| - Hands down, the best wine bar in Northeast Ohio. After a delicious gourmet meal at The Flying Fig, my fiancèe and I wanted to keep our date night going with some sophisticated swil. Luckily, right next door is Market Avenue Wine bar. Wine bars are kind of my thing and my favorites have always been on the West Coast or NYC, but now this classy joint it is def one of favorites.
The atmosphere can be described as romantic elegance meets Art Museum - the colors inside are dark reds and wood, beautiful gothic chandeliers hang from the ceiling, and gorgeous paintings (some of which you can find at the CLE Museum of Art) adorn the walls. All of this in summation equals the perfect atmosphere with which to enjoy delicious wine paired with good conversation with friends or a significant other. As another awesome bonus, they have a huge room in the back that can be booked for private events, complete with a fireplace, couches, more art, open windows, and another bar- that just happened to be free and open the night we were there, adding some nice room to walk around with.
Besides the amazing ambiance/building, the overall experience was accentuated by the delicious wine and service. Our bartender, Max (I think) was awesome. He was very friendly, nice, and informative - giving me a great suggestion for sake (delicious) as well as imparted upon me some interesting wine knowledge and recommended one of the most flavorful Pinot Noire's I've enjoyed. Also, everyone here seemed to be well-dressed, 20 and 30 something professionals, which is our crowd as well.
Market Avenue Wine Bar, again, is hands down the best wine bar in the area, or anywhere for that matter and is the perfect place to gather with friends for a classy night out.
