Went here for happy hour with my mom and sister. Was greeted by the humans right campaign sticker on the front door which immediately put a smile on my face. We stuck to ordering a lot of drinks and appetizers that were on happy hour menu. They had a free appetizer for checking in which you can't argue with either. Lots of drinks to order from. Appetizers were amazing, service was great, always came back to check if we wanted more drinks or food. The only reason I docked one star was because the server assumed that my sister was my mom and that my mom was my grandma. It's a common mistake to make, but something no one should ever assume. Overall, I definitely recommend! read more

Been there twice and loved it both times. Good wine selections and great food to go along with it. Small so make reservations. But do yourself a favor and go try this place. read more

Shannon has a beautiful little wine tapas bar that is a hidden gem in Ahwatukee. Hesitated writing this review for selfish reasons so they don't get super busy! Food is very good...Fried Chicken, pork. Adorable back patio, wonderful wine collection just such a comfortable neighborhood wine bar. Don't miss the annual wine tasting event! read more

My Wine Cellar is a gem in Ahwatukee! A quaint establishment with a great patio overlooking the golf course, an upbeat music list, knowledgeable staff concerning their vast wine selection, which is paired beautifully with their food selections. I traveled from East Chandler to try My Wine Cellar, and will continue to do so. If you're searching for a post work glass of wine, a date night or an event with friends...I highly recommend you visit sooner rather than later!! read more

Wonderful, wonderful and marvelous! Service is excellent, food is excellent! Ambiance is super relaxing.. I highly recommend this restaurant for the service, food, wine and ambiance!! Sit outside, listen to live music and knosh!!! read more

This place is the perfect low key, dimly lit, little wine bar in the valley. After being told it was an hour wait at Postinos we decided to try My Wine Cellar and we're so glad we did! The wine selection was broad and the cocktails all sounded delicious. The restaurant was quiet and relaxed. My husband had the Japanese mule (sake, ginger beer, and lime) and he said it was smooth and very flavorful- it also came in a tall stout glass so you get a lot for your money. We shared the panna cotta and it was divine! The thick panna cotta is topped with pistachio chunks and drizzled with honey and I can't recommend it enough! Their happy hour menu looked decent- $2 off wine and beer from 3-6. All in all we loved this place and will definitely be back for more! read more

If I could give a zero I would. Rude hostess on October 8, 2020 at 5:30pm. We waited outside for a few minutes because the sign said "Please wait outside for hostess" after a few minutes my husband peaked inside to make sure they knew we were outside. The waitness hostess snipe at him and said "the sign says wait outside". 1st it is hot outside. 2nd we just wanted to make sure we were seen. 3rd Be kind to people who have been patronizing your local establishment for over 16 years. But no worries I am enjoying a lovely glass of wine down the street at Tratoria D'Amico. If you want snobby go to this joint. read more

Visited here with our daughter. Good food, good service, friendly service, wide choice of libations. Definitely recommend.

We came here on a Friday evening for happy hour and weren't disappointed. The place wasn't bustling with people, which was a big relief! We picked a corner booth and got seated. The menu looked quite amazing actually. I walked in here with absolutely no expectations of food but that quickly changed when I scanned through a rather comprehensive list of food items that they had to offer. We both picked a glass of wine each, which were $2 off because of happy hour. We decided to start with an order of French onion dumplings and truffle fries. The dumplings were perfectly done.. with crispy edges on the exterior and a beautifully cheesy filling. They serve it with au jus which we chose not to pour on over the dumplings. Instead, we opened them just enough to pour the jus directly inside them individually. Best. Decision. Ever. The flavors with spot on and the crunch from the dumpling wrapper was a really nice touch. The fries however fell really short. They were cut really thick and didn't get enough time in the fryer. They turned out soggy and limp.. quite easily one of the worst I've had. My disappointment kinda fell on the wayside because I was still savoring the wine and dumplings. We walked out feeling pretty good about this place. I would definitely return. read more

Awesome! We went during Happy Hour. Ordered the bacon wrapped dates, baked goat cheese, & charcuterie. Everything was wonderful. All plated beautifully and so yummy! Staff are friendly and helpful. They are knowledgeable about the dishes served and wines. This establishment is filled with regulars. All a good sign. If we lived near by we would be regulars too. read more

First time at The Cellar. We will be back. Good place for conversation, music volume just right. Not crowded during happy hour (3:00-5:00). Service very friendly and welcoming. Good atmosphere, fresh flowers on every table. read more

This is an awesome wine bar with great food, music and atmosphere! The staff is very friendly and provide great service. Also a great place for a Saturday date night. I especially enjoy the wine pairings as part of the wine club with live music outside on the patio. read more

The Cellar - Nothing beats a great atmosphere and great wine. - Wine Bars Near Me - Ahwatukee, Arizona

We have been regulars at my Wine Cellar for a couple of years now. The wine, service, and food are always amazing. Shannon (the owner) likes to change up the menu with specials which allows for a new food experience, every time, without affecting the regular menu with all the favorites that you can count on being there week after week. I like that I can try something new but also count on that my favorites will still be available. ( I still like to reminisce about the "Thanksgiving Mac and Cheese" special they ran last November. Seriously, it was that good.) They have live music with some amazing artists on Friday and Saturday nights and wine club is so much fun too. I love how welcoming the staff are and you truly feel like you belong there and are treated like royalty. And if you're looking for the best Al Fresco dining in the area, look no further. I can't wait for patio season!! If you're looking for your go to wine bar, give them a try. I really love this place! read more

Love the ambience. Love the staff. Love the food! I never been here, but went this evening with a friend. Ashley was sweet and answered all my questions. Had a drink and a dish called the Farmers Market. It was mouth watering and healthy. Can't recommend this place enough! read more

Love this place! I have been coming here on and off for quite a few years. I believe they are currently the only wine bar in the Ahwatukee area. The Wine Cellar is tucked away off Warner Rd and the I-10. The welcoming staff, dim lights and display of artwork on the walls gives it a nice neighborhood ambiance. They have a large selection of boutique wines and craft beers. Behind the restaurant is a outdoor patio area with occasional live music. Its relaxing atmosphere makes it a great place for a date night or a quiet night out with friends. I've always enjoyed their selection of wines. They have some wine flights to choose from or you can order by the glass or bottle. I haven't had many opportunities to try their food. I went on a Wednesday and got their bottle of wine and flatbread for $25 (they have different specials on weekdays). I got the brie and prosciutto flatbread and thought it was pretty good. They also offer a wine club for regulars and 101 classes for those wanting to learn more about wine. Parking can a little tight up in the front but definitely a great place to stop if in the area. read more

Friendly staff, cozy ambience, convenient parking, easy to find, and great food. Thanks to my Yelp friends, I can eat well while on vacation without having to settle. I always know what I'm going to order prior to going out. read more

To be back in one of our favorite establishments in the area was awesome. Atmosphere was spectacular with music and lighting. Food was good. The service was poor. There was more focus on cleaning than customer service. There were very few people in the establishment and the lack of service is unexplained. In a time when people have been laid off, service and quality of food should be of top priority, especially when the bill is iver $150.00 for 2 people. We waited a while to get our check & When we overheard the waitress say that she knew that we were waiting we adjusted the tip accordingly. We hope they make it because we love this place. Please Don't take our patronage for granted. read more

Found this restaurant on Yelp. We are from out of town, staying at Wild Horse and looking for a Tapas restaurant. We are so glad that we found this place!! We met some friends there and Everything (food and service) was AMAZING!! My husband said the Fried Chicken was the best he has ever had and said that he will be craving that for years to come. Looks like this is going to be our go to next time we are in the Phoenix area again!! read more

The wine list, views, and appetizers are great. I love the veggie platter and the chicken strips with Jalapeño jelly, it's a definitely not what you think when you order chicken strips. I love the goat cheese dip and bread too. It gets kinda pricey as for as appetizers go and sometimes the service is pretty slow. read more

Outstanding view, amazing service, great wine selection, delicious food. Enough said? This place is awesome. The music selection is the best and it is filled with love and culture! read more

I took my staff here for a happy hour retirement party for our boss. The service was prompt and attentive, the ambiance was nice, with soft lighting and non-intrusive music playing in the background, and the meat and cheese platters and bruschetta I ordered were all delicious. This was a hit with the staff and I can easily see coming back here for another event soon. read more

I absolutely love this place. I have been twice and Katie (bar manager) has been my server both times...she is great! She recommended the bacon/Squash flatbread and it was outstanding! The wine was great, and even greater on HH (which, btw their HH is from open to 6pm M-S. They are not open before 3pm though, so don't try going here for lunch...it's a chill, nighttime place to bring dates or close friends/family members. On weekends, there is always an acoustic musician playing. I have experienced Blaine Long and Notes from Neptune. Both phenomenal. Long story short...if you read my reviews you know I like chill spots with great lighting and patios. This is another one of those....I will be back for a 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc time. :) read more

I have been here once for HH and didn't get a chance to indulge in the food. It's a cozy wine bar with some nice wine selections that gets busy and on the small side. It's a neighborhood wine bar so I really cannot compare to Postino's (in a different league). Only drawback service was really slow..almost 10 minutes for a server to take the order but I still would like to return for a glass of vino and maybe an app next time. read more

Shawizzz......zzzz.....zzzz What my expectations of this cute little wine restaurant sounded. At first glance I was excited since Saturday nights are my nights to go Yelping! My Wine Cellar is the first stop. My guest and I sat at the bar. We ordered a few drinks.... we ordered a few drinks....I said we ORDERED A FEW DRINKS! Oh there you are! For a minute there I was getting thirsty. Granted big party was "in da house" out back rockin' away, but really I'm sitting at the bar. I can reach over to pour my own drink if that is fine. We ordered some roasted Brussel Sprouts, Classic Pizza, Fries, and Hummus. Brussel Sprouts were good, Fries were greasy, Classic Pizza -- well was classic and the Hummus was good minus the rock bread we ate it with. Only thing I dig so far about this place is the ambience. I love the outdoor patio overlooking the green grass and the band gave it a Jazzy feel. I think they should invest in more couches, but that's just my opinion. - Enjoy! read more

Service was great. We got wine and appetizers. Food was excellent. We got the goat cheese which was a amazing. read more

The Cellar - Wine Bars Near Me - Ahwatukee, Arizona

I have been to My Wine Cellar a few times since the change in ownership and I have to say I'm still not sure what to think. I love the idea of a cozy wine bar just a few blocks from my house and that is what this place seems to be. I walk in and the atmosphere is quite cozy and even though there is not a huge crowd of people. The bar is usually full enough and everyone is chatting and appears to be having a good time. Even though the staff is welcoming, I still get this feeling like I'm an "outsider" and not quite a "regular" yet. Can't really place my finger on why. The happy hour prices and selection for beer and wine are fantastic! Full price would be a little more than I would like to spend, but then again I love a good deal so anything "full price" just seems like I'm missing out. We used Living Social coupon a few days before the expiration and were a little bummed that the coupon wasn't good for the happy hour prices. I know this is somewhat typical, however that just makes the restaurants that DO allow the coupons during happy stand out that much more! In the time that I have had food (after the ownership change and before), I think it is obvious this place is all about the wine and the food is an afterthought. Nothing wrong with that. I think it is necessary to offer food if you want people to stay and drink a while; we've got to have something to snack on! Bruschettas, thin and crispy pizzas, and salads all with great descriptions on the menu, but the execution leave a little to be desired. Some of the appetizers taste like I could have just gone to Trader Joe's or Costco and purchased the same thing myself. I promise I am not trying to make this sound bad, I will go back to the wine cellar when I want to relax (but not at home, but not too far away either) with a good glass of wine and a calm, cozy atmosphere. I do like to go there, but I think I like the idea more than the reality. It seems as if there is some unrealized potential at the wine cellar, or maybe that is just the optimist in me. The lesson here is that I will be sure to go during the "happy" hours and I won't go when I'm hungry. read more

I was searching Yelp for bars with live music on a Friday night and My Wine Cellar came up with having a DJ who spins acid jazz. It was date night, so I figured why not. We arrived and the place was fairly busy, but not packed. We were immediately greeted by all three members of the front-of-house staff. We were able to get a table against the wall in a booth-combo setup. Katie, the bar manager, arrived promptly and said that we made it for happy hour and explained all the HH specials. The deals are good, especially if you want to explore some new wine tastes at a reasonable by the glass price. Anyway, she asked us what brought us in and I explained the Yelp search. She then told us that the DJ wasn't playing but a new young guitar player was going to be doing acoustic blues. We were totally down with that. We ordered two beers and a bruschetta combo. The bruschetta was very unique, on good artisan bread, and topped with well created toppings. We ordered the Caprese with tomato, basil, and fresh mozzarella; the Spanish, with mozzarella and thinly sliced chorizo with red peppers, and the brie and caramelized red onion. It was a nice selection, and at only $11 was more than enough food to start our evening. We took advantage of the happy hour food specials by ordering the tempura green beans with spicy aioli on the side. The tempura was crisp, but left a little too much grease. The flavor was really good and the aioli was a good accompaniment. We were content. As the end of happy hour approached, we decided to order two glasses of wine and were given direction by Katie, who is also My Wine Cellar's sommelier. She did a great job of listening to our likes and matched two wines to our flavor profiles perfectly. My wife had the Redwood Pinot Noir and I had the Crucillon Garnacha, a Spanish Zinfandel. The music started and it was pleasant, although we were very close to the artist, so we decided to move to the bar. It was also a little warm back in the corner and the bar was much cooler. At the bar, we ordered two flatbreads, my wife opting to revisit the brie and caramelized red onion (she loved it), and me choosing the house specialty, The Territorial, a bbq-styled treat with short rib meat and provolone. It was excellent. Our evening at My Wine Cellar was thoroughly enjoyable, with each member of the staff conscientiously attending to every detail, engaging in pleasant conversation, and understanding how to take care of their customers. We will surely return and look forward to sampling some other wonderful tapas and small plates, although I may not be able to get my wife to stray from her beloved brie and caramelized red onion now. read more

Um, pretty much the perfect place for date night... First dates, thousandth dates, last date, whatever. Amazing patio, great music(cheers to whoever auditions these people or trusts their mixed tape), great wine selection, and awesome food! I love their bruschetta's . The service is speedy and low key, you don't have to worry about someone hovering, but when you need that next glass, they are there with a suggestion. Professional and knowledgeable. The owners are great. I think every time I have been there(a lot) one of them has stopped by to say hi and make sure everything was great. I know this place has just transferred ownership, and MAN they are doing everything right. It was good when I first started going, and now it is GREAT! Totally recommend to anyone looking to take a date to a classy place that is reasonably priced, where you can make it a long night if things are going well, and a short night if she sucks. read more

This place is a joke if they think they compare to any sort of respectable wine bar. If this comment offends you, feel free to pull down your pants and start crying now. After looking over what I would consider the 'Cliffs Notes' version of a wine list (BS on calling yourself a wine cellar), we chose a bottle of the ONEHOPE Red Cab. I was happy to learn that half the proceeds went to the cure for Autism until i realized that the waitstaff could have used the money, as they all had some special needs of their own. In an attempt to move past the mediocre start to the evening we moved on to the food menu. The Tomato/Basil/Mozzarella bruschetta had no basil (wtf?), the Orzo and Shrimp starter lacked the red onion it so desperately needed to be a success and who in their right mind serves their pizza on oversized crackers? Just because you throw something 'fancy' on the menu like duck confit doesn't mean you have a license to lack on quality. Thankfully the music became the highlight of the evening. If it weren't for the 2-man, live band playing a lively rendition of MyGirl in the corner, I don't know if we would have survived the evening ;) read more

I've always thought MWC had a great visual atmosphere, the colors and the artwork were great, but I never really connected to the place and their wine list was not interesting until now... New owners took over November '11 and the vibe has changed for the better. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly. Its the kind of place you can go to alone and make immediate friends with the other customers and the staff. The wine list has greatly improved and since they brought in a new chef (Sarah) the food is absolutely mouth watering. They have a great happy hour on food and wine and their regular Saturday tastings are a great way to find new and different wines. The staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable about the wines they serve, which helps make a great wine bar. Fantastic patio with live music on the weekends - this is the perfect spot for a group of friends or date night. I'm starting to become a regular and I don't even live close by. read more

Since a recent ownership change, My Wine Cellar has lost all charm and appeal. The food has gone downhill and the friendly owners are sorely missed. The service is terrible and recently the new owners refused to honor a vaild gift certificate. The certificate had $50 remaning - on a previous visit the new owners promised they would honor the remainder, despite the certificate being issued by the old owners. When I returned with my mom to use the rest of the certificate we were told it couldn't be honored - they'd lost too much money on such certificates. The owner claimed to be too busy to come to our table and tell us this in person and the bar was not full. The waitress/manager explained the last time she honored a certificate that she ended up paying for the meal out of her own pocket. What amazing owners to alienate not only, the purchaser and holder of the cert, bu their own staff as well. Certianly won't be back. For the past several years I've used My Wine Cellar as the go to place for wine classes, gifts, a special bottle of wine. I'm so sad that the new owners are so amazingly clueless. Oh well reason to explore new places! read more

We came in and there was acoustic music and the mood here was perfect and tell me why it was so amazing? The wine was delicious, I had some Pinot! We were here for just a drink before heading out for dinner but I can't wait to come back. The location was odd but this place is so cute and has such a lovely ambiance. The waitresses were kind and brought the check out quick since we were in a hurry and we had such good seats, I was happy all in all and can't wait to come back sometimes super soon :) I highly recommend their live music, it adds the perfect flair for a date night or girls night out. read more

If I had the time, I could eat here every night. The combination of the new chef (Chef David Laser from Cork) and the amazing staff serving his kickass food (he and Chef Mary Ann created an entire new menu), this dark horse of a restaurant will soon be the leader of this town's wine/food world. I have tried all the bruschetta and not one was unsatisfying (if you're up for trying something new, try the duck!!). The pizzas are amazing and if you ask me, are far better than Bianco's in downtown -- these aren't all hyped up! But of course, it comes down to a trio of things: atmosphere, food, & wine. My WIne Cellar has all three working for them in perfect unison. Service was great, the new owners are very friendly, and I love just being there! But don't take my word for it, come in, eat for yourself! read more

My Wine Cellar is the retail half of Lucy's Place, which is the "wine bar." Together, they offer you a bit of everything - from a plethora of wine to purchase and take home to a menu that sells by the glass. Pair their chardonnay or pinot noir with a bruschetta or caprese salad appetizer, and you'll find yourself in palette nirvana. The place boasts a cozy, off-the-beaten-path feel. You walk in and are immediately transported to a more relaxed, come-as-you-are, drink-as-much-as-you-want atmosphere that offers dining tables, comfy chairs and couches and a short bar. Inside the colors are true to wine bar standards - on the dark side, encouraging to just let your tense shoulders relax. Lucy's place is a delightful find - a hard throw away from the trendy places you'll find in strip malls or in popular Scottsdale locations. In fact, it's nowhere near Scottsdale, nor does it pretend to be anything except what it is - a wine bar that offers you a wide selection, impeccable service and an atmosphere you aren't quick to leave. When I went, they had live acoustic music - a one man show playing the likes of Ryan Adams and Wilco. It was the perfect addition to a satisfying happy hour experience. Plus, Lucy has a couple small TVs hanging in view, in case you need to catch the baseball scores (it so happened to be turned onto the Red Sox game). I didn't want to leave. That in and of itself tells me Lucy's Place is a rare find. I'd give it 5 stars if it were in my neighborhood. It's a short trek southward, but definitely worth a regular visit if you're in the area or just in the mood for wine that'll satiate your palette, along with a relaxed atmosphere that'll assuage your workday woes. http://my-wine-cellar.com/lucys_place.htm read more

I have been twice. Both times were great, the staff makes the place a charm to attend and go to. ~Fud/Drink~ Well, the food takes an obvious second place to the wines in house, which there are plenty of. The staff understands how to interpret your pallet well, and easily helped guide my fiance and self through the options we had. We ordered some Sweet Red they had on the shelf which was perfect with the pizza we ordered. The pizza was a fine thin crust with yummy add-ins like pepperoni and olives, etc. The wines here all are fantastic, we had a hard time choosing from the selection they keep stock of. They also have some beers if you prefer that, although I believe the selection has changed. ~Atmosphere~ It has a quiet, local and relaxing quality to it. I felt right at home and our waitress on each occasion was welcoming and attentive. It has a lot of homey qualities to the site, the bar area has a TV but its not in your face, allowing me the chance to pay attention to whom I am with, rather than other disturbances. They have an outdoor patio we briefly skimmed over. Next time I go I'll update on it so you have a feel for what it provides, etc. There is a general sense that loud noise is well out of the norm here, so boisterous parties are probably best left for reserving space for an event. ~Extras/Rating~ They do host events, and they do a great job at hosting them from what I have heard. It is an awesome idea for a date, there isn't a better idea for a first date then some wine and pizza to chill to while you talk. They get 4 stars for having a good blend of food and wine/beer selection as well. Plus on top of that, the ambiance is perfectly romantic and will leave you with a great lasting memory! My fiance and I have a favorite wine bar, BUT this is a very close second! read more

Love it love it love it. Whether you're looking for a fantastic bottle to take home or you want to munch on cheese and crackers while you drink and converse, My Wine Cellar has you covered. The retail portion of the restaurant is really excellent, the walls lined with a huge selection of reds and whites. If you're intimidated by the selection or are a beginning wino, the restaurant offers "wine education" courses. My fiance and I attended a weekly "Wine 101" course a couple of years back. Each week, we sampled a different genre of wine including reds, whites, dessert wines, and champagnes. Also, each week included a guest speaker, usually a sales rep for a wine maker. Lots of fun and I learned a huge amount of information! read more

A great neighborhood spot! I often pop in for the after-work happy hour and fell in love with the atmosphere, the great wine and the staff. I have even been participating in their monthly wine club -- a great way to expand your wine repertoire. When the weather is cooler, grab a seat on the outdoor patio for some amazing sunset golf-course views. Be sure to try the spiced nuts! read more

The Cellar - Spiced nuts! - Wine Bars Near Me - Ahwatukee, Arizona

I love coming here for an after work drink in a relaxing environment. They have a decent wine selection with a nice happy hour menu offering some really tasty treats. I love the bruschetta, particularly the brie, apple and caramelized onions - delicious! The staff has always been incredibly friendly and attentive. I sit on the patio almost every time and love it. They have lights strung across the patio and it gives a great ambiance in the evening. I've been on a Saturday night before and they had live entertainment - just a guy and his guitar - and it was the perfect touch to the already amazing atmosphere. I also attended a networking event here for women in my industry and they handled it perfectly. The staff was spot on, offered perfect little bites and made it a very enjoyable event. I really like how laid back and relaxed the environment is and am so happy it's so close to work that I can make it a regular spot to unwind. read more

This place is amazing! Thank you Ashley and Chris for a memorable Saturday night on the patio. We sat outside and watched the sunset behind the golf course and the mountains. We had the Farmer's Market appetizer and the cauliflower was amazing. We came back later that night for dinner and was surprised to have a lovely vocalist on the patio. She was not too loud so we could still talk - a rare thing to find sometimes. She even took requests and sang "Hallelujah." When you are sitting on the patio, you forget you are even in town and feel like you have been transported to a resort atmosphere. The inside is just as lovely and cozy. I almost do not want to share my review so I can keep My Wine Cellar a secret but it is too good not to share. read more

This place is the BEST. Everything I've had on the menu is wonderful and unique. They have a great selection! For a wine bar, I don't expect such an extensive menu but I actually love getting dinner here with my wine. The entire staff is extremely fun and friendly. Atmosphere is on point. Will be back many more times!! This place is a gem- a must try if you haven't experienced it yet. read more
