The editorial take
Hemispheres Wine Bar pairs a deep wine list with seven flights, from a $22 World Flight to a $41 Specialty Flight, and a quarterly regional spotlight. The cocktail program covers classics plus the bourbon-and-maple signature The Quiet Professional. Local beers, alcohol-free cocktails, and a 4 Roses flight round out a program that rewards exploration.
- What should I order?
- Start with a wine flight—the World Wine Flight offers a tour of the bar's own labels. For a splurge, the Specialty Flight includes Caymus 50th Anniversary Cabernet. Cocktail drinkers should try The Quiet Professional, a bourbon, disaronno, maple, and bitters creation.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Wine enthusiasts seeking variety and education, given the multiple flights and quarterly regional focus. Cocktail purists will appreciate the classic list, and non-drinkers are well-served by alcohol-free cocktails and wines. Groups may find the range accommodating.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Cocktails range from $14 to $21; wine flights from $22 to $41; all beers are $9; alcohol-free cocktails are $14; non-alcoholic wines are $26 per bottle. Wine glasses range from $9 to $30, bottles up to $266.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The quarterly rotating wine regions and the breadth of flights—including a $41 Specialty Flight with Caymus—set the wine program apart. The non-alcoholic selection is unusually deep, with multiple zero-proof cocktails and wines. The Quiet Professional is a house signature worth noting.
