Absolutely awesome place run by people who really care about wine, know so much, and are a pleasure to spend an evening with. So glad we have this place in Chicago.

Robert the owner of Apero wine bar made our experience SO beyond amazing. He taught us all about wine and gave us a great wine tasting. The yummy fresh sourdough bread and little snacks were superb and next time we will definitely be ordering some food too!Could not recommend this wine bar enough. You can tell how much love is in it! Thank you again

Whether you are an experienced wine drinker or a newbie, Apero is the absolute perfect place to learn about and enjoy different types of wines. Incredibly relaxed atmosphere, educated staff, and top quality wines tailored to your preference.

Incredibly happy I spotted in for a night cap. I’m usually somewhat uncomfortable at wine bars because I’m not very knowledgeable about wine, but they were so kind and thoughtful about letting us try wines and learn more about them to determine what we want. Very happy to have tried a beautiful Greek wine and excellent Spanish Vermouth. Looking forward to returning soon.

I love it here. The wines are amazing, interesting, and thoughtful. Robert is a gem of a human, can find you the wine for you based on your tastes (even my poor descriptions). The music, lighting, and decor are perfect. Bring your computer in the late afternoon and sit at the bar, go on a date, enjoy the delicious food. Apero is the place to be.

We didn't have food, just wine. Apero has a super chill vibe and is a great place to hang with friends or for date night. Nice wine selection and really charming space.

What a new and amazing wine bar! Robert (proprietor and principal sommelier has imbued me with a new appreciation for Greek wines! The salinity of the Mediterranean, makes me imagine I am there! I love it, and I love Apero! Do yourself a favor and check it out!

Went to check out Apero for a glass of wine before dinner and ended up having an incredible experience! We weren't sure what to order and rather than just choosing a glass randomly, Robert came to our table and asked what we were looking for. He provided us with multiple tasting experiences, explained each wine and what to look for, and was fun & knowledgeable. We will absolutely be back for more tastings & wine knowledge! A great, local spot!

Finally gave Apero a try after constantly walking by it. Ambiance is pleasant—dimmed lights for a personal and romantic experience. Wine selection is great and food was surprisingly good too for a wine bar. I had their cheese and bread platter and a soup. Will be heading over again once I can afford it ?
My go to wine bar - fabulous atmosphere, enthusiastic staff, and great wine. What else do you need?

This has become our go-to spot and we are so grateful for Rob and his wonderful place! Such a warm, loving, and classy natural wine bar with great food and even better service from a great crew. The patio is a delight on a warm eve. And is super cozy in the winter. Rob is incredibly knowledgeable- he guides you thru the menu and his charisma shines through.Wheelchair accessibility: Bar seats that are at wheelchair height.

Such a fabulous and cozy wine bar with amazing nibbles to snack on while enjoying unique wines from around the world. Staff is super knowledgeable and encouraged us to get out of our comfort zones and try new things. Desserts were exceptional as well.
