Great service from the host! Would love to come back. There is a special anniversary event happening soon!

Lovely lounge-y feel to this lovely wine bar. Great selection of wines, easy street parking right on University or neighborhood. Wonderful place to spend an evening with friends.

This is a lovely little wine bar! Excellent selection, and the owner was kind enough to put together a little charcuterie board for one person (although the normal size serves 2-3).

I highly recommend stopping by for a glass and a nibble if you’re shopping in the area - very relaxing space.

I’m a big fan of this wine bar, it’s exactly what the neighborhood needs, an upscale spot good for dates and getting away from the traffic. Highly recommended.

My best friend and I made a reservation at Wine So Cru, and from the moment we arrived, we felt taken care of. The staff opened the door for us and warmly welcomed us before seating us near the fireplace, which added to the cozy ambiance. The atmosphere here is incredible—chic yet inviting.

Throughout our visit, the staff checked in on us just the right amount, attentive without being intrusive. We each enjoyed wine flights; I went with the champagne flight, while my best friend opted for the Chardonnay. Both were fantastic choices! We also tried the olives, which paired nicely with our drinks. There was a pop-up on-site that looked interesting, but as I'm vegan, we didn’t try it this time.

Overall, Wine So Cru left a great impression, and I’ll definitely be back soon!

A lovely neighborhood wine bar with great service from owners Nubeer and Sonny with expertly curated wines (by the glass, bottle, or flights) plus a small retail shop for take home bottles!

Neighborhood gem. Burgundies and champagnes I've never seen before.

We went for both a wine tasting AND ordered a charcuterie board picnic set on the weekend! Both were 10/10, especially the picnic basket. It had everything and all of the food and treats were great quality!!

We went here about a month ago and had such a good experience. The atmosphere is very cozy and chill while the staff is attentive. We sampled a variety of wines and they were all great. We ordered the charcuterie and it was a perfect compliment to the wines. I’m headed back to Berkeley this week and we’ve already made plans to meet up there again.
