The editorial take
Neighborhood Cellar is a wine-first bar with a by-the-glass list spanning Franciacorta to Etna. A $22 flight of three pours offers a low-commitment tour of the list, while the sommelier-curated wine club deepens the program for regulars. Skin-contact and mineral-driven whites stand out among the offerings.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Marigny 'White Ferrari' skin-contact from Willamette for apricot and blood orange notes, or the Coquerel Verdelho for a round, mineral white. The Berlucchi 61 'Extra Brut' Franciacorta is a crisp, celebratory pour. A three-wine flight at $22 is a sound way to explore.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Wine drinkers who appreciate small producers and off-the-beaten-path regions. The flight format suits curious tasters, and the wine club appeals to those who want curated bottles monthly.
- When should I go?
- Happy hour is mentioned, making it a suitable early-evening stop. The wine club's early access to events suggests checking the calendar for allocated releases.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Glasses range from $10 to $14, with a three-wine flight at $22. Wine club membership offers a 10% discount on in-store purchases.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- A sommelier-curated wine club with monthly bottle deliveries and early access to allocated wines sets it apart. The list's focus on family-owned vineyards and small independent producers, plus skin-contact and mineral-driven selections, gives the program a distinctive, thoughtful character.

How it sits with the food
No food menu is documented, but the wine list's acidity and minerality suggest pairings with shellfish, fresh cheeses, or light seafood. The Franciacorta and Verdelho would complement briny oysters, while the Pinot Noir suits roasted poultry.
