines and we all loved what we ordered. The food offered is also great. Our server was very friendly and informative and I was so impressed by a kind gesture she extended:). I can't wait to come back! read more

I almost cried at how good of service they had. Disability friendly 10/10. Love this place.

Our fourth visit here. Derrick has created something truly magical here. The environment is really perfect for the offering. Best cheeseboard around bar none! Fabulous ever-changing wine lists, by glass, half bottle or bottle so lots of opportunity to try different wines. Ryan our server a total gent, helpful, knowledgeable and engaging. Derrick really has created something special here. Can't wait for our fifth visit read more

This is our second time there, and it is our last. We sat at the bar so the people working couldn't have missed us coming in. That being said, the service was terrible. When we got there, two people were sitting at the bar, three tables were used and two of them already had their wine and food. Took 15 minutes for us to get the bartender to take our order. Got our wine flights 10-15 minutes later. (They scribbled our wine choices for my wife on a torn napkin. Me, not so lucky. I had to guess.) We also ordered the charcutier board to pair with the wines. That can almost a half hour after we got our wine! So much for the pairing. The people sitting at one of the tables also came up to the bar and asked about getting the food they had alread ordered. Doubt we will ever go back. Nice concept. Bad execution. read more

This is a charming wine bar nestled in plaza in old saydbrook, my fiancé and I enjoyed a fine selection of their various curated wines, discovering a moscato that was among the best we've ever tried, alongside charcuterie of fine meats, cheese, fruits, and crackers/bread. A good place to get a date started or to wind down the evening after dinner. FYI, if you like a certain type of wine, the wine bar will sell you that bottle of wine which was a great convenience because I did not want scurrying along to track down that bottle at local wine/liquor stores or try ordering online. read more

Cute wine bar, went here a while back and got the cheese board, very yummy. And I love how the wines are oxygenated with these cool wine coolers. Cozy spot to have a nice glass and good conversation read more

So excited this place opened up! My best friend and I have been in multiple times a week since we discovered it and we're so happy we did. The owner is always happy to help select wines to go with different cheeses, and has helped us explore wines we never would have tried before. Christina, our server, is so sweet and always tentative. The wines are carefully selected and you can always taste one before ordering it. They did a great job designing the bar, it has a modern and cozy feel inside - perfect for date night or a Sunday afternoon. The food is fresh and cheeses come from fromage, another local business in old saybrook. The dessert wines are also a must!! Cannot recommend Sip enough!! We've brought friends and family here and it's always a hit. read more

What a great place to spend a couple of hours. Our server gave us advice as what to order. Wine and cheese both excellent. Local couple owns the place, and it shows. Place is immaculate, with positive social distancing. Old Saybrook just gets better and better. read more

We came in when the bar was at full capacity, and they told us to either hang around or call in 20 minutes to see if anything opened up. They didn't take our name or phone number down. So we waited in the parking lot, called back in 20 minutes, and they told us someone came right after us and they sat them before us. When we called, she said it's first come first serve, but we literally got there first. They should have taken our name and phone number to reserve our table since we got there first. read more

A wonderful atmosphere for a relaxing glass of wine (or three). Really accommodating staff and top notch customer service. A must- stop establishment in a gorgeous area.
