Cutest Wine Bar Ever! This little door that is painted with a damask pattern leads up a stairway into this warm and cozy area full of eclectic artwork and interior design. Large murals on canvas and funky artwork with detailed framing surround the room. For tables, old sewing machines that have been stained and brushed with colour.
We didn't order any food, but there is a good variety of snacks to munch on.. including assorted nuts (caught my eye) - includes everything EXCEPT peanuts. I wonder why?
Menus are screwd into a wood plank (very creative and rustic) and there is a good selection of wine. Wines come in Jars, Jugs or bottles. My friend and I ordered a Jar or Chilean Syrah, which equals to about 1/2 a litre for $22. The wine was fruitful and full bodied. The smell of berries was very prominent. I was quite pleased! We each got two glasses out of the jug which I thought was a great deal!
Little would you know that you would find boardgames in this place - the table beside us was playing battleship.... would be something I do on my next visit! Another surprise was inside the sewing machine drawers contains colourful post-it notes... of people's wishes and secrets to be shared with others. It reminded me of the post-secret website where thoughts are always posted anonymously. What a way to top my night off.
I was expecting this place to be extremely chilly - as it is in an older building, but the interior was very well insulated and I never felt cold, even sitting beside the window. Just before midnight, a crowd of 10 showed up and things got very lively. The music was great and I know on other nights, they play shows like mad men.
This place is such a gem. I cannot wait to come back!
