| - Catching the killer sunset on their great patio is truly something all Clevelanders must experience, and more than once while you're at it! Especially when you can hear the calming sounds of a train chugging by... it's picturesque.
So, I love wine. My Dad loves wine. My boyfriend loves wine. And my Mom, well, she's allergic (permanent DD!!! WOOO!), but still loves wine culture. We spend most of our family time out in Geneva scooting around the wineries and having a blast. But now, we have a great wine bar in our arsenal that brings them out this way for a similar, warm feeling.
We came two nights in a row, actually. Once on Friday with just my Honey and I, then again on Saturday night. Both nights had an overall older crowd with a speckling of young professionals. I'd say it was about a 70/30 ratio. And you know what? It was a relief! A place to hide away from newly-turned 21 year olds, hipsters and soccer Mom's from Mentor who don't get enough attention from their husbands. It's a great crowd. Saturday night boasted live music, a full house and a packed patio. I'm not sure if you can call ahead for the patio, but I'd try because in the summer months it's busy--with good reason.
Although I haven't tried much food here, I did manage to sneak a sweet potato fry from my cousin, who was paying way more attention to scarfing his chicken sliders. I was divine and there weren't any complaints from him, either. It's likely known they have a great wine list, but I'm loving the integration of those great wines my family loves from Geneva! In fact, the owner works closely with a lot of those vineyards out there, so we get the best of both worlds!
This is just a great wine bar with an even better vibe, inside and out. And don't miss out on their insanely awesome happy hour prices. Cheap, delicious food AND house wine pours bigger than your face for $4. Melikey. Oh, and ample, free parking!!
Keep up the great work, Mike and staff!
