My first time here was so lovely and I will be coming back. Seems great for a girls night, date, or taking the in laws when they visit. The staff was kind and the patio was a vibe. Love it!! read more

Popped in before dinner on May 4th and were surprised to be greeted by life size cardboard Yoda and Chewbacca cut outs, Star Wars decor, and Star Wars playing on the TVs. The staff sure know how to have fun with it the date! We sat at the bar and the staff were attentive and knowledgeable of the wines on menu. The ambiance on this particular night was a bit quirky as it still had the modern and cozy wine bar aesthetic underneath the Star Wars decor. read more

Always love Unwind! The service is always great, the wine selection is always amazing! The fireplace inside for the winter is the perfect girls night or date night vibe! read more

Love this hidden gem - it's tucked away and you'd miss it if you were looking for it. Unwind has the ultimate cozy vibes, with a fireplace and intimate lighting. Their wine selection is broad and has a variety of options - one of the best wine lists I've come across in Ohio. Pro tip: get the artichoke dip read more

This place is a lot of fun and the wine selection is eclectic to where you can do a flight or a glass at a reasonable price..cheese board was delicious and paired well with a Napa Cab..$30.00 a glass..6 oz. Perfect to unwind and catch up with an old friend. read more

I cannot begin to say enough great things about this place. After seeing a Reel on Instagram I thought this would be a cool place for my wife and I to celebrate our 10 year anniversary after our dinner. I sent an email requesting a reservation and received confirmation within 24 hours. Upon arrival we were greeted by the owner, Derrick who welcomed us and even spent a little time with us before our server came over. This place is the perfect date night spot. They have a great wine selection, I would highly recommend exploring their seasonal flights. Great vibes at Unwind, we will definitely be back. read more

Beautiful wine bar in Hyde Park that has an excellent assortment of wines with really knowledgeable staff. They also have some small bites that are quite good. The interior is very cozy and a great place to relax and have a drink before dinner or a night cap. read more

Unwind has done a really nice job of becoming a part of the neighborhood. While I have been coming here for many years, I am writing this review to support what has become a really enjoyable spot. It is very comfortable and the owner works very hard at developing the team around him. We felt strongly we wanted to support them during the difficult Covid years and we are really happy he had the strength to make it. He has created a really dependable spot and it is great to have it in the neighborhood. read more

Unwind is my favorite wine bar in the city. It has delicious wine, a great patio in the heart of Hyde Park square, and very good appetizers. We've had the same server, Anthony, the last several times and he's does the best job of being attentive without being overbearing. The owner has also been there each time we've gone and you can tell he is very hands on and passionate about his wine bar. We love the ambiance by outside and in the wine bar. read more

Great little spot to come any season! Get there early if you want a fireplace spot in winter or to sit in the courtyard in the summer! Servers see always super nice, and lots of good wine options, even for someone who only likes sweet wines like me! They had gluten free carrot cake one time when we came (soooo good) but haven't had that in a while. They do offer other gluten free friendly items, but we honestly usually just come for a couple of glasses of wine! read more

Cozy space for wine and nibbles. Arrived at 5, and the place was filling up. I was glad to hear that I could reserve a table for my next visit. read more

Wonderful, cozy atmosphere, and nice selection of wines. We definitely recommend and will return.

I love this place. The fireplace, which dominates the main space, just is so welcoming. Even when I can't sit beside it -- which I often can't, because usually someone else has grabbed one of the couches -- it still just enhances the atmosphere. And you can't beat the patio on a warm night, it feels like a garden setting rather than sitting on the street. So in or out, a very welcoming space. The wine flights are wonderful, the small plates are very good. You can definitely make dinner out of them. The service is prompt and helpful. The only thing nitpick I have is the crackers that come with the cheese board. The cheese board feels very rustic and upscale, but it's served with club crackers, which are basically the white bread of crackers. Almost any other option would be a step up. read more

Lovely wine bar in Hyde Park. After an afternoon of shopping in the square, we wondered in and had a truly wonderful cheese tray and wine...of course we had wine. Owner makes an effort to greet every patron...that's always a plus. We sat outside on a beautiful day, but the inside is warm and welcoming as well. I can see sipping a glass of wine in front of the fire while it's snowing outsider. Putting that on my "to do" list for the near future. read more

Would love to try this place when I gets warmer out; they have such a nice outdoor seating area! Service is great, even when they're busy! It was really crowded on the weekend and is actually pretty loud inside due to high people-traffic (there's street parking right outside in front, of you can park in Hyde Park Square and walk across the street). Take advantage of their happy hour (4-7pm)! $2 off most apps and glass pours! The wine flight is such a great way to try different wines and the Apple and fig crostini was such a good appetizer, different but really tasty. read more

We arrived pretty late, after midnight, but only wanted to stop in for a quick nightcap. The drink list is fairly extensive with a wine for everyone (and it even includes beer). We sat on the expansive uncovered patio which has plenty of seating. You can choose from a more formal table set-up or more informal groupings. I loved the outdoor lighting which was, for lack if a better description, very twinkly and romantic. This would be a terrific first date or night out spot. I popped inside to use restroom and interior has lower mood lighting with loads of comfortable seating choices from bar service to tables. I really appreciated that you could chose from variable sized pours (3 ounces & 6 ounces). I tried a Gewertz while my friend had a nice rose. I ordered a 3 ounces pour and when the server brought a full 6 ounces, he said bartender had made mistake but I'd only be charged for the tasting. Couldn't let the extra wine go to waste. Looking forward to going back next time I'm in town. Perfect place for our group of girlfriends to get our vino on and catch up! read more

Bathrooms are very clean. The vibe is clean and chill and the atmosphere is great. I'm not a wine drinker but if I was this would be the place I would go, winos heaven. I had a nice waitress named Natasha, who walked us thru the menu. I came to unwind before the start of my birthday week and i ordered the chocolate cake. The cake was so dry, the ganache was flavorless, and it came with a berry sauce that was to much sauce for the cake. I ordered a ice cream with the cake and I didn't like it either.. but I could taste the fresh ingredients. The small menu of food is vegetarian, and it's small snackable type cheese and crackers thing. But... come try it yourself read more

I came here on a date, but truthfully, it's Unwind that I fell for. From the romantic mood-lighting, to the great wine list, there's lots to fall in love with at Unwind. It wasn't the wine or the mood that sold me, though... it was the stellar and genuine service. From the moment our id's were checked, the staff was quick to share a laugh and make everything about the experience so personable and memorable. As someone who knows very little about wine, I was quick to order the house-made sangria. The sangria was delightful and was exactly what I wanted. Next time, I'm definitely going to let Unwind take the wheel and recommend some wines for me to try (I don't trust myself at the driver's seat). I cannot wait to venture back to Unwind for what I'm sure will be another great experience. read more

I've been coming to Unwind for years. Usually I stick to a glass of wine or a martini. Today I hosted 2 other people. 6 glasses of wine and 3 appetizers totaled $150+. With a tip I left $180 out of pocket. Appetizers were bleh! The wine choices were not on the high end. Overall very unimpressive. Of course it is clean and pleasant in its environment. However the springs/cushions in a couple of our chairs were wore out and we needed to get better chairs. Give me a break.......! read more

@UnwindWineBar in Hyde Park oozes class and sophistication. There are endless wines available by glass, bottle, and sampler! For just $20.00 you can enjoy their incredible Summer Sampler which includes; two whites, one rosè & one red! * Their cheese boards are superbly crafted, and their other food including their rustic bread and dips isn't bad either, giving you the ultimate Mediterranean feel. * read more

I really wanted to like this place. The cheese board we enjoyed was really nice as was the wine but the atmosphere was just, I don't know, uppity. We like a nice place as much as the next guy but this place felt so pretentious. Everyone around us seemed to be regulars and some of the staff seemed snobbish. Our waiter was very nice and personable, but I just felt out of place and not necessarily welcome. I can see the appeal, as this place could be very romantic or a nice place to take someone for a drink but I will most likely not return. Just not for me. read more

I really want to give a place that serves a wine flight like the one pictured 5 stars, but I just can't. The venue is nice with excellent outdoor seating and good ambiance. However the service is slow. Like tortoise slow. I get this is the kind of place you come to relax and likely spend a decent amount of time, but I still need them to pick up the speed. The food menu is lackluster and the cheese plate was sparse despite the $16 price tag. It's a nice place for a meet and greet, but don't go if you're really hungry and make sure you have plenty of time (like til Christmas) on your hands. The wine flight was really good and generous pours! read more

Amazing wine and amazing atmosphere. The service is also great. Love this place and will definitely come back!!

Unwind is the perfect place to go with friends for a relaxing evening out. When we walked in the place was decorated for Christmas and the fire made the whole room feel cozy and warm! We had the cheese plate and also tried one of the end of season sale wines. It was great! We will be back. read more

I don't want to tell you about this place because I don't want too many people showing up at my wine haven. It's wonderful from top to bottom and even with the generous seating, there are nights when finding a seat can be tricky. The whole vibe of this place great. Dim lights, cozy tables with candlelight, a floor to ceiling wine rack, and a top notch staff make this a natural ladies night or romantic date spot. The menu is pretty expansive and the staff are super knowledgeable. I have had them create a custom wine flight on many occasions and never been disappointed. They diversity of their wine selection can suit any taste and you can even invite that basic b**** friend who exclaims "I just want something fruity and sweet and white." She has to sit in the corner, but she can come. The food is also divine. I cannot stress enough how amazeballs the Artichoke dip and the apple and fig crostini are. Like, lick the plate divine. They bake the bread for the dip fresh and the apple...fig...drooling on my keyboard....yuuuuuummmmmmmm. Do not miss out. And Ms. Fruity Wine can have a bite...if she's good. There is a generous Happy Hour Mon-Fri from 4-7, so grab the ladies, put on your fancy yoga pants, and get over there. But please, save me a seat. read more

Went here to celebrate my 36th birthday not really knowing what to expect. It was just my husband and I. It was approx 9:00 on a Saturday night. We had no problem finding a seat. We were served right away and service was good. I randomly picked a red with a little help from the server, he was very knowledgeable. DO NOT leave this place without trying the apple fig crostini, totally did not expect it to be that tasty of a snack. I will return once it warms up and the patio opens. Seriously cutest little place nestled in the heart of Hyde park. This is my new favorite wine bar. read more

A quaint little wine cellar with very soothing vibes! The room was dimly lit with a fireplace and candles. We sat ourselves and were immediately greeted by Mike who was not shy to tell us of their happy hour deals and wine bottle specials. I ordered the Margherita flatbread (which was simply the best I've ever had) as well as the artichoke dip which was tasty as well. When we ran out of the bread, Mike was quick to bring crackers to finish off the dip. For wine, I ordered a bottle of the Salomon norwood shiraz cabernet 2015 that was lovely and only $35! I would definitely recommend getting together with some friends at Hyde Park's cutest wine bar. read more

Even during COVID19 time, Unwind is open for carry out and bottle sales. I got two reds and a white for a VERY reasonable price. The owner himself took care of me and seems a really nice guy. Small business owner, doing his best to get through this cruddiness. Great selection of wines, and they do their light bites menu to go as well. It's a plan...! Anyway, I went in thinking about one bottle of red but his offer is too good to pass up -- so I got three bottles! read more

The staff always had the best recommendations for wine. Although they're called "light fare", the portions were huge! Split the pretzel platter and artichoke dip with a friend and it was an entire meal. read more

I love this place! I've come here a few times with friends to drink some wine and eat some light apps, and sometimes just wine and dessert! They have the perfect ambiance inside and outside. The inside is dim, has comfortable couches, a classy vibe, fireplace going, and just all around somewhere you'd want to hang out for a while. The outside Is my favorite though! The outside terrace has some comfortable couches, patio furniture, small tables, etc. with candle lights on the tables, string lights hanging, and light jazz music playing in the background - it's so perfect, and its a great place to hang out for a while! I actually come here with friends I haven't seen in a while to catch up because we end up wanting to stay for so long, they really hit the nail on the head with ambiance/atmosphere! They do wine flights, you can make your own, and they come in a cool tiered wine glass holder. They print out a sheet of what you got so you don't forget. Prices aren't bad, full glasses range from $8+, but I always get the flight (you can do 4 or 5 wines) and usually is $25-$35. They also have light bites, there is no meat. The cheeseboard is AMAZING. It has 3 different cheeses, marcona almonds, crackers, grapes, etc. And the truffle spinach and artichoke dip is the best!! read more

I recently stumbled upon Unwind when wanting to catch up with a gf and enjoy some drinks. We did late night drinks and the vibe was everything. Very chill. Comfortable lighting. Social yet intimate set up. Just excellent. We had a flight each and really enjoyed catching up next to the fireplace while sampling the different wines. There were lots of couples, friends and even some large parties. But it wasn't the bad loud. And we were there on a Monday! read more

Met a girlfriend here for drinks after work, and was impressed from start to finish. You walk in and are immediately transported to a warm, calm, and classy interior. The place was busy - but not crowded with small groups and pairs quietly chatting. I personally find it difficult in Cincinnati to find a bar large enough to not be drowned with noise from other patrons, while still being small enough to feel intimate, however unwined was absolutely perfect. We had the waiter suggest a wine to go with the two flatbreads we ordered , which we loved! After doing a little research I did find out that they have rotating wine flights, which I'm very sad I didn't try. As if I needed another reason to return! Can't wait for my next trip! read more
