The editorial take
A wine bar where every front-of-house staff member is a sommelier, and the list backs it up: producers from Spain, France, Germany, Italy, Austria, the Czech Republic, Portugal, Lebanon, and Argentina, with by-the-glass pours from $15 to $20 and bottles from $55 to $80. Cocktails lean aperitif and spritz, including a Chamberyzette-and-Alpine-strawberry drink and a Cappelletti Spritz. Beer rotates as a Beer of Day with light, hoppy, and zero options.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Aperitif Cocktail (Chamberyzette, Alpine Strawberries, Soda, $19) or the Cappelletti Spritz ($18). For wine, the Oriol Rossell Brut Nature Cava at $15 a glass is a sharp entry, and the Tantaka Arabako Txakolina at $18 brings Basque Country character. The Wonderwerk Big Orange skin contact and Uivo-Folias de Baco Renegado chilled red are strong by-the-glass picks. Bottles run $55 to $80.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Drinkers who want a sommelier on the floor and a wine list that moves across sparkling, white, skin contact, chilled red, red, and rosé without settling into one region. Aperitif and spritz drinkers will find a dedicated cocktail section, and the Beer of Day gives light, hoppy, and zero options.
- When should I go?
- Happy Hour is listed. The aperitif and spritz format suits an early drink, and the by-the-glass range from $15 to $20 keeps a single glass or a short round easy to frame.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Cocktails run $15 to $19, with the Aperitif Cocktail at $19 and the COUP'd Spritz at $15. Wines by the glass are $15 to $20; bottles are $55 to $80. Beer of Day tall boys are $12, and the non-alcoholic Kolsch is $10 a can.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The floor staff are all sommeliers, which is unusual for a wine bar at this price band. The list ranges across sparkling, white, skin contact, chilled red, red, and rosé and pulls producers from Spain, France, Germany, Italy, Austria, the Czech Republic, Portugal, Lebanon, and Argentina, with glass pricing from $15 to $20.
