Hubby and I headed over here on a Friday after I got off work. I really just wanted to chill with a glass of wine and get a bite to eat. I yelped and googled because we thought we'd try something new. I checked the website and saw $5 glasses of wine and $3 craft beers. Until 8pm? Done!
It's a cute little place, no doubt! The owner was super nice and the atmosphere was good and people were friendly. This place just confuses me though. I thought the happy hour advertised on the website was WAY misleading. I totally understand you have 80+ wines but when less than 10% of those are actually the advertised happy hour price, I feel a little duped. The beers were a very good deal for craft beers on happy hour which is why there's three stars and not two. The tapas looked good but also seemed a bit overpriced for what you got.
I can't help but feel they have over extended themselves and the prices reflect that. 80+ wines is a lot to manage by the glass. I am wondering how much wine the end up dumping due to spoilage. If I order a glass and they open the bottle, they have to hope I drink a couple glasses or three other people come in the next few days and happen to pick that wine out of the 80 choices. The bar fits a small amount of people so I can't see that as being very likely. It also makes me question how fresh the wine is when I get the last glass.
Comparing to other wine bars, I am happier with a pared down wine list of good stuff with a couple of familiar wineries thrown in. I can take a risk on a new wine the bartender recommends on happy hour at $6. At $10 on happy hour, not so much.
